Westinghouse Portable Generator

I bought this generator to replace my old one. Even though this generator is twice the capacity of my old one, I was concerned about the weight and moving the generator around. Moving the generator is not difficult at all. Assemble was easy and start up was flawless. It is a tri-fuel generator, so I have three options if fuel is scarce. I am very happy with my purchase.

Simple Start Up and Tri-Fuel Options

This is my first generator I've ever owned after ultimately deciding it was time due to the extreme weather events in Texas. I appreciated that everything you need initially is ready to go within the box except one crucial item. I had assumed the natural gas feed line would connect to a standard 1/2" close pipe thread but realized it needed a flare thread after fussing with it for a while. I didn't see this specification anywhere in the manual or literature, but perhaps I just missed it. After a quick trip to the hardware store for an adapter, I was up and running. This unit is loud but was very simple to get set up and running.

Easy to use

I just got the generator and it was very easy to start. I used natural gas and it started right away. The noise level is not bad and even when I connected my portable AC, fridge and a large freezer the noise level remained the same. This is going to save my sanity this coming storm season.

Excellent Tri-Fuel Generator – Reliable, Powerful

I've been really impressed with the Westinghouse WGen10500TFc. One of the main reasons I chose this model is that it runs on propane, which makes maintenance much easier than using gasoline — no worries about stale fuel or gummed-up carbs. The added bonus of a natural gas hookup is great too, offering long-term flexibility for emergency power. The electric start works perfectly, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I've come to appreciate the remote start/stop key fob — I didn't think I'd use it, but it's incredibly convenient, especially during bad weather or nighttime outages. As for the noise, it's about what you'd expect from a generator this size — no louder than any others I've used or heard nearby. Totally manageable, especially with proper placement. The large capacity is perfect for running through an inlet plug and interlock kit, and it handles most of the essentials in my house without issue during an outage: lights, fridge, freezer, well pump, and more. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. It's a solid, reliable unit that brings peace of mind during emergencies. Five stars.

Easy set up and great power

I bought the 9500 tri fuel for my elderly parents and it worked well for their needs. Decided to upgrade a bit because of my pool equipment I would like to run for a couple of hours during an outage. This generator performed well with the load. Very thankful for it and how easy it is to use.

Good Features, Easy Setup

Just bought this generator last week. Shopping was quick and professional. Setup took about 30 minutes, and I was up and running. I'll use natural gas only, but having the other options is great in an emergency. Many great features! At 230 pounds, I recommend two people to install the wheels, etc.

Very well built. Looks awesome.

I bought this a month ago after a bad storm left us without power for a few days. My initial plan was just to save my food and power a few lights. After a little research and crunching some numbers, I realized this product would run my house. I added the inlet and lockout kit to my house and let her rip. this machine is a Beast. I did the break in and put small loads on it. After a good break in I turned the AC back on, and when it came on this thing barely hickuped. It runs very smooth with almost no vibration. The unit runs pretty quiet, not inverter quiet, but quiet enough that the neighbors probably won't be bothered. It's very well put together and looks nice and clean. I've tested all outlets and functions, and everything works great. Great product.

My new portable generator

On Christmas Day , 2023 , it was 60 and sunny . Beautiful day and our power went out. It was out for four hours with a house full of people . I decided along with my wife to hook up a portable generator . I called around and a Westinghouse 11500 was recommended . I ordered it on line , shipped when they said it would and I just finished setting it up . Thus far I am very pleased .

Quick set up and easy to understand controls

This appears to be a solidly built generator. It comes assembled except for the feet and wheels. I tested it out and it seemed to run most of my home circuits with just a tiny bit of fluttering of the LED lights in the house. My refrigerator and AC was running at the time so it might have been approaching its limit for Propane. I got a cut on my hand setting it up so I went looking for the issue. The welding was less than perfect as you can see in the photos. They used a wire feed welder on the handle and I got stabbed by a wire on a weld. It was easy to fix, but at this price there should have been some quality control person who should have caught this. The hole that the wheel assembly fits in also had a bead of weld dripped on it and I had to drill it out to get the axle in. I still feel I would recommend it as everything but the welding looked awesome.

RUNS EVERYTHING!

Bought this gen for whole-home standby power. Built a custom enclosure and did a semi-permanent install with an interlock kit on my panel and an inlet box to connect to my home. Ran proper wiring and plumbing for natural gas and gave it a shot. It runs everything in my 2000sq ft home. All lighting/120v receptacles, clothes dryer, 4-ton heat pump (w/hard start--no heat strips), 2-ton minisplit heatpump/ac in attached garage, microwave, etc. The only thing I've yet to try is to run my dryer and my hvac unit at the same time. On paper, that would overload the gen capacity so I didn't even try it. It does run one at a time just fine on natural gas. I'm very pleased with my purchase. The remote start feature makes it possible to bring my home up on gen power without ever having to go out in the weather.
