Superb Home Generator
By Donald B 
Texas
Purchased 11/09/2024 | 
Review Posted 12/04/2024 
I tried to buy this same generator from Amazon. They shipped via XPO. I was told after trying to track my LATE delivery that XPO had tried to contact me and failed. THAT NEVER HAPPENED!! Then, XPO said the generator was damaged in delivery. Then I had to wait 3 weeks for Amazon to refund my money. In the mean time, I found your website and tried to order the same generator. You were out of stock but said you would notify me upon new stock. You notified me a couple of weeks later and I ordered this generator. You and your shipper kept me informed and the generator arrived as you said, and so....... I am very much satisfied with EGD and their prompt and customer focused interest. As far as the generator goes It's beautiful and seems to be very well built. I had a Generac previously and the motor seized up in the middle of a hurricane power outage. It was a 15KW generator and my new 20KW Westinghouse is quieter than the Generac. I have not had to use my new Westinghouse 20KW yet but when I do need it, I have much confidence that it will meet my needs for a Whole House Generator. I'm a HAPPY customer.

Westinghouse generator 20,000 to 28,000
By Larry K 
Kansas
Purchased 10/01/2024 | 
Review Posted 10/23/2024 
I would recommend this product, was delivered as stated, I hooked it up to my house and tried it out, ran the whole house for about 30 minutes, so far I'm very impressed, my house is approximately 1800 square feet, and I'm all electric, looks like it will do what I need it to do , it is a little bigger than I thought it would be, but you can move it around by hand quite easily, it's balanced pretty good, most of the weight is on the wheels

Not What I Expected

Came with a factory installed miss in the engine, runs like a paint shaker, haven't bothered to call for warranty as of yet, I will have it diagnosed by a small engine expert then call them... very disappointing after spending all that money on it.....

Low Oil Sensor
By Jeff M 
Florida
Purchased 08/19/2024 | 
Review Posted 10/09/2024 
All in all is a good generator. The problem I had is 2 fold.
1. Generator would not stay running. Got here in time for hurricane Helene. Called the service center and still have not received a return response.
2. Finally determined it was the low oil sensor. Disconnected it and it ran fine. Getting ready to use it again for hurricane Milton.

Good Generator/Gas Hog
By North Main Tool Rental 
Texas
Purchased 06/04/2024 | 
Review Posted 07/23/2024 
We bought this generator as a backup for our business. It performs very well but be aware it is loud and drinks gas (about 8 hour run time on a 60% load). The only issue (not really) that we have experienced is that when it gets down to about 2 gallons of gas left in the tank it starts to sputter a bit.

Whole Home Generator
By James H 
Texas
Purchased 05/18/2024 | 
Review Posted 07/09/2024 
This unit has been great with Hurricane Beryl. I lose power all the time in Houston, this unit keeps me running 100%. I have 2 AC units 2.5 and 3 ton. They start and run smooth everytime on this machine. The power is clean which helps with all of my LED lights in the house. The only issue I had was with the oil level shut-off switch. It would randomly shut down the unit so I unplugged it and manually checked the oil levels until they sent me a new one. Warranty support is iffy, call wait times seem excessive. I had to call 3 times to get past the gate keeps to get a part sent to me for the oil level sensor. this thing is very heavy, not to bad to move on level ground with the extended handles. I add fuel stabilizer and keep the fuel tank 1/2 full when stored to help fuel to keep well. The 1/2 full gives me room to add fresh fuel when I have a power outage. The fuel shut off valve works well to keep fuel out of the lines while stored.

Perfect Set Up For Multi Building Emergency Backup
By Scott on the Farm 
Texas
Purchased 05/31/2024 | 
Review Posted 06/25/2024 
Tested recently running two separate (physically and electrically) buildings on our farm, and it ran both flawlessly inclusive A/C, pool pump, septic pump, and refrigerators. The dual 50 amp plugs is unique among portable generators that I have come across. Got it as more value oriented play to keep basics running in an emergency (on a farm with animals, you can't just walk away) v having to run two separate generators. Works great so far. Hopefully never really need it as intended but feeling alot more prepared now that I have it and have tested it with success. It is one heavy thing (I have equipment for that) and I did buy a very large gas caddy to keep me running at least a few days before I would need to venture out for more fuel, but again this thing was a perfect fit for my situation.

Great Features

Review Posted 06/17/2024 
After uncrating this and inspecting the generator I am impressed with the quality. Everything seems very well made and built to last. Added oil and gas and it started right up. I like the idle down feature. I also like the life bar. I didn't see that when I was looking to order it. The engine has an oil cooler which will help with longevity. With proper care it should last for years.
