Great generator

We just received this item and it’s a BEAST! We often get power outages in our part of California(thanks PGE). We wanted a bigger generator to run our AC in the summer during these outages. Can’t wait to get it set up and see how it handles the power we need!

Exactly as advertised!!!

This generator is definitely heavy duty and it will get the job done, whatever your power needs may be. Awesome to have the 50 amp option since I will be mostly using it as a backup power supply for my entire home. Shipping was fast and on time as advertised. I would definitely recommend this item.

Startup & Run didn't go well

I purchased March 18 2022, received March 31 2022, stored in garage until June 10 2022 for initial startup & run...followed all startup procedures. Then ran under moderate load for about 5-10 mins then it shut down. Ran again in an hour or so w/o any load and it shut down within 5-10 mins. I then called customer service.

Great overall package

I’ve yet to use it in an outage, but overall I’m impressed with the overall package of the WGEN1200DFc. Instructions were great and it fired right up. I like that the THD is low and the dual fuel means I can keep a propane tank on hand instead of a bunch of fuel.

Powerhouse

I set this generator up to run my house. Plugged it directly to the breaker box from the 50amp plug. It worked flawlessly. Only had a bit of a drag on it when the a/c kicked on (as expected). Carried the load easily on propane. It is pretty quiet for a generator this size. I couldn’t be more happy.

Great Generator

Great Generator, Its everything I was wanting to power the home. I live in south Texas along the gulf of Mexico. Hurricane season is always a stressful time. Now I can stay and protect my home and everything in it vs leaving the city and worrying about looters. I would have given it a 5 star, but when I opened it up, the screw from the oil pan wasn't closed correctly after they drained it for delivery and oil was everywhere. It wasn't allot but enough to worry me a little. The oil was all over the packaged items and the tools. Luckily that's all it was. But so far so good. This is my second Westinghouse Generator. Its a brand I can trust and the warranty is great.

Generator not staring by remote or pulling string.

The problem was my carburetor I had to taken apart and completely clean it out. After doing this it started up on the very first push of the remote button. A few people that I know had the same issue. Each of us did getthe generator by taken apart and cleaning the carburetor completely out.

Neat Generator

Between owning a WGen3600DFc and this one, they both are on the heavy side so a two person lift is recommended. I like the protective covering on this model unlike the open body on the WGen3600DFc. I have not used this one yet but I expect to have the same results as my other generator. I bought this one as it runs in less fuel but for longer. Both generator are relatively the same size.

i love the 50amp service.

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

Power to spare for entire residence

This generator is a beast with the power to sustain my home during major power outage. The unit is able to run a 4 ton ac and hot water tank at the same time. This equates to 7500 watts with both running. Plenty power left for fridge and other minor house appliance. My ac does have the soft start by hyper engineering. The generator is well built. Two issues I did encounter is when I un-packaged the unit the carbon canister was detached from the bracket. Might of sustained rough transportation. The gas thank flange on the left side was slightly bent. You can tell because the bolt holding the tank same location as canister is bent. Gas not leaking and tank appears to be intact. Another minor annoyance is I cant get the generator out of my rear garage door. It is a standard door. I have to remove the door to get the unit out. If the door opened all the way it would be a tight fit. My door opens at 90 degree angle before hitting the wall. With door removed I have maybe 1/8 inch on each side of the wheels before it hits the door jamb. Did find a black screw in the bottom of the pallet and could not figure out where it came from. The screw is the same as the ones that hold exhaust heat shield together. Maybe accidentally left in the box during packing.
