Our take on the Westinghouse WGen3600 Portable Generator

The Westinghouse WGen3600 is a gasoline portable generator rated at 3,600 running watts and 4,650 peak watts, enough to run a fridge, lights, fans and a few tools or an RV's 30-amp hookup. It is not an inverter unit, so it runs at a fixed 68 dBA and puts out conventional power rather than clean sine-wave output. A 4-gallon tank gives up to 14 hours at half load, and it has a CO sensor, low-oil shutdown and overload protection. The best new price is $349 at Home Depot as of November 5, 2026, with 3 stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the WGen3600 enough to run a refrigerator and a few appliances?
Yes. Its 3,600 running watts cover a fridge, lights, fans and a TV, and the 4,650 peak watts handle motor startup. It will not run a whole house or 240-volt loads.
Can I plug an RV into it?
Yes. It has a TT-30R 30-amp RV outlet plus an L5-30R twist-lock and household receptacles, all at 120 volts.
Is it safe to run electronics on it?
Not ideal. It is not an inverter generator, so the power is not a clean sine wave; use a surge protector or a UPS for laptops and TVs.
How loud is it?
Westinghouse rates it at 68 dBA, which is loud enough to bother close neighbors. Place it well away from windows and doors.
Does it have electric start?
No. It is recoil start only, so you pull the cord to start it.
