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

In summary, the WEN TF1450X is a powerful portable generator especially useful for:

• Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
• Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures

In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.

Power & Run Time

The WEN TF1450X delivers 120/240V and is equipped with a tri-fuel technology, enabling it to operate on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When powered by gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 11,500W and a peak wattage of 14,500W. Switching to propane provides 10,300 rated watts and 12,500 peak watts, while natural gas operation delivers 8,750W of rated wattage and 10,500W of starting wattage.

This generator can be started thanks to a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism, but also to a no-fuss and convenient 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 includes the following 6 AC outlets:

Additionally, it offers 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle offering a convenient battery charging option.

Since the TF1450X bears a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it is easily connectible to a breaker box and can power your home in case of a power outage.

Portability

Measuring L28.8 x W28.3 x H25.8 in, the classic open frame construction of the WEN TF1450X provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.

Since the generator weighs 224.9 lbs, it will be incredibly 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, the limited maneuverability is remedied with its wheel kit and its folding handle, facilitating convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.

Features

The TF1450X's control panel

For convenient monitoring of its status and activity, the control panel of the TF1450X includes a convenient meter, offering voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours readings.

In addition to this info, a light indicator allows you to instantly see if its oil levels are insufficient.

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

In terms of security, the generator features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during its 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.

Apart from the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which lets you start it right away, the WEN TF1450X also is packed along with the following accessories: propane hose, funnel, oil and tool kit. An official storage cover is also available, as a separate purchase.
