Westinghouse 12500 Watt Dual Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start, Transfer Switch Ready, Gas and Propane Powered

This generator is an absolute powerhouse. It fired up instantly, powered my whole house (yes, AC and fridge included), and ran like a champ for hours. The dual-fuel option is a total game-changer, and the electric start makes life easy. It’s built tough, runs surprisingly quiet for its size, and gives you total peace of mind during outages.It starts up smooth, runs quiet, and sips fuel like it’s on a diet. Setup was a breeze, and the build feels rock-solid. I’ve used it for both home backup and weekend camping, and it hasn’t let me down once.If you're on the fence, jump — this generator delivers.If you want serious power without the premium price tag — the WGen10500 is it.

I purchased the Westinghouse generator after reading the reviews to ensure my home stays powered during outages, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The generator arrived well packaged and in great condition. It was easy to assemble and set up. It took less than an hour, [all necessary tools, oil, funnel, etc.], is provided. I know others said the instructions were hard to follow, but with a little image studying they were quite clear. Overall, I am very impressed with this generator. I completed installing a 50 amp input box to an interlock at the panel with a 50 amp breaker. This generator delivers plenty of power to run essential appliances with ease. As I added load by turning on breakers, the usual change in pitch was nearly undetectable. The features of the generator are excellent, the control panel is well labeled, the outlets are well protected, and the electric start is AWESOME! It is really solidly built, yet it is smooth and easy to move. The sturdy folding handle easily folds out of the way when you don’t need it. I have used the generator twice so far, and have been nothing but impressed. Generators don’t typically make me smile, but this one does. Purchase with confidence, this well-built piece of equipment is worth every penny and won’t disappoint..

purchased the Westinghouse 13500 Peak Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator primarily for home backup during outages, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The build quality is top-notch, the remote electric start is incredibly convenient, and it’s truly transfer switch ready, making integration with my home panel smooth and hassle-free.One of the biggest surprises—and a pleasant one—was that I received a free upgrade to the tri-fuel version! That means I can now run it on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, giving me far more flexibility depending on availability and cost of fuel. This alone adds tremendous value and peace of mind.The generator is powerful enough to comfortably run essential home appliances including the refrigerator, lights, modem, and even an HVAC system if needed. The noise level is reasonable for its size and power, and the included wheels and handles make it surprisingly easy to move for such a heavy-duty unit.Overall, this generator is an absolute beast, and the tri-fuel upgrade just sealed the deal for me. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for serious backup power with flexibility and reliability.

I bought this generator to use during power outages, and it works amazing. It was easy to set up, and I love that it can run on both gas and propane. The remote start is super convenient—no need to go outside when it’s raining! It powered my fridge, lights, Wi-Fi, and even the AC without any problems.It’s a bit heavy, but the wheels help a lot. It’s not the quietest, but that’s expected with a big generator like this. Overall, very happy with the quality. I feel much safer knowing I have backup power ready. Highly recommend it!

This seems to be a great device once the issues got resolvedOn Prime day this WGen9500df was on sale for a great price.Unlike my normal and frequent experiences with items purchased from Amazon this purchase was almost a comedy of errors that probably do not lie with Amazon themselves but more with the Mfg. company and delivery service.First off, be aware that if you live at an altitude above 2000 ft. in elevation as I do you will need to buy the high altitude carb kit to change the jet in the carburetor and the high altitude kit for the propane regulator.XPO Frieght was the delivery service for my unit. They called me a week before to schedule a delivery date and time window and told me I had to be there and to expect a call shortly before they arrived.On the day of delivery I recieved text message early saying that they were on the way. After that things went south. Delivery was three hours past the end of the three hour delivery window they had given me, I never recieved a call before the delivery driver knocked on my door saying they had dropped the unit off on the apron of my driveway. Not sure but the delivery people looked like they were perhaps contracted by XPO and to be fair the drivers who were respectful said they were not instructed to call before delivery and were not expecting for anyone to be home to recieve the item, but then said he was instructed to get my signature. I did get the delivery guys to move the unit where I needed it by the house before they left.Amazon sent a message asking how the delivery went. After I replied I got a message from XPO asking what had happened and that someone would follow up shortly after my text response but I have not heard back from XPO and that was over ten days ago.Outside of the high altitude carb and propane kit everything else you need comes with this unit including engine oil, the funnel to pour it in , battery charger, spark plug wrench and wrench for installing the feet provided for the unit.I put gas in the tank opened the gas fuel valve and almost immediately gas started dripping out (about one drop per second) from where the carb is bolted to the cylinder head, not good. I closed the valve and called customer service , used the option where they will call me back when it is my turn. Did not recieve a call back. Called again the next day and did recieve a call back within one half hour. A very nice and very knowledgable lady said that the fuel needle probably got knocked out of its seat during shipping (my generator arrived in what appeared to be excellent condition with no scrapes or holes in the cardboard shipping box) which made perfect sense so I said I will take it apart since I am fairly handy around these things and see if that fixes the situation.I also told her I lived at an high altitude and so she emailed me links to the kits I needed and also instructions to install the carb kit.Unfortunately after first succesfully paying for the propane kit I went on to order the carb kit which was SOLD OUT and realized that both the parts links she sent were for machines built before 2019. I then found and ordered the right kits for both but now also have that first propane kit also that is worthless to me. At only about 10 bucks in cost its not woth the time and effort to me to try and return.Once the parts arrived I took of the carb installed the new high altitude jet which was simple to do and reassembled the carb making sure that the fuel needle and seat were correctly orientated with each other. Opened the fuel valve and no more drip of gas.....great!I looked around but was not quite sure were the propane part was to be installed. The diagrams in the manual do not call out the item and could not find instructions on the company website. Took two more days of trying before getting ahold of a representative who seemed helpful and said she could email me something that day that shows where the part goes, she verified my email address but I never recieved anything from her. I went back to looking around on my own and found that this brass threaded fitting simply screws into the "out" (it is marked) port on the propane regulator that is actually located where you would attach a propane hose to.Now that everything is squared away this generator is great. I really like the remote starter which works from anywhere in my house. It starts easily and runs and powers well. I am guessing that most people would probably not run into what I did, but this was my experience.
