Beware of High Altitude

If you live at high elevation (above 5,000'), you may want to reconsider using the Propane/Nat Gas fuel options because the parts kit does not exist, and Westinghouse does not have an ETA for restocking. So all you can do is order the High Altitude carburetor kit and burn gasoline. Not much of a value when you only get to use one out of three fuel sources at high elevation.

Great Tri-Fuel Inverter Generator at a Great Price

I needed a new generator to power my house during preemptive power cuts we are going to be continuing to experience here in CO when the winds pick up. I do not have long term usage with this generator but initial impressions are very good, and this isn't my first inverter generator. This tri-fuel inverter generator will simultaneously run my 240V well pump, refrigerator, hydronic heater gas boiler system, some lights and my microwave while being powered by propane. I have not tried this with gasoline or natural gas yet but really pleased I have those options as I intend to get a NG line ran to be able run this generator via NG. The generator is not overly loud when running, the size is manageable since it comes with wheels and handle already installed. Very pleased with this purchase so far!

Upgrade To iGen8200TFC Generator

After using the Westinghouse iGen5000DFc last winter during a storm related power outage, I decided to upgrade to a larger Tri-Fuel generator to provide 50amp service to the whole house using an interlock switch. My first generator ran flawlessly for two days, keeping two refrigerators, a freezer, two 500watt heaters and several lights all humming along on one 20lb LP tank. Since my new generator is tied into our main circuit box, I can now choose which circuits to keep on. No more extension cords running around he house and I can run the furnace as well. I would recommend purchasing the canopy if your generator will be out in the elements. It is a two person job to assemble, but it does the job keeping it protected.

Quiet and great fuel options!

Purchased this generator mainly form it's low decibels (especially in eco mode). I also like that it can run on three different fuel types. Remote start is a nice feature (remote came already paired). Another main reason I purchased this generator is for the clean sine wave it produces for the longevity of my electronics.

Great features

I got this to power the majority of my house when needed. The features, quiet rating, and multiple fuel options is what sold me. Nice compact machine that I can fit under my work bench while storing. I will be able to plug this directly into my home since I had the electrician wire in a plug that also goes through my breaker box when we built our home.

Quiet and Capable

Even though we live in the mountains, we generally have very reliable electric service, so this was purely a planning purchase, hoping it seldom gets used. We went with the iGen8200TFc Digital Inverter Generator because it has great reviews online, has enough power to run everything we need (well pump, lights, outlets, frig and freezer), is super quiet, is very portable, has low THD, has a 50 amp outlet and runs on multiple fuel types. I work on lots of small engines for friends and this design solves many of the gripes I mutter when working on those older pieces of equipment. Those include a permanently attached oil drain hose, so no spills when changing oil. It also has a tube installed to easily drain the carb bowl to keep stale fuel out of that important part. Those are clever and appreciated! It fired right up out of the box and is amazingly quiet. Very happy with our purchase!!

Initial (positive) review of igen8200Tfc generator

I bought this igen8200tfc tri-fuel inverter generator at appx 30% discount 3 weeks ago during (Jan 2026) polar vortex. The thousands of reviews showed it has an unusually positive rating, 4.8/5 stars at one major vendor and 4.9/5 on another. We never lost utility power, so I'm just now registering and then doing break-in procedures later today. I did the inventory and inspection. It came with a REAL full-size manual! Its about an hour to fully read it/bookmark it, but the manual is very readable and well-illustrated (Thank You, Westinghouse!). I charged the battery overnight with the supplied trickle-charger. Added the supplied 10w30 engine oil (the supplied flexible screw-in filler funnel worked great to prevent any drips). So far everything looks correct per my inspection of connections, housing, panels, etc. Overall looks good. It is definately a quite heavy (135lbs) item, but for its power output level (6,600 RUNNING watts) is relatively light. I am able to lift it, but will be using ramps to load it in the back of my 2004 F150 bed. It's height (22 inches) just barely fits under my tonneau cover, but will transport just fine. (Sweet!). I just wanted to register it prior to first break-in startup. Wish me luck. I will try to update this review (presently 4 out of 5 stars) over time if this site will allow updates.

8200 Tri-Fuel Generator with CO Sensor

Bought this as an upgrade to our 30 year old Yamaha generator. This new 8200 Tri-Fuel Westinghouse Generator is awesome. Set up was easy and started right up. Love the remote start which was pre-programmed and so easy to use! Everything was inc. that was necessary for start up; Oil, oil funnel, tool set, remote w/charger. Battery charger is located in the front of the unit for easy access and shows when battery is fully charged. Also has both a 30 and 50 RV Amp plug in for RV's. Handle and wheels great for moving. Will mostly use fuel, but the ability to use natural gas or propane is a plus and an easy flip of a switch to change. Well thought out design. Great unit and would highly recommend.

Versatile generator

Bought this just in time for an ice storm and couldn't be happier. Setup was easy, and I had it running quickly for the break-in period ahead of the storm. It runs quietly and smoothly on gasoline, and I plan to use propane overnight if needed. I'll probably add a natural gas hookup before the next storm for maximum flexibility. Very impressed so far.

Great Size

Was looking for a generator that ran on natural gas and had enough watts to do minimal whole home backup, fridge, lights, internet, light my gas fired boiler etc. No big AC systems or electric appliances. This one fit the bill, hopefully we never need it, if we do, its here.
