Simply put, I've done the research & just buy a Westinghouse. I've watched the YouTube videos, I asked my FIL, and I asked a buddy of mine who works in construction. Fellas, just buy this one--don't look elsewhere. It powers my entire house minus the HVAC & stove, but hey, in emergency situations (like when it snows once a year here in the south) I ain't complaining bout that.

Bought original generator almost 11 months ago based on features and reviews. Frame was damaged as received, smashed into the gas tank - so never started it. Westinghouse replaced unit which was much appreciated, just received it - will supply more data after unit is utilized.

We comfort and now have confidence we will have a reliable back if web lose power for an extended period. The Westinghouse 9500 Generator will power our essential need during an outage. Easy to install. Easy to use. Push button start/stop, key phob for remote start/stop. This generator, the house name and quality of Westinghouse give us assurance and a level of confort that we arw ready and prepared for protection during an extended power outage. An aside, it is portable and available for family outing and camp outs.

Just started yesterday. Initially, I forgot to open the fuel valve, went back to the manual and locate it; no problem. This is a very smooth machine. All controls and warnings are marked very well. It is heavier than it looks in the videos. I will need somebody to help me to move the machine to the site where I am going to keep it. Looking forward to a power cut now.

Been in the market for a semi-powerful generator for a while. I wanted it to be easy enough for myself and wife to operate, yet powerful enough to handle some serious business. Electric start was definitely a must. This unit comes with a remote start as well, which I considered a bonus and great addition. The price dropped considerably on Prime Day for this unit, so I pulled the trigger. The unit arrived two weeks later, bright and early. I expected the box to be beat to death but to my surprise, it was all intact. It's a heavy unit but not as heavy as I expected. Looks very well constructed. I followed the directions in the manual & test fired it with gas and propane and the unit fired right up with no problems. The first crank with the electric start did nothing. It stopped cranking on it's own and automatically tried again. It fired right up! I let it run for a moment, then shut it down. I started it with the remote. Again the first crank was unsuccessful. But it stopped cranking, then automatically tried again. It fired up!! The unit came with everything you need to get started except fuel. It even comes with a funnel for the included quart of oil and a trickle charger for the battery. I find it to be somewhat quieter than other generators I've been around of this type. Currently happy with this purchase & I hope I never need to use it. I can't speak to longevity just yet, as I just received. I'll update this review if need be when an emergency requires use or otherwise. So far seems like a great Generator for the price point.

I bought this last week as a portable back up. We live in VT in the woods and over the last couple of years our power has been going out alot more and for longer periods of time. Pick it up, very easy instructions assemble the wheels to it, add your oil which came with it, fuel source either propane or gasoline. Thats it started right up. Let it warm up couple of minutes put couple loads to it no issues. So far very happy.

Bought this unit to supply power to essential appliances in case of power failure for extended periods and to power the camper when using it off grid. Everything seems to be working fine for now, however I have not tested this product extensively or for prolonged periods of time. So far I am pleased with this product.

Simple to setup. As advertised features and accessories provided. First gas fill drips/splash (nearly inevitable without out-of-norm measures) left visible markings in the flat black painted gas tank even when cleaned immediately. I realize it's a tool, but a bit disappointing when it hadn't even been started yet. Will know more of capability after first use, and reliability after some long run hours with multiple events.

This is my first generator, I've done a LOT of research before purchasing. Westinghouse always was very highly rated. The main reason for buying it was my electricity has been going out a lot lately, I've missed the Michigan/OSU game this year and 75% of the Super Bowl due to no electricity. it seems to be getting worse now. I got this unit and assembled it. It started on first pull, I was amazed how quiet it was for the size of it. My neighbors couldn't believe it either. It's truly a great product!!.

We purchased this generator to use at a cabin that has no electric at all. We bought it so we can run a small ac, couple of lights, chargers and a well pump. It starts very quickly without any issues. Love the idea of a remote start as well. We purchased the tri fuel in the event that a severe storm takes our power out again we can hook it up to the house natural gas and still have some electric. We look forward to using this for years to come.
