Received last week in great condition. Had it unpacked and put together in 30 minutes. Pushed the button and I was making my own electricity.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Plenty of power

This unit replaced a smaller 7500W Westinghouse generator which was gas only. Convenience of having dual fuel and low THD (cleaner power over the last unit) was the selling point. The additional power capability over the last unit. The only drawbacks are this unit is slightly louder than the 7500W and twice the weight. The WGEN12000DF has the “Smart Idle” feature the can be turned on/off via a switch on the control panel. Tested this out at no load condition, and it significantly reduces the engine RPM, in turn reducing the noise. The documentation and online photos have no mention of this added feature, which I would assume might be a newer feature for the 2021+ models.

It's a Beast

Here is the Wgen 9500 next to my Wgen 12000. Started right up. I bought the 9500 from Amazon and it was not on a pallet and was beat up where the shipper rammed a forklift through the box. The 12000 bought from Lowes was on a pallet and in pristine condition. No more dark nights for me.

WGEN12000DF REVIEW
on March 16, 2021
Posted by: Peter K
from Dallas, Tx
Overall this is a solid product with a lot of features that the competitors do not provide. There are a couple of things that Westinghouse can improve on this product. 1. Off the pallet, after installing the wheels, the wheels should be touching the ground so you can roll the generator off the pallet. This is very heavy (352lb). With the wheels not touching the ground, it took 3 adults to lift if up and move it off the pallet. 2. The dip stick is in a very awkward location. Plus, it is very hard to pull it off and good luck in trying to push it back in.
other than that, it is a great product with lots of functions.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Really nice. For the value.

Just bought the WGen12000. Seems to run great with clean power. No problem running the house on the 50A circuit wisely, including the 3/4hp well pump with no hint of engine bog. Gave it 4 stars because battery cable installation is a PITA as well a a poor design for the engine oil dipstick access.
