Power and Quiet - My Electrician has the same one

I bought this to provide power during a hurricane which are frequent in Florida. When I got an interlock switch wired to my panel, The electrician said that he uses the Dual Fuel version and recommended them, and it was sufficient to run his Central Air on a 1800 sq ft home. I have not tried to test yet, but knowing that was very convincing coming from the electrician

Great Features Indeed!

I ordered this on the 17th of this month and it arrived before the ETA, good start. I unpackaged the generator, installed front support legs and the wheels. Added the supplied oil and double checked the level. added gas, connected the battery. Done! Energized the unit and hit the start button once and it fired right up! Tested with small load and it is good to go, I'm a very happy camper. :o)

Great Value

This generator is well made and has some really nice features. Electric start, wheel kit, voltage/frequency/hour meter. It even comes with a trickle charger to keep the battery charged. The owners manual is very detailed and the maintenance section is informative. The gas tank is steel, not plastic. I was impressed with the build quality.

won't start with battery

First two times the generator started fine using the battery start function. Turned battery switch to on position, green start/stop button lit, and pressing start/stop button generator started. Now have to use the recoil rope to start . Even using the choke in the proper position, takes several pulls and a shot of starting fluid to start. Once it starts it runs great. By the way I got this for our 40 foot RV, so if I were not there she could use the battery start function, as she can not pull the cord to start the generator.

Well built with all the features you need

I bought this to run my house if our power goes out. With multiple starting options, and clear easy to follow instructions, everyone in the family knows how to start it with little effort. There is even a port to plug a charger into so you do not have to disconnect the battery. They thought of everything when designing this.

Excellent Generator so far

I'm just getting the generator put together and running today after having it almost a month. It has just about every feature and started on second pull. Starts very quickly now. One note: make sure the battery is connected. The connection was almost hidden but it has to be connected to continue running. Looking forward to using it. It looks great, now if it will run great and for many years it will be worth buying.

Big Unit

The unit looks well built and strong. It was very easy to assemble. I added gas and followed the instructions and it started on the first try. I let it run for about a half hour without any load letting the engine wear in. I was very surprised at how quiet this unit is given it's size, but to compare, my pressure washer is louder. I haven't used it yet but I will update when I do

WGen9500c

I bought this product to replace another brand of generator that I had bought during an emergency. After researching and reading reviews about Westinghouse generators I decided to upgrade to the WGen9500c and I'm glad I did. It runs much quieter; the push button and remote start features are so smooth and simple to use I know my wife could start and operate it in an emergency if I wasn't home.

Nice

I bought this generator three weeks ago. Am in process of doing the break in process, very satisfied with generators start up and out put. Push button auto start very nice, push once and within 3 or 5 seconds motor turning over to start. Mid 30s temperature have not had to use choke to start.

Very Easy Assembly, First Time Start:

I assembled this generator right out of the box, put the provided oil and added gas. First kick and the generator starts with no problems whatsoever. I am impressed by the generator. The sound level is acceptable and it is an excellent choice for my needs.
