SIMPLE ASSEMBLY. REMOTE FEATURE IS IDEAL

After simple assembly; tires, lift bar, and attaching the battery, it started right up. I recommend High Octane gas (93 or above). Ensure you read the instructions, step by step. Oil is provided. It is very heavy. However, the trailer arms make it so much easier to move. :-). My first Westinghouse generator. I am completing a whole home load test (1800 square feet) it should do fine. Remote starter is very convenient, and starts the generator from a good distance.

Exactly what I needed to have back-up power.

I just received the generator, shipped free of charge by H-Depot, and it was easy to get it ready for testing. After following the suggested break-in procedure, I was able to power my entire home, including the HVAC system. Now, if I lose power due to a hurricane here in Florida, I will be comfortable with AC, can cook with my electric range, and not worry about what to do with the frozen food in my freezer.

Great so far!

I had been looking for a powerful generator for a while. We had lost power for a day and a half not too long ago due to a tornado. After that a sub station close to the house had to be shut down due to it causing a grass fire. My wife and I were ready to get a generator. I had looked for a while and the reviews on this one were great. I'll try to let you all know the more I use it.. hopefully I'll never have to!

This Generator Far Exceeded My Expectations!

I live in a luxury RV in the FL Panhandle and I wanted a generator that could handle 3 air conditioners, washer/dryer, refrigerator, and everything else in the event of a power outage. The dual fuel provides an excellent option in case gasoline becomes scarce. We thing we are now prepared for any electrical outage. Excellent product! Thank you!

Very easy to setup

I setup my generator today and it's so easy. The product came with a natural gas and propane hose, plus oil and funnel. Easy startup guide, I was probably done and running the generator in 10 minutes. We bought this to power our 2000sqft home. It worked wonderfully and it even could handle the 4 ton ac starting up on natural gas!

Ready for the Florida Storms

I just received this generator. Set up was easy if you follow the manual. When adding oil make sure you do so incrementally. My unit had a little residual oil from the factory, so you likely won't need the whole quart. Pairing the remote was a breeze and start up was easy. After the break in period I will update this review. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

Great features and value

Just got it a week ago, but so far very easy to use and get hooked up. Based on other reviews, I read I think I got a really good deal on this one. It's one of those things that I hope I never have an emergency where I have to use this, but I definitely want to be prepared and I think This will power my entire home when/if the time comes!

Great so far

I bought the WGen14500TFc last year. It runs like a champ and it easily powers my entire home except for central heat/air. I don't know that it wouldn't also handle the HVAC but I may consider adding a soft start before I try. It is a little noisy but I knew that going in and it is a fine tradeoff to have this level of backup power at a good price point. Right now my only recommendation to improve the generator would be for it to come with a magnetic oil drain plug.

Great Product!

Product was quickly delivered and packed very well. Haven't had long enough to test out so that's why I give the 4 stars and not 5. I did run for 1 hour unloaded to start the break in period and took a few remote starts to allow fuel to reach the system and then generator did run smoothly. So far so good. Time will tell!

Lots of power

Provides more than enough power for my rv. Is a bit finicky about starting. Only had for 6 weeks and had problems w the clicker and now I have to run a smaller generator to charge the battery so it will start. but I'm still getting start issues. now it says needs maintenance. Cleaned the spark arrestor and plug. Getting co2 warnings when under a roof against a wall. Not enclosed.
