Westinghouse 10000 Peak Watt Portable Open Frame Inverter Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready, Gas Powered, CO Sensor

I recently purchased the Westinghouse 11000 Peak Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator with Remote Electric Start, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my emergency preparedness setup. Living in an area prone to power outages, I needed a reliable solution to keep my whole house running and ensure my Tesla stays charged when the grid goes down. This generator has delivered on both fronts, and I’m genuinely impressed with its performance.Setting it up was a breeze. It arrived with everything I needed—oil, a funnel, a toolkit, and a remote start key fob—so I had it up and running in no time. The remote electric start is a game-changer; I can fire it up from inside the house without trudging outside in bad weather. Plus, the dual fuel capability (gasoline or propane) gives me flexibility depending on what fuel I have on hand, which is a huge plus during emergencies when gas stations might not be operational.For whole house backup, this generator’s 11,000 peak watts and 9,000 running watts (on gasoline) have been more than enough to power my essentials. I’ve got it hooked up to a transfer switch via the L14-30R outlet, and it effortlessly keeps my refrigerator, lights, Wi-Fi, and even a window AC unit going during outages. The inverter technology ensures clean power with low THD, so I don’t have to worry about sensitive electronics getting fried. It’s not dead silent—around 64 dBA under load—but it’s manageable, especially since I park it outside away from the house.Where this generator really shines for me is charging my Tesla in a pinch. With the 50-amp 14-50R outlet, I can plug in my Tesla Mobile Connector and get a decent charge going. It’s not as fast as a dedicated Level 2 charger, of course, but at about 20-25 miles of range per hour, it’s a lifesaver when I need to keep the car operational during extended outages. I’ve tested it with both gasoline (up to 17 hours on a 7.92-gallon tank) and propane (shorter runtime but cleaner burning), and it handles the load without breaking a sweat.One thing to note: it’s not lightweight at around 187 pounds, but the wheels and handles make it portable enough to move around my property. The CO sensor adds peace of mind, especially when running it near the garage. My only minor gripe is that the fuel efficiency drops a bit under heavy loads—like when charging the Tesla and running the house simultaneously—but that’s to be expected with any generator pushing its limits.Overall, the Westinghouse 11000 Peak Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generator has been a reliable workhorse for my whole house backup and Tesla charging needs. It’s powerful, versatile, and easy to use, making it a solid investment for anyone looking to stay prepared. I’d recommend it to anyone in a similar boat—especially if you’re balancing household power and EV charging during emergencies.

This is a great generator, it was easy to assemble and is super quiet. Easy to maneuver with a large collapsing handle with lock. Long lasting power and great quality. The design was well thought out and the value for your money can't be beat for the size. I love the remote start so I don't even have to go out to start it or turn it off.

I have had several generators over the years and this is one of the nicest ones I have owned. It is very well built with easy access panels. It only took me a few minutes to install the wheels, handle, and fill it with oil to include connecting the battery connector. It fired right up and ran very smooth and is super quiet. I appreciate the fact that it not only has a 50A twist lock plug, but it actually generates 47 amps peak which was a deciding factor in buying it. Not all generators output 50A even though they have a 50A plug. It's something to verify in the specs if you are buying one and want the 50A capacity. I also like the front panel, it is very easy to access and understand. The ECO feature is nice to have and will help to save fuel when loading is low where it drops the engine RPM's. The remote start/stop works well and I can shut the generator off from 50ft away in my house which will be handy for late evening shutdowns. It also has a pull cord for manual starting, so there is no single failure if the battery has lost its charge. Lastly, it came with a battery tender to keep the battery charged up, so there is no worrying about that. I highly recommend this generator and it is considerably cheap for it's size and features.

We recently purchased the ecoGen10000 to replace a 5500 watt portable (non-inverter). This was an upgrade in every way. More powerful, quieter, lighter, more compact and electric start. The only box this didn’t check was a floating neutral since our primary use is a home backup. But the conversion was supported by Westinghouse with instructions that were quick and easy-to-follow. That’s great customer support from a well-respected and established brand. Setup was really easy too — had oil filled, wheels and pads installed, and running within minutes. Starts smooth and runs great. Hope we don’t have too many outages but confident we’ll have power with this solid gen set on standby.

Haven't had to use it yet, (that's why 4 instead of 5) but... the build quality feels good. I put in the oil, connected the included battery and it started right up. The documentation is pretty complete, at times confusing when they refer to an item or feature with different names in different sections, but nothing crazy. It is heavy, but I'm an older guy and can move it around without too much trouble. It's also reasonable quiet. The design is good. The control panel well laid out and pretty intuitive to use ( since when you need a generator, you'll want operation to be straight forward.)

Durable long running very quiet. Easy to start. Runs the camper with no problem. Fuel last a good time. Def a good buy. It is a little heavy to pick up but has wheels and a handle to move.

Came well boxed with zero marks. I was able to easily put the few parts together and hook it up to propane in a short period of time. It's a heavy inverter but fairly easy to move around with the large handle. Comes with some inexpensive tools to put it all together. Easy to assemble.It runs quietly and frankly seems to be well designed and ready to go. I wanted the 50 Amp out to back up a panel. I need the near full capacity of this as well.
