i bought this power plant to help with power outages. It does more than I realized. I saw the smart switch outlet but didn't understand just what it would do until I read the user manual. actually turn on and off when the electricity fails. by itself. I haven't had to use it yet but i know i love it

These things are popular. It was only a few days after ordering this they were already out of stock. I got this to run the majority of my ~3500 sq ft house since power seems to go out enough I get concerned about food going bad. I bought this one specifically due to high power output and that it runs on natural gas. I needed to get my gas meter upgraded by my gas utility, then have a plumber hook the new meter up (homeowner not allowed to do this in my area). One thing I didn't easily find was the NG hose size for the WGEN14500Tfc, it is 3/4" and it came with a 25' 3/4" hose with quick connects. I also made a custom interlock for my main electrical panel and added a power inlet. I did fire it up on NG and test output but haven't hooked it up to the house yet. Very solid product, and heavy, but rolls easily with the wheels and handles.

I purchased this generator the first part of November from Electric Generator Direct and received it at the end of January 2022. Perfect condition. The assembly was minor and specification manual and start up operation made assembly a cinch. Very happy with the product.

I've had this generator about for 2 months. It was quick and easy to setup right out of the box. The added trickle charger and propane hose were a plus. I've only run propane thus far and haven't had any starting issue. I bought this as a home backup and it works to power my main appliances, pool pump, and furnace. One down side is that Westinghouse does not make a cover for this size generator.

Bought the WGEN14500DFc generator just before Christmas 2024 as a whole house backup power solution. Just now completed the test this February 2025. This unit will power my whole home including 2.5 ton/45,000 BTU American Standard HVAC unit w/easy start and all other electrical components in my home. I connected this through a 50 amp outlet plug hooked up to my circuit panel. The test was performed using unleaded gas.

I bought this generator to upgrade from a smaller older unit. It seems well built and looks good. I haven't had the chance to use it in a power outage yet but I plan to set it up as a semi permanent standby system. Westinghouse has the best reviews and that's why I decided on this unit.

Really is a 5-Star but since i'm nit-picking I knocked a star off due to the difficulty of trying to get the battery leads connected. This thing is a beast so understand it's 350-pound weight is no joke. You can't beat the value of this considering its output power and the fact it is rated for less than 5% THD (safe for most electronics). I will be using it for occasional portable needs but primarily as a home back-up generator. It will easily handle all my back-up power needs. Very excited to finally have back-up power here in Northern Maine.

I just received this generator. It looks great! Gave it a test run on propane just to check it out. Voltage and frequency are spot on. Plugged in my shop air compressor to give it some load but that's nothing for this beast. Looking forward to getting the break-in period out of the way so I can put a real load on it. I intend to use it for my whole house backup generator.

We did our research across all generators and this meets our needs, and you can't beat the price! Easy to maneuver and put together. My 8 year old installed the wheels after shipping. Only downside was 3rd party shipper rescheduling but that's an amazon/drop shipping issue, not Westinghouse.

Arrived as advertised. After a few steps, fully operational. Started right up and passed all electrical tests. 5 star as generator, lowered to 4 due to wheel placement interference with battery access and 50A plug. While not used extensively yet, idles at acceptable noise level but noisier than expected at low amp draw.
