As advertised

We just received our tri-fuel generator. The instructions to put it together were easy to follow and easy for one person to do. We put just enough gas in it to start it, it started up easily with both the starter on the generator and the remote. We didn't use it for very long, just long enough to test it out, but we are confident it will be perfect in the event that we lose power and need it.

Heavy duty!

I bought this generator a month ago because a tornado came through DFW and knocked the power out for several days. This is a purchase long overdue since Texas's grid can not be relied upon. I bought the generator specifically for the natural gas option and though I have not put it to use yet, I found it to be extremely well built as I was putting it together. It was very easy to put together despite the generator weighing nearly 300lbs. I am a woman in her 30's and was able to place the legs and mount the wheels by myself. I hope it performs well as this is not a purchase I want to return to the store.

Reliable Power When You Need It

I recently purchased this generator as a backup for my home during storms and occasional power outages. Overall, it has been a great investment. It starts up quickly, runs smoothly, and is powerful enough to keep my fridge, a few lights, and small appliances running without any issues. The noise level is reasonable for a generator – not silent, but not overwhelmingly loud either. It's also relatively fuel-efficient, lasting several hours on a single tank depending on the load. Setup was straightforward, with clear instructions provided. The only downside is that it's a bit heavy to move around, so if you plan to use it in multiple locations, a wheel kit or dolly is highly recommended. In summary, this generator offers reliable performance and peace of mind during unexpected outages. I would recommend it to anyone needing a dependable backup power source for their home or small outdoor activities.

Great Value

After experiencing our first tornado and having no power for 4 days, we decided to pull the trigger on a portable generator that had the ability to provide whole home power. After days of research I landed on the Westinghouse 13500 Peak watt generator. It's not the cheapest one out there, price wise but for what you get, it's the best bang for the buck! No pun intended. It arrived 97% assembled. You just need to install the wheels, foot pegs and oil that is provided and it's ready to go! Total set up time was less than 5 minutes. We have about a 3,100 sqft house and our electrician said this thing will power all of our essentials and then some without any issues. Obviously you want to limit the work load, but this thing is solid nonetheless.

WGen10500TFc Portable Generator

We purchased this Westinghouse Generator. It shipped quickly and started up right away. It runs great and will power my needs if we lose power. Love the tri-fuel unit so we have options. It is a bit loud and very heavy but is such a great and reliable product from a company we trust.

Versitile Little Powerhouse

We bought this in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene; after realizing my existing generators were not up to the task of getting my well pump up and running (both were small-to-medium size inverters, but lacked a 240V output). Immediately after getting the unit, I assembled it. Assembly is extremely straightforward, but I'd recommend having two people on hand to help load, unload, and unbox the unit, as it is quite heavy (the specs list it at 230 lbs). Assembly on this model is really just installing the feet and wheels, which took 5 minutes. I used some 2x4 and 4x4 blocking I had on hand to lift the frame up, which made it extremely easy to bolt and pin everything on without someone having to hold the generator up. This unit included a gas hose for natural gas, hose and regulator for propane, and more than enough oil for your first oil install. I oiled the unit up, overfilled it... (my mistake)... corrected the oil level, hooked up a propane tank, and it fired right up without hesitation. I'll be doing some load cycling for break-in on the unit, but it hasn't flinched at anything its seen yet, and I feel so much more prepared now than I was just two weeks ago. The clean power of this unit makes me feel extremely comfortable utilizing it as a pseudo-whole house generator without fear of damaging sensitive electronics.

Great product Started up first time.

I recently purchased this generator, and I couldn't be more impressed with the initial experience! From the moment it arrived, the assembly process was incredibly straightforward. The instructions were clear, and I had it set up and ready to go in no time – definitely one of the easiest assemblies I've encountered with a power tool.

Had trouble with propane at first, but great now

This generator always worked well on gasoline but I got it so I could use propane. At first I could not get it to start on propane. Nor could I get it to switch from running on gas to propane. After a lot of messing with it, my helper noticed that the rubber output line behind the switch was not connected. The clamp was completely off the connector. He connected the line and tightened the clamp, and it works like a champ now with propane.

Just got it and am setting it up today

Beautiful piece of equipment. Will be leaving a followup review once I have had the opportunity to use it. With hurricane season upon us, I am anxious to get this going and am so confident in it that I have already had the manual transfer switch for the house installed.

The 11500TFC is a BEAST

Absolutely love this generator. The WestingHouse 11500TFC is packed with so many bells and whistles, it honestly feels like a high-end piece of gear. One of the standout aspects is the low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), which means you're getting clean, stable power that's safe for sensitive electronics—a huge plus if you're running things like laptops, TVs, game consoles, etc. I'm also impressed by how accessible everything is when it comes to general maintenance. Whether you're checking the oil, swapping the air filter, or spark plug, the layout is intuitive and user-friendly.
