Re 12000DF. Logic doesn’t seem to be a strong suit at Westinghouse. They require altitude adjustment above 2000’ to gas regulator but fail to provide settings to accomplish this.
Also, as a whole house 24/7/365 generator, surprising the “battery switch” must remain on. However this drains the battery! Why deliver a remote start fob if you must go out to the machine to start it? A workaround is to wire in a 110v outlet near the generator to trickle charge the battery with the included 12v charger. Added expense. ☹️
On the brighter side, the unit ran my well pump, fridge, freezer, elec. dryer, microwave, misc lights and tv. It browned out when I added the toaster. Pretty good.
Also, upper end operating temperature is sorely limited to 105 degrees. This is too low. If ambient temp is 100 and the generator is in a well ventilated shed, it might shut off when it is needed. California people pay heed, as this may not be the right unit for you, hot winds and blackouts.
Other than running tests, I have not had to use the generator yet under a power outage.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this unit to use as a whole house backup generator, and it works perfectly. My house is all electric, except for my heater (Propane), and it powers the entire house including the water heater and the central HAVAC system with no issues. It is easy to move and store, even though it is large and heavy, as the wheels and handles are well placed to balance out the load for easy movement. I bought it primarily for the low THD ratings, and it seems to stay on frequency very well, and runs perfectly on propane or gas. It is a very nice unit.

Bought this generator to power the house. Having two means of fuel is great. Much quieter than my smaller generator. Like that it has a replaceble oil filter. Although this unit is heavy. I was surprised how easy it is to move around. Well built and quality components. Shipping container was robust, comes on custom pallet - no concerns about damage in transit. Overall, I am pleased with this generator.

Great bang for your buck

I needed a generator powerful enough to power my well pump, water heater, and to heat the first floor when there is a power outage. This suits my needs perfectly. Being able to run on propane is a huge plus as well because I do not have a natural gas hook up from the city.
