WGen Tri Fuel

Review Posted 01/29/2025
I purchased this to power most of my house in case of a power outage. It does the job. I did have a soft start kit installed on my AC unit. I had a 50 amp connection box installed. I'm using natural gas to power the generator. No problems to date. It's not hard to move around and is very sturdy.

Ran for 30 Minutes

Review Posted 08/14/2024
I really want to like this Generator, I received it on July 2024 Hooked it up to the house 2 weeks after receiving it because the power went out. Everything was running great for about 30 minutes, and then the generator stopped producing power, the engine was still running but no power was being produced. Customer service with Westinghouse has been awful so far, they are nice on the phone but you don't get any support, I called August 1st and I still have not heard from them, I am not happy about this at all. I bought this for emergency and it has been anything but reliable. We have over $2k in produce in the freezer that this is supposed to help keep going during outages. Lucky the outage we had was only about an hour long.

Seems Robust and Powerful

Review Posted 07/26/2024
First, I will address the service from Power Equipment Direct. I placed my order on 7/17 and the generator was shipped on 7/19. Unfortunately, a tracking/pro number was not provided so I was unable to determine when the generator would be delivered. I contacted PED customer service on 7/22 in an attempt to obtain tracking information so I could determine the anticipated delivery date as I wanted to be home at time of delivery so the unit could be inspected for any possible damage from the shipping/handling process. An email arrived mid-afternoon on 7/23 with a pro# from R&L Carriers which indicated a 7/24 delivery date. The generator was delivered at 3pm CDT on 7/24th. The generator came via a lift gated truck as requested and the driver had an electric pallet jack, ultimately dropping the unit inside my garage...much better than the expected "curb side delivery".
The generator box was secured to two pallets at time of delivery and even though it had travelled over 2,400 miles from Lacey, WA to Spring, TX, the box and generator were in pristine condition.
In short, the customer service provided by PED and R&L Carriers was outstanding!!
Now the generator itself... I unboxed it, installed the wheels and feet, added the provided engine oil and connected the battery. Prior to starting I slowly turned over the engine with the manual recoil starter cord 5 or 6 times to pre-lubricate the engine. I hooked up a propane tank, hit the start button and the generator fired immediately. I only ran it for approx. 10 minutes with no load to ensure there were no issues...none we detected.
I intend to run the generator on natural gas with propane as a backup if necessary. I replaced my Champion 9,375 watt Dual Fuel generator with this unit. While the Champion ran well during the recent power outage caused by Hurricane Beryl, once I ran out of propane, and being unable to acquire more due the extended outage I decided a Tri-Fuel offered more desirable options. I had a gas stub installed at my gas meter and am now prepared for the next inevitable Texas power grid failure. The Westinghouse 9500TFc will power my entire house (1,800 sq ft.) once I install a soft start on the A/C system and have a manual transfer switch put in some time in the near future. In the short term I will run extension cord to necessary devices which is only a minor inconvenience.
For now, 5 stars on the service from PED and a temporary 4 stars on the generator until it is truly needed

Need Altitude Parts
By Michael T

Purchased 10/17/2023 |
Review Posted 11/10/2023
I live in Colorado a mile high above sea level. You will need a carb kit and a regulator kit. Westinghouse support is weak. They don't have the right parts to get the generator up and running. The support staff is helpless on this matter. Overall its an expensive anchor.

This is a great investment to have especially since I am on supplemental oxygen 24/7 and have oxygen concentrator at home. Has started every time on natural gas and fuel. Have not tried with propane yet.

I'm Already Telling People About It
By Buzz P
Texas
Purchased 09/06/2023 |
Review Posted 09/29/2023
For a portable generator this thing is packed with cool features. The Surge watts are 12,500, it will shut off if the CO gets too concentrated and it has a key fob style remote start. There is also plenty of power to provide for your refrigerator, lights, freezer, TV and computer etc. I'm telling my customers, who cannot have an automatic unit for one reason or another, that this is "the" unit to get.
