Purchased this to ensure I had power to my critical items during power outages. I tested this by connecting the 240v plug to my main panel. This was able to run my well pump and heat (natural gas) with no problem. I also confirmed it was able to run my AC but did not test it while running other items. I only tested this running on propane but running on gas will provide a little extra power if needed. This is perfect to ensure you have the basics in the event of an outage. Great price and quality. Overall I feel the noise is not bad.

This is a great generator and is perfect for us. The electric start is so convenient so my wife can start it if I'm not around. It has plenty of power to run the things we need in our house in times of power outages. The only problem I've had is the remote was not packaged with the generator as it should've been

Purchased recently for our Southwest Florida home... We wanted "piece of mind" and also wanted a quality product that could service our 2900 sqft home with a 4 ton AC. We had a transfer switch and 50 Amp service outlet added. Product arrive on time and in perfect condition. Setup was a snap. We are super happy

Just picked up my Westinghouse 11,500 today ,, the wheels and pegs mounted within 15 minutes.. Ftlled with oil top it off with fresh fuel and stabilizer,,, push star button started on the third try sounded A little clankie for about 5 minutes sound subsided ran for about 40 minutes shut off and I've started three more times …still need to Break in and have not put on the load yet but now I'm putting it up ready for any event so far so good that will recommend at this point.

I purchased this generator after a lot of research. This generator provided the best mix of quality features, accessories, reasonable price, and good reviews. It was easy to set up and get running. It was quieter than I expected and once I completed the break-in procedure it is producing power with less than 5% THD. I am very happy with this purchase.

Bought a few days ago and hooked up to existing natural gas connection after buying a few needed fittings. Started on first attempt with no adjustments required. Ran about one hour under small load. Unit seems to be solidly built with many nice features. Very satisfied to date. Will complete break-in period and have electrician upgrade my breaker panel and install proper wiring and interlock switch. Looking forward to having this beast power my entire house.

Having owned both a Coleman and a Briggs and Stratton generator, I was profoundly pleased with the arrival of this generator. The attention to detail in the packaging set the tone for the assembly and running of my new generator. The assembly was easy and the instructions were simple and good. So far, everything works as advertised. This week, the electrician installs the 50 amp inlet for whole house application. I have no doubt that it will work fine.

I chose this brand and model to be able to power my home when we lose power. I wanted something that I could also use for a travel trailer. Initial setup was very simple and took very little time. It shipped with a bottle of oil in the exact tank capacity. Once the oil was in and I poured in some gas it started right up. Very quiet while it was running. The remote fob was easy to setup and controlled the start and stop easily. The unit is very easy to roll around with the large no flat and wide tires.

One of the recommended accessories offered at Lowes when I ordered my new generator was the transfer switch (picture attached). It wasn't until I had an electrician come out to install the switch that I was informed that it had to be installed INSIDE (the electrician pointed that fact out to me in the Transfer Switch instruction / installation manual. My breaker box is located outside, and my generator must be outside during operation, so I don't understand why they sell a Transfer Switch that must be installed inside. Makes no sense to me. I have not been able to operate the generator yet, due to the above issue. I will need to use a Generator Interlock Device instead of this Transfer Switch. I wish they would have made it clear that this must be installed inside. Oh well, live & learn

I just brought it home and set it up, but I'm waiting to have my transfer switch installed before I can see how well it powers my home. Initial quality impressions are very good. I bought it because it was way cheaper than a built-in whole home generator or a large inverter generator, and still offered a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 5%.
