I purchased this after the recent hurricanes and was very happy it was in stock. The gauges are easy to read and there are ample plug ins. Can't say I am excited to use this, because that means something bad has happened. However, I am thankful I have one of the best generators on the market, if/when needed.

My purchase of Westinghouse WGen9500 generator was determined by power and reliability. This product meets the need to power all my household products in case of electricity outage. It has features to assure reliability and durability, like outlet covers, full metal frame, and fuel gauge and shut off. The wheels were easy to add, and a funnel to add oil was provided. Warnings were clearly marked. This product should last me a long time.

Couple of items during setup worth mentioning for future owners. First, the oil supplied is 1.16 liters which the tag says is the capacity. After putting oil in and checking level it was below the level for operation as shown in the owners manual. I added more until mid way in the operation range, didn’t measure how much but probably closer to 1.4 liter total. Second item was the owners manual tells you to connect the battery cables but were already connected? What it didn’t tell you was the cables have a modular plug which is tie wrapped and tucked up under the sheet metal so not obvious. Only after a no start and beginning to troubleshoot did I find the connection. Started on propane for initial run, fired up after a few turns and ran smooth. Plugged in a space heater to check for picking up load and all is well. Did not test 240V connection, still need to install my transfer switch then give it a try to see how well it carries bigger loads. So far meets my expectations.

My electrician recommended this generator to me, and he was able to install a manual transfer switch for my breaker box to allow this generator to power on my necessities during outages. After a walk-through on how to use it, I am comfortable with power this on by myself to make it through outages. We simulated a power outage at my house, and everything worked perfectly as i wanted it to. Super happy with the product.

I haven't used this yet for a power outage but i've had many outages in the past and my smaller generator was large enough. This one is almost double the size of what i had and it has so many extra features. I can't wait to use this the next time the power goes out. Easy to start, holds lots of gas and its dual fuel.

We bought this generator for a dual purpose, home backup and for dry camping in our 42' fifth wheel camper. the auto start feature is awesome, as is the auto choke, for when needed. with the dual fuel capabilities, we can use it on propane when in our camper, or with gasoline while in a standby mode for power outages at home. The different outlets and amperage available allow us to access the power we need,anytime, anywhere. The handy battery charge/ maintainer was a pleasant surprise, as there will be times where it will not be used, and keep our battery up. the pull start feature lets us have power available, in case of a battery failure. Long running times on either gasoline or LPG is one of many reasons we selected this model. the Westinghouse name, reputation, and reviews sealed the deal for us!

I bought this 9500 Dual Fuel Generator because I live in south Louisiana and are subjected to hurricanes. This generator will power my whole house including the central air conditioning. I installed a 50 amp socket connected to my main electrical service panel to connect the generator. When the power fails II just flip a few breakers, plug in the generator, push the starter button and we have power.

Overall have been pleased with this unit’s features, but as the title states the battery has discharged completely twice in one month ( have owned 1 month) this renders the remote start useless. Either the internal charger isn’t doing its job properly or the battery is a bad one. Is it a deal killer? No, but the remote was one of the main considerations in buying this model. Having to charge the battery on a unit this new is ridiculous though. If this issue hadn’t been happening, would give 5 stars.

Product was received in just a few of days (2 weeks ahead of schedule). Delivered on a pallet in my garage. Simple install for wheels and front rubber supports. Added the supplied oil and ready for a test run. Tested on propane, pressed the button and started almost immediately. Loaded with a 12000watt a/c and other appliances (not nearly fully loaded). Looks to be powerful and ready for the next hurricane. Trickle charger a nice bonus.

I have had this for 2 weeks now and very happy so far. Easy to assemble for two people out of the box. Started first time on both gas and propane. Power produced seems to be as expected, but I still have to hook it up to a transfer switch to see how it does powering the house.
