Westinghouse iGen8200TFc tri-fuel inverter generator review

A tri-fuel inverter generator, including natural gas, with 6,600 running watts, a 50 A 14-50R outlet and remote start, for $1,399, sold by Amazon.

Three fuels

Westinghouse’s iGen8200TFc runs on gasoline, propane or natural gas. On gasoline it gives 8,200 peak and 6,600 running watts. Natural gas from a home line removes refueling from an outage.

Built for the house

A 120/240 V 14-50R 50 A outlet connects to a transfer switch or interlock kit, and Westinghouse names an air conditioner, a refrigerator and a sump pump running together. A 120 V TT-30R serves an RV. Power quality is under 3% THD, with copper windings.

Engine and run time

A 298 cc OHV engine with a cast iron sleeve runs up to 17 hours at 25% load on a 3.9-gallon tank. Remote electric start, a CO sensor and a digital display are listed.

Price on Amazon.com

Amazon.com listed it at $1,399.00 on November 2, 2026, with a three-year limited warranty. It weighs 134.5 lb.
