Great temporary Power Supply

This generator was purchased to support the construction of my new house while awaiting Duke Power to deliver power to the site. The generator provided all of the power that my subcontractors required and never skipped a beat. Excellent product! It is now in place as a back-up power supply for future power outages.

EASY SETUP

Bought last month but haven't had to use it yet during a power outage. Very easy to get set up(helps to have a strong grandson). Started on my 1st attempt, runs smoothly and relatively quiet. Oil fill could be a bit more convenient. Nothing missing and can be moved about relatively easy, even for an 80 yr old man. Very happy so far but willing to wait for the power failure to put it to the ultimate test. My electrician was impressed.

Perfect for power outages in Fl.

We purchased this after riding out a few Hurricanes/tropical storms in the dark after the power was cutoff to the neighborhood. Luckily we haven't had to use it in an emergency but have thoroughly tested it fore performance (under load), and we're liking the response from this unit! Also the remote start is a great feature as going out in the dark to pull start a machine is a real pain in the backside.

Westinghouse TriFuel Generator

I had previously bought a single fuel generator in error, had to return it since the TriFuel has so much more to offer. I have it in my garage for now, once we install it I know we will love it since we will have more options on the type of fuel it will consume.

Saved Us During Northern California Blackouts

We bought this generator after being without power for 48 hours. It handily powered our refrigerator (720 watts), microwave (1100 watts), multiple lamps and battery charger. There is capacity to spare. The electric start is a super convenient and reliable. There is even a remote control fob so that you can start and start the generator from inside. This generator is extremely well made. As an electrical engineer, I am quite impressed with this Westinghouse 9500 generator. Be sure to follow the instructions to ground the generator since it is equipped with GFCI outlets.

Great Generator for the Cost

I bought this unit as a backup for my entire house, I hadn't used it for an extensive period of time until Hurricane Ian came through knocking out power for several days. This unit powered my house and ran perfectly the entire time. I had neighbors coming by the house to recharge items and provide electricity to my neighbor to keep their refrigerator working.

Shipped and Handled Poorly

Luckily we haven't had to use the generator since we bought it but it appears to be solid. Followed the simple assembly directions for the wheels then added oil and fuel. She started right up with a push of the button and ran beautifully. Did notice rust blisters on the top of the control panel so that will have to be sanded down and repainted at some point. Biggest complaint was with the shipping. The generator was clearly stored upside down because although they drained the oil, the little bit left inside ran out and was all over the top left corner and the control panel. The frame rail was also all scratched up (More Painting Will Be Needed) and the silica bag placed in the box was torn open and the silica beads were everywhere. Had to ensure none got into the generator before starting.

Excellent options

Recently purchased this generator. Started right up out of the box! The price was good and should be able to power everything I need in the event that I need it. Until then it tucks nicely into a corner of my garage. Even the petite members of the family can move this around as needed.

Perfect Generator for all

Tri-fuel was important to us as when we lose power, gas stations are closed and we don’t want to store large quantities of gas in our garage. The natural gas option provides us endless power for long durations. Electric start is great, plus it has a battery charger to insure it is always prepared.

Great features for the price with a reliable name.

I’m very happy with this investment for a number of reasons. This model will be able to run house including AC! The key thing I was looking for was tri-fule capability. Gas and propane is good for quick and short time use cases, but natural gas gives me flexibility for long term outages. I live on the gulf coast of Texas so I want to be able to run this for multiple days if needed. I will be building a weather proof shed on my property for storage that will open up for cooling and ventilation. I will be able to run a natural gas line to the shed so that I can turn it on quickly and not worry about fuel during those longterm outages we can get in hurricane season. I’m also very comfortable with the Westinghouse name and the warranty offered with this unit. I hope to send some pictures when I have the shed built.
