Westinghouse 28000 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready 30A & 50A Outlets, Gas Powered, CO Sensor,Blue

November 2025 I purchased the Westinghouse 28kW Generator with Remote Start, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. This generator is an absolute powerhouse. It easily runs my entire home—including central air conditioning, appliances, and electronics—without even breaking a sweat. The remote start feature is a game changer. Being able to start the generator from inside the house during bad weather is incredibly convenient and adds a layer of comfort and safety. It fires up quickly and runs smoothly every time. Installation was straightforward, and the build quality is excellent. It feels durable, solid, and well-engineered. The noise level is surprisingly reasonable for a generator of this size, and the performance has been consistent and reliable during outages. If you’re looking for dependable whole-home backup power with modern convenience features, this generator is a fantastic investment. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants peace of mind during storms or unexpected power outages.

The product worked right away and was quickly cranking out 18000 watts for our house. I really like the electric start and the battery was full when it arrived as well. I installed to 50A inlets and connected them to the 50A outlets through a Generator cord. Works great--just make sure you get a good cord (NEMA, etc.) The unit, like most other large generators is loud, but we've been able to find a good spot for it where a some fencing blocks most of the noise from the main house. Beyond that, it IS very heavy. I can wheel it around on level ground in the grass but not up any sort of hill. I eventually used a very small winch to get it up a hill where we needed it to go. I was able to unbox it and set-it up without an other help. The best thing I like about this is the value. It lets me do whole house power, reliably, with dual fuel for less than $4000. As long as you're willing to do a little work for yourself in set-up, I think it's a great deal versus an installed whole home generator. I also like the flexibility of the dual fuel. I am planning on using propane as much as possible, but it's nice to know that I can switch to gas in an extended outage, assuming I can drive out to the gas station and/or keep enough gas around. Overall very satisfied.

Big bad ass generator This thing is big but I handled moving it with the wheels with no issue. Keep it where my older generac was under a roof and out of the weather. Where I live, you have to have a generator. I love the key remote start. I just kill the main on the pole start it up hit the indeed breaker and I'm not in the dark anymore. Great purchase.

Can’t give it five cause haven’t tried it out during a true power outage but setup was easy and it started right up after initial set up . Powered my home with no issues . It is quite load but you can’t hear it inside the house .

5/5 Stars — Powerhouse Performance and Reliability! I recently purchased the Westinghouse WGen20000c generator, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. This thing is an absolute beast when it comes to power output — easily handling my entire home’s electrical load during outages, including large appliances, HVAC, and even workshop equipment, all without a hiccup. The starting and running watts (28,000/20,000) give a lot of peace of mind, especially during storm season. The electric start makes it incredibly easy to fire up, and the remote start option is a great convenience feature that saves me from having to step outside in bad weather. I’m also impressed with how well-built and thoughtfully designed it is. The heavy-duty frame, solid wheels, and sturdy handle make it surprisingly manageable for its size. The digital display is clear and easy to read, providing all the key performance information I need at a glance. Noise levels are lower than I expected for a generator of this size, and the fuel efficiency is excellent — it runs for hours on a single tank, even under substantial load. Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the well-laid-out design and clear instructions in the manual. In short, the WGen20000c delivers professional-grade performance at a residential-friendly price. Whether you’re preparing for emergencies, powering a large job site, or just want the ultimate backup solution, this generator is worth every penny. Highly recommend Westinghouse for anyone serious about reliable, high-capacity power.

Absolutely piece of junk! Bought 1.5 years ago and needed for the first time, this past weekend. Wouldn't run for more than 2 or 3 minutes at a time. Customer Service is absolutely USELESS! Warranty only covers parts but YOU have to take it somewhere and pay the labor to figure out what's wrong with it. We're in our 60's and it's so heavy, theres absolutely no possible way for us to load it to take it anywhere. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GENERATOR AND COMPANY.

Got this to power home for future storms and hurricanes. Just as powerful as a generac but only a 1/3 of what generac cost. I had electrician install 2 50 amp inlet boxes, interlock kit and a 100 amp breaker. With two 50 amp cables to the inlet boxes this powers a 3200 sq foot home with a 6 ton ac/ heat pump, 600 foot well, two refrigerators, every appliance and fixture in our home. We did a four hour test run after set up and this generator performed flawlessly. It's heavy but easy to roll around. The alternator cover was damaged during shipping but I bent it back in shape and ordered a new one for $12.99 from Westinghouse. Amazon took 10% off the total price for my trouble. Was skeptical that it would power the whole home, not anymore. Zero buyers remorse on this purchase...I have also purchased a portable 48 gallon fuel tank and pump that our small tractor can lift on and off pickup truck. I'll fill it up when hurricane season starts and use the tank to fuel generator mowers boat cars etc etc...we went without power for 8 days after Helene. We had a 7000 watt generator but we're not happy with all the cord dragging 5 gallon cans of fuel every 8 hours...this is a much better set up, the electrician was very impressed by the quality of the generator as well. I also like the idea that its not permanently attached like a generac with a big propane tank. I can take it other places or let a friend borrow it...

The Westinghouse 20,000 watt generator was shipped promptly and received it in 3 days. Very easy to set up—add oil which was furnished, fill gasoline tank, set controls, charge the battery which was included, and start it up. Although weighing in excess of 600 pounds, with the attached handles and large wheels it was very easy to maneuver to the desired location. The handles are adjustable to two different heights for people tall or short. Starting was immediate after charging the battery. Using the remote control, I was able to start the generator from inside my home at about 60 feet with only one touch of the start button. It just as easily was shut down by the same remote. Have not wired it into my home electric circuit yet. I need an adapter to connect the 50amp outlet to my transfer switch. I am sure the 20,000 watt output will handle all the electric appliances and lights I will need on when a power outage occurs. Noise level from the twin cylinder 999cc gasoline engine is moderate. Since I have located the generator in my attached garage, the noise level of the engine won't be a problem. Upon start up, the digital gauge showed 241 volts being generated. The large 17 gallon gas tank is a plus for a long power outage which might last more than a day. Very pleased with the purchase.
