  • It’s a huge BEAST! Plenty of power for entire house.
Style: 28000 Watts - Gas Only
What a huge BEAST!! I been running 7550 watts Generac generator past few years, only issues I faced was not able run AC, Dryer what runs 220 volts. We able to cook on stove with only 2 burners. My Golly, this beast is something! Being heavy equipment mechanic, this thing not as loud as my 7550 Generac. I was able do ANYTHING in my home even 5 tons AC. The positive thing it contains breakers on each plugs., lots of plugs to run cords to my shop nearby. Moving it not bad with the solid wheels, weights 680 lbs. loaded with gas and oil. I added rack on top hold my cords and such. Starting this thing really different. Like a robot self start once button was pushed. I put synthetic oil in it instead using factory as I live in cold climate and stat any temperature. This thing runs GREAT!! I put it together was a breeze as I didn’t read the instructions, I just knew what I’m doing. I was lucky enough to own a cherry picker to get it off the pallet. I know some customers not prepare for that. Lol. I was, knew gonna be heavy. Love the frame around it. Xcel energy was so pissed I was prepared to have power when they don’t want me not having power. We people should always be prepared. I’m happy to have this BEAST!! 20k running watts is just more than I need. Those who curious, my house 3,300 square foot. ... show more

  • Great Power & Great Price
Style: 28000 Watts - Gas Only - CO Sensor
Impressive unit. Just received and all works well. Assembly was a no brainer. Extremely easy to start including with the remote start. Quieter than expected although still loud enough to scare the animals. Needed the added starting and running power. Beware, this is a heavy unit. Unpacking takes two to four people to get it off the pallet (unless you happen to have an engine lift installed). Great buy at this point. ... show more

  • Under Built, Unreliable Accident Waiting To Happen
Style: 28000 Watts - Gas Only
This generator is huge - over 500 lbs. The frame is way undersized for the weight of this thing. The first - and only - time I lifted the generator by the included lifting bar it buckled (see pic). When the bar bucked the frame flexed. I can see multiple places where the paint scraped away from bolts slipping as the frame shifted. I can only hope that didn't do damage that will shorten the lift of the unit. The wheels are also too small. They are fine for flat concrete, but forget about gravel or grass/dirt. The panel is flimsy. The 30a and 50a receptacles are really tight (which is a good thing) and when I go to insert/remove a plug I'm worried that the receptacle is going to rip off the panel. The fuel shutoff literally pops out of its holder when you turn it on if you don't hold onto it. Finally, the design of the screen on the fuel filler makes gasoline splatter all over the place when filling. I want to love this generator. The price per watt is incredible. But I feel like Westinghouse ruined it by cutting corners in the build quality. I have serious concerns about the long term reliability of the product. I don't feel safe lifting it and the wheels make it impossible to roll, so I'm left with a portable generator that I can't get where I need it without extra equipment. I would have gladly paid a few extra $100 for a more sturdy frame, bigger wheels, and a beefier panel. Update 2021-11-7: Reducing to 2 stars due to continued manufacturing issues. I went to move the generator and found one of the four nuts that holds the engine to the frame on the floor. No thread lock on a part that vibrates like crazy… Update 2022-5-1: 1 star. Generator has a parasitic draw that drains the battery and there’s no pull rope, so when the battery is dead you can’t start the generator. What good is a generator that you can’t start when the power is out? Clean it up, Westinghouse. ... show more

  • Very Reliable and Great Quality
Style: 28000 Watts - Gas Only
I bought this generator a few years ago. Living in the Houston area we do experience storms and power outages more frequently than others. Last year hurricane Beryl hit and we were without power for 6 days, but luckily this beast kept us up and running. We were able to also run our downstairs AC unit and pool pump for 6 days. I was able to keep my sanity during a very rough time. We were even able to run lines to our Nextdoor neighbors house so that they could keep the fridge going and one of them had an oxygen tank. It took a lot of gas and that was the most challenging part (finding gas) but I was successful each day and was able to keep it going. Changing oil is simple. Very impressed and pleased that I we purchased it. So worth the $$$. It also starts up so quickly every time. We just pulled it out to test it this year now that it is hurricane season and it started right up. ... show more

  • Great value
Style: 28000 Watts - Tri Fuel - CO Sensor
Product is great. Be careful, have someone help you get it off the skids. Not too loud and very powerful. Electrician will bring out on about a week to hard wire it to house. It's an all electric cabin. Power has failed twice since I moved in 7 months back. This will be a good backup. Using gasoline at this point but may get an LP tank later. Super great price compared to what's out there. Make sure to use it outside (as it produces CO, read warnings) and get an electrician for install. ... show more

  • runs our whole house
Style: 28000 Watts - Tri Fuel - CO Sensor
This thing is a beast and easy to use. You'll want help getting it off the palate when it arrives but it's very easy to put the wheels on and get it going. Comes with easy to follow instructions too. We just got it through the 5 hour break in period and we hooked it up to our 2100sqft home for a test run, and it works as expected. It runs our house like we're connected to the grid. This includes our AC. I hope I never need it, but I feel good knowing this thing has the power to run the house. 10/10 would recommend. ... show more
