Best power:price ratio

I love everything about this generator. The fact that it runs on gas or LP was the primary feature I was looking for. No more gummed up carburetor from leaving gas in the system. Runs clean on propane. Another awesome feature is that it has a 50 Amp and 30 Amp 240V receptacle along with the normal 120v outlets. Being able to remote start with a fob is convenient and the huge 6.6 gallon tank makes for extended run times without the need to refuel. I was happily surprised to find a battery charger included to maintain the onboard battery used to start the generator. For the money I don't think there is a better generator out there!

Started right up, needs parts not included

I fired it up on propane and powered some house circuits. It started with no hesitation. The manual is bit un-organized, mixing warnings, setup, and operating instructions. Discovered I need to buy extra parts for operating at high altitude (above Denver) but the parts are not available.

Westinghouse 9500/12,500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable G

I have only had it in possession for a week or so and having to call today on why it will not run my lights in my shop when a 3500 watt inverter does without any problem. I am hoping Westinghouse will take care of this problem when I call today. It runs everything else in my shop except my lights which are LED and pull least wattage of anything. Hoping this is a simple fix

Over the top - easy to use and move around

My old generator finally died. I upgraded to this monster. It powers the whole house, including my well, (old Gen didn't) and runs smooth with no real surge's. So far we are very impressed. Take notice, not only is it remote electric start, but they send you a trickle charger for the battery that Westinhouse includes. So your battery will last for years. I live in Enumclaw WA. Our town is known for the wind. The name Enumclaw is an old Indian name that means Evil Wind. We loose power a lot. I'm so glad to have this beast on the ready to plug into my house.

!

We just had our generator delivered today, the day hurricane Laura hit! We are so pleased to have it during the storm. The most important feature to us is that it runs on gasoline and also on propane. When we need to use a generator, we have other issues so it will be nice to have an option of 2 different fuels.

For occasional power outages

We just got this generator, started up just fine, manual was easy to follow. I had to add more that one container of oil. We plan to power several refrigerators in the house and shop, propane cook top, a few lights, and the well pump using the GenerLink device when to power goes off.

Great generator

Bought on recommendation from my electrician. It has a remote start so it's so easy to deal with. Also comes with plugin to keep battery charged when not in use..no more dead battery when power goes out! Very compact and easy to move. Will power my whole house!

Worth the money

Just became a homeowner and have experienced some power outages. After careful research, this generator put out the wattages I needed to power all the essentials in the house without the hefty price tag as other brands. Very simple to put together and get started. I love the remote start feature. I also like the handle which makes it easy to pull in and out the shed. So far so good, I'm very happy with the purchase well worth every penny.

Excellent bang for the buck

This is a great choice for anyone with occasional power loss (for us, 5-6 times a year), needing to power the essentials. We're adding a transfer switch soon to connect it more fully to the house when needed. This option is a nice middle ground rather than much more expensive permanently installed units (which doesn't make much economic sense for people without frequent / extreme power loss). Dual fuel is also a great addition, as we almost always have one or the other in storage.

Solid Unit

After serious research we decided on this product and happy that we did. The overall power and two fuel options really make the difference. Just in time for some serious weather that has power outage potential. Even though we can't hardwire in at this time the option to do so to run the entire home is awesome. Even though the unit is pretty heavy its easy to move with the wheels and the size is smaller and more compact than I expected. Some reviews said it was loud but it doesn't seem too bad for what you're getting in power return. Planning on having this generator for years to come for whatever emergency arises.
