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.

Just delivered yesterday, minimal assembly, well documented. Started first time, on the first crank (propane, so far). Was happy with my old, smaller generator but it was time to upgrade and I expect this 12000DF will deliver. Electrician hired to wire interlock took one look and was impressed.

Delivered without any issues. First challenge is the wheels are not already attached. They say you have to lift the 600# unit to put the wheels on. In reality the wheels went on without lifting the unit. However, to get the unit off of the crate you are supposed to have a lift. How many people have that in their garage. I was able to make a ramp with brick pavers as the wheels are outside the box to allow me to get it down without a lift. initial setup was easy and it started up easily. I have not plugged it into the transfer switch yet as I’m still in the 5 hour breakin period. However a portable AC unit keeps tripping the one of the standard household plugs even when it’s the only thing plugged in and it’s plugged indirectly to the generator without any extension cords. I’m checking a couple of things to see why. If that continues that would be a challenge. Electrician is coming tomorrow to swap out 30 amp boxes for 50 amp so I’ll see how it works on the transfer switches and how break in goes.

I bought this generator to ensure my family would not be without power when the unreliable Texas power grid goes down and having the flexibility of running either of the three fuels was greatly desired. During a 20 minute test run this thing was able to power our entire 3300 square-foot house on a single 50 amp breaker using natural gas gas. This thing is a power horse and a must for anybody wanting whole home power.

My husband and I looked for over a month to find the perfect generator out there. After much searching and researching, we came to the decision to by a Westinghouse generator and we are so happy we did! Even our electrician was impressed! Thank you for putting so much care into your products! God bless you! Sincerely, Kathleen

This generator has many features that make using it convenient. Remote start, dual fuel is an easy switch when needed, leave gas in the tank but run it out of the carburetor before storing and battery charger are some of the features that make this generator a good choice.

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.

i researched generators for months and finally brought it down to 2 generators. after further digging the westinghouse gen turned out to be better than any othernthat i looked at. it runs my whole house even the central air conditioner, you cant beat a westinghouse.

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.

This is our second Westinghouse and it has a second bad starter. Manufacturer knows this and sent us a new starter. It was installed and still had. If I could, I would get my money back, but the manufacturer says they will send a new starter when the “good ones” come into stock as they had a whole set of bad starters. And the place I bought it from won’t take a return. Looking forward to Westinghouse sending me the updated, good version of the starter so that my brand new 12000W generator will finally work.
