I purchased the WGenerator for electrical security in the event I lose power. It's large enough to power my whole house. I got the tri-fuel, so no matter what I should have fuel readily available. I've had stand by generators since 2017 and have only had to use it once. At that time I didn't have one large enough to run my heat and cooling, which was a bummer. So after that I got a larger one. It was also a WGenerator, but I lost it in a shop fire in 2023. Therefore, I purchased a new one and went with the tri-fuel. I have not lost electricity for long periods of time often enough to justify the high cost of a whole home power unit such as Generx. To me this is a very cost effective way to have stand by electrical power. With a plug installed at my breaker box, all I have to do is plug it in, start it up, and engage the power.
Have only had this thing a year and a half. The push start doesn’t work and when starting it manually it runs for about 15 seconds and then dies. Have only used it once other than monthly maintenance runs
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I just got this Westinghouse generator. It has all the bells and whistles.! I research for about a month and this is by far the best one for the money!
Bought this almost a year. Had a smaller one liked it so much got a larger unit. User friendly,quiet running easy to start. Would definitely buy another Westinghouse generator
