Westinghouse WHXC8500E Portable Generator 8.5kVA

Westinghouse generators have a solid reputation for reliability, and the WHXC8500E is built to back that up. It runs a 420cc 4-stroke OHV petrol engine with a copper alternator, which holds up better under sustained load than cheaper alternatives. It's Australian EPA compliant, comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, and has a VFT digital display so you can keep an eye on voltage and frequency. For worksites and home backup, it's a serious piece of kit.

With 6,750 running watts and 8,500 starting watts, this generator handles a solid load - fridges, power tools, water pumps, air compressors, and household appliances without breaking a sweat. It's suited to demanding worksites and home backup situations where you need reliable power for multiple things at once.

You'll get around 13.1 hours of runtime from the 25-litre tank at 50% load. Running heavier loads will obviously burn through fuel faster, but for a full day on the tools or overnight home backup, one tank gets the job done.

It's a big generator, so Westinghouse has fitted it with a steel roll frame, integrated wheels, and fold-down handles. You can wheel it around a worksite or campsite without needing a second set of hands. Check the product listing for the exact weight before loading it into the ute.

It comes with 2 x 240V AC outlets for your standard tools and appliances, plus a 12V DC port for charging batteries or running 12V accessories. The VFT digital display lets you monitor voltage, frequency, and runtime so you're never caught off guard.

It comes with a 2-year domestic manufacturer warranty from Westinghouse Generators. We also offer a 30-day returns guarantee here at True Gear, and we ship Australia-wide. If you've got a warranty issue down the track, Westinghouse's customer service team handles that directly.
