Review: Outstanding Power and Convenience - 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. Review: Works well - major power and great value - smooth starting - 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. ## Features - 28,000 Peak Watts and 20,000 Running Watts; Easy-Access Start Panel with Remote Start Key Fob, Push-Button Electric Start, Engine Shut Off, and Battery Charging Port; Up to 17 Hours of Run Time at 25% load on a 17 Gallon Fuel Tank with Fuel Gauge - Featuring Four GFCI 120V 5–20R Standard Household Outlets, Two 50A 120/240V 14-50R Outlets, Two 30A 120/240V L14-30R Outlets, One 30A 120V L5-30R Outlet, and ST Switch Outlet; All Outlets Have Rubber Covers for Added Safety - Powered by a Heavy Duty 999cc Westinghouse V-Twin OHV Engine With a Cast Iron Sleeve, Automatic Low Oil and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Shutdown, and Idle Control - Engineered with Low THD, So It's Safe for Sensitive Electronics.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - 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 - Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment WGen Generator Cover - Universal Fit For Portable Generators Up to 9500 Rated Watts - GenTent Generator Running Cover - Universal Kit (Standard, Black) - for Open Frame Generators --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/529230946-28000-peak-watt-home-backup-portable-generator-remote-electric-start](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/529230946-28000-peak-watt-home-backup-portable-generator-remote-electric-start) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
