TriFuel generator

I was amazed on how well it was packaged for delivery. Great looking unit. Unfortunately I haven't had to use it, since I received it due to several hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. Will definitely get a plumber to hook up a gas line to my generator.

Great purchase

Decided to upgrade our generator after multiple power outages. Luckily no power outages yet. Decided to fire the genny up and make sure everything was great before it needed to be used. Started up super easy. Instructions were simple. Love having the 3 fuel options. Was able to use my interlock kit and power 99% of our house with this generator. So far so good!

Solid Equipment

This generator is a solid piece of equipment. I have another well know brand that I have used in several storms, hurricanes, thunderstorms and the deep freeze in Texas. I needed one that would power the entire house, and this one does the trick. Much quieter than my other one too. Nice piece of equipment!

Awesome Power - Easy Start Up!

Bought this in prep. for hurricane season. Unit came 99% ready to go - putting on the wheels and feet were a breeze! So far, I have only done the initial start up, but was able to plug it into my 220V, and do a "dry run" of it. It was able to power up one of my central A/C units with no problem (the smaller of the two), and I also hooked up some of my essentials (fridges, t.v., a few lights/power outlets). The noise isnt as bad as I thought it would be. At this running wattage - it is what it is. This this looks like it will easily handle any hurricane that comes our way - and I am not expecting us to be out cold for a week, here in Texas again, like we were earlier this year!

Excellent Generator

I bought this generator to run most of my house including: central A/C, refrigerator, lights, well pump, pool pump. Now I do not have to worry about having the temperature in my house at 92 degrees after a hurricane! Excellent generator, very glad that I bought it!

Great generator

We bought this after the dams failed in our area. My neighbors have one similar to the 9500. I was very impressed with the remote start option. Now my wife can start it from inside the house. We're going to get the box wired for the 50amp service plug.

Solid

After a few days without power, I ordered the WGen9500. Powerful enough to run everything I needed. It showed up in 4 days when they said it would. Opened the box, everything was there; generator, wheels, rubber feet, oil, battery charger, and tool. Read the instructions. Step by step with pictures. All I needed to do was put the wheels and feet on, add the oil, and connect the battery wires. The handle was already attached and the battery was charged. Then, added fuel. Nice tank size, 6.5 gallons. Flipped the breaker switch to on, put the rocker switch to RUN, turned the fuel valve to ON position. Pulled the cord slow to prime the engine. Pressed the start button, and it started right away. Tested the 4 outlets immediately with quietestan electric chainsaw, each one worked. With the rubber feet, it didn't move from where I started it. Purposely had it on a slight incline just to find out if it would"walk". It stayed put. Also wanted to know how loud it would be. It said about 74 decibels. Fairly accurate. I have an older one that's rated for 5,000 watts which is much louder. I am going to have it be able to plug into the fuse box of the house and build a box for it to make it a little quieter. It was the quietest one in the neighborhood, even without a box over it. I like the plastic "no flat" wheels. The handle is wide with foam grip. Solidly built. Easy to move. Tried the remote start/stop. Did both first try. From the door of the house. It was in the driveway. I would highly recommend this generator.

Westinghouse 9500TFC

I purchased this generator and smart switch to use to power my house in the case of a power loss. As of yet, all I have done is put a gallon of gas in and oil in the crankcase. Fired it up once with the remote and powered a fan in my garage. It seems to work just fine. I love having the remote start and the fact that it is a tri-fuel model gives me options on what to fuel it with.

Huricane Beryl savior

I bought this generator out necessity, because hurricane Beryl knocked out our power, I got to finally test this unit. It powered my whole house with ease. I have two 240v mini split units, 3 window ac/heat units, and 1 30cu fridge and two freezers. This gen was ran on propane and did struggle once.

Great value and features

I bought it a month ago immediately after Hurricane Beryl and just completed all neccessary actions to prepare my home for running off of portable generator power. Yesterday I tested it and it managed to keep lights, fridge and 5T HVAC (with soft start installed) up and running without any issues. Generator dimensions are also a big plus as I can keep it in the garage under the workbench without any issues. My definite recommendation
