   Westinghouse TFc10500 Tri Fuel Portable Generator
   Purchased this generator to use as a whole house backup after having dealt with several recent outages thanks to the oh-so-reliable Texas grid. Got a great price from Amazon and ordered over labor day weekend but was not expecting to see it for at least a month or two due to it being back ordered. Surprisingly I received a shipping notification from Amazon after only about two weeks. While this was great, the delivery company took almost two weeks to deliver and required three resets of the delivery appointment time which was a bit frustrating. Upon delivery the box had some tears and bruises so i wanted to check it out before accepting. The delivery guys were very patient while I opened the box and unpacked enough to determine that the generator was in pristine condition and had suffered no damage during shipment. Documentation is good and assembly to make run was very easy. Since hurricane season is winding down and the unit will hopefully go immediately into storage I used propane to test and do the break-in. The battery was pretty much fully charged and the unit started up on the first try. I am using a 50 amp inlet box and a interlock device on my breaker panel. The unit so far has run the majority of my house without showing any sign of strain or stress. Pending installation of a soft start device i have not tried to run a 3 ton central A/C unit, but with what I have seen so far I believe this generator should be able to handle it without a problem.
   The generator comes with pretty much every accessory needed. Although it weighs 230 lbs. the wheel kit and handle make it easy to move around. It comes with a propane hose with regulator in addition to a natural gas hose. Everything needed (except fuel obviously) to get this unit running was included in the box! So far I am very pleased with everything about this generator. It looks great, runs great, and comes equipped with every option I think I will ever need.
   Post testing update: During break-in and further testing I noticed that based on the on-board meter the no-load frequency was running about 63.5 Hz and with about 50% load only dropped to 62.8 Hz. This seems a bit high to me. I have battery back-ups on all of my computer equipment and all of them alarmed and kicked over to battery power whenever the frequency got above 62.9 Hz (The back-ups are all spec’d. at 60 +/- 3 Hz). I contacted Westinghouse support and asked if there was a way to reduce the generator rpm which would reduce the frequency. They advised that there was not a way to reduce the rpm’s and furthermore that this unit was not designed to power “sensitive” electronics and that I should upgrade to a unit with lower total harmonic distortion or an inverter generator (both more expensive). I am very disappointed in this resolution. As this unit is advertised to be used as a home emergency back-up generator I think hey should be more upfront about its limitation to power electronics (almost every appliance in a modern household has electronic controls now). Also I cannot believe that they would produce a motor that does not have some way of adjusting rpm which would directly control the output frequency and voltage. While I do still believe that this is a powerful and quality generator, I am not comfortable that I am getting correct information from Customer Service and if I am, I am not sure this is a generator that should be used to power a home without risking damage to appliances.

   Works Awesome!!
   Highly highly highly recommend! First time buyer of any portable generator. Saw the great reviews and decided this was my choice. I purchased the Westinghouse 13000 Peak Watt Tri-Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The standout feature for me is its ability to run on natural gas. Not only does this save me the hassle of constantly refueling with gasoline or propane, but it’s also more cost-effective and convenient, especially during extended outages. I ran the generator for 8 days straight during the aftermath of a hurricane. My natural gas bill for the 8 days straight was $80. Wow! The generator truly proved its worth providing power for 4 window units, 2 refrigerators, washer and dryer, internet, Directv, plus countless lamps and devices. Insane!!
   The setup was super easier and its electric start is another fantastic feature that saved me time and effort.
   Whether you’re looking for backup power for emergencies or a versatile generator for other needs, the Westinghouse 13000 Watt Tri-Fuel is a top-notch choice. Highly recommend it for anyone who values reliability and convenience!

   Great product!
   Absolutely thrilled with my new generator! From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell I was dealing with a high-quality, reliable piece of equipment. It’s super easy to set up and get running—everything is intuitive, and the instructions are clear. I was amazed by how quiet it is compared to other generators I’ve owned. Even when it’s running at full capacity, the noise level is minimal, which is such a relief during extended use.
   The power output is incredible! I’ve used it to run multiple appliances during a power outage, and it didn’t even break a sweat. The fuel efficiency is top-notch, so I’m getting longer runtimes without constantly having to refuel, which is a huge plus. The build quality is sturdy and solid, and I can tell this generator is made to last.
   What really impressed me, though, was the advanced safety features. It has an automatic shutoff for low oil levels and overload protection, which gives me peace of mind knowing it’s running safely. Plus, the portability is fantastic—thanks to the ergonomic handle and wheels, I can move it around easily, even when it’s full of fuel.
   In short, this generator has completely exceeded my expectations. Whether you’re using it for camping trips, RV adventures, or in case of an emergency, this is a reliable and powerful machine that will get the job done. Highly recommend!

   Great Purchase!
   Our fist generator. It was delivered in perfect condition and came in two days! The directions were clear and easy to follow. It started right up, no issues. We also like the flexibility of running it either on gas, propane, or natural gas. And the remote start is so nice! Excellent purchase!

   Excellent Quality and Easy To Use
   Absolutely thrilled with my new Westinghouse Portable Generator! The generator is built from high-quality materials and the setup was incredibly easy. The power output is reliable, and it runs surprisingly quietly for its size. We purchased it for backups during storms, and during our first power outage, it kept our essential items running smoothly. Highly recommend this generator for anyone in need of a solid, portable power solution. Great value for the price, and I feel confident it will last for years!
