This is my first generator I've ever owned after ultimately deciding it was time due to the extreme weather events in Texas. I appreciated that everything you need initially is ready to go within the box except one crucial item. I had assumed the natural gas feed line would connect to a standard 1/2" close pipe thread but realized it needed a flare thread after fussing with it for a while. I didn't see this specification anywhere in the manual or literature, but perhaps I just missed it. After a quick trip to the hardware store for an adapter, I was up and running. This unit is loud but was very simple to get set up and running.

Had straight line winds that knocked down trees, which knocked out power at camp house in a deep wooded area. The electric company said it was going to take to the good long while before power would be restored. This is August with 98 degree heat. My brother has a 15000 / 1300 Westinghouse.It seemed to do the job so I got the WGen10500 to give me power to the camp house while I cut trees to give me a route to the camp house. I got much needed AC. a shower because I had power to the well house, a working fridge. Lights. Even a TV in the middle of the woods. Before this happened, I had a 50/50 chance I wouldn't have power, due to the possibility of trees randomly falling on the power lines that ran to my camp house rendering my place powerless until the next day. My place is the last place to be powered by the electric company, and no one knows I'm powerless till I get there. So with the fact that I now have a WGen10500TFc, I don't Have to worry about the lack of electricity ever again.

We purchased this generator because we had a concern with our older generator. It was a pull start and my husband was having problems getting it started. This generator is electric start and multiple fuels can be used. We prefer propane and it can be stored a long time. It is well made and was easy to set up. We did have to figure out the power cord. I checked the product information and there were no directions about what to purchase. But we figured it out by looking at the power outlet on the generator. I think we will be very pleased.

The unit was difficult to start initially. After getting it started, however, it has been running well. Broke engine in for about five hours total and it is running very smoothly. The battery seemed low initially (it has been fairly cold) and after hooking up the tender to it for a few hours it seemed fine.

Bought this 2 days ago after 4 days of no power. This is a heavy but quiet generator. Only have to assemble the front legs, wheels and plug in the battery connectors. Ran it for 2 hours on a gallon of gas with no load and it ran well. Only complaint is the location of the oil fill / check location. It is underneath and behind the battery power cables. These cables are heavy duty and very stiff. Even with the funnel that comes with the machine it is not easy to fill or check the oil level.

We have owned several generator manufacturers in the past and this one is the most versatile and best running. We bought the tri-fuel model to have access to every type of fuel type at our home. This generator has a lot of power and long run times for the price. It is not as heavy to move around like others for it's size. The key fob is the icing on the cake.

I bought this about a month ago. It arrived earlier than expected (great) and was very well packed. Was missing one part - the key fob. Have tested on propane and it started right up. Not too noisy. Easy to assemble and easy to move with the handle and wheels.

The Westinghouse Model WGen11500TFc is loaded with features one wouldn't expect. Things like Push-button Start, Remote Key Fob, LED Digital Readout, and On-Board Battery Charger, are just a few of the things that come standard. In addition, the small dimensional footprint makes the unit both easy to handle as well as easy to store.

Brand new out the box. Set up easy,charged the battery. Started on second try,ran about 7 minutes shut down,started it again runs for about seven to ten minutes shuts down. Runs three minutes on Propane shuts down.. Called customer care got a case number,called all week. Have not heard from anybody as of yet.

I bought this as an upgrade to my Wgen9500c, which is also a great generator. I wanted something with a better THD. According to the Westinghouse website, the THD for the 11500 watt unit is </= 5%. I didn't have equipment to verify the percentage, but when my AC unit and well pump start the generator doesn't surge like the 9500 watt unit. It also powers lights, refrigerators and other 120V items as well as stove, cooktop, water heaters and microwave with selective usage. I have only had this a short time, but my last Westinghouse unit was great. I feel confident that this unit will be great as well.
