  • Peace of Mind in a Box: I Love My Westinghouse WGen 14500 TFc Tri-Fuel Generator
Style: 18000 Watts - Tri Fuel - CO Sensor
I recently purchased the Westinghouse WGen 14500 TFc Tri-Fuel Generator, and I can confidently say it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Honestly, I wish I had made this investment much sooner—it’s one of those rare products that proves its value the moment you put it to use. From the moment I opened the box, I was impressed. Everything was thoughtfully packaged, and all the necessary components were included—no last-minute trips to the hardware store. The user manual was clear and easy to follow, and the step-by-step instructions made the setup process smooth and stress-free. Once I had it up and running, the generator performed beautifully. I tested it by powering the air conditioning units in my home, and it handled the load with ease. While running on natural gas, I did notice a brief power dip from the generator itself, but it quickly stabilized once the current leveled out. Switching to gasoline eliminated the issue entirely—the performance was rock solid, likely thanks to the higher BTU output. What really stands out to me is the generator’s versatility and reliability. The ability to switch between natural gas, propane, and gasoline gives me peace of mind, especially during unpredictable weather or emergencies. It’s clear that Westinghouse put a lot of thought into the design and functionality of this model. And here’s a small but delightful touch: starting the generator with the remote control is incredibly convenient—and honestly, it just feels good. It’s a small feature, but it adds to the overall sense of quality and ease of use. So far, everything has been excellent. The generator is powerful, dependable, and user-friendly. My family feels much more secure knowing we have a reliable backup power source ready to go. If you're considering a tri-fuel generator, I wholeheartedly recommend the WGen 14500 TFc—it’s a fantastic choice that truly delivers on its promises. ... show more

  • TONS of power but with ACHILLES HEEL!!!
Style: 18000 Watts - Dual Fuel
My gas and electrical are on complete opposite sides of the home, so a GENERAC is very expensive install for me. So I wanted to get something more cost effective until I knew if I was going to be staying in this home long term. After a ton of research I purchased this unit, and boy am PLEASED with the results. Easy setup, heavy but I had no problem wheeling it to the back yard around tight corners and obstacles, the noise is no worse in fact i believe quieter than my 5000watt husky. My home is about 3800 square feet, I have 3 AC units (3 Ton, a 3.5 ton, and a 1.5 ton AC) Inside I have a wine room with a 15K BTU wine cooling unit. I wired it the appropriate generator cable into the pools outdoor panel box using a 50AMP breaker. The following test used Gasoline: I isolated the home from the meter turning off power to the home. I turned all the breakers off in the home and then turned the generator on. Slowly I added load, first lights, fridge 1, fridge 2, then the wine room cooler. NO HICCUPS WHATSOEVER!!! I then turned on the pool pump, then turned on the remainder of the breakers but kept lights on only in the essential areas we use. THEN....I turned on the 3 Ton....not a hiccup! Then I turned on the 3.5 Ton just a little hiccup the entire home was running except for the 1.5 ton which I really dont need on if we had a power outage. I was IMPRESSED!!! I tried the toaster and the microware and no issues, they performed just as if they were on utility power. So for anyone who wants to know what you can run on this baby here ya go....tested and done! I've since installed a Natural gas conversion kit and hooked it up using 3/4" pipe, 5 feet from meter. The generator performed perfectly, however I recognize that Nat Gas will generate a little less wattage but I believe I had plenty to spare, and I could cut down on AC if I had too. Do not hesitate to purchase this generator, its not as convenient as a Generac but its just as powerful in not more and 25% of the price! UPDATE********** 08/2023 I am still ecstatic about the running performance of this unit. HOWEVER after it was used in Hurricane IDA it was turned off to change oil. When I went to restart it, to my horror, it would not roll over, just a clicking noise. Then it kept blowing fuses, and you can imagine what I had to go through to find a 20amp fuse after IDA. But finally I found one in a fuse kit from Home Depot. TIP: BUY LOTS OF 20 AMP U shaped FUSES!!!!!!!!!!!! After that I was able to get it running after several attempts. Once it actually turned over, it started immediately!!! After IDA I turned it off and then tried restarting....NOPE! A call to Westinghouse said that the starter/selenoid was likely the culprit. Since we were still in an active hurricane period I had them rush me one. Replaced it and bingo...started right away. In 2022 I took the unit out and tested it, started up right away, so sigh of relief and back into storage. 2023 I took it out to use it after a wind storm and loss of power....SAME PROBLEM....CLUNK! over and over again and then FINALLY it turns over and runs! After power restored, turned off and back on and SAME DAM thing CLUNK and a fuse pops!!! replace fuse, SAME THING!!!!! I've contacted Westinghouse and await their response. The starter is the WEAKEST LINK, there is no pull cord, so if it fails and it appears from a LOT of other reports that it is a common issue, then basically you have a USELESS generator. Hoping there is a fix for this, and what I would do in the meantime is 1) keep LOTS of 20amp fuses handy 2) an extra larger battery and 3) an extra starter/selenoid for backup PS - check your wires going to starter, I found some fraying and wrapped them with tape so they dont arc *******UPDATE 8-21-23************** Within 3 hours of contacting Westinghouse they got back to me in an email. The tech told me that they discovered an issue with the design of the starter, and that a new redesigned one is now available. They said they would send the new one out to me in a few days, and sure enough I just got an email saying it was shipped with tracking!!! One final comment, I continued to play with the unit and discovered it will RELIABLY start with some patience, a few fuses and a charged battery. Every time after 4 or 5 tries and a couple of fuses it turns over and starts immediately. So in a pinch, it will start and once it starts its a wonderful generator, but I'm hoping the new starter will solve this permanently. ... show more
