This generator checks all the boxes

The WGEN12000DF is full of features for a generator at this power level. It had dual fuel, many outlets, <5% total harmonic distortion, add starting options. Installation was minimal, just install wheels, add oil, connect the battery and propane tank and push the start button. Very powerful but very heavy with is expected

Review for WGEN14500DFc- Whole House Backup Power

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.

Powerful and easy to use

I bought this a month ago and have used it one time already. It was powerful enough to power my entire home minus one of two AC units. Though very large it is relatively easy to move and a great value. Generac generators were quoted at 3 times the cost of this device and this one can go with me if I ever move.

Pros and cons

I use this generator daily on the farm. It works great. I like the low idle feature to conserve fuel. However, one of the 30a receptacles has gone out after 9 months, and on low idle it tends to burn out capacitors on compressors when using the low idle mode.

So far.

I received this generator today, and put it together quite easily. The battery is in a slightly inconvenient location, but it's not the worst I've ever worked on (that would be upside down in a submarine engine room bilge). You don't have to completely remove the battery to hook it up, just lift straight up and slide to the right to reach the terminal.

Best yet !

Living in Florida, I have three generators. This is the biggest and best yet ! This is my first dual fuel. Working on getting the correct tank for my use. It is all together and ready to go as soon as I get a tank. I have a family member that has a smaller Westinghouse, that is the reason for my purchase. I'm excited !

Great generator, needs a few minor tweaks

The WG12000DF generator is powerful. It does what it says it can do. It powers up everything in my house. I can run one A/C unit at a time with it. It's easy to set up and run once its outside the box it came in. I just followed the quick start up guide. It's easy to move around with the included handlebars. The no run-flat tires are sturdy and strong enough to hold the heavy side of the generator. I especially like the remote start feature. However, I would have tweaked a few minor areas that I saw could've been improved. I would've liked to see the 50 amp outlet moved away from the wheel area. I had a difficult time connecting my 50 amp cord to that outlet. The generator is noisy, and some kind of sound muffler would have been helpful to have on it. The oil dipstick could have had a min and max label put on it. An oil indicator level on the outside (similar to the gasoline indicator level) would also have been good to have. Exposed outside metal surfaces can get hot to the touch. An extra layer of heat resistant foam should've been placed on those areas as an extra layer of safety. Other than these minor issues, the generator is great!

Peace of mind!

We just got our Westinghouse WGen1200DF today! My handy husband had no problem putting the wheels on and getting it mobile. We live in a rural area on a steep hill and can get trapped in icey weather. Finally, this year I can have peace of mind about that possibility. Thank you!

Great as a backup generator for a big house

This generator was purchased to feed the geothermal heating system of the house with a 5 Ton compressor during power outages in the Northeast winter. During testing, the inrush current was too high, so a soft start device was installed. Now the generator works like a charm with no hiccups when the compressor kicks in. Starts on either fuel from the first crank. Has enough power to supply the essential load of the house through the 50A cable with interlock.

Leaking fuel

2nd time using the generator. I followed gasoline startup procedure, turned the fuel selector knob to allow for gasoline operation, fuel starts poring down into the engine and appears to be coming out in several places. Obviously I can't use it now since it is a fire hazard. Very disappointed since it is only 2 months old.
