I bought this ahead of Florida hurricane season 2023. We put together and attempted to start it hours before a hurricane was due....and we couldn't get it to start. We were lucky that we did not lose power. It turned out that the generator I bought had a bad battery. We were able to charge the battery and the generator started up.

I upgraded form the wgen9500df and am a little on the fence on reviewing right now. I just received it a couple days ago and finally had my son come over to help me put it together. Ran the generator and seemed to run a little rough and I connected a lamp and it was dimming off/on. Will reach out to support and see how the support is. Will Update review once this is resolved. This is my second Westinghouse generator and had the wgen9500df since 2020 and has ran without a single hitch so am confident this will get resolved

I bought this generator after several weeks of reviewing many generators. I originally planned on buying two. So we could run everything with out a worry. But this generator will run my a/c ,lights, tv and well pump. All at the same time. So another 12000 watt generator might be over kill.

Bought this bad boy because it's supposed to be able to run my entire house. Being a Louisiana resident during hurricane season, who could ask for anything more. If lights go out or god forbid one comes our way, I'll be sure to come back and give a review that I can 100% stand behind.

Had our generator delivered today...definitely they way to go, no idea how we would have gotten it out of our tuck without a tractor or skid steer. Easy to assemble, probably took 30 mins, might have been less had I had someone else to bounce questions off of. Overall happy with the purchase, will not worried when the next Texas freeze comes!!!

So far so good! I hooked up my home to this generator for emergencies. It seems to have no problem running everything in our home and swimming pool pumps - excluding our A/C and heater. We have a 4,300 sf home. The pool pumps are important in the event of a freeze - they keep the pipes from freezing and busting. I feel much better having this generator in place!!

Bought the WGEN14500DFc generator just before Christmas 2024 as a whole house backup power solution. Just now completed the test this February 2025. This unit will power my whole home including 2.5 ton/45,000 BTU American Standard HVAC unit w/easy start and all other electrical components in my home. I connected this through a 50 amp outlet plug hooked up to my circuit panel. The test was performed using unleaded gas.

Was easy to get ready to start. Good manual, except parts diagram needs magnifying glass to read. Big wheels make this heavy unit easy to move on the smooth level, but needs second person to help on grass, gravel, or slopes. Started on LP first try and runs well. Like the oil drain hose update. Am ready for the next power outage.

My neighbor bought this and my electrician recommended this generator. I have a dual panel breakers box so I needed this model. I ran it for about 7 hrs to break it in and have changed the oil and oil filter. Very easy to change. It didn't bat an eye when I tested it hooked up to the house. However it does take it two times to start each time and on one occasion it died and restarted by itself. The life timer on the unit also stopped working after that for some reason. Other than that, it is simple to operate.

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.
