I bought this generator to power a large home. Assembly was minimal and easy. Setup to operate is simple and it started right up. I have not been able to test load capacity yet. I am trying to figure out if the 30AMP transfer switch is the correct one to maximize the output or if I should go with a 50amp transfer switch when connecting to my homes breaker box. The only issue I see is being unable to find a 50amp transfer switch from Westinghouse to ensure compatibility in order to go that route.

This generator is LARGE !!, Uncrated ,filled with oil, Filled up fuel tank, connected Battery, Fired Up Instantly !!, Everything functions as it should. Running at approx 50% Load it will run our whole house, Heat Pump, Stove, Microwave, Washer & Dryer, All appliances.... This thing doesnt even struggle a bit.. Bring On The Storms !!!

I live in florida and bought this after IAN. I have used it twice since during helene and Milton. It ran my whole house minus one or two rooms to i clude a 4 ton ac, two refrigerators, a deep freezer, microwave, 3 bedrooms and living room. It was flawless. Propane and gas switch over is easy. The best part is an oil change is so simple with the extended hose. The nrst home purchase i ever made.

Just received my generator. The way it is packaged for shipping makes it super easy to put together. The wheels go on easy! The oil supplied was in a 1.6 L bottle which is exactly the amount of oil needed for set up. I saved and refilled the oil bottle so my next oil change will be easy. One thing I would have like to have included was the male quick connect for the Natural Gas supply side.

Very easy to put together with the clear instructions included, even though it is a heavy machine, the wheels make it very easy to move around. We have not had to use it yet, but we now have peace of mind that we are prepared for an emergency of power outage.

Purchased this generator July 2022. I have used it several times when the power was out. So far I have only ran it off of propane, which is what I intend to do unless I get in a situation where I run out of propane and need the generator in a pinch. I would then consider running on gasoline. Normally though I intend to only use propane because I don't want to deal with gasoline carbs gumming up. Seems to have plenty of power. We run the house A/C, 2 refrigerators, 1 deep freeze, and other appliances on. I think the A/C is a 4 ton OLD unit so it draws about 15 amps / 240V and the generator handles it fine. It grunts a little right when a heavy load is placed on it but they will all do that. I run my electric hot water heater as well, no problems.

I bought after the fabled Texas Winter of 2021. Of course ERCOT was so embarrassed that they mandated improvements so that we have had only a few outages since and mostly less than an hour. I have not run it enough to perform normal maintenance. However, I can comment on a couple of recommended improvements. The oil dipstick fits too tightly into the access hole. The wire handle so small that it is difficult to insert due to bending, and to extract, because it is so tight. Also to prevent gasoline w/ ethanol from crystallizing in the carburetor or the fuel lines, the gas must be drained. This is difficult because the hose from the tank to the valve is behind the valve switch plate. I can remove the hose from the valve but it is not long enough to reach to a drain bucket. Same problem with adding oil. The cap is recessed so that I had to buy a funnel with long spout to get oil in. Just some inconveniences. All in all, a great product

So, I set up Gen. Missing bolt for battery. Found a bolt and installed. Filled with oil and started without load. Looked around a saw gas shooting out near propane hookup and cooling fan was sucking it in and spraying all over Gen. Shut down and traced back under air filter. Removed lower housing for air filter and found one of the bolts loose too. The fuel shut off pushed out of the housing also when we tried to troubleshoot and lost more gas. Found one of the fuel lines cracked at clamp. I replaced the line. Running ok.

I bought this after hurricane Helene to replace a 20+ year old Coleman 6250. I wanted one big enough to run my whole house, well and central air conditioner so I wouldn’t have to switch stuff on and off which is fine for a dot or two but when you’re without power for weeks that gets old quickly. Hope this one last like my Coleman has and it’s nice that this Westinghouse has a 3 year warranty.

Bought this based on all the positive reviews. Just had it installed and everything seems ok. Trying to figure out how much oil was needed was a bit of challenge. There's no low oil indicator, only a dipstick which is bright yellow and difficult to see the actual oil level. Just hope it works when it's needed.
