Westinghouse 6500 Watt Dual Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator, Transfer Switch Ready

This dual fuel portable generator provides versatile emergency power for home backup or recreational use. Built around a 274 cc 4-stroke OHV engine with a cast iron sleeve, it supplies dependable electricity when the grid goes down or when you are off the grid with an RV.

The dual fuel design lets you switch between standard gasoline and liquid propane. On gasoline, it delivers 5300 running watts and 6500 peak watts, while propane offers 4800 running watts and 5800 peak watts. A 4.7 gallon fuel tank with an integrated gauge supports up to 14.5 hours of operation, and a 120/240V selector switch lets you choose the appropriate voltage output for your needs.

Connecting equipment is simple thanks to a versatile set of covered outlets. The panel includes a standard 5-20R 120V household duplex receptacle, an RV-ready TT-30R 30A outlet, and an L14-30R 30A twist-lock receptacle designed for transfer switch connections. Built-in automatic safety shutdowns trigger if carbon monoxide levels rise or if engine oil runs low.

As a mechanical trade-off, minimal assembly is required before your first start, though the package includes the wheel kit, tool kit, propane hose, oil, and funnel. Because every unit is functionally tested at the factory, you might notice slight residual oil or fuel odors upon unboxing.

Verdict: This generator is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking transfer switch compatibility and flexible dual-fuel options during outages. With its included wheel kit, safety shutdowns, and dedicated RV outlet, it offers dependable backup power straight out of the box.
