I just purchased this generator and I’m impressed with it’s features. The generator arrived in perfect condition and was easy to set up. I had it up and running on a LP tank in about 15 minutes. I’m enjoying the piece of mind knowing that it’ll be ready for the next power outage.

We did our research across all generators and this meets our needs, and you can't beat the price! Easy to maneuver and put together. My 8 year old installed the wheels after shipping. Only downside was 3rd party shipper rescheduling but that's an amazon/drop shipping issue, not Westinghouse.

I purchased this generator in preparation for the Texas 2024 hurricane season. The setup was easy. The machine is well built. I had a chance to use this generator during hurricane Beryl which hit my town on July 10th, 2024. Once we lost power, I was able to switch to this generator and it has performed great. We are in out 5th day without electricity and the generator is still running great.

Purchased online 3/25/21 but just delivered today, 4/17/21. Pretty easy to set up. The one challenge was getting the generator off the pallet. Fortunately I have a front end loader, so used a chain to lift it high enough to pull the pallet out. Currently this was purchased to keep the lights on when power goes off. We live in an area where there are lots of tall pines and when we get heavy snow/ice multiple trees usually come down and hit the power lines. The most recent outage lasted 4 days, and our old generator could keep some lights on, a fridge and freezer but couldn't run the well pump. Added Oil, and some gas. Some people had complained in other reviews that they had to remove the wheel to pull the battery out. I did not find that to be an issue, if you have a small socket wrench it is pretty easy to remove the clamp bolt behind the wheel and the battery will tip out without too much effort. The generator started right up and a quick test with an electric drill before the rain started was good. Going to do full test connecting to the house later when the rain ends. We have a 50 amp external connection for this generator with a manual transfer switch and a critical loads sub-panel so not using the Westinghouse auto transfer switch. We have a well pump that we need to power and couldn't do that with the auto-transfer switch. I can't say how well this will hold up over time since I've only done a few minutes of run time, but it is well built so I am hoping that it will last at least as long as our old generator has. Positives: Has enough capacity to run the whole house for us. Can use gasoline or LP gas. Right now testing with gasoline, but will likely get a reasonably large LP tank since storing gasoline for an extended time takes a lot of space and will go stale even with stabilizer. So having the LP capability was another selling point. Electric start. Not too hard to roll around with the large wheels, just a little more effort than our previous 5,5KW generator. While it is noisy, I actually think that it is slightly quieter than that old generator which was about 17 years old. Comes with a battery keeper/charger that plugs into the panel which is a nice touch. < 5% THD which is the main reason for going with the Westinghouse instead of a cheaper 12Kw generator. Remote start key fob, although we probably won't use it in our installation. If we add solar to the mix it would be nice if we could leverage the remote start so the solar inverter could start the generator as needed to top off backup batteries, but don't know if that is a possiblity. Negatives: I find the oil dipstick a bit challenging to remove and reinstall, uses a long rubber "plug" piece instead of a screw in dipstick. It was very hard to pull out initially, but got better while checking oil level. It would appear that the Oil drain plug is situated such that it will likely be a bit messy changing the oil so I may add a drain extension similar to ones that can be used with Honda generators. The manual didn't appear to suggest a good spot to tie the pins for the handles to. Would be nice if they had added that bit of detail. While I suppose that it wouldn't be practical for the 22 Hp engine it would have been good to have the option of a backup pull start.

First, I was impressed on how well the generator was packaged. This is a very heavy generator. After unboxing, I was impressed with how well built it was. It was simple to put the wheels on, add oil, connect battery and start. It is a beast. I won't be throwing it in the back of the pickup, but the lift handles makes it fairly easy to move around.

So far I'm incredibly impressed with the build quality, ease of use and power output of the WGEN14500DFC generator. We wound up being able to power far more within our house during an outage than we originally anticipated, and the ability to use propane eliminates a lot of the fuel stabilization issues I was hoping to avoid while still leaving gasoline as an emergency option. I'm very satisfied so far.

Bought this generator after experiencing TX Winter Storm without power and heat for 30+ hours. Have an electrician installed the line in and interlock switch on my panel and test drive the generator with success. Start on the 1st crank. Now we are ready if we have to go without power in the future.

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!

Bought this generator after much research on portable generators; This generator has it This portable generator has it all; it was delivered about five days ago and we set it up right away. Everything went smoothly and it started on first try with the remote. It has all that will be needed for full home back up. We will use it as we live out in the country and our electric has gone out a three times this year; twice for over a week. So we think this will be great to have; although we have not needed it yet.

Very impressive generator as far as size and features for the money. Ordered from a big box store and was packaged well and undamaged. Minimal assembly. Took a bit to get/stay running, but runs great now. Looks well built. I plugged in my freezer, fridge, pellet grill and coffee maker at the same time with no issues
