Manufacturer Review
WL12000HE
By Josie
Winco Marketing
Review Posted 02/18/2015
Unleash the power with a ‘Big Dog’. The WL12000HE features a commercial grade Honda GX630 OHV engine. The large 15 gallon fuel tank will run 9 hours on full load, saving you time and money. Other features include 100% copper windings, less than 5% harmonic distortion, 425 Volt heavy duty capacitors, heavy duty 1 ¼ “ 13 gauge tubular steel cradle, electric start, and lifting eye. The WL12000HE is EPA and CARB approved. Add on an optional 4-wheel dolly kit to get big power where you need it most.

Good But Not Perfect!- Easy Fixes.
By Matt V.
Cornelius, Oregon
Purchased 09/24/2020 |
Review Posted 10/06/2020
The generator seems to be very well constructed. A few minor complaints- The instructions for the 4-wheel dolly kit are near useless. Unidentified and incorrectly identified parts list in addition to misspelled words. I strongly suggest Winco redo the instructions.
2nd complaint is more about safety. The location of the fuel shutoff/pet cock valve is under the tank in a hard to find location. After locating it, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL not to fry your arm or hand on the exhaust manifold when trying to run the gas out of the fuel line and carb. You literally need to reach past the exhaust manifold to reach the valve. Good quality valve- terrible location!
BIG DOG is louder than expected. Not my top priority for power outages, but more of a noted unexpected loudness from a Honda engine.

We appreciate your feedback! We will look at the 4-wheel dolly kit instructions and correct what needs to be fixed. As for the fuel shut off valve, we will have our engineering team look into it. Thank you.

Best Jobsite Generator On The Market!

Review Posted 12/09/2017
After being in the construction equipment rental industry for 22 years I can honestly say that Winco's generators (including the WL12000HE) stand up to the test. They are as durable as they come and can handle most of the abuse thrown at them. This generator is heavy so don't expect 1 and sometimes even 2 people to get it around easily. GX series Honda engines are always my first choice in engines when looking for gasoline powered equipment. Secondly it has easy access to components for repairs and maintenance.

After the initial shock of how big this machine is....wore off....we got started with the installation of the wheel kit. The process of installing the wheel kit allowed for us to get up close and personal with the generator. Everything looks really well laid out. The components seem to be of very high quality. And the Honda engine.....Well....it doesn't get much better than that.
We purchased this specific generator on advice from a friend who has been a master electrician for many years. We are confident that this generator will serve us, as a back up source of power, for many, many years to come.

Thanks Wayne for taking time to write a review! There's a good reason we call this a Big Dog! We do pride ourselves on building generators that last and only use quality components. Sorry they were on backorder, we definitely did not expect two major hurricanes to arrive last year - we are still playing catch up! Thank you for your patience and we are glad you are satisfied with your purchase!

Review Posted 09/29/2017
This is a beautifully made machine: all quality components and made in Minnesota. It's heavy but has a convenient top pickup point. The Honda 630 engine is loud in my opinion, but you don't get rock solid power without noise. This is a big old beast of a generator that flat does the job.
