Review: Great buy, very reliable and versatile - Best generator - tri fuel (!!) - works great with propane, natural gas and gasoline. Best part is the Westinghouse Smart Switch power module which makes the unit fully automatic - I know of no other portable generator that is compatible with the smart switch . Once the Smart Switch senses no current in household outlet, the generator auto starts and switches the attached appliances from house current to generator current - brilliant and no electrician needed. (Note: Smart Switch max output is 20 amps). This is my second Westinghouse generator (upgraded from 7500 to 9500 and from dual fuel to tri fuel) - very reliable - had the previous one for 3 years without any issues - starts every time. When running on fuels other than gasoline the max output is less than 9500 so take that into consideration when sizing the right unit for your needs.
Review: Great for home backup power - Overall fantastic generator. It is very easy to use with the electric start. It’s not any more noisy than any other generator out there but does have some noise so keep that in mind. It came with the battery charged enough to start so that was nice. It seems well made and Westinghouse seems to have a good quality control system, so far so good. I just tried it with the manual switch to power the house and it had enough amperage capacity to handle the load of a two story house running several things. I definitely recommend this generator for anyone needing backup house power at a reasonable price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this generator power whole house including central a/c?**
A: I hired an electrician to install a 50A circuit breaker and transfer switch in my main breaker box.  The transfer switch forces one to shut off the main to the grid and flip the 50A breaker on.  He also installed a 50A twist connector outside on the house.  I ordered a 50A cable to connect the generator to the house.  If the load on the generator doesn’t exceed 50A, one might be able to run the A/C.  My A/C is on  30A breaker.  I would switch off unnecessary items and slowly switch on items that are needed, like the refrigerator, internet, lamps, etc.  I wouldn’t try my electric stove since it’s on a 50A breaker.

**Q: 12500w have a pull start?**
A: There are three options to start the Westinghouse 12500 portable generator.  Singe there is a battery, there is an electric start button and a remote key fob start in addition to the pull start.

**Q: Is this a full sine wave generator?**
A: Bill this is a "regular" generator so it is not a full (clean) sine wave generator. 

"A regular gas generators cannot produce a "clean" sine wave because they change speeds slightly during operation. When the speed changes, the wave changes slightly. This isn't a problem for regular electrical devices like incandescent lights, power tools, "basic" refrigerators, etc."

**Q: What is decibel rating of this unit?**
A: The Westinghouse 12500-watt generator is rated at 74 dBA at 100% run.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ALL AROUND GENERATOR FOR ALL PURPOSES
*by C***. on December 22, 2025*

Offers everything one would want for a backup generator. Tri-fuel, battery start, 50 amp and 30 amp service. I will run whole house, including air conditioner if needed. Delivered very quickly. Easy to set up. I have 2 others I have come in contact with mention how highly rated this equipment is. One was the electrician I used to install the transfer switch. While the generator is heavy (200+ pounds) the handle and wheels make it very manageable.
