The Westinghouse WGen14500 Gasoline Portable Generator (Model 12001) delivers high-capacity standby electrical power engineered for heavy-duty residential backup and jobsite applications. Designed to comfortably sustain whole-property loads during critical grid failures, this high-performance system operates on gasoline to generate up to 18,000 peak watts and 14,500 running watts.
Powered by a robust 713cc Westinghouse OHV V-Twin engine built with a durable cast iron sleeve, the unit utilizes 100% copper windings for premium conductance reliability. It integrates a convenient remote start key fob with an electric push-button mechanism, features Smart Idle efficiency control at a low 74 dBA, and maintains less than 5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for exceptionally clean power delivery.
