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.

I bought this a month ago as I installed a transfer switch in my house. Although I have not used it in actual outage scenario, I have tested it with the load I would be putting against the generator and it handled it without issue. There is no better generator for the power and great price point.

Assembly instructions look like someone that does not speak English natively (or well) wrote them (although they are good enough to work with and assembly is minimal). As the title states, the unit arrived with a dead battery. It seems someone at the factory forgot to turn the power off before boxing. Who knows how long it sat in the warehouse before arriving, but connecting the battery charger for an entire day, did nothing to revive it. Hoping Westinghouse will send another battery free of charge. If not, will return it. Other than that, it appears to be well, sturdily constructed. Have not tried to start it yet, pending the battery issue. Disappointed that the unit was constructed outside the U.S.A., hence not recommending others to purchase.

I'm so happy with my new generator and love the features. I plan to use propane instead of gasoline and love the fact I don't have to go outside to start it because it comes with a remote. Best idea for bad weather. I highly recommend everybody get one.

received a week earlier than initially projected. Packaged really well,all items intact, even includes a wrench for assembly, spark plug wrench, oil, and a funnel for the oil! Started right up, i used propane to test it out. I think this is a very good purchase with the tri fuel capability and all.

I bought this generator for use when i have power outages. I have only had it a few weeks but can already tell this is a heavy duty, great running generator. I fired it up and ran it the amount of break in time required. I then did a test run on the house. It performed Great. To anyone out there wanting to power their house this is a Great generator. I feel like i am totally prepared to handle any power outages.

After a couple months of reviewing different portable generators. We made the call to purchase the Westinghouse brand due to features and cost. It was delivered and very easy unpacking.. It even came with the oil and all the tools to assemble. Hurricane season is here and I am very certain it will be able to handle an needs we can give it.

My wife must have A/C in the heat/humidity we have in south Mississippi. I purchased this generator with the primary goal to run the central air conditioner. This generator easily starts the A/C pulling about 3200w during startup and running about 2500w. I slowly closed breakers and increased the load for the generator to about 8800w and it performed well. Motor and voltage recover quickly with each additional load. I did the recommended break-in for 5-hours varying the load less than 4500w then connected it to the house for the A/C test run. I have not ran the unit beyond this yet. So for so good.

Recently received this generator and I couldn't be more pleased. The quality and features are top notch, I can't think of anything else I would suggest to make it a better unit. Assembly was simple and you even get an in depth user manual that covers everything. After assembly it fired right up and I tried all fuel sources and outlets for power, everything worked great. Not real loud, very smooth, and the remote is a nice feature. Westinghouse did their homework on this one!!

I just received my new generator today. I am very impressed by the solid features and manufacturing. Very clear set-up & assembly instructions, and tons of awesome features on this product! I expect I will be well pleased by this generator... huge upgrade from my old unit.
