Very satisfied...great addition

I bought the unit in anticipation of an extended power outage related to a forecast ice storm. Although the storm was less severe than anticipated and we never lost power, I'm thankful that I made the purchase, as this had been on my list for quite a while. I tested the unit recently and everything works great. Very happy with the product so far and this will reduce anxiety for any future extended power outages.

So far so good

Just received my WGen14500TFc yesterday and put it all together. Added oil and hooked up propane to start the break in before hooking it up to house. It started in about 3-4 tries. I did run a couple shop lights and a fan on it and it did fine. Can't get the key fob to work at all tried several times. Also came with a scratch on the right-side valve cover that has the yellow oil fill screw cap on it not happy about that. Also, pretty disappointed that I can't order oil filters, air filters for it which are out of stock. Wish there was a part number I could get at my local parts store. I live 25 miles out in the country and like to have oil and air filters spark plugs on hand when I need them. I am giving 3.5 stars for now and will update this review once it gets the 5 hours break in and hooked to my house for final test run.

Great features just what I was looking to buy.

I bought the generator this week to replace my old one. It started right up and powered the house. Much easier to start than the old one. It was an easy set up and easy to use. Love that you can turn the battery off and on, also easy charging station. Looking forward to many years of use!

Awesome Generator!

I purchased this about a month ago to replace our 16-year-old generator, and I couldn't be happier! I love that it's tri-fuel—I've connected it to natural gas, so I no longer have to worry about finding an open gas station during a power outage. This has been a fantastic purchase!

Well satisfied with my purchase

We received our new generator early this morning and have it unpacked, assembled and initial start up. It was very well packed and it appears to be well made and very stout. It is heavier to move than I thought it would be (but I am almost 75 years old). It is relatively quiet as we could hardly hear it from out bedroom. I think we will need an enclosure for it so I don't have to move it. I hate to say this but I am looking forward to running it when we loose power.

I bought this about a month ago and I'm glad I did. The power goes out here quite often and I can't wait to start using it. I had a switch box installed so I should be able to power my entire house when disaster strikes.I can also power my shop as needed as well.

Great generator

Very well put together and easy to assemble. Came in handy a week after we bought it when a construction crew hit a power line that left us without power for a few days.

Well built

I did a lot of research before purchasing this unit and the reviews are great with only one weak point and that is the carbon monoxide detector. Other than that this machine is a beast just full of power and features

So far, very happy with it

Bought this two months ago and while I have not yet experienced a home black-out, I did transfer power temporarily to the generator and it ran the whole house without issue, including our central AC.
