Perfect solution!

Perfect as a lower cost solution for whole house back up in conjunction with a panel interlock kit. Thousands less expensive than a standby generator! Came perfectly packaged, no damage whatsoever. Works exactly as advertised. The tri-fuel selection is great! Love the remote start, too.

Great Generator

This generator is very easy to use and set up. This is first generator I have owned. I love the remote start. I have borrowed a friends generator before and am familiar with the pull cord start, in the rain. Having a remote is so convenient. There are three options to start the generator. The remote, the push button and the pull cord. I like the fact that I have three fuel options. I also can eventually tie this generator to my house electrical system(get a licensed electrician for this). Another great feature are the wheels which allow you to move it around with ease. So far I am really loving this piece of equipment.

Fits my needs perfectly

I bought this to provide power to my whole house, replacing a small inverter generator that I was using to power up a small window A/C unit and a few small appliances. My home is set up for natural gas so getting a tri-fuel model was high on my list. After researching various brands, I settled on the Westinghouse 9500TFc as it is the only generator in this size that provides a 50A plug. I also like the fact that it can be remote started and weighs only about 200 lbs. The large wheels and foldable handle make it easy to move around with only one person. I have yet to actually use it beyond the initial break-in period. The only small annoyance is the user manual which leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately for me, there are plenty of how-to videos online.

Portable Powerhouse

Recent 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.

Good Unit; Loud and Directions not Ideal

The unit worked well after it was installed. The directions for pairing the remote are not correct; if they are correct in the manual then that method did not work with my unit. When operating the unit a lot louder than as marketed. Odd that in the manual it clearly states the unit can not be operated in the rain, this seems to defeat the purpose of using it as a back-up generator (marketed as a whole house backup) during a huricane (Beryl).

New Backup Generator
4 out of 5 stars review

New Generator

I picked this up as a back up to the Generac I am having installed. This generator is really solid (and heavy). So far things look to be good to go. Simple setup and instructions have been easy to follow. I picked this one due to its tri-feul capability. I'll be testing out things more indepth this weekend to verify how well it operates. I have a couple 20 lb propane tanks and will add a couple more (hurricane season is here). I'll try the gas option this weekend also. I hope to test the natural gas sooner rather than later. Overall this generator looks to be what is needed for as a decent backup. If things work out well, I will most likely pickup a second.

Most inclusive generator I've found.

I just received my new generator. It is great. All hoses, battery, battery charger, remote starter FOB and oil was included. Assembly was easy and pull handle well placed to the unit where I need it. Instruction manual is clear and easy to follow.

Flexible and Easy to Assemble

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this model. I like its flexibility - 3 ways to start and 3 options for fuel for a reasonable price. It arrived yesterday and I was able to assemble it myself (I am a 70 year old woman). It was fun! The instructions were clear and the packaging was well-designed.

Nice compact size

After spending a few days without power because of Hurricane Beryl, we decided we needed a generator. After researching many different manufacturers, we bought this one because of positive reviews and a great price for the features we wanted, especially the Tri-fuel feature. We haven’t needed it it yet, but it seems very well built and small enough that it doesn’t take up too much space, but with plenty of power to run the things we want. The small amount of assembly required is very simple and quick to complete, and required tools are included!

Only had it for 2 days so far so good

Quick start was very intuitive so far ran it on propane and natural gas and had no issues other than on propane for startup it backfired once but after that no issues. Battery came charged and ready to go. Packaging seemed very adequate for cardboard and weighing over 200 lbs.
