WEN TF1450X - 11500/14500W Tri Fuel Generator With Electric Start

In a few words, the WEN TF1450X is a powerful portable generator perfectly suited for:

• Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
• Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials

The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.

Power & Run Time

The WEN TF1450X delivers 120/240V and boasts with a tri-fuel technology enabling it to utilize gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When powered by gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 11,500W and a peak wattage of 14,500W. Upon using propane, it gains 10,300 rated watts and 12,500 peak watts. Its operation with natural gas provides 8,750W of rated wattage and 10,500W of starting wattage.

Its starting mechanisms include a conventional pull-start mechanism and a convenient and efficient electric starter (battery included).

The TF1450X, with a fuel capacity of 8.2 gallons, reaches a run time of around 12 hours at 50% load utilizing gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.68 GPH). Alternatively, it can reach a run time of around 6 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.78 GPH) with propane.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 6 AC outlets:

Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which you may charge your batteries with ease.

Due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the TF1450X is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.

Portability

At L28.8 x W28.3 x H25.8 in, the traditional open frame structure of the WEN TF1450X ensures stability while facilitating convenient maintenance access to components and promoting air cooling. The generator is designed for outdoor use and demanding environments.

Since the generator weighs 224.9 lbs, it could be potentially be difficult to manually lift it and transport it, even though it is technically considered to 'be portable' (in the sense that it is movable). However, its challenging mobility is solved by its wheel kit and its folding handle, which will ease its displacement, once it is on the floor.

Features

The TF1450X's control panel

The control panel of the TF1450X includes a convenient meter showing you voltage, frequency and lifetime hours, helpful for the monitoring of its status and activity.

In addition to this info, a light indicator allows you to instantly see if the oil level is too low.

The fuel level of the generator can be determined quickly, easily, and conveniently with the help of its built-in fuel gauge.

As far as security is concerned, the generator comes with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), providing peace of mind during use.

The unit also benefits from WEN's CO Watchdog carbon monoxide detection. This system measures the accumulation of poisonous CO gas while the generator is running. If the level of CO gas gets too high, the CO Watchdog system will automatically shut down the generator.

Alongside the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) for quick setup, the WEN TF1450X is bundled with additional accessories: oil, propane hose, tool kit and funnel. An official storage cover is also available, as a separate purchase.
