load calcuation for home was well within 9500 watt capasity. was advised to size generator a few thousand watts above calcuated average use. 50 amp transfer panel accommodated well, dryer, water heater and required lights and outlets. performed well with initial trial.

After losing power a number of times it was time to buy a generator. I resurched them all. This was one of the best, whole home, "portable" ,option I found... for the right price. The power output is perfect for my house when needed. It is also portable enough to use when flipping houses. Right out of the box, "with a little set up", it started right up. It powered all lights, tv's, computer, fridge, washer, main heater, dishwasher, and all garage power tools.

I bought this generator after researching on Consumer Reports. It was considered one of the best. After receiving it, I was pleasantly surprinsed at how easy it was to assemble and begin to use. It has worked flawlessly and produces all the power I need for backup power to my house.

In Texas the power grid is not always reliable. We sometimes have sudden blackouts that last for hours. In the 2021 Snowmeggedon we were without power for five days. My new Westinghouse generator provides me with secure power now. We're on a well and my biggest concern was to be without water during an extended outage. No more. Now I can count on my generator. The generator is easy and intuitive to operate. It has the output we need for the well and other home systems if needed. The controls are easy to understand. I love my new generator!

Awesome product! Impressed with all the features especially the dual Fuel, auto start, remote start. The main purpose for purchasing the unit was for home backup when power failures occur (which happens to often). The unit started up quickly without any hesitation.

The generator was at a great price and easy to set up, but don't expect a miracle cure, especially if you have use long extension cords. Also, couldn't change the oil after 25 hours. The plug simply would not come out no matter how hard we tried. Granted, we stopped at a point where we were pretty sure if we put any more torque on the plug it would have sheared. Otherwise, if you need something to run small devices and tools, at a short distance the Westinghouse 9500 is a good buy.

I purchased this generator because of frequent power outages in my area. It has electric start and I love that it can run on gasoline or propane. It starts easily and runs fairly quietly for a generator this size. I am running it on propane because I always have a couple of 20# grill cylinders in my storage shed..

I was shopping for a generator that could power my RV off-grid, power my stick welder, and power the basics of my house when the electricity is out. I choose this model due to the size, dual fuel capable, and electric remote start. We have used it, mainly with propane so far. It was GREAT, I could use the remote from inside the RV to get power going. The wheels and folding handle allowed me to push it up ramps into the truck easily. I am very pleased with this purchase, I will definitely recommend this Westinghouse generator!

Just bought this generator. Everything looked great out of the box, but couldn't get it started, even after carefully following all of the start up steps in the manual and checking the troubleshooting section. Westinghouse Customer Care phone line was no help; kept disconnecting me after about 15 minutes on hold. Finally discovered that the battery hadn't been connected. The battery cables were just tie-wrapped together and shoved behind the housing. Once we connected the battery, it worked fine. The start-up and/or troubleshooting sections of the manual should mention the battery quick connect. Would have saved us a load of trouble!

This is a very well thought out generator that has it all. It is strong enough to power my house (I was running on propane and kept the gas furnace blower going as well as fridge, freezer, lights and tv). Electric start is a nice touch but wonderful that they kept the pull cord too! Dual fuel is awesome! I don’t have to run the carburetor dry each time I use it. The controls are simple and there are lots of plug options. I love it!
