This is for my hurricane prep. There is a 5hour break in period - which is a bit extreme. Make sure you have two people to set up, it is a beast and very heavy. Decent sound for an open frame - however I havent had it under load yet. All in All - could be 5 stars - but unaware of actual performance as of yet.

Works well but not as minimal hands on as I would’ve liked. Bought it so I could remote start the unit without having to go outside and switch on the power and turn on the gas supply- but if you leave everything in the remote start ready setting - the battery runs down in about three weeks - so I have to leave the trickle charger plugged in. I’m also running on the natural gas source but it doesn’t like to start unless you put it on the LP gas switch setting. Overall, it’s a solid product and it will do the job with some one off customizations.

My bought this to pair with a 50 amp cord and 50 amp inlet. I initially tested with propane and it started immediately and ran like a champ. For breakin and load testing I connected the 20 amp outlets to both a dust collector and wood planer. The generator didn't even flinch. Set up was effortless. However, it did take me a minute to find the battery connector which was hidden behind the frame; it had been fastened for shipping. Once I connected the battery, like I said it started up and ran perfectly.

The generator was delivered to the home yesterday. Despite its weight, the setup was straightforward and manageable without assistance. I charged the battery using the supplied trickle charger. Today, I hooked up a standard 20 lb propane cylinder and fired it up. The generator started on the second attempt using the remote FOB. The features are all clearly identifiable. I monitored the output using a FLUKE multi-meter connected to an oscilloscope for 30 minutes, and the 240V and 120V outputs were very stable, in fact more stable in frequency and voltage amplitude than the normal fluctuation observed in the utility-supplied power to the house. I particularly like the quick disconnect for the gas input. This will provide an easy connection to my larger propane cylinders. This generator replaces an older 16 kW self-starting generator (> 10 times the cost of the Westinghouse unit) that was done in by the Florida weather. Because the Westinghouse unit is portable, it can easily be stored in the garage during the hurricane off-season. Fortunately, the existing transfer connection makes for a quick hook-up to the home power panel. As expected of its size, the generator is not quiet. During use, it is on an outside wall of the garage, away from living areas. I will construct a protective housing to shield it from the elements and reduce noise while in use. I couldn't be happier with the purchase (days were spent investigating all options and products).

This generator is perfect for our household needs. Easy to assemble out of the box, plenty of power, has tri-fuel options, and even has a remote start (just a bonus.) My last generator died after last hurricane season, so now I’m feeling more prepared in case I need to use it.

Had straight line winds that knocked down trees, which knocked out power at camp house in a deep wooded area. The electric company said it was going to take to the good long while before power would be restored. This is August with 98 degree heat. My brother has a 15000 / 1300 Westinghouse.It seemed to do the job so I got the WGen10500 to give me power to the camp house while I cut trees to give me a route to the camp house. I got much needed AC. a shower because I had power to the well house, a working fridge. Lights. Even a TV in the middle of the woods. Before this happened, I had a 50/50 chance I wouldn't have power, due to the possibility of trees randomly falling on the power lines that ran to my camp house rendering my place powerless until the next day. My place is the last place to be powered by the electric company, and no one knows I'm powerless till I get there. So with the fact that I now have a WGen10500TFc, I don't Have to worry about the lack of electricity ever again.

I Bought this a month ago to be prepared for up coming hurricane season. After researching generators, this one seemed to be the best option due to it being tri-fuel, and this one comes with everything you need to get it ready. It comes with fuel lines for natural gas and propane. IT also comes with oil, battery and a charger plug for the battery which is a very good feature and also a remote start controller. Would recommend this for its value.

Bought this portable gen for emergency residential backup power living in hurricane prone state its a necessity. Generator has performed as advertised and met all essential needs. Westinghouse has been a household name brand for years and stands by its products.

Bought for hurricane preparation as an upgrade from an old 6000W generator. The push button start works well with automatic retry and expect this will help all items (minus fuel) to get started out of the box were included. Very detailed manuals for maintenance, operation, etc included as well.

I bought this a month ago, received it with no pieces bent or crushed, have just started breaking it but works great. It really is the only generator with this profile, tri fuel, decent power output, very efficient compared with competitors, burns clean and very low THD - had to wait for a while in waitlist but well worth it.
