  • Works Great, Solid Powerhouse!
Style: 12500 Watts - Tri-Fuel
I live in Southern California and as of late, with the wind and fires our power gets shut down periodically for days at a time. Finally fed up with losing food, no lights or showers for extended periods of time, I decided to do some research on generators that could run my 4,000 sf home during outages. This Westinghouse kept popping up in my search. Took the leap and purchased it (had it shipped to my Daughter in Oregon because for some unknown reason, it isn’t approved in California) even though it will run on propane and natural gas. She was coming down for Christmas so she loaded it up and brought it to us. Took me all of about 45 minutes to wire it up to back feed my panel through a 220 volt 50 amp auxiliary circuit I have in the garage for charging my wife’s car, and since my electric service is right next to my natural gas meter, I plumbed it in to hook up to the gas line. Well, it didn’t take long before the recent fires had our power shut down for several days. I fired it up and it ran flawlessly for 3 straight days and ran everything in the house including the home heating units. I did disconnect my pool sub panel and did not attempt to run pool pumps, not necessary for a couple days anyway. I tried it with propane as well and it ran just fine. No need for gasoline unless I have my natural gas cut off as well, but I have a backup 5 gallon gas can for emergency. Very impressed with the quality and ease of use and starting options. Super easy, super handy and great piece of mind. The generator comes with both natural gas and propane hoses for simple easy connections. I was out of town when the most recent power outage occurred and my wife was able to easily roll it out of the garage, make the connections and get I going. Time will tell, but I’m loving the piece of mind and uninterrupted power when we need it. Great piece of equipment. I’m a general contractor so I know how to make the electrical connections, I understand most folks should and will need to contact an electrician to set it up, but it’s simple if you watch some YouTube videos and are not afraid to do a little work.. easy DIY. job if inclined. ... show more

  • Great Tri-fuel generator for the price
Style: 12500 Watts - Tri-Fuel
Great value for the money as it is a Tri-Fuel generator and can use gasoline, propane, or natural gas which is very useful in an emergency situation where you may not be able to get one or the other. Most kits to add propane or natural gas costs $150-$300 depending on the application so having this included already in the price is great. Amazon arrived fairly early at my house with 2 guys and a big dolly to take it back to where I wanted it by my garage, they did a great job getting it delivered to me and without any damage to the box or generator. It was easy to put the wheels and feet on by myself. You definitely won't be picking this up directly off the ground with some help as it is a bit heavy but with the wheels you can easily move it around with the handle bar anywhere on level ground. Noise is good for this size generator, it isn't whisper quiet but I have lawn mowers that are louder than the generator under load. Everything you need is included, a propane regulator and hose, a natural gas line with plenty of length, 10W30 oil for break in, a remote start key fob, and a couple tools. Overall this should work great for powering my house in an emergency or if I were to need to take it somewhere to use as a portable generator. It has a 3 year warranty and the price was definitely right for what you get. Hopefully there will be no issues with it in the future. ... show more

  • Awesome Generator - powerful enough for the whole house!
Style: 12500 Watts - Tri-Fuel
This Generator is Awesome! Auto start w/ button or remote makes it easy to start. Follow the maintenance instructions and you should be good. Some other generators I have had in the past have carburetor issues so for this one I am only using gas with fuel stabilizer in it and then I am making sure that I either run it dry when I use it or turn off the fuel flow and let it run until it shuts off so that there is no gas stored in the carburetor when it is being stored. I worked on my panel and wired it up so that I can plug into the 240v outlet and then into a plug connected to a 50amp breaker in my panel so I can power the whole house, if needed, rather than run extension cords everywhere. If you do this make sure to have a generator interlock kit installed in your panel for safety. Works Great! ... show more

  • Great generator !
Style: 12500 Watts - Tri-Fuel
I just purchased the WGEN9500TFC generator, and I am very happy with my purchase. The generator came well packaged, and was very easy to unpack. It only took about 30 minutes to install the feet and wheels, and add the oil which was included. I recommend putting on the wheels first which makes it easier to install the feet. The included oil funnel made it very easy to add the oil. I attached the battery cable and used the included propane connector hose to connect to my propane tank. It started up right away. It ran perfect, and I tested it with the load that I will need it to run in case of a power outage, and it performed perfect. I chose the Model WGEN9500TFC because 2 years ago we had a power outage due to 2 different hurricanes, and my niece has a WGEN9500DFC ( Dual Fuel) generator that worked perfectly. I felt very confident purchasing this generator. I highly recommend Westinghouse generators. ... show more

  • Use 10W30 oil it comes with for the break-in period before switching to 5W30 synthetic.
Style: 12500 Watts - Tri-Fuel
First, they take the packaging and delivery very seriously. It was dropped off by two guys in a box truck who put it right in front of my garage door instead of my front door, which was great because it would have been a huge pain to move it around the house and get it into the garage considering it weighs 220 lb. It's also packaged extremely well a lot of cardboard the box was in great condition. Set up was very easy, all you have to put on is the wheels and front feet and it's pretty much fully set up. It has a very nice propane hose and natural gas hose hook up. They use a quick connect to attach to the generator which makes it extremely easy. There is a lot of information in the instructions, is pretty straightforward, but the oil was a bit frustrating. It comes with oil which is really nice, but in the instructions it says if you are in a cold climate where it will get below zero degrees, to use 5W30 synthetic. So I filled it with 5W30 synthetic, but then several Pages later after it describes how to start it up, it mentions to use the oil that comes with it for the break in period, or the piston rings may not seat properly. This should really be mentioned in the area where it is telling you which oil to use and not after it shows you how to start the generator. Anyways, starting the generator went very well. I hooked up a 22 lb propane bottle and took it outside, and with the remote start, which is a very nice touch although considering you need to physically flip a switch to turn the battery on , I'm not entirely sure why you would need a remote start? But it started right up, ran very smoothly and the only issue i'm running into is that at least on propane I was not able to move the choke to the on position without it dying even after idling for about 5 minutes. It doesn't say if I'm propane you just don't need to turn the choke on or can leave it out, so I'm going to email their customer service and see what they say about that. I have not tried it on gasoline yet but I'm planning on doing that today. I will update this review depending on what they say and if it does run fine on gasoline. ... show more

  • Super solid generator 💪🏻
Style: 12500 Watts - Tri-Fuel
I purchased the Westinghouse 12500 Peak Watt Tri-Fuel Generator for home backup, and overall I’m extremely impressed. The build quality feels solid and well-designed right out of the box, and setup was straightforward with clear instructions. One of the biggest selling points for me was the tri-fuel capability—it gives great flexibility to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas depending on the situation, which is a huge advantage during emergencies. The unit also seems thoughtfully engineered for home use, with plenty of power capacity to run major appliances without concern. I haven’t had a chance to test the remote electric start yet, but it’s a great feature to have and adds a level of convenience that not all generators offer. So far, everything about this generator gives me confidence that it will perform when I need it most. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-capacity backup generator with versatile fuel options, this is a fantastic choice. ... show more

  • Nice generator from an old well established electrical giant.
Style: 12500 Watts - Tri-Fuel
Wonderful so far, output is as advertised, quiet compared to all of my older generators, Remote start is a nice feature for camping, assembly was easy took less than 10 minutes from unboxing to running. Kinda heavy but considering the power its reasonable. All features and functions seem to be as advertised. Fingers crossed, this will be the last generator we have to purchase. ... show more

  • Impressive Features and Build Quality!
Style: 12500 Watts - Tri-Fuel
I recently purchased the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12,500 Peak Watt Generator, and while I haven't had the chance to use it yet, I’m already impressed with its features and overall build quality. Powerful Specs: With 12,500 peak watts and 9,500 running watts, this generator promises to handle any power needs, from home backup during an outage to outdoor events or job sites. The specs are impressive, and I’m confident it will perform well when I need it. Easy Start: The electric push-button start is a great feature, making it incredibly convenient to get up and running quickly. This is a huge upgrade from the traditional pull-start models I’ve used before. Solid Build: Right out of the box, I noticed how sturdy and well-made this generator feels. The design is rugged, and the wheels make it easy to move, despite its large size. It seems durable and built to withstand heavy use. Fuel Options: I appreciate the dual-fuel capability, which allows me to use either gasoline or propane, providing flexibility depending on what’s available. User-Friendly: The control panel is clear and well-labeled, which should make it easy to operate when the time comes. I also like that it has a digital hour meter, so I can keep track of usage. Although I haven’t had the opportunity to put it to the test yet, I feel confident in my purchase based on its quality, features, and the positive reputation of Westinghouse products. Looking forward to using it when the need arises! ... show more
