Expert opinion

I recently purchased the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Tri Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator and I have to say, Im very impressed. This generator is incredibly powerful, offering 12500 watts of peak power and up to 9500 watts of running power for gasoline, 11200 watts of peak power and 8500 watts of running power for propane, and 9500 watts of peak power and 7500 watts of running power for natural gas. It also features a remote start with included key fob, electric start, and recoil start so you can get your generator up and running quickly.

The generator also comes with a variety of safety features, including low oil shutdown, muffler, hour meter, tri fuel, fuel gauge, digital display, overload protection, automatic voltage regulation, remote start, CO sensor. It also has two GFCI 120V 5 20R standard household receptacles as well as one transfer switch ready 120V L14 30R and one RV ready 120/240V 14 50R outlet. All outlets have rubber covers for added safety.

The generator is powered by a heavy duty 457cc Westinghouse 4 stroke OHV engine which offers long lasting cast iron sleeve with automatic low oil and carbon monoxide CO shutdown. The generator also has digital hour meter which allows you to monitor usage easily. In addition to that the generator comes with minimal assembly required as it includes a remote start key fob 12V battery charger oil and oil funnel tool kit user s manual to get you started right out of the box.

In terms of portability the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Tri Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator is light weight at 208 pounds but it is still sturdy enough to be moved around easily when needed. The 6.6 gallon fuel tank offers up to 12 hours of run time which makes it perfect for camping trips or other outdoor activities where you need reliable power source.

Overall I am extremely satisfied with this product. Its powerful yet quiet at the same time which makes it perfect for residential use or even commercial use if needed. The safety features on this product make it an excellent choice for anyone looking for reliable portable generator that can handle all kinds of jobs.
