Great features

I purchased to mitigate power outages due to hurricanes. Not had to use yet. Main reasons for purchase were ability to connect to home, multi fuel, and remote start option. It is on wheels and has handle so I can move it into place as needed with enough amperage to run essential services of home.

Great Value in a whole house unit

Everything has worked smoothly and operation is very straightforward. This is a high output solid unit. I only gave it 4 stars because there should have been a quick start guide rather than sifting through the manual for information needed to get going.

Easy to use

I bought this generator a few weeks ago. I have yet to use it in an emergency but I am sure I will be able to run this even when my husband is not home. The electric start button and remote work like a charm! I now feel safe with hurricane season in full swing. No doubt I will be able to run all my important appliances and still have enough to power an AC which is a must in the Texas heat.

Easy to set up and use!

The unit came nicely packaged and was easy to unpack. Directions are very concise and clear and I was able to have it up and running within about 30 minutes. The push button and remote start are amazing. Definitely would recommend. This unit is large enough to handle the total load required for my home.

Great Buy!

We FINALLY caved in and bought a generator. After extensive research and asking friends we decided on the Westinghouse WGen9500. I mean, it's Westinghouse, been in this business forever. This generator is also number one in the top 10 Generators. We have only used it twice bc of power outages. We moved into a house that is already wired up to support plugging it in and running it. We have run everything in this house and not one time has it tripped. This thing is a Godsend. With the way things are going it's extremely important to have something that will give you the electricity to live your daily life. My mother who lives a few houses away is diabetic and I'm glad she can come here during an emergency and have a cool place to store her medication.

Easy to set up and use.

Just received this, and easily installed wheels and feet. Added oil and a little gas and it started on the first try. I had tried a duel fuel model, but was not happy with it. It does weigh a little over 200 lbs, but easy to move with the wheels. I should not say that I can't wait for the power to go out to give it a work out, but I am positive that I will be protected with this unit.

Power and Quiet - My Electrician has the same one

I bought this to provide power during a hurricane which are frequent in Florida. When I got an interlock switch wired to my panel, The electrician said that he uses the Dual Fuel version and recommended them, and it was sufficient to run his Central Air on a 1800 sq ft home. I have not tried to test yet, but knowing that was very convincing coming from the electrician

Great Product

I bought this January/24. As a backup power source Only used it a few times for about 3 hrs each time, after break in process, I couldn't be happier with performance so far. I also own the igen4500 inverter generator, that I use with my Travel trailer, for several years so there was no hesitation to buy a westinghouse for my home backup..

Big Dawg Generator

Bought this after several days of power outage and rolling blackouts. With 9500 running watts I can run a bunch of stuff. Learned that the 30 amp and 50 amp plugs can be split from 240 to multiple 120 volt circuits with the proper generator cords (Westinghouse cords on the way!). Big enough to help my neighbor out if needed. Coolest feature is the remote start and stop.
