Great Generator
on March 10, 2026

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.

Well satisfied with my purchase
on March 11, 2026

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.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We just received our brand new Westinghouse WGen 14500DFc Generator. We are in the process of building a pad and shed for it. We are excited to get it installed and test it. No more worries of power outages ever again.

Whole home capable

Just bought the generator. So far I am well pleased. The set up was not difficult, but I will say the illustrations on the set up sheet could be more detailed. As expected, the unit is heavy. Could be more easily maneuvered with 4 wheels or having the two wheels located for better balance but we can manage it and should have no problem meeting our power needs. After the electrician finishes setting up the transfer switch we will be good to go.

WGEN 14,500 TFc

I bought about a month ago. Only run to charge the battery. Run well, should have researched better. Not enough watts on propane for what I really wanted. The sizing is misleading.
