Big enough to power my house
on October 30, 2024

I bought this after hurricane Helene to replace a 20+ year old Coleman 6250. I wanted one big enough to run my whole house, well and central air conditioner so I wouldn’t have to switch stuff on and off which is fine for a dot or two but when you’re without power for weeks that gets old quickly. Hope this one last like my Coleman has and it’s nice that this Westinghouse has a 3 year warranty.

I just received this generator. It looks great! Gave it a test run on propane just to check it out. Voltage and frequency are spot on. Plugged in my shop air compressor to give it some load but that’s nothing for this beast.
Looking forward to getting the break-in period out of the way so I can put a real load on it. I intend to use it for my whole house backup generator.

This is my second Westinghouse generator. They never fail to impress. Easy to set up, easy start, and reliable.

Monster size, all the accessories are included

Still need to hook up our natural gas connection, this unit replaces a gas only 9500 which performed well for our whole house including AC, but it bogged a little when the AC would kick in, so I went with this unit since it has more surge capacity. I will say the engineer that thought the battery with a nut/bolt terminal was a good idea should rethink that. Big hands trying to hold that nut and put the bolt on led to more time chasing the loose bolt than actually putting the entire thing together. Not that I'm looking forward to another outage, but we will be more than ready, maybe the wife will be able to wash clothes during the outage too!

Great generator

Live on the gulf coast and am glad I have a generator to keep the house up and running during hurricane season if needed.
It's way too hot down her to be with power and AC for too long. Love the fact that we can use our natural gas line and don't have to go hunting for gasoline.

Enough power for the whole house
on November 1, 2024

I live in Southeast Texas so dealing with hurricanes is something that folks around here just learn to do. I’ve had a 5500 watt generator for years, that worked just fine in a pinch to run fridges and freezers, a few lights and a window unit, but with that came extension cords ran throughout the house and only one room that was comfortable. After the derecho winds that hit us this year and then Hurricane Beryl, each causing power outages that lasted a week, I was fed up with dragging extension cords and having to choose what was going to be powered and what wasn’t. I really wanted the 20 kw tri-fuel but since they are still not available, I opted for the 14.5 kw Westinghouse. Ordered it in September and got the good news last week that it was being shipped, got it this morning, 11/1/24, put the tires on, added oil, hooked up the natural gas hose and let her rip. Ran it in for about an hour with no load. I had previously wired in two breakers (50 and 30 amp) to feed the breaker panel. Shut off the incoming power from the lines and connected the cords. Had also previously installed a soft starter on my 5 ton HVAC unit. That piece alone dropped my LRA on the compressor from 107 amps to about 29 amps during startup. Normal running amps is around 7. Anyway, I was able to power the entire house including AC and pool pump. The only item I didn’t try was the electric dryer. Worse case, I’ll just make sure the pool pump is off before running the dryer. All-in-all, very pleased with my purchase. With my luck, I’ll never lose power again but am ready if I do. Hope this review helps.
