Description
The Westinghouse WGen3600c has a 212cc 4-stroke OHV engine that runs on gasoline and can make 120V. It has a running power of 3,600W and a maximum power of 4,650W. The generator has a noise level of 68 dBA, which is quieter than background music. It has a simple pull-start mechanism. The WGen3600c can run for up to 14 hours on a full tank of fuel, which can hold 4 gallons (fuel consumption is approximately 0.29 GPH). Due to its high THD (23%), the WGen3600c is not a good choice for powering sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel has 4 AC outlets: a 120V 20A (5-20R) duplex outlet, a 120V 30A (L5-30R) outlet, and a 120V 30A (TT-30R) outlet.
This Westinghouse generator is ready for an RV because it has a TT-30R plug, which stands for “Travel Trailer”.Features
The generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to find out how much gas is in it.
In terms of safety, the generator can be used without worry because it has a circuit breaker for overheating and an automatic shut-off when the oil level gets too low.It also has a sensor for carbon monoxide.This sensor is meant to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the air while the generator is running.If the generator isn’t set up right and carbon monoxide levels get too high, the generator will turn off by itself.It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times.The Westinghouse WGen3600c comes with basic instructions and an owner’s manual that will help you start the generator quickly.It also comes with oil, a funnel, and a tool kit.Mobility
The Westinghouse WGen3600c is made with a typical open frame that measures L23.3 x W22.8 x H21.3 in, This gives it support and stability and lets it be raised above ground level.
The generator is built to work well outside and in rough places.Even though this device is technically portable (meaning it can be moved), it can be hard to move and use it without special tools because it weighs 106.1 pounds.Still, the generator is easy to move once it’s on the ground, thanks to its wheel kit and folding handle, which is a good way to make up for its lack of maneuverability.Product Videos

- We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
- For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
- Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.
About the Manufacturer
The Westinghouse Electric Corporation was established in 1886, and its heritage business, Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment, is situated in the US.
The Westinghouse name continues to be the brand name for many of its electrical solutions, which range throughout the scale from power plants to portable generators, despite the fact that the firm has been acquired and integrated into the American CBS.The primary product of Westinghouse’s Outdoor Power Equipment division, portable generators were previously produced by Westpro Power Systems, which Midwest Equipment acquired in 2016.Under the Westinghouse brand, lawn tools including trimmers and blowers are also offered for sale.Their entire line of items is American-designed.However, according to a number of sites, they are frequently made in China.Warranty Information
There is a warranty on the Westinghouse WGen3600c for up to 3 years.
This warranty may not cover all parts of the generator or may only cover certain parts.Check out Westinghouse’s warranty policies if you want to know more about the warranty on Westinghouse generators.You can also call their customer service line at 1-855-944-3571.
