12500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready, Gas Powered, CO Sensor

Best generator - tri fuel (!!) - works great with propane, natural gas and gasoline. Best part is the Westinghouse Smart Switch power module which makes the unit fully automatic - I know of no other portable generator that is compatible with the smart switch . Once the Smart Switch senses no current in household outlet, the generator auto starts and switches the attached appliances from house current to generator current - brilliant and no electrician needed. (Note: Smart Switch max output is 20 amps). This is my second Westinghouse generator (upgraded from 7500 to 9500 and from dual fuel to tri fuel) - very reliable - had the previous one for 3 years without any issues - starts every time. When running on fuels other than gasoline the max output is less than 9500 so take that into consideration when sizing the right unit for your needs.

Overall fantastic generator. It is very easy to use with the electric start. It’s not any more noisy than any other generator out there but does have some noise so keep that in mind. It came with the battery charged enough to start so that was nice. It seems well made and Westinghouse seems to have a good quality control system, so far so good. I just tried it with the manual switch to power the house and it had enough amperage capacity to handle the load of a two story house running several things. I definitely recommend this generator for anyone needing backup house power at a reasonable price.

Offers everything one would want for a backup generator. Tri-fuel, battery start, 50 amp and 30 amp service. I will run whole house, including air conditioner if needed. Delivered very quickly. Easy to set up. I have 2 others I have come in contact with mention how highly rated this equipment is. One was the electrician I used to install the transfer switch. While the generator is heavy (200+ pounds) the handle and wheels make it very manageable.

Product packaging is perfect. Everything is really self explanatory. Assembly is basic and start up is very easy. Started mine on propane and fired immediately. Noise level is what was expected and not bad. This unit will do what I need and the value is perfect. Thank you for building something very versatile and affordable.

Great features, like remote electric start and tri-fuel. The fit and finish on the generator look top notch. Manuals are top notch and thorough. Hopefully, it performs as well as it looks.

Generator started right up running on propane, powers everything up that I wanted it for, well-built and rolls easy. The noise level is acceptable for this size, received with no damage and was notified the morning of delivery from the trucking line, ordered from Amazon. Set up was very easy, comes with the wheels and feet, in researching other units some had that as an extra charge.

I live in a rural area that commonly experiences high winds, torrential rains, and tornadoes, and that's just in spring and summer. With all the opportunities for power outages, common sense dictates that a generator is a must. After many months of searching stores and reading hundreds of reviews, I finally decided on the WGen9500TFc due to the variety of options available and the amazing customer reviews and experiences, but mostly for the tri-fuel option. After having a line added to my home, I no longer have to worry about checking how much fuel is left, especially when it's below 0° outside. Not to mention, the remote start is another amazing feature! It has the power to run my 3-bedroom, 2-bath house with 2 garages and everything inside. It powers my welder when I'm away from the house and has always been reliable! I look forward to many years of great use with an amazing product!

Seems to be a high quality generator with many features. The electric and remote start allows anybody to be able to start it. It comes with a 15ft NG hose so it can be plumbed into your home's gas line. While it de-rates it's power, it will cost less than gasoline and keep the engine much cleaner. Setup was easy enough. Put on wheels and legs was all I had to do. It comes with a small toolkit that has everything you need. There are plenty of tags reminding you to do things like put in the oil before starting, turn off the gas when not in use, etc. The neutral is bonded to the frame, so if you plan on using it to run your home, it is recommended to unbind the neutral which is easy to do and is located behind the alternator cover. We'll see how this holds up long term, but I do not forsee any issues.

Delivery was done on time, and I was informed prior to drop-off. It was fairly easy to set up; the instructions were clear for operation. It started up the first time using gasoline; I'm waiting on the hookup for natural gas. It comes with both lines for propane & natural gas. Although this was not clear at the time of ordering, I purchased an additional natural gas line. Everything appears to work and runs well, and I'm pleased with the purchase. Have not had a chance to use during an outage but feel confident it will do the job. Had a Generlink installed so power goes directly through breaker panel.

Generator Surplus sent the missing Natural gas hose + charging adaptor. That is a good seller in my books. After adding the breaker in oil and testing this it seems to work fine as a power source on propaine. The build quality seems very good and having three fuels makes it good value for the investment. Having the electric start makes it easy to use for those less physically able. l will test natural gas the main reason I bought this power source as in many disasters in North America in recent years the natural gas stays on rather than trying to find gas stations for propaine and gas. As others have mentioned, the generator is quite loud & vibrates the floor if you have it in one. Perhaps it could use a rubber for the wheels and a little shed to dampen the sound. Instead of running a bunch of extension cords, I plan on having an electrician hook up an automatic transfer switch on my main power panel. This will prevent safety hazards for linemen repairing downed power lines and prevent damage to the generator and the devices plugged into it. Now I will make sure to pick up all the maintenance items to keep this running through any disaster. I will update my review after I have done more testing and have everything optimised.

Recent storms in our area have made owning a generator a necessity. The tri-fuel Westinghouse 12500W lets you select the fuel you want to use….Natural gas & propane & if you in a remote local gasoline is an option. The 12500 Peak Watts is plenty of power to run all your garage power tools , RV trailer & a quantity of your household appliances to live comfortably in a power outage. The generator arrived quickly & the box items list was complete. Easy setup out of the box….less than 15 mins…owners manual helped understand the Tri- fuel generator know matter your level of generator knowledge. I would definitely recommend the Westinghouse Tri-fuel 12500W…if you buy the tri-fuel you will have options….if your fuel option change you already have the right generator.

Don’t know yet haven’t had a chance to put it to work but the battery charger is a real bonus. Great idea.

Just got my generator, unfortunately the package was 1 axle and 1 flat washer short but the costumer service was great on usa side and canadian side , and they do whatever they can to get the missing parts to you asap. I think if you spend close to 3000 $ they could check and make sure al parts are there before send it out for delivery. The fuel tank and cross bar are dented and bend a little ,probably happend in transport . The noise is not bad at all I expected much more for such a big generator and it runs smooth. Overall I'm quite happy with this genset and I think I have one of the best genset I can buy for 3 grand in this caliber generators
