So far so good!

We bought this generator as a replacement for a new DuroMax Generator that failed us. This generator was easier to set up than the DuroMax. It started right up. We are ready for the next storm and will post a more thorough review after we've used it to power our home items during a power outage.

Appears to be of high quality. Haven’t used it yet. Easy assembly. Will be trying soon as the first 5 hours has to be at 50% capacity for the break in period.

Off to a great start!

Did a ton of research and landed on the WGen11500TFc as striking the right balance of capacity, flexibility (multiple fuel sources) and low THD (prevent damage to sensitive electronics).
Admittedly, I have only performed the initial 5-hour break in period, so it’s a small sample size. Time will tell if the unit is durable, but so far so good. While varying some light loads during the break-in period, the unit would barely blip, so you can definitely tell that it has huge capacity. I used propane, and it worked flawlessly. Love the fact that I have flexibility to use propane or gas (also supports natural gas).
Kudos to Westinghouse for including all of the essential hoses and hookups for natural gas and propane, along with oil and everything you need to get up and running. The most work you need to do is put the wheels and rubber feet on, add oil, and you’re pretty much ready to go. Battery charger included as well.
I have a 50 amp inlet, so this generator will give me close to full available capacity to power my house, including some of the larger power hungry appliances. The low THD was a must-have to avoid damaging my electronics, and I really appreciate that Westinghouse makes a number of portable generators that have THD, relative to other manufacturers.
I would add that the generator, while heavy, is fairly easy to move and maneuver with the large wheels and handles. Another reason I preferred this generator was the size was much more manageable vs stepping up into the next tier. I wanted something with large capacity, but didn’t want to deal with manhandling a massive portable generator.
If I had one gripe, some of the documentation included with the generator seems to be incorrect. On the included quick start/mechanical guide sheet it says the THD is 23%. I’ve seen other reviewers on Home Depot’s site comment on the THD being incorrect on the included documentation for this generator, so it seems to be a known issue. It just makes it confusing for a customer when the documentation is incorrect.

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.

Power Outage and Windstorm Necessity
on April 30, 2024

from Houston, TX
I bought this yesterday. I like that it comes with natural gas and propane hoses. I don't like that it's packaged without the feet and wheels. It's around 250 lbs, so I had to turn it over on its side to put on the feet and wheels. Once the wheels and feet are on it's easy to move around. So far so good. My first power outage will put it too the test.
