Powerful Generator

Needed a larger generator to power our food trailer. This one will run all of our lights, equipment and the air conditioner at the same time. This has solved the issue of choosing what we could and could not run at the same time. Just as quiet as the last smaller generator we were using.

This Thing is Lit!

It does a great job charging our solar generator, and it runs off Propane/Natural Gas as well. This thing is mega quiet, it runs our 220v hot tub and it runs our whole house centrail air conditioner. It is a beast! Get this generator and you cannot go wrong. The Generator showed up within 3 days also.

Pleasantly surprised

The generator was as advertised - quiet and reasonably easy to set up. Everything seemed to work well, though it's still in break-in so I haven't asked it for full power yet. My only point of confusion is why is it necessary to change the oil every time the gas tank is drained. Seems excessive for a back-up generator that runs twice a year and is stored with the fuel tank and carbuetor bowel empty.

Food truck approved!

I purchased back in February 2025. We have used it on our beverage truck that requires a lot of power. Until recently, I have had not issues. I am currently experiencing issues with it cutting off but I am taking it to be serviced. In general Westinghouse generators are reliable, This is our 6th one in the last 4 years and they all run great.

Absolute Beast!

This Westinghouse generator is built like a tank! Very straightforward setup right out of the box. Everything you need to get started is included, they even supply a sturdy box wrench to attach the wheels! Kudos to the person who decided to send a container of oil that perfectly fits the specified capacity of the oil reservoir, making it a no non-sense "spill free" fill up! I purchased this especially for the "tri-fuel" capability. This bad boy fired right up within seconds of attaching it to a fresh propane tank. I was impressed with the noise level even without the "eco" mode activated. The included remote control start "fob" and trickle charger were the icing on the cake. It even has a dedicated port for the external battery charger so you don't have to open up the engine cover to connect to the battery terminals when "trickle" charging! All around great design by Westinghouse on this one. We will have to wait and see how difficult it is to change the oil after a few hours of break in time, but so far I am impressed. This is my third generator purchase after previously owning an open frame "old school" model generator and a smaller inverter style generator over the last 25 years. Obviously it hasn't been "battle tested" yet, but I'm confident with my purchase. Hope this review helps others make an informed decision.

So quiet!!!

I know the description said it was quiet, but I was just expecting a little quieter than a normal (non-inverter) generator, but this was way quieter! I started it up and was immediately surprised how quiet it was. My wife didn't even hear it from inside the house. I have a much smaller inverter generator, and this is MUCH quieter than that. I've even included a little video just to demonstrate how quiet it is. I mean seriously! I think you're underestimating the quietness... For some reason, the Add Video option won't take the link, saying it's invalid, but here it is: https://youtu.be/fVnb9pfPDpc

OUTAGES = NO HOT MOMMA!

My neighbors have been installing Generac's, all 20K+ (not knocking their decision making!). Local data shows minimal power outages. So, I sntalled a Slow Start system on our A/C allowing other whole home options (reduced turn on surge 70% with Soft Start). Like their Generac's, I am using this WHouse Tri Fuel GEN and powering my entire home without ever needing fuel e.g., had a natural gas line ran along with power for this generator. I achieved the same outcome as the Generac for around 4.5K and I can take my power with me. Only primary difference is I have to plug-in and manually turn on where the Generac is automatic. Adding the Soft Start on the A/C plus this highly rated IGen11000TFc = no hot momma, if an outage, in the Texas heat! Plus 16K for other man toys! Regrets = NONE. Noise levels the same - both options using natural gas - Generac automatic - I have to use an on and off key FOB.

So far so good!

Bought this to power my apartment when power goes out, which is quite often, especially with winter around the corner. Also bought to be able to run my welder. Im still in break in period, right at 2 hours run time, but tested it with my welder on 240 and it seems to be doing ok with it. Im not pulling much power, I think it was only using about 3000 watts while testing a few welds. The only thing im concerned about was it surging up and down very fast while welding. Not sure if it should be doing that or not so im going to contact someone to find out. But all in all, I like it so far. Quiet, but not as quiet as it states in the specs. It says 62 or 64 decibels, but im reading right at 70db with no load. But, it fires right up and is doing what ive asked it to do so far. Also, I had originally ordered the dual fuel, but for some reason I was upgraded to the tri fuel, so thats a bonus!

Best Purchase/Easy to Use

Bought this generator to get ready for the ice storm; thank goodness we didn’t lose electricity but still connected it to our RV to get it nice and warm inside. Super easy to start and even easier to pull from one place to another with the big wheels it has on it.

Looking forward to using it

After some research on emergency home power supply when the lights go out, decided to go with this Westinghouse inverter generator, specifically for its ability to use natural gas. I just had an electrician wrap up a 50 amp outlet and interlock installation, and had the plumber add a T connection to my natural gas meter to allow connection for the generator. I look forward to using this generator.
