Westinghouse 13500 Peak 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.

This is my second Westinghouse portable generator. I'm very impressed with the quality construction and reliability of the generator. It's easy to unbox and assemble and the directions are very clear. You really only have to install the frame supports, the wheels, connect the battery with the easy connect and put in the oil. It took about 15 minutes. The main panel is very clearly labeled as to what function each component operates. Runs great. It's fairly easy to move around with the wheels on. It supplies all of the power that we need when a power outage occurs. Overall, I'm satisfied that I chose the best portable generator for my needs when I selected the Westinghouse 13500.

Best price excellent quality I would give 5 stars but it will only let you give 4 Simple to follow directions for start up. I followed the directions which was about 3 steps to have it up and running, I didn’t want to run gas in it just to test so I ran it on propane that way I wouldn’t have clean the gas out, gas will go stale and clog up, so I followed the few steps and connected propane tank and pushed the start button and it fired up instantly, I connected a few items to it to run and everything worked perfectly. Now I do not know about other brands but this Westinghouse is very top notch not only with the build quality but also the price and ease of setup. Other brands much more money and do/have less features. So all in all you will not disappointed one bit. I’m not new to generators and by far this has been the easiest to have up and running also for such a large generator it’s noise level is very low, rubber mounts and solid frame most likely have a lot to do with that. Again excellent choice and I am not disappointed one bit

Very pleased with this generator. It was delivered earlier than expected and not only that but was upgraded to the tri-fuel model for FREE!! That unit was $250 more than what I purchased!! Unit was easy to assemble and fired right up using all the different fuel sources. This beast will power my entire house which is just under 2000 sq ft. Glad I read the reviews and made the purchase.

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 just purchased this generator in early July., to replace a similar (but only dual-fuel) Westinghouse generator that was flooded and ruined by Hurricane Helene in September 2024. Needless to say, I am firmly committed to this generator brand. The basic assembly instructions (wheels, forward supports, etc.) are easy to understand and follow. Once prepared, the new generator started immediately from the remote start button and ran flawlessly without a hiccup. The previous generator was very dependable and always started and ran perfectly every time I needed it (which turned out to be pretty often, given the violent thunderstorms in Tampa Bay). The instrumentation panel on the new one is logical, intuitive, and has a large number of different output plugs from 240V/50 amp to two USB ports for DC electronics. It interfaces very well with the installed generator interlock system on the master circuit breaker panel of my home,, so I can seamlessly connect it to my "whole house" circuitry, rather than running extension cords everywhere. I won't use it to run the central HVAC (not enough power), but it will run a few portable HVAC units I've placed in different rooms and other things simultaneously, so we can sleep comfortably even if the main power is off. I short - I would buy this generator again -- and did. Hats off to Westinghouse.

Amazing generator love it have no issues have awesome power. Run time execellent didn’t fill up with the 9 gallons 4 gallons handled my situation well. Noise level wasn’t bad

Received the generator 2 days early. Took about a half hour to assemble. It is heavy, but it was easy to move and get the wheels and legs on. Be careful when pouring the supplied oil into the generator. They give you 1 and 1/4 quarts of oil, but the machine had a little oil in it, so it took just over 1 quart. Being in South Florida, I ordered the Dual Fuel model, but I got a free upgrade to a Tri Fuel model. South Florida doesn't have NG, but if I move up north (which I doubt), it's nice to have options. Along with the generator I purchased a 40 gallon Propane tank. It gets a little heavy when full, but the ease of having it in one tank is worth it. Generator started on first try and I ran it for about a 1/2 hour for testing. Constant idle, no blubbering or stalling. Build quality is great and shipping box had no damage.
