Is it powerful enough for a whole house?

With 14,500 running watts on gasoline it can carry a typical home's essentials, including AC, well pump and refrigerator, through a transfer switch. Whole-house coverage depends on your load; large electric heat or multiple AC units may exceed it.

How long does it run on a full tank?

Westinghouse rates up to 11 hours at half load on the 10.5-gallon gas tank. At full load expect noticeably less, and propane run time depends on the tank size you connect.

Can it run sensitive electronics?

Yes. Total harmonic distortion is under 5%, so phones, TVs and computers can plug in directly without a separate inverter.

Does it come with a transfer switch?

No. The outlets are transfer-switch ready, but the transfer switch and cord are sold separately and must be installed by a qualified electrician.

About 74 dB at normal distance, roughly like a lawn mower. Place it away from windows and neighbors, and never run it indoors or in a garage.

The generator, a key fob, never-flat wheels, handles, a battery and a tool kit for setup. Oil and fuel are not included.
