Great features, great price.

Bought this mid August after having a power outage for 6 days. We decided we do not want to be without power that long again. We are hooking this up to natural gas but tested it on propane and it worked perfectly for our whole home, except for running the air conditioner which we can live without. We live in a rural area and are on well water and this ran our well pump with no problem. Was easy to install the electrical into the main power panel. As much as we hate to say it waiting for the next power outage to put everything to the test.

Peace of Mind Generator!

My husband researched several generators, including this one, which was also recommended by the electrician who installed the transfer switch. He loved the tri-fuel feature as well as it's easy start-up and many other features that other brands don't have. It's heavy, but fairly easy to move around with the wheels., and with it being a 12500 watt, it will be able to handle quite a bit in our home should we need it to. Here in Florida, we feel much more secure knowing we have it ready to go at a moments notice.

Nice looking generator

Looks like a very nice generator. Haven't used yet but everything looks easy to use. We bought this because it has a remote start and a push button start so I can start it if my husband is at work and I need it like last year. Has place for different stuff to be plugged in and charged at the same time.

Great Generator

The Generator was delivered promptly and they took great care while delivering. It was packaged very well and the directions were very clear and easy to follow. I am in the process of setting it up so I have not turned it on as yet. I am sure it will live up to my expectations.

Good so far

Ok to set up, although, for the natural gas connection it requires a special fitting like the one for a stove. The plumber doesn't carry those with him so it required a run to the hardware. That gas line fitting should be included. It runs, and generates electricity. Living in a city in Ohio, I may never have to use it, but now I have it for my Bipap, O2 concentrator Refrigerator, etc. Enough outlets the neighbor could use it too.

Big Daddy

I've had a few smaller generators, but decided to step up and get a unit to run my entire home. Electric start is slick, started up on third try with the auto start, did a quick run with leaf blower and bam its ready to go. Well,,, its loud , but again its a 457CC engine c'mon that a motorcycle engine!

solid built

looks like a solid built generator, heavy, which is good, easy to operate, manual easy to follow, runs steady not rough, not loud, minimal vibration, have not plugged into fridge, fans or anything in house, only circular saws-15amp worm drive, did run items like hairdryer, toaster etc., will probably install transfer switch and interlock at a later date, looking forward to making most of it's power output, am very satisfied with unit, after hurricane IDA came thru I new it was time to buy one.

Easy Setup

This generator was exceptionally easy to set up and start using. It took me less than 15 minutes to get the generator unboxed, assembled and filled with oil and gas. It started up immediately using the push button start. I shut it down and tried the remote start which also worked perfectly. I then plugged the generator into my transfer switch and was able to power my water pump, air conditioning and all my 120V devices that I normally leave on (modem, router, TV, ceiling fans, etc.) with no apparent strain on the generator. I live on the North Carolina coast and bought this generator for backup power since hurricane season is approaching. I hope I don't need it, but I now have a little more peace of mind knowing I'll be able to shower, cook and watch local news if we do lose power for several days like we did with Florence.

Great Generator

I just bought this W Gen 9500 generator & I'm very impressed with how easy it was to assemble & it including all the accessories/ tools you need to maintain it. After completing a simple set up, the generator started right up with no hesitation even w/ the remote start. Thank you Westinghouse for making this generator package.

Perfect Size Generator

I purchased this generator less than a month ago. It arrived perfectly intact and assembled within 20 minutes. I easily followed the directions and started it up within the hour that i unboxed. I don't have a load on it yet but will report back once it gets wired to a transfer switch.
