The WGen10500TFc is a modern sports car!

I upgraded to the WGen10500TFc from a Generac XG10000e for fuel flexibility and the best way that I could describe the differences is that my new Westinghouse feels like a modern sports car and my Generac feels like a dump truck. While dimensions aren't significantly different, the Westinghouse feels much smaller due to its lower profile. While visual appeal wasn't a consideration in my purchase, the flat black coating on the frame coupled with the blue really gives it a nice look. The website pics really don't do it justice. She's a beaut Clark! Another pain point with my Generac was that it was electric start only. I now have both electric and recoil options. Between that and the tri-fuel option, the Westinghouse is a much more resilient machine. Lastly, build quality appears exceptional thus far. One of the first things I broke on my old Generac was the handle because there was a cheap piece of plastic that held the handle in its prime operating position. The Westinghouse handle is much sturdier and even has a soft foam padding so I can feel pampered while moving it about. I also like the cross bars over the fuel tank for added protection against me dropping things on it. While I've tested it, I haven't had the opportunity to put her to work running my home over multiple days yet, but so far I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Plenty of what you need, fast power.

I purchased this unit as my first home generator and I was not let you down. With the option of tri-fuel, you cannot go wrong as to when you need this to work. Power and ease of operation with the remote, push button and last resort pull cord. It will not let you down.

Eagerly awaiting Power Outage

I purchased this generator couple weeks ago because out in Houston, Tx we recently been hit with severe weather and power outage. I'm very impressed and happy with my purchase. I'm using natural gas along with 50amp inlet hook up. On my first initial startup, the generator started right up effortlessly. I then tested to see if it would run my 2 HVAC units on natural gas and to my surprised, it did. I was over the MOON. A few of my neighbors have already ordered theirs and are following my setup. I'll be installing soft starts on both a/c units in a few weeks.

All features you want in a solid package

Bought this a month ago, and it works as expected. Only note is the thing is heavy. Packaging is a concern as you'll see in some other reviews. I had it delivered to the store so I could see it before leaving with it as there are stories of some pretty harsh damages to the generator.

Cadillac of Generators

I was torn between another brand stationary whole house generator, and a friend of mine who is an electrician recommended the WGen11500 tri-fuel. Wow. Excellent features, lots of power. Putting it together was a breeze; all quality parts and easy instructions. Runs fine with plenty of juice. When he saw it, my electrician friend said, "that's the Cadillac of generators." I'll go with that.

Trifuel Rules!

After being without power for several days during the Texas Winter Storm and the recent Hurricane Beryl we decided it is time for a generator. We selected the WGen11500tfc based on numerous great reviews and having the ability to power our entire house including AC unit. We had to wait for the WGen11500tfc to be back in stock but eventually received it and have been impressed with the service & craftsmanship.

Quieter and more efficient than expected

I bought this unit a month ago after doing a lot of research on tri-fuel portable generators. I already had a tap put on my gas meter and my 50 amp connection to my house panel from my previous smaller tri-fuel unit. The generator I had before was 6900 peak and 5500 running watts on natural gas. It could comfortably run most of my 2100 sqft house including a could window AC units and portable AC units but we were certainly at it's maximum capacity with so much running. The biggest problem was that our new 4 ton central AC couldn't run since it would trip the breaker on the generator when it would try to kick on. This Westinghouse unit is able to start the big AC system even when the rest of my electric panel is on and the freezers and everything are running. It can run every part of my house as far as I know. I haven't tried running the dryer, stove, and AC at the same time so I can't verify that for sure. I bought this unit after comparing multiple in the same size range and this was by far the best value for size of any of them. There's another brand that has a 15k unit almost identical but the natural gas side isn't much bigger at all than this one. Also that brand needs a 3/4 inch gas line and this one runs on a 1/2 inch line. There's so many things that I already knew were better on this unit (THD is so much lower than other brands and not much higher than what's considered inverter levels, more efficient based on fuel usage per load ratings on each manufacturer website, cost, ability to remote start it, and more). I was not aware that the unit would be not much louder than my smaller previous unit. Don't get me wrong, is certainly not inverter level on noise but it's also not nearly as loud as I would expect. I can't wait to build a ventilated generator house for it and sound proof it even more.

WESTINGHOUSE GENERATOR

AT THIS POINT. I have had someone start the machinge successfully. I am still waiting for the electrician to receive the parts required to install the machine to my house. After he installs the generator satisfactorily, I could give a more complete review. T. Calhoun

First Impression Is Great!

We haven't had to actually use it yet but we did set it up for natural gas and ran thru the process which was very easy to understand. It ran our entire 1800 sq ft house including the air conditioner. We had a professional electrician install a main breaker and a 50amp outlet outside. We also had a a gas professional install connections outside. The product seems sturdy and well built. It is loud as all generators are. We still have not broke it in yet. Overall, we are happy with this purchase.

Great Gen w/many features

Generator was easy to set up and has many features other similar generators do not have. After set up it started up right away. The battery tender, quick connect for propane and the ability to run 3 fuels are just a few of the nice features. Lighter than my old generatror which produced about 75% of the power this one does. Runs everything in the house including a 4 ton central AC unit. Would definitely purchase again!
