6,600 running watts, 8,200 at start-up

That's the running figure the listing states, on gasoline; on propane it drops to 5,940. Write down what you'd run on a stormy night and add the biggest motor's surge: the fridge, the freezer and the sump pump fit inside that figure on paper, a 240 V well pump plus central air don't.

Why it made our list

What changes on the night the power goes out

Three fuels. Natural gas from the house line means no refuelling at 2 a.m., and it is also the lowest-output fuel of the three. The hookup is a job for a licensed gas fitter, not a hose and a guess.

Inverter, under 3 % THD. The engine speeds up and slows down with the load, so it is quieter and thriftier at 3 a.m. when only the fridge and a lamp are on. The clean sine wave is kinder to laptops, TVs and the furnace control board.

Extension cords or a transfer switch?

Extension cords: the fridge, the freezer and a lamp or two plug straight into the 120 V outlets on the frame (GFCI-protected, per the listing). It costs little, but the furnace, the well pump and anything hard-wired stay off.

A transfer switch: the listing names a 50 amp outlet, and the seller calls it transfer-switch ready. With an inlet box and a transfer switch or interlock wired by an electrician, one cord feeds the panel, furnace and well pump included. Book that visit before storm season, not during the outage.

Great for you if…

Your house already has a natural gas line
Laptops, TVs or a furnace board will be plugged in
You plan a transfer switch, or you own a 50 amp RV

Skip it if…

You simply want our top pick: that's the Westinghouse 5,000W Dual Fuel Inverter (9.2/10)

What Westinghouse promises

The seller states, word for word, in the Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter listing:

The Westinghouse iGen8200TFc is a tri fuel generator with all the benefits of an inverter, but also with home backup power and a 50A outlet.
One 120/240V 14–50R 50A outlet for home backup can run your air conditioner, refrigerator, sump pump, and more–all at once.
With less than 3% THD, it's safe to power electronics like phones, computers and TVs to stay connected during outages, or on jobsites and campsites.
Powered by a heavy duty 298 cc Westinghouse 4-stroke OHV engine with a cast iron sleeve.

The seller's claims, quoted as written; we haven't measured any of it. The noise on your driveway and the surge of your well pump are things you only find out at home.

Price and cost per 1,000 running watts

$1,399 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each 1,000 running watts works out at about $211.97 (price ÷ stated running watts, our arithmetic). That puts it in the pricier third of the 18 generators of 4,000 to 8,000 running watts we have a price and a stated running figure for.

The online price is the generator alone: the cord, the inlet box and the electrician who wires the transfer switch or interlock come on top.

The button opens the exact listing (ASIN B0FJZYLD4V), where today's price, stock and seller apply. Sizes and variants of the same family often sit at different prices.

A better fit for your load list?

Want a CO shutoff? The WEN DF8000X (7.5/10) names a CO sensor that shuts the engine off.

Well pump or central air on the list? The DuroMax XP12000EH (9.3/10) is rated 9,500 running watts.

Want to spend less? The Westinghouse 6,500W Dual Fuel (7.7/10) was listed at $579 on Sep 30, 2026.

Our take

The verdict

The Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter earns its place with 6,600 running and 8,200 peak watts and gasoline, propane and natural gas on one panel. Only 66 buyers have rated it so far (4.6/5), so treat the score as an early read. The catch with this Westinghouse inverter generator: no word on the runtime. We'd pick it if your house already has a natural gas line; otherwise, put it next to the Champion 4,500W Dual Fuel Inverter first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Fill it with oil before the first start, then run it for a few minutes outside with a small load.

The first outage

Start it with the fob, let it warm up, then add loads one at a time, the biggest motor first. Propane or gas: decide before the storm and have the hose and the tank ready.

Between storms

Run it every month or so for 20 minutes and keep the battery charged. On propane you avoid stale gas in the carburetor; on gas, add stabiliser or run it dry before storage. Our maintenance schedule has the full list.

Upkeep

First oil change after the break-in hours in the manual, then on schedule. Air filter and spark plug once a season, and a cover for the months it sits.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.6/5, an excellent record, right on this ranking's 4.6 average. 66 reviews is still a modest pile, so a handful of new ones can move it.

This ranking's average: 4.6/5

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter, check the propane rating: it is rated 5,940 running watts on propane against 6,600 on gas, so size your list for the fuel you will actually use.

Before you buy

Your load list

6,600 running watts and 8,200 at start-up, per the listing. Write down what has to run at the same time, add the biggest motor surge (well pump, sump pump, AC), and let our sizing calculator do the sums.

How it reaches the house

It has a 50 amp outlet, which still needs an inlet box and a transfer switch or interlock installed by an electrician. Our transfer switch guide explains the options.

Where it will run

Outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away (the CO sensor is a backup, not a permission). Pick the spot now, before the storm. Our CO safety and placement guide has the details.

Fuel for three days

A 20 lb tank lasts far less than a day at half load on most big units; two or three full tanks make a realistic plan. Our fuel storage guide covers storing them safely.

How it compares

Buyer reviews	66 · 4.6/5	398 · 4.4/5

Both score 7.3/10. The Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter brings more running watts (6,600 W) and a higher peak (8,200 W), so it has the edge on paper.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter any good?

We rate it 7.3/10 (good), #3 of 5 in our dual fuel inverter generator ranking. It is based on 66 buyer reviews averaging 4.6/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.

How many watts does the Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter deliver?

The listing or manual states 6,600 W running and 8,200 W peak, usually for gasoline. Size your load list against the running watts and keep the peak for motor starts; propane and natural gas ratings are lower. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements (our sizing calculator turns your loads into a running and peak pair).

Which fuels does the Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter run on?

The listing names gasoline, propane and natural gas. Output differs by fuel, so check the per-fuel running watts in the manual and whether the hoses you need come in the box. Run it outdoors only, away from doors, windows and vents.

What do you get with the Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter?

Its listing states 6,600 running watts (8,200 at start-up), gasoline, propane and natural gas on one panel, inverter power under 3 % THD, a 50 amp outlet for an inlet box or an RV, a built-in CO sensor and remote start from a key fob. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how loud it is in your driveway and how it handles your well pump's surge can't be read from a listing.

What should I check before ordering the Westinghouse 8,200W Tri-Fuel Inverter?

Your load list: 6,600 running watts and 8,200 at start-up, per the listing. Write down what has to run at the same time, add the biggest motor surge (well pump, sump pump, AC), and let our sizing calculator do the sums. How it reaches the house: it has a 50 amp outlet, which still needs an inlet box and a transfer switch or interlock installed by an electrician. Our transfer switch guide explains the options. Where it will run: outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away (the CO sensor is a backup, not a permission). Pick the spot now, before the storm.
