Nice generator and Work as expected

I got it 1 month ago as a backup power source in case there is a power outage. Following instructions, it is easy to setup (just installation of wheels and feet) in ~15 min. Hooking up and connecting to our house gas line is also easy with correct adapter. Starting the machine with a simple pushing button, it works as expected. I just tried twice (each 30 min) when linking to my house electric panel with a kit, it can power my house (lights, microwave, refrigerator, etc). Happy with it. Waiting for the next power outage.

Runs everything that is needed when the powers out

We bought this item after a huge power outage left us having to toss all of the food in our two refrigerators. With the cost of food now a days we had to find a way to save that food when we went without power. This powers up the fridge and a small window unit in the hot months and enough space heaters to keep warm in the cold months. Very happy with our purchase.

An excellent generator

Ordered this Westinghouse 12500 Watt generator in Nov 2024 and I am very happy with my decision. I finally get around to install it January 19 2025. It was easy to install and the remote start key is a plus so that my wife can start it as well. It is very easy to move it around for usage and storage with big wheels. The generator can run everything in my house including 3 ton A/C, 2 refrigerators, and lights... It is such a peace of mind when we could lost power due to hurricane in summer.

Great Features, easy to use!

We've been wanting a generator for a while. Living in Texas, we obviously experience hurricanes and the struggle for the power grid to hold up if and when it ever freezes. With the antioated snow and freeze we are currently experiencing we decided to prepare and purchase a generator. We bought the Duel Fuel 12500watt and are so happy. It was easy to set up and use. Love the remote start. We had a converter switch and outlet installed and it was the best decision. We did a trial run and this little generator powered the whole house. Luckily we haven't had to use it yet but now we have peace of mind for when we actually will need it.

Easy Setup and User Friendly

I bought this when my wife was pregnant as a precaution for the coming winter. We haven't needed it for emergency use yet but better safe than sorry. The setup out of the box was super easy and the operation panel is easy, even for a generator rookie like myself. Would recommend!

Great generator

Like many I've been left without power too many times by storms and I wanted a portable generator that could run on natural gas to avoid having to search for fuel which becomes scarce quickly in emergencies. It was easy to assemble and started on the first try. I've only run it on natural gas, but don't plan to use the other fuels. The hose for connecting to natural gas is included, as well as one for propane. It's quite heavy, but much easier to move around than I expected with the included wheels and handles. It's as loud as expected - similar to other units in its size. I was impressed with how clean it runs on natural gas compared to the gasoline unit I borrowed during our last event.

Reviews plus many good features

I just moved to Florida and wanted a reliable, high watt output for running essentials plus during hurricane season. This generator had great reviews; features such as electric start (a must for wife) also remote start/stop, automatic (or manual if needed) choke, 30 and 50 amp hook ups and a built in battery test / charge plug. I put the supplied oil in and some gas in it and it started with remote on the first crank. I'm happy with what I have seen so far. Hurricane season will tell me more.

Quick easy and convenient

This generator is awesome! It was extremely easy to set up and get running. Pop on some wheels, add some oil, and hook up the battery and it is good to run! Did I mention the best part? Remote start operation! Flip the switch and you can remote start it any time! Out of the box 10 minutes to get it running! A little louder than our last generator which was smaller but honestly not to loud! It think this generator is a great bang for your buck! Will update if I find any issues down the road

Great product with great user manual included.

Easy set up with no extra tools needed. Poured in the included bottle of oil. Removed the spark plug and placed less than a teaspoon of oil in the cylinder wall and pulled it 10 times to distribute that oil. Reinstalled, spark plug. I then hooked up to a propane bottle and hit the remote start button started right up. Ran flawlessly for one hour with no power hook up. I then began to vary the wattage from 750 W to 3500 for 15 minutes and shut it down. Will continue to break in less than 50% rated wattage for five hours and then change the oil and it should be ready to go for the big load.

Everything you need for a generator

I just opened the box for the generator 1st time setup today. The manual guide is straight forward and easy to follow. It took me about 2 hours from cutting the box to getting it running on propane gas. To be honest you would need extra pair of hands when installing the legs and wheels. Other than that everything else is easy. I'm happy with the purchase of this Westinghouse WGen9500Tfc
