Well Written Instructions

I unpacked my new generator yesterday and wanted to mention how clear / easy to follow the user manual is. The manual is divided into several chapters. The “Assembly” chapter guided me step by step through the process with clear diagrams and instructions. The “Operation” chapter is also very easy to understand. Since this is a Tri-Fuel, it outlined the steps for each option in a clear approach as well. In addition to the manual – there are step by step stickers on the unit itself that serve as quick reminders. When I looked at the oil fill location – I realized that I would need to get a funnel to reach it. When I went to the box to get the included oil – there was a funnel already there. According to the manual it needs 1.2 liters and the included oil contained 1.2 liters – so I was happy that the unit is sold with all the necessary items included. Although I plan to use natural gas – I connected it to a propane tank, and it started right up and ran great. The scheduled maintenance instructions for oil changes, etc. is easy to follow.

New Generator

Received this a few weeks ago, I haven't used it yet since there was a lot of new electrical work that was needed before I could test this out. It looks sturdy and I like the fact there is multiple options for fuel. Will leave an updated review when I put this to use, hoping not too soon since I prefer not to be in a power outage.

Flexibility and features

I live near the Gulf Coast of Texas and after I researched standby or backup generators for my house and knowing the dependability of the Westinghouse name, plus the features of the tri-fuel unit, it was an easy choice. So far I have not had to use it in earnest but after testing it out of the box; easy set up by the way, I have no doubt it will handle my needs when I lose power after severe weather.

Great Tri Fuel Generator to run most of my home

I bought this generator with the purpose of being able to run most of my home in case of a power outage. Having the ability to use three types of fuel was important. I am choosing to use natural gas as that is what my home uses for cooking and heating. I installed a manual transfer switch into my breaker panel and ran a 50 amp hookup on the exterior of my home. With this generator and my setup I can run my central a/c unit, two refrigerator/freezers, my gas stove/oven and microwave, washer and gas dryer, family room lights, master bedroom lights, a spare bedroom and a bathroom. Even with all.of.theae running, I would still be able to.run additional items off the 120v outlets on the generator. This generator is going to add piece of mind that should our power go out, we would still be able to live comfortably until power is restored.

Perfect fit for my home

This is the second Westinghouse generator I have bought. This one is for my home. I have a 50 amp outlet on the side of my house that I can run the 36 foot long generator cord to and run all the essential devices (including my furnace, AC and gas water heater) in my house using a transfer switch mounted in my basement. The other one is a bit smaller and is for my mobile home up at the lake. In case of a power outage, I can just unplug the 50 amp cord that goes to my mobile home from the Electric outlet on the utility pole and plug it directly into the 50 amp socket on the generator and run the entire mobile home from the generator power.

love the deluxe features

I bought this generator for my home about a month ago. I can't believe all the various features this unit has. I am thrilled about the 3 fuel options, the remote start, the battery setup and the various plug in outlets. I can push this unit around super easily with the wheels and handle setup. Love it!

Exceptional features for an exceptional price.

I purchased a few months ago and set up to start up was great. I love the options of having to choose what fuel I want to use at the time. It is a tri-fuel generator, so whatever fuel I have on hand I can keep my generator running. I looked all over and could not find another generator with these features for the price. It has a remote start feature which I love, Check it out, you will not be sorry.

Good, a little loud, not much support

Overall good, runs a whole house, including 4 ton ac. Sets off my UPS's so need to figure that out. Support is lousy, bad documentation on THD, spare parts is a total disaster, no knowledge from support people, IT IS TERRIBLE. THEY COULD NOT KNOW LESS. I would be super leery about warranty.

Good features

Just purchased and installed the 10500TFc. Started up nice and easy with the start/stop on machine and with key fob. Great feature to have instead of having to pull the starter rope each time! Battery turn off switch is nice to have to save the battery life. My plan is to use this for backup power for the essential needs of our house. Two things I would say so far as a negative is it's difficult to fill the gasoline fuel tank with a portable gas can without spilling. Using an hand pumping or powered pump will work better than tipping the can and pouring. I will be using propane to power this generator as I have a 125 gallon tank that I use for my house. I also have to wheel my generator around on gravel and the plastic wheels make it harder to roll. Rubber tires for me would have been over.

Great Generator

I've looked into generators for awhile and wanted a low THD portable gen that was within our budget. The Westinghouse that is just 1000 watts less than this one, and costs less but has the higher THD. if you've looked into generators, that may cause damage to sensitive electronics. I should have no problems running my house with this gen.
