Best investment ever!

After being without power for 60 hours, I purchased this generator online. About an hour later the power came back on. I had it in the garage for less than 2 months when Hurricane Beryl devastated our area. My partner had previously installed a plug that would allow this machine to run my entire house and once the power was out, he plumbed my natural gas line to the machine so that I didn't have to spend hours searching for and waiting for gasoline or propane. Other than how VERY LOUD it is, it has been a complete life saver as we enter our 75th hour with no power to over 2 million people, and up to 4 more days without, I haven't skipped a beat. I can run everything including my HVAC and still do a load of laundry or cook dinner. I can't say enough about this product.

First Look

Just picked up the WGen10500Tfc. I opened the box and began assembly. There wasn't much to it, just adding wheels and front stays, adding the oil that was supplied. Everything went exactly as the instructions stated. The instructions are very detailed and written with a lot of safety cautions. I fueled the unit with propane and once connected and turned on the remote start worked great. I ran it for quite a while and it just purred, a bit of a loud purr but what you would expect from an open generator of that size.

Serious, High-quality Equipment

This is a serious piece of hardware. The quality of the generator is very good. The manual and other documentation is top notch and is dedicated to this particular model. This is much appreciated, too often owner manuals include multiple products and the instructions are confusing. The generator started right up, I feel ready for the next power outage. If there is a negative, it would be that these are hard to find in stock anywhere.

Looks Good

Bought this almost a month ago in prep for a planned outage in the neighborhood. Unfortunately it came a bit late for that. But the silver lining is that there's another planned outage so I'm looking forward to having the generator. Has a ton of features my old generator didn't have and the 3 fuel options makes it a much more flexible solution. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but it was easy to put together, well labeled and should do the trick.

Very impressed with this generator

Like many I'm sure, I have "been meaning to get a generator" in case of a prolonged outage. I finally did last month. I had been eyeing the Westinghouse tri fuel units for a while. I went with the 10500 as it seemed the best "average" between running most of the house vs cost and size (dimentions). The unit is very impressive out of the box. Only assembly needed was putting the wheels on. Also impressed with hoses it came with. Propane and NG, both in full 1/2" sizing. I have run it through its 5-hour break in and it went very smoothly, running on propane. Also started it up on NG. Since they both were fine, I didn't run it on gas. Didn't want to deal with draining the tank / carb after. I went with the tri fuel as any of the few longer outages we have had in NE Ohio never lost NG. I will nonetheless stock up on some propane bottles too. I waited a short while for arrival, but not too long. Could have gotten a similar HF unit for ~$100 less. A friend has a smaller HF unit that he is happy with. For me, the $100 less wasn't enough of a savings for something as critical-when-you-need-it as this larger, whole-house unit is.

OMG! This thing runs like a dream!

Just received! My brother who lives 28 hrs away help me with installing feet/wheels. I literally know nothing about using a genny. He helped with live video and pics. Runs like a dream! We tested the distance with the remote start..about 40 ft and even through brick! I'm in Florida and getting ready for hurricane season. I learned last year with NO power for 10 days and lost all our food. NOT happening again! Thank you Westinghouse for making an awesome product. Hope we don't have to use this year but if we do, I'll come back to make another review on how it holds up. I've been told I can install this to my panel box as it's large enough to run my entire house.

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.

Incredible power and build quality

I purchased this generator with the hopes of never needing to use it but if and when I do I know it will power my whole home without issue. I purchased this tri fuel generator because it's better to have options and you never know what may be easy or difficult to get fuel wise. It's built to last forever and I plan to have it that long. Thank you Westinghouse...well done.

Very nice unit!!

I bought this unit a month ago and finally got around to opening the box, I am very pleased, this unit is well packaged, once the box is opened there is minimal assembly to do basically install two wheels and the two front leg support and add the oil, with manuals to explain assembly and start up.(took 15Min) This unit has very nice features like a larger knob for fuel selection, larger rocker switch to disconnect battery for long storage and very nice display on all the switch's and panel. started right up on propane and ran nice, not too noisy for the size of generator. It also comes with the 25ft natural gas hose and a 4ft propane hook up hose and also a battery charge that plugs in the front panel to make sure its always ready to go ! I'm almost looking forward to the next power outage to put it to the test to supply my home. Also the distributor that supplied me my generator was easy and pleasant to deal with !!

Westinghouse Portable Generator

I bought this generator because of capacity and flexibility of three different fuels. The product is complete with tools to assemble, oil, oil funnel, spark plug wrench and battery charger. I like having a gas fuel gauge, a CO2 monitor, remote key fob start, it is transfer switch ready, a range of connection outlets and a detailed Quick Start Guide. I am impressed with the wide range of features for the money.
