I am a total novice with no real knowledge of how a generator works. As soon as I opened the box, it was evident how easy this unit was to operate. The only challenge was putting on the wheels, which really was not hard at all. This generator was a great choice.

bought it 8-29--24 going earu the break-in period now. running it off propane. it runs great so far. im doing a 1 hour break in oil change then 4 hour oil change. got it up to almost 50% load with a couple of hair dryers. using royal purple break-in oil for the break in period then switching over to amsoil signiture series 10w30 fully synthentic for regular use on emergencies with no power. Its a great generator during the break in period so far sounds good everything is awesome. time will tell how it holds up.

Received the generator on Friday, followed the simple directions to prep the unit and ran 5 hrs. break in. 2 days later we needed to put it into service and It performed fantastic. handled every load we threw at at with ease. I'm very pleased overall.

We purchased this item a few months ago & had the opportunity to use it last month. It was easy to use. We were able to have power in our home to the critical areas for a few hours until our service was turned back on. Very happy with the product!

I recently purchased this WGen11500 to provide whole-house power during outages. I did quite a bit of research on generators before making this purchase and the Westinghouse won the competition because of its flexibility and great features. First, I love the flexibility of tri-fuel. The ability to use natural gas was a big deal for me. I can literally disconnect the NG line to my patio grill and power my generator in seconds. Additionally, using NG means I never need to worry about the availability of gas or the hassle of draining or stabilizing gasoline if the generators if going to sit for months or years. Second, I thought it was great they included a trickle charger for the electric start battery. Having a fully-charged battery is key to being ready when the generator is needed. That said, there's still a pull start option if needed. At the end of the day, I'm confident the features and flexibility of this Westinghouse unit are going to ensure I have power whenever I need it.

This units covers all the needs for keeping a home going under extended blackouts. Multi fuel options, the ability to connect to a home system for backup power to keep critical items functioning, and the ability to be on the move to another location.

Living on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico a generator is a necessity as hurricanes are a constant threat. I had a 5500 watt but was limited to the load I could put on it this generator will supply all the power I will need. I considered an all house generator but couldn't justify the cost considering it could set for years without needing it. I will install a 50 amp connection to my incoming power along with an interlock breaker device to prevent back feeding the power company. A few of the features I liked are the electric start along with pull start, the battery disconnect plug, a charger/charging port for the battery.

My generator was delivered on 5/1/24. I had a natural gas (NG) hookup line installed on 5/11/24 and then an interlock and 50amp inlet to my electrical panel installed on 5/14/24. Filling the oil after receiving the shipment was very easy. Westinghouse provided answers to me in advance on using the generator in high altitude (Denver), specifically that I didn't need the high altitude kit if running on NG, but also provided instructions on floating the neutral since I was connecting with the 50amp connection. I don't have the words to express my excitement. When it roared up on Saturday for the first time on NG jumping up and down, and then when it started and ran my whole house yesterday, I was over the moon. This thing is a champ. When I say that it ran the whole house, I did refrain from flipping the breakers for the electric dryer and AC. But considering that my furnace, stove and water heater all run on NG, I have a feeling I could get those going too.

Bought this following our Bomb Cyclone in November. I have not used it yet but the machine feels like a quality product. Controls are well marked and seem easy to use. Oil port and drain are easy to access. Hoping we won't need it for a while but looking forward to trying it out. Planning on hooking to natural gas so no refueling during our 4+ day outages.

Bought this unit because of 3 factors, low THD level, tri-fuel ability and KW capacity at the lowest kw fuel choice (NG=9KW). Really a great unit, started up and ran great on NG right out of the box. I enhanced the unit with: 3/4”NG hose at my meter and piped down to 1/2” quick connect at generator quick link fitting. swapped out spark plug to a NGKBPR6E and lubed the top of the cylinder with a couple of drops of Lucus treatment prior to break in. Broke in an hour, unburdened with load then changed the oil. Ran the second hour with 4200kw load and then changed the oil again. I'm all ready for a power out situation with this beast. It measured 90 deceb at source then 70 deceb about 15' away. Dropped down to 45deceb inside my house. This is your best solution, if you can get one: THD below 5% so no harm to any electronics(central heater compute board, water heater, TVs, well pump, sewer grinder, etc). I needed at least 8500 watts to run my well pump, sewer grinder, gas heater, gas water heater, gas stove top, tvs, modem & router, LED lights while using natural gas as a fuel source - this unit does it awe don't have a lot of power outages but I'm prepping for the impending surprise power outage strike.
