I just started my break in on same model. There's not much content on this model so I'm happy to find your video.
Hey thanks for watching. Yes, I noticed the same thing, with the lack of videos for this generator. So that's why I decided to put one up.
I have this same gen- picked it up from Amazon in March on sale for $1399. Just finished 5 hr break-in when we lost power for 2 days- running about everything while managing loads especially with water heater, stove etc. No issues with powering two 2.5 ton heat pumps. Ran like a champ 10hrs a day during the day, then I switch to batteries at night. No issues at all- overall good deal. I like the fact that the manual spells out how to switch from bonded to a floating neutral- gives you a step by step. Also- the docs that came with my showed THD at 23% vs Amazon and Westinghouse showing 5%. I reached out to Westinghouse and they said this model is 5%. Some maintenance guides and manuals showed wrong info.
Very nice, I will do a brief trial with natural gas this weekend, just to test it out.
Yea, I think Westinghouse, put this generator in the sweet spot for folks using natural gas and hooking up to their breaker panel.
Are you running your generator just on natural gas?
@gilbosdiy I run it on LPG- we don't have gas lines in our area.
So, in you run so far, what has been your usage of LPG. Do you think it matches, the specs listed by Westinghouse?
@gilbosdiy I think it's pretty good actually. No issues with home backup and pushed it at times to 7-8000. I have a 30lb and two 40lb tanks for portability. I had been using the 30lb for the 5 hr break in and kept using it during the outtage. When added altogether, that 30lb went approx 25 hours and still not completely out. Will get it refilled tomorrow. I was kind of surprised honestly but not complaining.
Thanks, that's good to know, for real world usage numbers. I totally agree, 30-40 lb tanks, I think is a great size for residential neighborhoods. For the portability when needing it filled. Whereas 100 lb tanks, weighs upwards of 170lbs (No thanks, my back says thank you).
Picked mine up from Lowes last week (had to order, took about 10 days). For the money, its a lot of generator. The 11500 watt rated output, tri-fuel and low THD for $1500.00 is hard to beat.
Thanks for watching. Yes I think it is hard to beat for the amount of nat gas wattage.
Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome. It is well deserved. Think you guys nailed it.
I think with this generator, I am glad Westinghouse, paired up the core 4 of features for a emergency use generator.
1. The physical size not being too heavy (approx 250 lbs)
2. Low THD
for your info, the THD for the generator on the Maintenance Guide is wrong!!! The guide says its a
Hey, thanks for watching. When I was researching on this generator, yeah it appears they had typos in the literature. To me
@@gilbosdiy 🙏🏻🙏🏻Thank you, thank you. So glad you put this video up. Great info to know with what features to look for.
Where did you buy it? I checked on Lowe's website because you mention it on the video but it seems it's not available in florida, where I live. I've been waiting for this model, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Westinghouse customer service said that would be available around mid July.
Thanks for watching. I bought it from Lowe's back on June 18th, went on the website. Could have had it delivered sooner, but I had too much going on. So I had it delivered yesterday.
Yea, just check the usual site(s) daily, HD, Lowe's, even check Walmart, one of those will bound to eventually have it.
Don't rely just on the email, when in stock function. I never got an email
@@gilbosdiyThanks for your response!.I like this generator cause the THD is low and under
@@w2c907 Glad you found it useful. Yes, that why, I picked this generator for the THD
I just hitted the like button and I subscribed too. Tnks
I purchased mine from generators direct they shipped it direct from Westinghouse to my house.
Will this replace your 12000/15000 WGEN
No it will not. With the new updated specs on WGEN 12000DF (aka WGEN 14500TFS), will still be my go to generator.
@@gilbosdiythanks, I’m in the process of converting my 12000DFC/15000 following your steps, only part remaining is the AB3 hose and QD.
Glad I can help.
