Right for my purpose

I bought this as an emergency generator and also am having electrical and natural gas connections installed and a soft start on each A/C. The generator looks good. I will try it once everything else is installed. It seems to be a great choice for my purpose since I don't need it to automatically start, but will take it outside and stary it up when needed. I also got a running generator tent so that I can run it if it is raining.

Great generator

I bought this generator and a week after we have a power outage that last 10 hours, was easy to setup and I just used my propano from my grill, I feed my refrigerator fans lamps and I gave an extension cord to my neighbor., work really good the entire time.

Off to a great start!

Did a ton of research and landed on the WGen11500TFc as striking the right balance of capacity, flexibility (multiple fuel sources) and low THD (prevent damage to sensitive electronics). Admittedly, I have only performed the initial 5-hour break in period, so it’s a small sample size. Time will tell if the unit is durable, but so far so good. While varying some light loads during the break-in period, the unit would barely blip, so you can definitely tell that it has huge capacity. I used propane, and it worked flawlessly. Love the fact that I have flexibility to use propane or gas (also supports natural gas). Kudos to Westinghouse for including all of the essential hoses and hookups for natural gas and propane, along with oil and everything you need to get up and running. The most work you need to do is put the wheels and rubber feet on, add oil, and you’re pretty much ready to go. Battery charger included as well. I have a 50 amp inlet, so this generator will give me close to full available capacity to power my house, including some of the larger power hungry appliances. The low THD was a must-have to avoid damaging my electronics, and I really appreciate that Westinghouse makes a number of portable generators that have THD, relative to other manufacturers. I would add that the generator, while heavy, is fairly easy to move and maneuver with the large wheels and handles. Another reason I preferred this generator was the size was much more manageable vs stepping up into the next tier. I wanted something with large capacity, but didn’t want to deal with manhandling a massive portable generator. If I had one gripe, some of the documentation included with the generator seems to be incorrect. On the included quick start/mechanical guide sheet it says the THD is 23%. I’ve seen other reviewers on Home Depot’s site comment on the THD being incorrect on the included documentation for this generator, so it seems to be a known issue. It just makes it confusing for a customer when the documentation is incorrect.

The size and quality I wanted! Great price too.

I had it with having to break out the old 3k generator, hook up the extension cords to run thru a window into the house. Get another extension to get to the fridge in one room, the heater in another and the modem in a third room. All while it's raining and storming and doing it all by flashlight. I don't care how old you are, you're too old for that crap! I wanted to be sure I got a Westinghouse Generator because of the quality. When I got estimates to install the 50-amp Generator Box to the house, the electricians all asked if I was getting a Westinghouse Generator. They all agreed it was the one that worked every time it was needed. Just follow the maintenance schedule and you'll be fine. I needed a generator that could handle surges to 5000 wats (central air, 14 amps, 240 volts) while running the house. I wanted tri-fuel so I could start out on propane and then switch to natural gas. Running on propane to start gets you through the start of the storm for hours so there's no rush to switch over until it's not as bad. We followed the directions and had it assembled (wheel and brace) and running in half an hour. This had the sound you want to hear when cranked up. Powerful. After about 10 minutes, connected it to the house with the 50-amb plug and thru the double throw switch. That's it. It ran the house on propane. Even when the central air kicked in, no problem. Ran it for about 15 minutes then switched back so I could shut it down. Time for the first run oil change. This is, without a doubt, the best security blanket I could get for the house, No more worries.

Nice unit

I bought this to run my mobile home if power goes out in Texas. The delivery was delayed but it arrived nicely packed. Put the wheels on, connected the battery and connected it to propane. Started right up. Having a transfer switch installed tomorrow so we'll be ready for any power outages.

The Generator You Need! WGen111500TFc

I purchased my Westinghouse generator in March, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. It’s given me real peace of mind as I prepare for hurricane season here in Texas. Knowing I can power my whole house in the event of a power outage is a huge relief. The generator has a great set of features that meet all my needs. I especially appreciate the tri-fuel capability — I personally use the propane option, but it’s reassuring to know I have three fuel choices to work with. Setup was straightforward, and the unit runs smoothly and reliably. Highly recommend this generator to anyone looking for a dependable backup power source!

Great Looking Generator

Arrived right on time. Assembly was straight forward and pretty simple. It was a little larger than I had expected. I picked this particular generator because of all the positive reviews. I hope to have it up and running tomorrow since I forgot to refill my propane tanks. I am sure that it will meet my expectations and power my whole house when needed.

Amazing versatility for the PNW!

I bought this unit based on the 50amp circuit, serviceability, long term investment for my mother in law’s home. We temporarily lose power on our farm due the fall and spring storms in the PNW. We’re excited to use this unit and keep her warm and safe during the outages.

easy to set up

It came securely packaged with clear set up and operating instructions. Very little assembly is required, primarily attaching the wheels. I've tested it several times and it runs exactly as I expected. I anticipated it was going to be loud, and it is

Good solid generator – glad we got it

We picked this up after the ice storms last year left us without power for a couple days. Living out here in Yukon, you just never know when the weather’s gonna turn, so having something dependable like this gives us some peace of mind. Setup was pretty straightforward. I like that it runs on gas, propane, or natural gas—that’s real handy, especially out here where propane’s easy to come by. We mainly use propane and it starts up fine every time. The push-button start is a nice touch, and the remote works from inside the house, which is great when it’s cold out. Noise-wise, it’s not exactly quiet, but it’s no worse than our neighbor’s mower. We keep it a good distance from the house and it doesn’t bother us much. It runs the fridge, freezer, a couple space heaters, and even the well pump without any issues. Haven’t had to use the transfer switch hookup yet but it’s nice knowing it’s ready if we need it. Only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because it’s a beast to move around, even with the wheels. Once it’s in place, it’s great—but getting it there takes some muscle. Other than that, we’re real happy with it. Westinghouse did a good job with this one.
