It is an impressive piece of equipment with great power with 3 different options to fuel it (which are very handy since during power outages usually gasoline is not available as much). Portable (it is heavy, but the handle and the wheel make it easy to move, instructions are very clear and the maintenance schedule is great if you are looking to keep your generator in good shape for several year! Overall is the best option out there!....and it eve comes with a remote start. Love it!
The limited amount of assembly required was very easy, and the unit started up immediately with a quick press of the start button on the remote key fob. It runs very smoothly, though I was hoping it would be a little quieter.
I have had a similarly sized generator in the past, which only had a pull start, and lacked many of the features of this Westinghouse unit. They have thought of just about everything with the generator. It's very well built, comes with a battery float charger, can run on gas or propane, and is easy to connect to individual loads or to my whole house.
At this point, I have only run the generator on gas, but it runs fantastic. I'll update the review once I get a chance to run it on propane. I'd buy this same generator again in a heartbeat.
The dual fuel capability (gasoline and propane) caught my attention, providing flexibility and options in case one fuel source is not readily available. The 12500 peak watts are more than sufficient to handle the power needs of my home, including essential appliances and electronics.
Setting up the generator was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions provided in the manual. The electric start feature makes it incredibly convenient, eliminating the hassle of pulling cords in challenging weather conditions. The compact design and sturdy wheels allow for easy maneuverability, making it simple to position the generator where needed.
One of the standout features is the automatic voltage regulation, ensuring a stable and reliable power output. This is crucial for protecting sensitive electronics from potential damage during power fluctuations.
I've tested both fuel options, and the transition is seamless. The fuel efficiency is impressive, providing extended runtimes without constant refueling. The low oil shutdown feature adds an extra layer of protection for the engine, giving me peace of mind.
During recent storms that caused power outages in my area, the Westinghouse generator performed flawlessly, keeping my home well-lit and powered. The noise level is reasonable for a generator of this size, allowing for comfortable use without disturbing neighbors.
In conclusion, the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Dual Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator is a reliable and powerful solution for anyone in need of a backup power source. Its dual fuel capability, ease of use, and dependable performance make it a valuable investment for ensuring peace of mind during unexpected power outages. Highly recommended!
Top reviews from other countries
There are only 2 small comments I would make, and 1 is something the manufacturer cannot really address without a lot of expense. The item is shipped without the the wheels or feet attached for understandable reasons, and the buyer must install them. Doing this is extremely simple and takes just a minute or 2, but the generator must be turned onto it's side to do this, and it is a very heavy piece of equipment. I am a 200lb guy and no stranger to the gym and I had no issues with this, but it is something to be aware of - if you are not able to handle heavy weights, you will need assistance to do this.
Secondly, the website I ordered from said that the generator came with a spare spark plug, which it did not. Not a big issue.
Overall, I am absolutely delighted with this generator and would not hesitate to recommend it
