Nice Generator - Missed 1 Item

No dipstick was provided. I only got 2 oil plugs. Cannot check the oil level. Disappointed in quality control for this price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Full featured whole house back-up Generator
on April 10, 2025
Posted by: DOA***DaveyCrocket

Not really having a budget for a whole house back-up generator but knowing what was the most important thing during a power outage was the primary focus of this generator purchase. You never really know exactly what circumstance your going to find yourself in when your looking to power your house because of an outage. Was your gas line taken out by a careless excavator, was there a natural disaster, or a terrorist attack? You better hope you have a tri-fuel generator if you are looking to have all your options open to you when it really counts, that's why i chose the WGen 14500TFc. With the THD <5, total steel construction, heavy duty V-twin (even has an oil cooler and oil filter), low idle control, battery maintainer, electric start, and remote start you really cant go wrong. This generator is built very well with every feature you could want. Check out the other big name manufactures and I'm pretty sure you will come to the same conclusion that i did. I didn't want the problems that come along with a permanent generator that will only run on 2 fuel types or the eventual hassle that comes with the automatic transfer switch and separate load center of a Generac style stand-by generator. If you want the best setup for redundancy, buy this Tri-Fuel Westinghouse generator, a Eaton T050N (for the 50 amp receptacle), a interlock for your load center, and a LUNTHINK outdoor generator enclosure. Don't forget to FLOAT the neutral!

Easy Setup, Solidly Built, Time Will Tell

Have to test peak wattage and both fuel types but unboxing was easy for a 352 lb machine (14500/18000 dual fuel). Beat tariffs so that's what I was happy with!

Solid Generator
on April 13, 2025
Posted by: MikeJ775
from South Texas
Bought this 2 weeks ago and ran it for 12 minutes on gasoline. Generator runs fine. Would have given 5 stars but the battery design is weak. Must remove a wheel on this heavy generator to get to the battery - there are no quick connect terminals to remove the battery. Even though my instructions say to go to the recoil start if battery issues - there is no recoil starter on this model. Battery should be located someplace other than behind a wheel for quick access to this vital component. Natural gas connector has a component that I must remove to connect to my system. Other than these items - generator appears to be solid - but I have yet to test it under load at this time.
