Great Generator and Great Price for the size

Have had the generator for over a month now during a long power outage. Very easy to assemble. Hardest part was putting the oil in which there is a funnel provided and just make sure you pour it in slow. Not an issue at all. Not very loud at all. Was able to run water heater and Pellet Stove while also powering all the 110 outlets in the home including Frig and Freezer. Very happy with the power output.

Great Value

I bought this last week to power my essentials (and more) during extended power outages on the Texas Grid. I live in rural area and have propane tank so dual fuel was a must have for me. Don’t want to worry about gasoline during a power outage. Assembly and setup was quick and easy. Installing the electrical interface at the house took about 4 hours. I used a “generator interlock kit” from Areisal which is basically a safety feature that requires you to disconnect the main breaker before you can turn on the generator circuit. Adding the generator breaker required rearranging some existing breakers in the home panel. I installed a power inlet box on the exterior wall opposite the main panel and connected to the generator circuit with #6x3wG romex. Generator started first try with the remote and ran for about 1.5 hours at low load before my partially empty propane bottle went dry. I am getting a plumber to install a connection to my 250 gal permanent tank soon.

Good overall generator. Will fill my needs

Generator was bought for peace of mind when power goes off. I like the dual fuel option so I dont have to store gas which goes bad. I will have lp tanks to get me started and if need generator for longer duration then I can switch to gas. It has enough power to supply my house so I can use everything.

great value

just purchase this after several days with no power and an old generator that was too small. assembled in minutes, and fired it up with the wireless remote, and runs clean, not terribly noisy, and troublefree. looking forward to next power outage to be able to run my furnace and water and refrigerators.

Very robust

I was very pleased with the quality of this unit. After all, Westinghouse invented the generator with the help of Tesla. The large wheels make it easy to move around. It was easy to set up and test. My only concern is the 'Data Center" the tiny push button to switch the mode of the display doesn't seem to meet the robust standards of the unit as a whole. It would also be nice to display actual wattage output and peaks (suggestion box). overall very excited to have it.

Great Quality Product

My order arrived without any complications and so far the quality of this generator is top notch. I only ran it for an hour so far and tested all functionality and it performed flawlessly. Once I have the need to run it more I will leave an updated review.

Great features and value!

Bought for emergencies and have started it periodically with zero issue. Works great on gasoline or propane - with remote start and trickle charge to keep start battery ready to go when you need it. Great power output options as well. Very pleased!

Outstanding portable generator set

We purchased this model generator to use as a stand by power source for our home. It runs everything in our home with ease. We have gas appliances. The 9500 DF runs furnace, lights, freezers and refrigerators along with bathroom and ceiling fans. The only thing that makes it flinch is the central air but the AC is not a priority to us. Westinghouse was not even on my radar for a portable generator until I researched deeper. Westinghouse has good reviews, longevity, and competitive prices. The generator runs very well and we are at 5600 feet elevation. The way I understand it, at 3.5% derate per 1000 feet of elevation above sea level the 9500 Watt rated generator is producing an actual Watt rating around 7638 Watts. Even at less than optimal output we can run our home on gas or propane.

great purchase

I purchased this generator on 9/26 with an expected delivery date of 10/12—by some miracle it got delivered the day after I purchased it (on 9/27) and Hurricane Ian hit our area on 9/28. We’ve been using it for 3 days now to power most of our house (not the central AC but it could power a window unit if we had one with the rest of our house)—plus in addition to our house we are running the refrigerators of both of our neighbors without any problem! It starts without issue and runs great. Excellent purchase!! We still don’t have power and don’t know when it will be restored but this generator has been fantastic through it all.

Outstanding straight out of the box.

Recently received my new generator, 12500 Watt. It took about 15 minutes to put on a couple of accessories, add the oil, connect the fuel source, and it immediately fired up. Smooth, running, not too loud, and tons of power to run the air conditioner, water heater, and the well pump all at the same time. I would definitely buy one of these units again
