Quality

I received my Westinghouse 9500Tfc with no problems and setup was super smooth. Put on the wheels and added oil, hooked up to propane tank and fired up on first try. Ran very smoothly and noise was not that bad (it is a big boy). I ran for an hour with variable loads and my Power Watchdog surge protector showed a very consistent voltage. Got a 50 amp cord and had an electrician wire a generator inlet with interlock to my home panel. Planning on having a natural gas quick connect installed on my pool heater gas line out back so I can just hook up and let it go. Just waiting for the next storm…. Thanks Westinghouse

Easy setup and operation

I am extremely pleased with my purchase of this generator. It was simple to setup and even easier to operate. Before connecting to my natural gas supply, I used a propane tank and it started immediately with just the push of a button. It is very small and is easily maneuvered into position but is powerful enough for most loads in my house.

Simple and very powerful

I bought this generator because when I lose power I usually lose it for several days at a time. It set up very easily, not much to it. I ran it solo several times using the remote start. Excellent. I had my electrician install a transfer switch with ten breakers on it. Once everything was hooked up we did several trial runs. I was able to run my boiler (heat, hot water) 2 refrigerators, 2 microwaves, 1 freezer, 15000 BTU A/C, 3 TV's, and 95% of the lights in my house (Not including outlets as well). No problem at all. I didn't even bog down or strain under the load. The electrician was impressed with it. As I said this was a trial run but it performed very well.

Recieved in excellent condition

Bought the generator last month and it arrived as scheduled and was in perfect condition. Easy to assemble the few parts. Read through the excellent manual and it fired up on the first push of the starter. Everything works perfectly. It seems to be a high quality machine. I would heartily recomment it.

Good quality build

I bought this unit after a heavy rain storm and tornado outbreak downed power lines all over the county. The power was out for 48 hours and then intermittent while new poles were being placed for a total of 5 days without reliable power. I chose the 9500c to ensure I could run most equipment in the house for extended outages. I am happy with the ease of assembly and the clarity of the owners manual. Detailed instructions on short term storage and long term. There is a separate quickstart procedure sheet with a complete maintenance schedule on the back. Assembly tools are included. It is very heavy but the wheels seem very heavy duty and hold the weight, making this easy to roll out. Remember to always get bigger than you think you need so you have room to add and not have to get another generator.

WGen9500 Generator

I purchased and just recieved. It was very easy to put the wheels on and it came with the correct amount of oil (1.1l) to quickly add to the generator. After connecting the battery (through a connector), I added gas, hit the start switch and on the second try of the auto start, it fired right up. I was impressed that it started so quickly right out of the box. The remote start works great and I was able to start it from the comfort of my house.

New Generator seems pretty good

Just got this open today, put wheels on and added oil, hooked up propane it started on the second try, ran house for an hour, seemed to work well except my back up power supplies did not like the power from the generator completely, kept setting off alarm on it. Also ran generator on gasoline for 15 minutes added fuel stabilizer seemed to work fine to.

Great generator so far

Everything was simple to put together, heavy generator for sure until wheels go on then just fine. Load tested it on house good to go. If i had to pick 1 or 2 things I'd say first they only give you 1 quart of oil and it takes a tad more. Secondly they claim 6.6 gallon gas tank i think that's a bit optimistic...i over fill my 5 gallon has can cause i can so think it's more like a 6 gallon tank. Lastly, and i guess i kinda knew it, if your going to have a remote control for a start I'd say be sure it has some sort of auto choke cause otherwise what is the point.

Well built!!

I bought this during the great Texas Snowpocalypse and it arrived a few days later when the temp was back up to 70. Oh well, I'll be ready for the next one. Looks very well built and can't wait to put it to use. Very easy set up. Battery was already installed. Just add oil. Put on the wheels and feet. Took about ten minutes. I'll come back and edit if possible after I put it to work.

Great Reliability and Proven Brand

I live solar powered and off-grid in Colorado. And need a very dependable and reliable generator to keep the batteries charged for the days throughout the year with very little sunlight, as well as outdoor projects here at the ranch. I chose the Westinghouse Wgen9500c for its proven reliability and great features and look forward to a long life of service from it.
