Runs Smooth, Lots of Power

Very well protected in shipping and in perfect condition. Using propane only. It fired up very smooth and quickly. In a test, it had no problem running 8 circuits on our panel, including central AC. Have not used in an emergency, luckily, but I feel comfortable it's going to run like a champ.

Well built machine

I bought 12000 DF last week got it delivered 5 days earlier than expected which was a bonus. It took all of ten minutes to put the wheels and feet pegs on plus the oil. Once that was done it was time to put some gas in the tank and fired right up. Have not tried propane run yet as I don't have any yet. Would highly recommend this generator.

9500df generator

Generator arrived in good condition. Put gas and oil in it and it started right up. Just got my power cord hooked up to transfer switch and tried it out. It handled 3 deep freezers and 2 refrigerators, a deep well pump and lights in my house and shop just fine. Can't wait to get propane line ran from my big tank to see how it does. Seems like a good product.

14500Fc

Needed a new generator and after my research, this is the one I felt matched my needs. First impression is that it's well built. Heavy but it won't move very far as it's for my house. First nights run was flawless. You'll get about 10hrs our of a tank of gas. I haven't ran it on propane yet. Many features that I like, some I don't need. Set up was a breeze. I'm pleased with my purchase so far.

Full featured whole house back-up Generator

Not really having a budget for a whole house back-up generator but knowing what was the most important thing during a power outage was the primary focus of this generator purchase. You never really know exactly what circumstance your going to find yourself in when your looking to power your house because of an outage. Was your gas line taken out by a careless excavator, was there a natural disaster, or a terrorist attack? You better hope you have a tri-fuel generator if you are looking to have all your options open to you when it really counts, that's why i chose the WGen 14500TFc. With the THD <5, total steel construction, heavy duty V-twin (even has an oil cooler and oil filter), low idle control, battery maintainer, electric start, and remote start you really cant go wrong. This generator is built very well with every feature you could want. Check out the other big name manufactures and I'm pretty sure you will come to the same conclusion that i did. I didn't want the problems that come along with a permanent generator that will only run on 2 fuel types or the eventual hassle that comes with the automatic transfer switch and separate load center of a Generac style stand-by generator. If you want the best setup for redundancy, buy this Tri-Fuel Westinghouse generator, a Eaton T050N (for the 50 amp receptacle), a interlock for your load center, and a LUNTHINK outdoor generator enclosure. Don't forget to FLOAT the neutral!

works great

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.

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!

Everything I need is installed in this generator

I purchased this generator a while ago for when we get hit with a hurricane here in Florida. Hurricane Ian arrived. So I got to open the box, this general was packed so well it was unbelievable. No damage to the generator that I could see. Living in Lake Worth Florida the hurricane Didn't give us a direct hit so we didn't lose any power.I am still waiting to use this generator. I loveThe features of electric start, Remote start and Pull cord start. I recommend this generator because of the power it has and being dual fuel makes it beneficial

Great product

We bought the WGen 12000DF to replace an older generator we had. It works amazing It does everything I can through at it. The packaging was fantastic It didn't have a scratch on. On top of all the features this generator has, having a remote to start and stop it makes it worth every penny.

Convenient features

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.
