Ordered the Wgen12000DFc that was upgraded to the Wgen18000DFc in 2024. My understanding is that the specs. were better than the manual previously stated. That being said, No buyers remorse. If your on the fence and on a budget, about a generator, you need to get off the fence and get this beast. I'm a one handed 68 year young man on a fixed income, this has all the helpful options to make a power outage as painless as possible. If I can work or move this thing you can too.

So, today was perfect weather outside. The power goes out unexpectedly. We ran the generator for a full 2 hours on gas until it was empty and power was back on. This generator powers our whole house washer, dryer. AC (4ton), TV, and lights. It did not blink with the load it carried. It is a truly a beast. After a lot of research, we decided on this one to have true back up generator. We had a certified electrician install a 50 amp inlet to the main breaker box. It is worth the peace of of mind to have it done correctly. Then we purchased our cord from Acme Tools. We recommend going with straight blade in the for the generator as it is easy to plug in and pull out. We even bought a customized cover for it. What a great product and the Westinghouse brand is second to none.

I bought this item on 9/07/23. It arrived the next day, which was breathtakingly surprising. Well Done to the shipping company Estes. The unit was well-packaged on a pallet. It was easy to install the wheels and roll the generator off the pallet. Although I started the generator and let it run for about 20 minutes, I have not used it to power my whole house yet. I really appreciate the remote start and push button start options. The electrician is coming this week to install the inlet box, interlock switch, and soft starts for our 4 ton and 2 ton heat pumps. Once these units are installed, I will update this review to indicate how well the generator powers our whole house.

This unit replaced a smaller 7500W Westinghouse generator which was gas only. Convenience of having dual fuel and low THD (cleaner power over the last unit) was the selling point. The additional power capability over the last unit. The only drawbacks are this unit is slightly louder than the 7500W and twice the weight. The WGEN12000DF has the “Smart Idle” feature the can be turned on/off via a switch on the control panel. Tested this out at no load condition, and it significantly reduces the engine RPM, in turn reducing the noise. The documentation and online photos have no mention of this added feature, which I would assume might be a newer feature for the 2021+ models.

I wanted to be sure that I was prepared for the power outages in Houston Texas. We've experienced power outages in various conditions; winter and summer. I needed a generator that can handle powering my entire house and some. See, I have a neighbor that is a senior citizen that is taking care of her disabled daughter and I wanted a generator that could handle both houses. We both had an electrician to get our houses with the capability to connect to the generator and we were so excited to see both our houses running of of the Westinghouse Tri fuel 20000! I also turn on my A/C unit on this generator and it handled it like a champ! We were so impressed and believe that we are now prepared for any outage in our area. Thank you Westinghouse family. Great product!!!

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!

I bought this Generator for a back up to supply power to my Solar Panel array in the Winter Months. Main reason is dual fuel. I like the flexibility. However, the 2 110v receptacles have GFCI curcuits and they do not work properly. Always shutting off. Need to get them replaced with normal duplex outlets.

I bought this a little over a month ago. I was looking for a higher wattage generator, and this one seems to meet my needs. I have it set up to use in a power outage. I have not needed it yet, but it did well when the electrician and I tried it out.

Overall this is a great unit. I also own a Generac GP15000E. All things being equal, I think the Generac is better built and will most likely have a longer life. However, this unit has dual fuel capability, smart switch technology, remote start, and a battery charger. All are the reasons, I went with this unit, and I'm not disappointed.

This is the second Westinghouse generator I have purchased this month. The dual fuel capability for monthly exercise of the engine was a key feature as well as the low THD. I have owner Generac and a variety of box brands and the workmanship and features for the price make them a high value purchase.
