Outstanding Generator

Just finished the 5 hour break-in period and this thing ran my whole house like a beast. Had a transfer switch installed and can now run my HVAC, heat pump, refrigerator, living room, and 3 bedrooms. I asked the family to use their normal items while it ran and no hiccups or blown breakers. I never look forward to our power being out but at least now I know we can carry on if we need to.

Easy and works great

Bought this for my house, so far so good! We had a generator line installed and in the initial few runs has been great! Power hasn't formally gone out yet to give her a serious test run, but my first impressions were easy to use, follow instructions, and very user friendly.

Wgen10500TFc

Received the unit in good shape, easy to assemble. Only issue is wheels seem misaligned (leaning inwards on the top). Feel like this is the weak link of the unit. There is also a red button on the backside of the control panel that is not listed in user manual at all. The unit fired up on the second start. Haven't had to actually use the unit yet, but hopefully it is reliable. Seems promising.

Works Great so far

I purchased this generator a month ago. It looks good and assembly of wheels and feet was straightforward. It tested well when plumber and electrician installed connections to our electric panel. Had to press the start button several times for it to turn over but eventually it did and seems to work well. The real test will be when I need it in a power outage; However, I'm optimistic that this model we'll have us covered.

Initial use

I had my unit professionally set up last week. VERY disappointed to find the Natural gas hose had a pin hole in it and leaks gas!!!! I am also very surprised it takes up to two dozen attempts to start it using the electric start button. Are there production problems and/ or quality control issues at Westinghouse? VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT !!!!!!!!!!

The WGen11500TFC is a monster...

After Hurricane Beryl hit Houston on July 8 some 2.2 million homes and businesses was without electricity. I personally was w/o electricity for 11days though it took others over a month to get power. OK, I'd had enough playing chicken with hurricane season. So, after weeks of research I decided to purchase the WGen11599TFC. I upgraded my electrical panel, installed a interlock kit, and a 50A inlet box, I fired that beast-up allowed it the to run for approximately 30 minutes, and then connected to my 2100 sq. ft. house. I slowly turned on every light, TV, appliance (refrigerator, washer/dryer, microwave, etc.) and then I decided to go for the gusto and run my 5-ton A/C. To my amazement it ran my entire house with extra juice in reserve. My days w/o electricity in Houston is over and done!

WORKED WELL DURING RECENT STORM IN NORTH CAROLINA

This generator now has 5 hours of operating time during a recent storm which brought down many trees. I have installed a magnetic oil dipstick and oil drain plug especially to collect the fine particles generated during the break-in period. This generator is being used to power essential loads in a single wide mobile home. It is heavy, but that is not a negative since the unit appears to be well built.

Quieter and more efficient than expected

I bought this unit a month ago after doing a lot of research on tri-fuel portable generators. I already had a tap put on my gas meter and my 50 amp connection to my house panel from my previous smaller tri-fuel unit. The generator I had before was 6900 peak and 5500 running watts on natural gas. It could comfortably run most of my 2100 sqft house including a could window AC units and portable AC units but we were certainly at it's maximum capacity with so much running. The biggest problem was that our new 4 ton central AC couldn't run since it would trip the breaker on the generator when it would try to kick on. This Westinghouse unit is able to start the big AC system even when the rest of my electric panel is on and the freezers and everything are running. It can run every part of my house as far as I know. I haven't tried running the dryer, stove, and AC at the same time so I can't verify that for sure. I bought this unit after comparing multiple in the same size range and this was by far the best value for size of any of them. There's another brand that has a 15k unit almost identical but the natural gas side isn't much bigger at all than this one. Also that brand needs a 3/4 inch gas line and this one runs on a 1/2 inch line. There's so many things that I already knew were better on this unit (THD is so much lower than other brands and not much higher than what's considered inverter levels, more efficient based on fuel usage per load ratings on each manufacturer website, cost, ability to remote start it, and more). I was not aware that the unit would be not much louder than my smaller previous unit. Don't get me wrong, is certainly not inverter level on noise but it's also not nearly as loud as I would expect. I can't wait to build a ventilated generator house for it and sound proof it even more.

Backup for our new home!

Bought it for “just-in-case” we lost power! Hauled it 85 miles to the new home and about 2 hours after arriving, no power! Hooked it up to a 5 gallon propane tank and it ran for some 2 3/4 hours. Got dinner fixed and still no power!! I have CPAP MACHINE so time to go to bed, switched to gas mode and ran until 1:30 am when power was restored! I'm so impressed with the ease of use the multiple power options!

Does what I need

I bought this a month ago and it was easy to follow the quick setup instructions to get it running. I connected mine directly to the natural gas meter and tested it upon arrival. Everything appeared to be working as intended. I purchased this to provide backup power to my home during extended outages as I live in a Hurricane prone area. This generator has the capacity to power most of my home equipment, including one of the HVAC units, which will keep us cool during the hot summer days/nights.
