packaged really good,not a scratch.was easy to put wheels and rubber feet on but I used a chain hoist to get it off the ground,maybe two people could handle it,but I was alone.poured oil that came with it in,hooked up propane,and it started right up.the only thing I plugged in was a drill.when I get the 50 amp plug and 50 amp extension cord I will try more.i have no doubts that it will do what its supposed to.impressive machine

Just took the unit out of the box and it won't start. Fully charged the battery with the trickle charger. Engine still won't turn over. Plus, it has no manual start option, so I'm dead in the water. Hope this storm doesn't cause the power to go out.

Generator works great. Powers the whole house, including AC, while running on natural gas. Only issue I had was connecting it to my 3/4” gas line. Apparently this now comes with a 5/8” outer diameter threaded fitting, and I had to combine a few different adapters to connect it with my gas line. Also, the manual and the listings online don't give CFH or BTU requirements for running on natural gas, but fortunately I was able to find it in the reviews. This is information that should be in the item documents

I bought this generator a week ago with plans to setup powering our 3000sq ft home as a whole house generator. It didn't disappoint! After several weeks of research and seeking references from those that own portable whole house generators I landed on the Westinghouse Tri Fuel 14500. I liked its flexibility of fuel sources and the setup plans I had included running off our home's natural gas meter through a quick disconnect setup. This generator comes with both a natural gas hose and a hose with regulator for using LP gas. When the generator arrived my electrician was here installing an interlock switch in my home power distribution panel and 50amp weather rated receptacle outside. I quickly assembled the wheels and rubber feet on the generator and rolled it off the pallet. I had installed the quick connect to the gas meter that morning so everything was ready to go. Before starting the generator I followed the generator manual instructions, added oil, which it comes with, and connected the battery. Next was pairing the key fob . Once I had everything ready I connected it to the natural gas fuel source and started the generator. The generator started up with no issues. As the manual instructions confirmed the generator needed to be run for 5 hours under a light load to allow for break in of critical parts before handling heavy electrical loads. The break in time completed the day. The following day I conducted a power outage simulation. I hooked up the generator to the house through the 50amp locking receptacle with 50amp 25' power cord. Fired up the generator and flipped the main breaker off on the home power distribution panel. This allowed me to slide the interlock device so I could flip on the 50 amp generator power breaker. I had also flipped off the 50,49 and 30 amp breakers. This was done to avoid placing too heavy of a load on the generator. The generator powered all of the 115 volt outlets and lights in the house with no problems. Next up was to test the generator powering our 5 ton AC with the lights and receptacles on. I flipped on the AC 50amp breaker and turned down the thermostat. The AC started and you could hear the generator grunt once and drop in running tone but know issues! The generator powered everything including the 5 ton AC unit at the same time! What a beast! Keep in mind, I did install a hard start kit on the AC before performing this test to lower the start up amp requirements from the AC compressor. I don't think the generator would have powered the 5 ton AC without this modification.

I bought this generator less than 2 weeks ago and have no need to use it yet but I know that it will be a blessing to have when my power goes out. It is worth the money and the peace of mind knowing that all of my power will work except for my hvac system.

Purchased the first generator and took over a month for Westinghouse to send me the correct adapters, hose ect. This took five different phone calls and deliveries. When I fired up the generator for the first time it leaked gas and would not start. More phone calls. Eventually they sent me a new generator, and all is well. The generator is working well and is power my entire house (3600 sq/ft). I am happy with the product but what a journey it was

Hope it works better than a smaller gas Westinghouse I bought. Had to take in for repairs twice in the last year, right when I needed it. Would not have purchased a Westinghouse again, but reviews are good and I need a bigger tri-fuel unit and westinghouse was the only one with everthing I want

Bought this recently. Seems to be everything I need to keep most of my home running during/after a hurricane

It is very rugged and am just installing but but am sure I will be just as happy with the bigger generator as I am with the smaller one, more so.

Just picked this generator Up, I had great reviews. Best part I got it within four days Deliver to my house. 350 pounds a little loud but I'm in love with it
