Works well, but a minor gripe.

Bought this at the beginning of summer in order to ready for what has become annual multiple Public Safety Power Shutoffs. They last two to three days. We have also experienced one or two multi-day outages during each snow season here in the Sierra Foothills. We bought the generator from a local vendor and they delivered it all set up and ready to go. Had to have an electrician install a transfer box. We not only need the power to run our appliances and lights, but our well water is dependent on electrical power, as is our septic system. It works great!! We chose propane so we wouldn't have to wait in long, long lines that appear at the gas station every time their is a large power outage. One complaint: It is very difficult to drain the oil in order to change it. On my first try I made a mess on the floor next to the machine. I'm trying to jury-rig something to catch the oil and move it safely to a storage container. Westinghouse should either rethink the design so there is room to get it out safely, or provide some kind of adapter to get the oil past the obstructions.

Just picked up the generator today. There is some assembly required but not bad at all. Instructions were easy to follow. Filled it up with oil and gas and it fired right up! Love the remote control feature!

I just received, unpacked and set up my 12,000 DF. Started right up with propane, all is well. Time will tell about ease-of-use, reliability and will post again after I’ve had a chance to run it more.

Great quality generator

Upgraded our older Westinghouse generator to this one. This has enough power to run most essential circuits in our house plus a few more. It's more expensive than other brands but I trust Westinghouse and it was one of the only ones that had less than 5% THD so we don't fry our household appliances anymore. Overall very happy and should last for years to come

Checked the boxes

Wanted a large portable dual fuel generator with a low THD and this fit the bill. The online specifications on seller websites are not consistent or very clear but this does have pressurized oil system with a filter (and oil cooler which was not mentioned anywhere!) which should extend the service life of the unit.

WGen12000DF: Has features not in description
on November 6, 2020

I bought this generator for home use when the power goes out. I replaced an extended life generator from another brand that finally died during the power outage we just had here in AL. I shopped for several days to find an extended life dual fuel generator with a pressurized oil lubrication system and filter. I could not locate one and finally decided to purchase this generator for its features, less than 5% THD, and run time. Nowhere in the description for this generator, nor in any of the photos, does it indicate that this generator has pressurized oil lubrication. When it arrived yesterday we were amazed and absolutely thrilled that it has this feature. If this is emphasized in the advertisements and description Westinghouse would probably sell a lot more of these generators. We prepped it and then started it inside a metal storage building. Yes we know that we should have been outside. We were surprised and impressed that it was so quiet that we could actually talk to each other beside the generator in a metal building. We were impressed that the muffler was so large. Really happy with our purchase.
