Purchased the WGen 12000/15000 DF and I'm so impressed. I had an electrician install a Reliance Controls PB50 (50amp) plug to my house. Used a 50amp power cord from generator to house. This generator ran 100% everything in my house. I ran the Central A/C, ceiling fans, all lights in and out the house. TV's, microwave, wife's blow dryer, oven, furnace no problem. Didn't even bog down. I feel as though this thing had more to give than what I threw at it. I live in a 1700sf home so I hope this review can help those who are considering this unit. I highly recommend.

I had my Electrician make two cords for the two 50 amp receptacles (100 amps) on this generator to power the whole house. Leaving out all the details, this Monster powered the whole house on just 50 amps! I will use the available 100 amps but I just thought this was amazing! I could not find any other portable generators with this amount of power and with two 50 amp receptacles. I saved roughly 50% of the cost of a standby generator. For my situation, this generator choice worked best. It's big and heavy. I think it needs at least a 20-25 gallon gas tank. It comes with a 17 gallon tank. I have not used the propane or natural options. I'm happy, wife is happy!

I bought this due to living in Texas with Hurricane season coming. Hurricane in the Gulf and I went to set it up and it wouldn't work. I called service department they were great. Missing fuse would be mailing in 5-7 days. I said since you sold me an expensive broke generator shouldn't you overnight the part. Their reply 5-7 days. So here a sit after hurricane with no electricity and a defective generator in my garage.

Overall this is a solid product with a lot of features that the competitors do not provide. There are a couple of things that Westinghouse can improve on this product. 1. Off the pallet, after installing the wheels, the wheels should be touching the ground so you can roll the generator off the pallet. This is very heavy (352lb). With the wheels not touching the ground, it took 3 adults to lift if up and move it off the pallet. 2. The dip stick is in a very awkward location. Plus, it is very hard to pull it off and good luck in trying to push it back in. other than that, it is a great product with lots of functions.

Bought Westinghouse GEN. from Family Farm and Home. Owned a little over a year and it will not start (electric nor pull). Westinghouse is the Ford of small engines - DON'T TRUST THEM. GENs are easy to repair - fuel, fire and air, especially at a year old, but who has time for these games so early on? Not this guy, regardless of their warranty. If it malfunctions this quickly it's not considerable. No excuses. It means the design engineer doesn't care, thus the company doesn't care. Poor Q/C and design. Shenanigans. Will have repaired and sell if anyone will buy it. We wonder why no foreigners want to sell or buy American made products made recently.

It's asking me to do a review for each of my warranty registrations, so this is my second one. As I mentioned previously, two new 20,000 Watt generators arrived without the washers for the axels, or the trickle chargers necessary to keep the battery ready to go during a power failure. I let the washers slide and just went to the hardware store, but the chargers are a different matter. There is no pull rope on these big units. No battery, no start. What's worse is that we've cranked them so they can run for the 5 hour break in period as you're not supposed to exceed 50% of the load during that time and we wanted them to be ready for a real power failure. Unfortunately we're experiencing random shutdowns. It can be restarted after about 30 seconds or so, but I'm wondering if the auto choke is kicking in and choking the engine. Whatever the case, this is not acceptable for units that are for emergency use.

Generator starts and runs and shuts off randomly. After 15 min. , 22, 5, 45, minutes . Been with out power. Tried at 3 in n the morning after let it cool down to see if there is a overheating but exactly same thing happened as I'm writing the review. My old general 8000 after being in storage for 3 yrs works perfectly fine in my neighborhood house after I let him borrow since I bought this new gen20000 generator. Garbage. Good luck!!!! with the tech support.

THE BEAST IS WHAT THIS IS. ALL 432 LB'S OF HER. AFTER ATTACHING THE WHEELS AND MANEUVERING THIS THING OFF THE CRATE, IT WAS AN EASY PROCESS TO GET THE BEAST READY FOR FUTURE POWER GRID FAILURES. BOLTED ON THE LIFT BAR, FILLED THE CRANKCASE WITH THE 1.6L OF SUPPLIED OIL, CONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINALS, ADDED SOME GAS, PAIRED THE REMOTE START FOB. THE BEAST STARTED ON THE SECOND TRY AND RAN WELL. I WILL ADD AS I READ QUESTIONS/ANSWERS ONLINE ABOUT THIS UNIT, I SAW NEW OWNERS SAY THAT AN OIL FILTER WAS NOT DESIGNED ON THIS TWIN MOTOR. I FOUND THE FILTER LOCATED FORWARD FROM THE MUFFLER ON THAT SIDE, LOWER SECTION OF THE MOTOR AN OIL FILTER RESIDES. THIS GENERATOR WILL GIVE MY FAMILY A GOOD SENSE OF SECURITY WHEN THE NEXT HURRICANE HIT MY AREA OF FLORIDA.

I bought this after the winter storm in 2021. First time I used it it worked great and used it for 3 hours. The next time I used it it wouldn't start so I took it to the shop and they got it fixed. Third time I used it everything was great. The fourth time it was hard to start and when it did start it backfired and died. I tried to start it again and it was making a loud knocking noise so I turned it off. Now I'm trying to get it fixed under warranty and no one will return my call. Please do not buy this thing. They don't want to do anything under warranty.

Tis machine is seriously impressive. Very sturdy and well thought out placement of service spots and functions. Love it!
