WGen12000DF Portable Electric Generator
on August 3, 2021
Posted by: Sozo
from Lafayette, LA
I bought this generator and it was delivered 6 weeks later. Just received it today, 8-3-21. The delivery Co. was very good, no apparent damages after checking carefully and the delivery Co. helped me move it into my shop. The quality of this generator is excellent! I like that this one produces adequate clean electricty at <5% THD. Its purpose is to power up some of my house lights and appliances and a submersible water well. After researching, I find the price is very reasonable. I will break-in the generator this coming weekend as the manual directs. It has a battery start (no pull rope), remote control & idle speed control when power is not required. I have a 100 gal. propane tank that will last about 2-3 continuous days before I must refill and/or I can then use 20# propane bottles or gasoline if needed for a longer period of time. It is saved in my air conditioned shop until I wheel it out for use. In my opinion, propane is the best cleanest and most trouble free fuel. When determining how many watts you need, be sure to stay at or below 80% of the rated watts and be sure to reduce the wattage rating also by 4% if used during 100F weather.

Great test run

Have not needed to use yet but the test run did great. I was able to run everything I would need in case of hurricane. Love the dual fuel option and tied into my existing propane tank.

Easy Start. Quiet, low harmonic Distortion

I bought this unit a month ago. Semi Truck delivery to my home a very pleasant and helpful driver unloaded this unit from his truck with a motorized fork lift/dolly. He delivered it into my garage. Unpacking an extremely well packaged and protected item like my generator was a bit of a challenge however the effort was well worth revealing a fabulous new Westinghouse generator in perfect condition.
I went through the stop procedures, minimal, plugged it into my home system and with a touch of a button was generating Low Sine 240 volts to power my entire house including my whole house AC. Only run on propane so far hate to put gas into it yet :=). Works great low noise level 74 Db especially compared to my replaced Honda EB 11000. Thank you Westinghouse.

Awesome, but bad 240 receptical
on July 29, 2021
Posted by: MADMAX1945

Everything about it is great. Runs all day long on the job site. However, on the first day the 240 receptical shorted and melted. Had to replace with a new female Hubble 240 receptacle. After that there has been no issue. Great work!

Runs the whole house AC included
on July 26, 2021

from Bonney lake WA
Runs my AC and the ready of the house no problem the 50 amp cord is kinda hard to plug in if it is a 90 degree connector so get one that is no more then 45 degrees because it hits the wheel at 90 degrees.
