    • Nice generator, working well

Worths for money and safe family from cold weather during the power outage. Easy to set up, with safety featur on, helps a lot. The remote turn on/off works pretty well and also coming with auto ignition if not able to turn on at the first time. Power is running pretty well and stable to support essential equipments inside the house. Noise level is okay, since larger power output , acceptable. Only one thing I would say the instruction is not clear from step to step, there is fault for gas and bracket for the power generator output which not list on , which need to read the user manual to find it out. Other than that it is good power generator for outage ... show more

    • Everything is self explanatory.
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
This Generator is amazing. It's very well built and started right up after I installed the oil and gas. Very easy to move around with the folding handle. For it's size the noise is bearable and not annoying. Would definitely buy again.

Review Image by jmghaven jmghaven
After losing power a few times over the years following tropical storms, nor'easters, and ice storms, I finally protected myself against losing many hundreds of dollars in food and sleeping in the cold. I hired an electrician to install a "lock-out breaker" which obviates the need for a transfer switch and the wiring of specific circuits this common approach entails. With this lock-out breaker, I can run the entire house or select specific circuits to remain powered while on the generator as it is controlled through my main circuit panel. I purchased this generator as my back-up system to connect to the house. When I received it, I spent about 90 minutes attaching the feet and wheels, adding oil and gas, and testing it on the house. Overall, I'm thrilled, so there aren't any real negatives, but here are my good and not-quite-as-good observations: Good: 1) Initial assembly is very straightforward and limited to tightening two screws to attach the feet and installing the axles and wheels. I found the axles to be a tight fit, but a little WD-40 enabled them to slide in with a gentle tap of a hammer. 2) Start-up instructions were very clear, and a container of oil was included to get the unit running quickly once I added my gas. 3) When I connected it to the house, everything worked fine. I turned on various lights, had two refrigerators running, at least three computers and a television. Power output was steady and strong. Not-quite-as-good 1) While there isn't an ear-splitting noise from the machine, it's still very noticeable inside the house with gas-insulated double windows closed and the unit placed 25' feet from the house. The noise outside is about as loud as a riding lawn mower. I imagine that after running it for hours, it may become bothersome, but it's a welcome trade-off to not having power. 2) The unit is heavy. Adding a full tank of fuel makes it heavier still. Despite this, it's still maneuverable using the retractable handle and its heavy-duty wheels. Still, make sure that you store it on ground level because you're not lifting or carrying this up or down steps. Not even with two people. The closer you can keep it to the run location, the better. 3) The placement of the 50-amp outlet - the one used to connect to the house - is placed too close to one of the wheels. This causes a little difficulty when the super heavy-duty cord is plugged in to connect to the house. It just took a little more effort and grunting to get it connected than it should have taken, but as you can see from the picture, it works. Another style of cord where the cord itself comes straight out of the plug rather than at a 90-degree angle like mine would not have this problem. All in all, I'm delighted with the unit. While I'm not looking forward to losing power any time soon, I know that should it happen, I'm well prepared to ride out the time required to restore power from the grid. ... show more

Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
This thing starts up every time and runs all day long without a hitch. I purchased this generator to power an off-grid jobsite and to have as a backup for when the power goes out at home. It’s big, it’s reliable, and it’s noisy as heck. The remote start is a very nice feature. In hindsight, I do wish I would have purchased an inverter generator. They’re quieter and safer to use when powering sensitive equipment. I haven’t noticed any issues with mine when charging batteries or powering LED lights, but these units in particular do have a pretty high THD%. When I do get around to someday purchasing an inverter generator, I’m going to give Westinghouse my first consideration. While I’m suffering from a bit of buyers remorse, I really can’t complain about the product itself. It does exactly what it is advertised to do, and it does it well. ... show more
