Great size, easy set up

I purchased this before the winter and am very happy with it so far. We tested it after getting the circuit breaker panel modified and it ran the whole house! Unfortunately, we have not lost power all winter. I used it one day to power my shop vac while cleaning the car, just to break it in. Starts with no effort due to the battery. Will run it periodically to continue the break in. Looking forward to the next power outage!!

Starter Issues

Excellent, when I had to use it for the 1st time for an extended outage during a major storm powered by propane. However, now the starter switch will not work unless plugged in. Lowered rating because have not received fix yet. Read articles saying starter switches are not waterproofed.

Just did the break in cycle and it started up like a champ. Will be using this generator to power my whole house. I will be plugging it in to my tesla battery to keep it charged during power outages at night. I have no doubt it will power up my whole house as it has plenty of power. It is light and portable and looks really nice. I really like the blue color and the remote start. Awesome generator!

My first generator is a winner!

This was backordered for approximately 4 weeks, but I'm glad I waited for it. This generator, in addition to providing tons of wattage for powering a decent sized home, has practically everything you need included in the box - natural gas hose, propane gas hose, trickle charger, remote starter and even a quart of oil to get you started. It's also tri-fuel, so you've got plenty of options to power it. The only thing you need to provide is a 50 Amp cable to your power inlet box. I'm not looking forward to the next hurricane, but when it hits, I know I'll have access to electricity.

Solid Built Generator

I ordered this generator because hurricane Helene was to hit Western NC. Because of the major flooding and local damage/Declared Federal Disaster Area, I am now just now able to try it for the first time after 3 months of clean-up. So glad I have i now. The Tri fuel 10500 cranked on the propane setting the first try and the 3 attempts afterward.

Awesome Generator

This generator could not have come at a better time. We live in Arkansas and this was our second day of storms and lost power. First power went out for four hours, the next day was out for nine hours. This generator arrived four days ahead of schedule. First let's start with the shipping container. Very well packaged and protected. Generator came with additional buffering packing to protect the generator itself and all additional accessories, including the two propane hoses,battery charger, tools and books were all in its own separate heavy duty packaging. It came with everything that you need to get started. The oil was there with a special funnel that was angled, not allowing the oil to fall on the ground, 2 wrenches to put on the front stabilizers, easy on wheels with locking pins, easy connecting battery, remote start and of course, both the hoses I would need for the propane since this was a tri fuel. I did measure it, but the long hose seems to be 25 feet, that would be for a large ground propane tank and a smaller propane tank hose for a portable 25 up to 100 pounder. I was very impressed by the packaging of this generator. Very easy to set up , I put the oil in ,I programmed the remote start selected my fuel, choke on machine started right away. Hooked up a couple extension cords for my refrigerators and I was very happy. Very easy to move around with the big handle in front although this generator is a little heavy. Well it should be for 13,500 peak watt limit with a 500 CC engine. if I could say one negative thing I thought that maybe it was a little loud but overall this would definitely be a five star generator. Plug-ins 1-120/240V 50amp 1-120/240amp 30V and 4-120 V 20amp plug-ins. This was a very reasonably priced tri fuel generator. I would absolutely 100% recommend this generator.

Perfect setup for my needs

I had a traditional gas generator that we used during the outages after Hurricane Beryl, and after spending too much time hunting for a working gas station, I decided to upgrade to Tri Fuel. The price and features of this are very good compared to other models, and low THD is perfect for the electronics I'll need to power. I'm just finishing the break in period using propane and have had zero issues with operating it. Moving the box and assembling it initially is probably a 2 person job, but I managed it by myself with some wood blocks and creative leverage.

Works Great. Some Thoughts Though.

Bought from Homedepot, was undamaged and came with all accessories, Its quite heavy and assembly was easy enough. Already did the break in and connected to my house via a 50amp twist lock inlet box. Generator is stored in a modified Rubbermaid plastic shed with intake vents and a attic fan. Runs nice and cool on LPG and exhaust is routed outside the shed with a class B stove pipe I self tapped onto the muffler. Co2 sensor doesn't trip even with the shed doors closed. There also appears to be 2 different versions of the 11500tfc, one with a oil filter and one without, luckily Mine has one. My dislikes: The Manual. I understand there was a typo in alot of manuals stating the THD% was 23% instead of 5%, Westinghouse has confirmed the 11500tfc is indeed 5% but the manual Iv received with my 11500tfc does NOT mention the THD% anyone in the entire manual, so that's concerning. The Break In. The manual states 5hrs under 50% load, well for starters you NEED to purchase separately a M12 x 1.5 magnetic oil drain plug before you even start it. I ran it for 1hr and changed the oil only the find a Glittery mess and alot of metal shaving on the magnet. Ran for another 4hrs with varying load under 50% and while it still had a bit of metal flakes it was alot better. So safe to say you need to do at least 2 oil changes during the break in, and one of them being within the first hour. Not sure why they couldn't include a magnetic drain plug or dip stick for this price but w.e. The info screen. This one is more personal but I wish it was a load or wattage reading on the info screen, Frequency is nice but its far less useful.

Great Features and Price

I received this generator 2 days ago and have just completed assembly and setup.I live in Central Florida and due to Hurricane Milton last year I was without power for 5 days. I vowed to be prepared this year and am confident that this generator will meet my needs. The Westinghouse reputation and ratings sold me on this product...

Perfect size ample wattage

Just bought. Did a lot of research and you can't make everyone happy, but most reviews were positive, so this is the one I decided on. Below average price for this wattage rated generator. It's a beast. With a lot of extras other units in this price range do not have. The carbon monoxide shut off is the only negative for me because I run it outside in a covered area for the sole purpose of keeping it out of the elements i.e. rain and still away from the house. Otherwise, this is nearly perfect. Thanks Westinghouse.
