ran generator for 45 minutes and it stopped and would not start again.Handled load while it was running up until it stopped..I've had Briggs and Stratton,Generac and Champion generators with no problem so i figured i would give Westinghouse a try.. I retired from a utility and we had a lot of 34.5 kv transformers and 12.5 kv circuit breakers and they were very reliable i guess because they were made in the US..

I followed the well explained assembly/operation directions in the user manual. Pushed the auto start button and it instantly started!! I have a lot of machines on our property and this machine was the 1st one I ever had start on the 1st try! We have a water well on our property and I'm looking forward running it with this generator.

That 74dB in the specs is at idle, producing no power. Running, it checks out at 79-80dB at 27ft even at no load. Same as my 20yo Generac but feels louder. But it runs great on propane and produces clean power, a steady 120VAC at 60Hz. Except at idle, where the voltage runs as high as 149V on each leg and Hz up to 75. I'll just make sure to NEVER connect it to any load with it set to idle. Since it is about the only genset of this size that offer clean power AND runs on LPG, I'll live with the flaws.

I just received my generator. I use it for work. Had a smaller on that was getting a little old. Always wanted a dual fuel but was scared to pull the trigger. Both fuels seem to be working just fine. It's a hoss. The guy asked me that delivered it how was i going to get it off the truck. I said im not

Powerful, efficient, and quiet! After extensive research, I found the W12000DF Generator is the most efficient on fuel in the class of its size... AND it's the best bang for your buck. Along with a great warranty, what's to hesitate? It provides more runtime on a tank of gas than other comparable unit I looked at. We also heat our home with propane, so this spring, I'm planning on running a line to the rear patio so there will plenty of fuel for any extended outage situation. There are plenty of outlets. The weatherproof outlet covers are a great feature, snap in place. We live in a rural area and the electric goes out every season. This past winter it was out for 5 days...frustrating as it is, but finally we can run our entire home on this plant alone...we have 2 separate electric entrances, and it runs both. Before, on our little generator, we could only run on 110; a few lights and no appliances; now we can run everything, including the electric range, water heater, well pumps and even my small welder (if I need it). For a portable unit, this Gen packs a great punch. It's heavy, but once in place, it'll just do its thing. I love the push button start and the remote start FOB...super easy; no more pulling recoil cords!...especially in freezing weather! If you use the remote start, the switch on the Gen will have to be "on", which means it will put a continual drain on the battery but just remember to turn it off when in storage. Comes with its own charger, simple to use. Battery is a little difficult to attach but it's kept out of the way and once it's connected, forget about it. The charger port is on the front of the panel so it's not a problem to charge it. I would suggest purchasing a transfer switch to compliment your unit. I got a 50 amp outside connector box with a twist-lock cord and hardwired the box directly into our circuit panels. Works great!

I was looking for a gasoline powered generator that had enough power to run my whole house as I do not have access to natural gas where I live.I was pleased to find out that the initial setup was a breeze and when it started on the first try I was very pleased, for a huge generator I was quite pleased that it was actually quieter than the General I had at my previous residence.

This portable generator is everything the description says it is. It runs our 2000sq ft home with no problem. It doesn't drag when our air conditioner kicks on, it's tough. It will definitely serve it's purpose during hurricane season in SWLA!! Plenty of outlets for extra plug-ins. It is surprisingly quiet for as big as it is. We have no complaints and are super happy with our purchase. Pretty sure we will be putting it to the ultimate test during hurricane season. I have no worries, it's going to provide the power to my home and then some. Thank you Westinghouse!!

I love this open frame portable generator with incredible power. I use it as back up power for my entire house. During power outages in summer months while the air-conditioning is in the most frequent use, my electric bill energy usage shows. 3500Watts but my old 8000Watt generator is not powerful enough to run the A/C and it trips every now and again when a certain combination of loads is running. That is why I now have this WGen20000c super powerful generator. I love it and it meets all my needs.

Just received this but have already used it on a job site. I have it powering two 20 in concrete grinders, two dust collectors and a 5in hand grinder and vac. No hiccups at all. It's pretty large and heavy but moves around ease with the large tires .So far I'm very impressed.

I originally wanted a whole house generator in case of a hurricane. I also wanted a generator that I could take with me when I downsize and this one fit the bill. A "standby "generator would have to be sold with the house no money added to house value. This portable generator is big enough to power my current house and mobile so that when we downsize it will be able to power any smaller size house and have room to spare.
