Bought this to power my whole house during power outages. It is very well made and has ample power to run everything. I'm able to run my AC, both refrigerators, all the lights, fans, desktop computer, etc. Ive even cooked food in the microwave. I will never run heating elements though (ovens, hairdryers, etc). Everything is connected to a inlet box that leads to a 50amp breaker. All DIY, its really not that hard. Just be careful. This generator gives me a lot of peace of mind. Its loud but not THAT loud. I can BARELY hear it when I'm inside my house - so there'd be no issue sleeping at night with it running. Large gas tank too.

Used this generator for the first time during a power outage, and I wish I had bought one sooner. It kept our refrigerator, freezer, lights, and internet running without any issues. Setup was easier than I expected, and having reliable backup power made the outage much less stressful, especially with kids. Definitely recommend.

Last 2 homes, we installed a 20kW whole home only to have less than a day of actual outages. So we went "portable" this time and saved a ton of money. In a few short months we have 16 hours of outage coverage and it has worked great. Super easy to connect up, starts every time, handles the air, and super clean power. UPS's protecting electronics have no complaints.

I just purchased this generator and am very excited to get it all set up. This is just what we needed to prevent against power outages. I have had an electrician run the electric into our electrical panel and all I have to do now is get it set up for use. The instructions are very straight forward and easy to understand. The Tri fuel feature gives me plenty of options for keeping this running.

Very happy with my purchase so far. I bought it to replace a Guardian Ultra Source 17500 KW I was worried this wouldn't be larger enough to run my central unit this thing didn't miss a beat. I did installed a soft starter so this will be able to run my entire home.

Removed the generator from the box, filled with the included oil, hooked up to propane tank and did the complete break-in procedure as instructed in the manual, had ZERO problems with it! We had a 50 amp connection installed by a certified electrician and none to soon. We had some bad storms that knocked out our power for over 10 hours but not at our house, generator fired right up on propane and worked flawlessly the entire outage - Highly recommend this generator!

Seems to be a good generator. I have only run it on propane to break it in. Changed oil after 2 hours and again after 5 hours. It ran 3 space heaters off and on during break in and then at the end of 5 hours it ran all 3 space heaters and the air conditioner on my RV. Happy with my choice. Putting away now to wait for next power outage. It is loud & heavy, but, given the size, I knew to expect that. Did not give it 5 stars because of deceptive advertising. The "What's Included" photo clearly shows quick connects on both the LPG hose and the generator fuel inlet and that is what I expected. I submitted a question about it and the reply was that 'quick connect' is not included. I don't like being cheated by big business, but this is the generator I had decided on and will keep it. I'll add quick connects at my own expense. I tried to include photos showing the quick connects but the 'add images' feature seems to be disabled here.

Just got this generator it came mostly assembled and the rest was easy to set up. Ran it on a bbq LP tank and ran some tools around the shop to test it out. Lots of nice features like electric start and hour meter to keep track of oil changes. So far very happy.

My new WGEN11500TFC (upgraded from the DFC I ordered - nice surprise) has plenty of power on gasoline running my entire house via the 50amp outlet wired direct to the main panel (with 15' of 6 AWG wire). Runs my R-22 2.5 ton A/C (no soft start), electric water heater, well pump and pressure booster pump, two freezers and a refrigerator, plus lights and other misc items. I won't run the electric water heater when the A/C is on to keep the load down, but it's nice to know the WGen11500TFC can handle it if needed. I did shut off the biggest loads before starting the A/C as the inrush current on the A/C is right at 60-62 amps, but once the A/C is running, I can add in the other loads and everything runs fine until the A/C cycles off. As long as I'm not drawing more than 8 amps or so, the A/C will start again with no issues, which honestly surprises me. I think the capacity of the WGEN is probably a little under stated. I may still install a soft start on the A/C but so far, it hasn't been necessary. Even with the A/C running and both freezers, refrigerator, lights, TV, etc., I'm only at about 5000 watts, which is still less than 1/2 the rated capacity of the WGEN11500TFC, so plenty of headroom left for the well pump and other random things, but I do try to keep total draw to a minimum. It's loud, but not as loud as my 22 year old Troy Built 7500/13000 Briggs unit. I'm out in the country so noise isn't really an issue anyway. From 23' away at half load, I am getting right at 75db, which is pretty close to the Westinghouse factory claim. Can't speak to longevity yet but we do have random power outages and even lost power for a few days a couple years ago so I'm hoping to get many years of sporadic use out of the WGEN11500TFC. I did a bit of overkill on the break in, changing the conventional 10W30 oil four times during the first five hours under varying loads up to half load, and had very minimal to no sparkles in the oil after the second oil change. It's now fully broken in, last two oil changes were completely clear, and I'm now running 5W30 full synthetic. Time will tell but so far so good! No regrets.

We bought this last month to replace a smaller gas powered generator. Being that Houston storms can make getting gas difficult, we wanted one with more options, and the fact that we can hook it right up to our own natural gas is very appealing. We love the electric start because I couldn't start the pull start generator by myself, but have no trouble with this one. It started up beautifully with the push of the button and again using the remote key fob! We're also thrilled that we can power up everything we need in the house. This unit is perfect for us!
