Westinghouse 14500 Peak Watt Tri-Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start,

This tri-fuel portable generator delivers high-capacity power designed for larger homes during outages, jobsites, and campsites. Operating on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, it gives homeowners the flexibility to choose their fuel supply based on availability. It features remote electric start to get the system running quickly without manual pull-starting.

Output depends on the selected fuel: gasoline provides 14,500 peak watts and 11,500 running watts; propane offers 13,500 peak watts and 10,500 running watts; and natural gas produces 12,000 peak watts and 9,500 running watts. The power comes from a 550cc 4-stroke OHV engine built with a cast iron sleeve and copper windings, which help it run cooler and extend operating life.

Runtime is generous, lasting up to 19 hours on a 9.5-gallon gasoline tank that includes an integrated fuel gauge, or up to 7 hours on a standard 20 lb. propane tank. Because it is engineered with low total harmonic distortion (THD), the electricity output is clean enough to safely run sensitive electronics like phones, laptops, and televisions.

As with all tri-fuel designs, running on alternative fuels like natural gas results in lower peak and running wattage than gasoline. Because every unit is functionally tested at the factory before shipping, you may also notice faint residual oil or fuel odors upon unboxing. The unit is EPA compliant and backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Verdict: This high-output portable generator is an excellent match for homeowners wanting versatile multi-fuel backup to keep large households and sensitive electronics powered through extended grid failures.

• Want maximum peak wattage without experiencing power drops when switching to natural gas.

What are the power outputs for each fuel type?
On gasoline, it delivers 14,500 peak watts and 11,500 running watts. On propane, it provides 13,500 peak watts and 10,500 running watts, while natural gas yields 12,000 peak watts and 9,500 running watts.

Is it safe to charge laptops and phones with this generator?
Yes, it is engineered with low total harmonic distortion (THD), making it safe for sensitive electronics like phones, computers, and TVs.

How long will it run on a full fuel supply?
It can run for up to 19 hours on a full 9.5-gallon gasoline tank, or up to 7 hours on a standard 20 lb. propane tank.

Why does the unit smell like fuel when first opened?
All units are functionally tested at the factory prior to shipment, which may leave a minimal residual oil or fuel odor.
