- 5 out of 5 stars review2/1/2025Purchase this generator about 15 days ago and I'm very very happy with the way it was packaged. All of the information regarding operation and set up were spot on. The generator started on the first try for the electric start and runs very well. I would highly recommend the purchase of this generator for the quality and cost.
Well Built
SbotttOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/25/2025Note I have not yet experienced a situation where I would be in need of this device, However, upon unpackaging and firing it up, I am very satisfied and impressed with the product's design and functionality. Along those lines, I anticipate it to prove invaluable in my next outage.
New Generator
TokashjjOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/18/2025This is a great generator. I really liked the easy set-up, which took only 10 minutes after getting the generator out of the box. The wheels were easy to attach. I like the tri-fuel feature as well. I plan to install the natural gas hook-up, but I tested it with gasoline right out of the box. Very happy with this purchase.
Easy set-up and easy start
UpstateSC123Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/4/2025We've had an on-demand propane generator where we used to live, but thought that expenses wasn't needed in our new house. We still wanted to have a plan if we had a bad storm that knocked out the power for an extended period of time. We haven't needed to use it yet, but when I tested it, it started with the natural gas hookup on the second push of the started button - probably just need the time to get the gas into the system.
Started the first try
Greg20Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/7/2025I bought this generator to make sure I have something that runs on natural gas for my next power outage. I hooked it up and runs pretty nice. I like that it runs steady with no vibrations. I will update this review after I use it on my next power outage.
So far so good
DN2025Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/13/2025Purchased in November 2024 because we have frequent power outages where we live and liked the fact that this generator was dual fuel powered. We have used it twice in the past 2 months on propane and it worked great. I was able to make coffee and cook during these power outages which I have not been able to do previously. We liked the propane because it is more stable but also like the fact that we can use gasoline also.
Purchased for frequent power outages
Homesteader58Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/6/2025I love the versatility of this product. The tri-fuel design is awesome, offering the convenience of natural gas, the economy of gasoline fuel, or the compromise of propane. I personally prefer the convenience and availability I get with use of natural gas. I don't have to worry that much about fuel availability in emergency situations! Plus, there's no gasoline cans or propane fuel tanks to haul around. I love that! Since my home is heated with natural gas and our ovens cook with natural gas, we practically have a whole-house generator! I highly recommend this product.
Great features, Easy to Handle!

Built Like a Tank!
IdahoFamilyOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/27/2025Ordered generator on Saturday and received Tuesday in good condition. Read the excellent manual and quick setup guide. Put in oil and gas then charged battery a bit. Turned on gas valve and start switch. Pressed starter button and started generator. Light was flashing on start button then I pressed start button on fop and switch light turned green to reflect pairing. I ran the generator for 5 minutes and checked output. This is a great generator. I didn't have to mess with the choke to start it using the fop or start button. Later I plan to connect to natural gas for fuel. Also it fits in the cabinet I purchased for my 4.4kw generator. A bonus there because it connects to my transfer switch, grounding, and solar panel for ba...
Wgen9500TFc review
EdWVOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/10/2025This generator was purchased to support the construction of my new house while awaiting Duke Power to deliver power to the site. The generator provided all of the power that my subcontractors required and never skipped a beat. Excellent product! It is now in place as a back-up power supply for future power outages.
Great temporary Power Supply
NCGlenOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/7/2025In an unexpected power outage, we were able to purchase the Westinghouse 9500c generator. It ran strong for 8 days and powered everything we needed in the house. We were careful not to run too much electric at once, but we were impressed none-the-less. It really saved us, as the temperatures were quite cold. Also impressive is the manual! It provides very specific details in a very easy to read and understand format. The instructions made setup, use, and an oil change a breeze!! The unexpected bonus for us was the remote start/stop fob. We didn't realize how nice this made things; saving us from going out into the cold to push a button. Our only complaint is the noise. It is loud, and 8 days of it was uncomfortable. Howev...
Runs Strong, Great Manual
SAFarmOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/25/2025Just received the WGen9500TFc as a backup generator for my home. The setup was very simple. Engine startup on propane was without issue. Noise level is not bad. I just ordered the high-altitude carb kit. However, the generator seems to run fine on propane at 7000 ft.
Easy setup, runs great.
doobinnmOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/18/2025Everything on this generator was easy to set up. All parts and instruction were clear and detailed. Minimal assembly required. Battery was fully charged and it started right away. Experienced no fluctuation in power when running lights and power tools. Great product.
WGen9500c review
Chris421Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review3/3/2025Excellently received in box on a crate, opened and all parts present. Followed simple instructions for assembly and first time run operation. Everything worked as it should and is now stored nicely in my garage awaiting its first real call to action.
WGen9500c
notamechanicOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/21/2025With the uncertainty of the power grid these days its a must have. Easy operation. Runs on natural gas, propane and regular gas. Powers the entire house and all utilities. To run the air, simply shut down the house breakers and run the air till comfortable and simply switch back to the main house breakers when done. Nice wheels and handle for easy moving around to storage. Starts with a push of a button or the remote. Don't be caught with your power out ever again 😁
Powerhouse
SmokinJoe KellyOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/20/2025This generator was very easy to assemble and started up on the first try. The unit is also very simple to use and operate. I haven't tried the natural gas hookup yet but only plan to use that option for extended power outages. The generator is quite heavy but easily manageable with two people.
Excellent back up generator for the home!
shunter007Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/22/2025I bought this a few weeks ago and am still going through the break in process (no power outages yet!). It was easy to assemble (wheels and legs) and get started. While breaking it in I have powered some appliances and small power tools with no issues. Our plan is to connect it to our gas supply and install a transfer switch. I am almost looking forward to a power outage. The electric start makes it easy to start for two senior citizens. I would recommend it heartily to anyone.
Good features, easy to use
ELawsonOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/2/2025Knew I wanted a Westinghouse as I have owned a smaller inverter unit and loved it. Went to 3 different stores to find it and have no regrets. This thing works perfect and has all the outlets I need for my purposes (work and home use). Also really appreciate the remote start feature.
Excellent unit! All the bells and whistles!
Christ is King!Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/26/2025I've been using my Westinghouse generator for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with the performance. It's incredibly reliable, easy to start, and surprisingly quiet for a generator of its size. Whether it's for powering essential appliances during outages or running tools on a job site, it handles everything with ease.
Westinghouse Review
CamazingOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/18/2025Recent storms in our area have made owning a generator a necessity not a luxury. The tri-fuel generator lets you select the fuel you want to use….Natural gas & propane…. if you are deep in the woods there is the gasoline option. The 12500 Peak Watts is enough to power all your garage power tools , RV trailer & a quantity of household appliances to live comfortably in power outages.Easy to setup out of the box….less the 15mins…would completely recommend the Westinghouse Tri-Fuel 12500W Generator.
Portable Powerhouse
