Arrived on schedule

So far everything is as advertised. Ask me again in a year after it has been through all 4 seasons. I do wonder why so many generators for outdoor use and storage have electric starts and no pull start. Keeping a battery charged during a Northern winter requires special attention.

Great features!

I just received this unit yesterday. I really like the design and features. Will be finishing assembly today and give it a test run. My purchase is the perfect size for my need and portability. Being tri fuel is an advantage since I have all of them available. I’m like a kid in a candy jar today. Getting to assemble a new tool to my arsenal.

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.

Happy with Westinghouse Generators!

I'm in the process of break-in, but the generator started right up on propane. Does seem to have a rattle when under a load. We will see how it works out. I have 3 other Westinghouse generators, a iGen 4000Dfc and two iGen 2550c Inverter generators. I have had zero issues, which is why I chose the Westinghouse brand. Hopefully it stays true to for. Ordered the Dual Fuel WGen 14500 and was upgraded to the Tri-fuel, thanks Westinghouse...

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!

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!

Not working with fuel

I bought this generator in December. Tested it out this week before the storm. It does want to work with gasoline. Hopefully they can fix this problem. Should not have these issues for the amount of money I paid for it. The generator works on propane

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 so far haven't used it other than break in

We have not used this yet. We had an ice storm in January & our old Generator is to small for our new location. We upgraded to WGen14500 TFC and are planning on using Gasoline. Our electrician added a switch and a plug to the new home and we are ready to go for the next power outage. We hope this will last as long as our old 4000 watt Generac that is still running and works great. We had Natural gas at our old home and now we are all electric so we needed to get a larger generator. It was on a pallet when it was Delivered by FedEx and it took us borrowing our neighbors to small floor jack and some extra wood to get it out of the wood packing and the extra pallet. If you are buying this please be aware of the unpacking if you don't have access to floor jacks or a hoist. My husband put the tires on last once they got the wood out from under the generator because they were in the way. Once the generator was clear of all packing wood and on the supports of the wood we had he then added the tires and they slowly lowered the generator to the floor. I was worried I would not be able to move it but I had no issues at all I am 5'2 with the 2 handles and wheels. I should have taken pictures it was well packed. My husband has run it for 5 hours under little to no load per the instructions. For break in. Now we can move it outside and flip a few breaker and we are up and running the heat if needed.

Great unit

So far very happy with generator. Having remote start is very handy and the amount of power it provides will be perfect for power outages and running tools around the farm. Gave it 4 stars because I was a bit u happy with how much machine oil was on the unit and the foam handle pad was soaked in machine oil. Other than that it’s exactly what I wanted
