GREAT PORTABLE HOME GENERATOR

Bought this generator as Westinghouse was recommended by our electrician. Looking for a size that could power all things needed if/when a power outage would occur. Wanted a Tri-Fuel as this will be set up for natural gas, but have the flexibility to run on regular gas or propane.

Great generator with 125Amp capability

Great generator for emergency power during hurricane season here in Florida. The ability to hardwire for 125Amp output is a great idea and Westinghouse made it easy to do. The fact that this massive amount of power is also portable means it can easily power a Welder out in the field. Add to that the Tri-Fuel options and this is truly a game changer.

Easy to set up and store. Maintenance appears easy

Bought as a backup standby unit for whole house. Tri fuel is definitely a benefit as some gasoline is not always available after a prolonged power outage. Propane is easily stored for quite some time and the ability to switch back and forth is definitely an advantage. Connected the unit to my barn and office easily and performed perfectly. I am in the process of connecting to the guest house via transfer switch which also feeds the barn I referenced earlier. Looks like a great product.

So far so good......

Just received and setup the generator. Overall its a very nice unit. Had my electrician put a hookup on my home to plug this into when power goes out....and I say "when" because it happens too often. Fairly quiet for the engine size, looks good, lots of connections. After setup I ran it for a bit just as a test. My electrician is coming back to test it on the house once my adapter cord arrives. A few items that I noticed while getting this setup which need to be addressed by the design/development team at Westinghouse..... 1. The oil funnel provided is OK but hard to get the angle to the engine fill and oil can spill back out of the provided funnel because the angle is so flat. Why not put an oil fill tube for easier access/filling for a unit at this price point 2. The oil dipstick is difficult to pull and then even more difficult to insert back without a gap that allows leaks. The wire handle is flimsy and this could be so much easier with a better design. 3. The assembly for wheels requires flat washers as spacers between the plastic wheels and step on the axle shaft. However, there is NO space to fit the washers and get the clevis/cotter pins installed so I had to leave the washers off. Just a bad design on this item. 4. Connecting the battery is a pain. The positive was connected already but the ground was not. However, you have to lay on your side on the ground and try to fit your hands inside the frame and feel for the bolt hole to assemble the nut and tighten it down. There is no room for this unless one has lady hands. Moving the battery outward would allow better and easier access to connect the battery ground. Just a few items that I noticed. None are deal killers and some are one time tasks unless/when you have to change the battery. Overall I really like the unit and looking forward to testing on the house this next week. My expectations are high for a quality unit to have as a backup generator.

Versatile, well built, high quality generator

I bought this generator during the emergency preparedness tax free weekend. I had a Generac 6500 portable generator but needed higher output and the flexibility to run off of natural gas. This is a great generator with low THD that integrates perfectly into my home electrical system!

Runs my whole house!

I'll be ready for the next extended power outage with the WGen14500tfc! I piped it up to natural gas and it started on the first attempt. After the 5-hour break-in period, I tested it to see if it would run my entire house and it did easily. This includes my 5-ton central A/C (with soft start), but I didn't run my electric oven or dryer, which I wouldn't do in a power outage anyway. Very happy with the purchase!

Power For A Stormy Day (or week)

Just received the generator yesterday and uncrated it. All the bells and whistles were there and it was packed very well for shipping. I will be running it using natural gas for fuel and I'm having a gas hookup with quick disconnect connectors and a electrical lockout switch installed Saturday. The impetus for me to purchase this particular generator was my neighbor just recently purchasing the same model (Wgen14500 Tfc). He has three refrigerators, two A/C units plus a window A/C, 6 TV's and two microwaves which he all ran simultaneously. Only after he started the second microwave did the 50 amp breaker finally open on the generator. Good enough for me!

Sence of security

We live on Padre Island on the Texas coast and are susceptible to hurricanes. We have one small generator that will operate the refrigerator. We wanted one for the house so that we could live comfortably after a long period of electricity outage. Hope we never have to use this. But, we are prepared just in case.

Powerful Generator

Bought last month to prepare for hurricane season here in the Houston,Tx area. Connected to natural gas and ran a test on the house and was able to run both ac units without soft starts and whatever else was on in the house. The generator kept up with the load and never bogged down. I am ready for the next power outage.

Well Designed Backup Generator

This unit was purchased as a backup generator since we live in a hurricane prone area. I am happy with the construction, layout, and engineering. I have tested the unit with natural gas under light load and encountered no problems. My only complaint (and the reason for not giving 5 stars) is that the package was missing a dedicated hose for natural gas operation as per the packing list. I adapted the included propane hose by removing it from the propane pressure regulator.
