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.

Well satisfied with my purchase

We received our new generator early this morning and have it unpacked, assembled and initial start up. It was very well packed and it appears to be well made and very stout. It is heavier to move than I thought it would be (but I am almost 75 years old). It is relatively quiet as we could hardly hear it from out bedroom. I think we will need an enclosure for it so I don't have to move it. I hate to say this but I am looking forward to running it when we loose power.

Great Generator

The Westinghouse WGen14500c is a powerful and reliable generator that works great for home backup power or heavy-duty job site use. With 14,500 running watts and 18,000 peak watts, it provides enough power to run major appliances, tools, and even multiple household circuits during an outage.
One of the features I appreciate most is the remote electric start, which makes it easy to start the generator from a distance instead of pulling a cord. It also includes several outlet options, including 120V, 240V, and a 50-amp outlet, making it compatible with transfer switches and large appliances.
The generator runs on a large 10.5-gallon fuel tank and can operate for around 11 hours at half load, which is excellent for extended outages. The built-in CO sensor, low-oil shutdown, and overload protection also add an extra layer of safety.
While the generator is very powerful, it is also large and heavy (around 350 lbs), so moving it around can take some effort. The noise level is about 74 dB, which is typical for generators in this power class but still noticeable.
Overall, the WGen14500c is an excellent choice for anyone needing serious backup power. It’s durable, easy to operate, and powerful enough to keep a home or work site running during outages.

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!
