Westinghouse 14500 Peak Watt Tri-Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start, Transfer Switch Ready, Gas, Propane, and Natural Gas Powered

Powerful - powers up our entire 3,500 SqFt home including the larger of our two A/C units, including a deep freezer, garage refrigerator, and kitchen refrigerator, all lights, and all household items plugged into 110 outlets - without missing a beat.Easy setup, comes with everything but the power cord feeding power to the home (given a manufacturer has no idea if you need a 10', 15' or 20') it makes perfect sense that the home hookup cord was not included. Everything else is included. It is much quieter than our much smaller generator that this unit is replacing - a huge plus for my family and our neighbors.In part, we chose this specific model given it powerful enough to run A/C and freezer, 2 refrigerators, and all household outlets on natural gas, propane, and gas - we no longer have to visit gas stations to refill gas cans to keep our generator running!

GREAT PRODUCT. STARTS FAST AND EASY ON ANY OF THE 3 FUEL SOARCES. ITS NOISE LEVEL IS QUITE FOR ITS SIZE. I PURCHASED THIS TO RUN MY WELDER AND IT POWERS MY INVERTER 250AMP AS WELL AS MY INVERTER WELDER. WITH NO ISSUES. USED IT TO POWER THE HOMES BASICS DURING AN OUTTAGE. THE REMOTE START FOB IS A NICE FEATURE. THE QUALITY IS BUILT TO LAST. I LIKE THE BRIGHT BLUE COLOR WITH THE BLACK

WoW ! Arrived on schedule without any damage. Looks like a very well quality built unit. The ease of assembly of wheels and foot pads along with final start up prep was easy and enjoyable. Started right up with the remote. First test run was for a hour on propane. Powered whole house through 50 Amp breaker with installed manual transfer switch. With a Soft Start installed on air conditioner it barely made a strain when turned on with this powerful generator. The three fuel selection will be valuable in the future.

I am very happy with this generator. It solved a few problems I had with my previous generator. 1) It's push-button start (the remote start fob is a bonus). And, it started right up out of the box (after adding oil). 2) It runs off natural gas and has enough power output for my house's AC and a few rooms. 3) It has all the bells and whistles to indicate generator health and load. 4) It's not very loud. Overall, it's a solid generator that will help me get through the next storm or hurricane with the comfort of having AC in the house. Definitely a much cheaper route if you know how to wire than a whole-home generator set-up.

If you're looking for a generator to power your entire (smaller sized) house without annihilating your wallet, this is the generator you're looking for. Our 1400 ft^2 home is easily powered by the generator, including our AC (no soft start), well pump, and all 120V circuits at once. Of course every single home is different, but if you're asking yourself, "can this generator run my AC?" like I was, the answer is YES. I can't advise on how you wire it in, but just know from someone who knew nothing about electrical before taking a deep dive with this generator, this is the one you want. We plan to permanently affix this generator outside as an affordable whole house backup generator running on propane.Some general pros:- High quality construction, durable powder coating on everything- Easy to follow setup instructions- All necessary parts, including oil, to get up and running are included- Remote start is great- THD is less than 5%, which means a smoother sine wave of power output, saving your sensitive devices- Being able to easily switch between gasoline, propane, and natural gas is fantastic- LED display screen provides lots of nice data- Plenty of built in outlets if you need thoseSome cons:- This is not the generator's fault, but it's VERY loud- Very hard to find the correct spark plug, the NGK BP7ES, when replacement or first service time comes because they're discontinued- LED display doesn't always keep up with total machine operating hoursMy best recommendations would be to go ahead and get the NGK BP7ES plug installed (you can still find them on eBay) installed at your 25 hour service, along with an oil change, filter clean, as well as installing a magnetic dipstick and drain plug.If you're in the market for a first generator with some bark to it, this thing is for you!

I received this generator promptly from Amazon and they followed directions perfectly setting it down near my back gate by the garage. This was preferred as I didn't want to have to move this heavy item further than necessary. It was easy to unpack and move from that location despite being a big machine.Setup went perfectly with the instructions and I sucessfully conducted the breakin period with both propane and natural gas. The generator powered all the 120 powered tools and applicances I plugged in perfectly during this breakin period.I do have a current issue that I am waiting back to hear from Westinghouse on. The 30 amp circuit does not to work and the thermal protection switch under that plug does not seem to have a spring in it -- it is permanently depressed unlike the other spring loaded protection switches. I'll update the review after I hear back from Westinghouse.

I’m very satisfied with this generator so far. After adding oil and connecting the propane, it started up on the second crank (I forgot to turn on the propane valve on my 20lb tank initially). The automatic start function is convenient—it cranks, pauses, and tries again without needing manual intervention. While it's not whisper-quiet, the noise level is reasonable and comparable to a lawnmower running in the distance. It handled my test load without issue and seems well-built with high-quality components. There were no missing parts, and everything appeared to have passed quality control. I also opted for the extra delivery service to have it placed on my back deck and assembled, which was well worth the added cost.
