Lifesaver!!!!

I bought this a month ago and I am so glad that I did. Just lived through the ravages of Hurricane Ida. Lost power about 10 hours after the wind started picking up and immediately cranked up the 9500 with the starter button. The set-up had been easy - they even included a quart of the proper oil, as well as a funnel to fill it up. Ran every thing I wanted with power to spare for 15 hours without a gas refill. Made the whole event livable. Only wished I had put aside more gas - the lines at the gas station were a pain and I could have poured any I did not use into my truck.

Powerful Enough for Whole House Backup

The power company in rural areas of San Diego Country turns off the power, sometimes for days, during the hottest days of year, for fire prevention. I need sufficient power to run the A/C and the microwave, water heater etc. during those days. The remote start feature works great and the peak inrush current starts the a/c effectively. I particularly like the inclusion of a plug in battery charger to keep the battery fresh during the storage phase. The wheels make it easy to move and the folding handle is a convenient single piece design. Because of its compact size I store in the corner of the garage right next to the power panel. The high power output plug is an easy to get type (typical dryer plug) unlike the myriad of different twist and lock plus out there. I did quite a bit of research before selecting this model. Please give it your thoughtful consideration too.

This thing is a beast

This thing is built like a tank. Solid and heavy but easy to move with the wheels and handle. Unpacked and put wheels/rubber mounts on, filled with oil and gas and had it running in less than 30 minutes. Started up on first try. Took the fob to one end of my property at 75yrd and it fired right up.

Westinghouse Generator 9500

Aside from having to put on the wheels, adding oil and hooking up the battery, the generator was ready for use. Started up on the first try, powered a clock that I was using to test it and I have run it now for about an hour with no problem. A great product.

WGen9500

Living in Florida I purchased this generator to run my home in case we get another hurricane like "Irma". It will run my 3 ton14 seer air conditioner, refrigerator, fans, tv, dish washer, washing machine, stove. Not all at the same time. It's easy to move around with the handle. I'm a 68 year young woman and I installed the wheels and feet myself.

Researched Heavily

I just received this. I researched for hours on line and decided this was the size we would need in the event of an outage. My only concerns are the handle was somewhat bent inward, I had to pry it out. Not sure if that was from shipping or manufacturing.

Plumber recommended

I have set up gas lines for several of these generators and all of my customers have been very happy with the quality and performance of these generators. I just purchased one myself after the current storm and I am looking forward to using when we don't have power like we just did for 6 days.

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

Can't beat the price for the size

So far very happy. Bought and broke in to Westinghouse recommendations via HDdotcom also got a great deal from them. I'd give 4-1/2stars if i could as my concerns thus far are minor. I don't like the location of the ground terminal under the 50amp receptacle it protrudes a little for my 90degree plug but it's still fine. My other concern is that I just don't like the wheels being attached by a cotter pin. When full of gas and rolling the wheels are angled just doesn't seem strong to last a long time. All in all does what its supposed to do so far so I would recommend

Sturdy and High Quality

Finally bought one of these after a number of power outages in our area. Generator is sturdy and robust, with simple, yet thorough instructions on setup and operation. Having the versatility of three different fuel types was a huge selling point for me. I hope I don't have a situation where I have to use it, but have full confidence and peace of mind that I can rely on it if that day comes.
