Quality

I received my Westinghouse 9500Tfc with no problems and setup was super smooth. Put on the wheels and added oil, hooked up to propane tank and fired up on first try. Ran very smoothly and noise was not that bad (it is a big boy). I ran for an hour with variable loads and my Power Watchdog surge protector showed a very consistent voltage. Got a 50 amp cord and had an electrician wire a generator inlet with interlock to my home panel. Planning on having a natural gas quick connect installed on my pool heater gas line out back so I can just hook up and let it go. Just waiting for the next storm…. Thanks Westinghouse

Fully loaded and ready to go

Love that the generator comes with things that you have to buy if you go with a different brand--battery, remote starter key fob, battery charger, oil, funnel, wheel kit. It was pretty much plug and play to get this thing fired up and ready to go. Now I sit patiently and wait for a black out.

Excellent generator

Purchased this generator after my natural gas home generator failed me more than once during hurricane outages and various storm outages. Easy to set up and operate. I Like that I have a choice of 2 fuel options. Easy to switch between the two. Actually is quieter than my old home generator while in use. Over all very happy with this purchase.

All the Power You Need

Just purchased. Easy to assemble, excellent instructions. Like others have noted the 1 quart of oil provided is not enough to fill the crankcase. Started right up on propane with first push of the start button, battery came charged. Unit is heavy but easy to maneuver with the large wheels. Everything you need is included such as a tool kit and funnel. Quieter than I expected. Comes with remote start/stop and was amazed that the generator started from the furthest room inside my house.

Lots of options and features

Have not had to use it in real life but so far it is as described. Set up was simple and only issue was the oil provided only filled it to the low level mark so had to add extra oil to bring the level up to safe level. Started up quickly with no issues and I run a electric drill off the 120 volt port. Tried the battery charger and worked great.

Had all the features that I was looking for

I bought this generator because it was dual fuel and had two 240-volt receptacles which were requirements I had. I chose Westinghouse because it is a well-known brand name and a friend of mine has a Westinghouse and is extremely happy with it. The remote start is a cool feature. I had to call into Customer Service to answer a question about setup. The representative was extremely helpful and easy to understand. Excellent service.

Didn't work out of the box!

Unfortunately we tried using this generator for the first time when the winter storm occurred in Texas. Spent multiple hours troubleshooting using the oil that came with the item as well as fresh gasoline. Could not get it to start and in the process of trying to get my money back... Should have tested the item when I received it and paid the price for waiting until we actually needed it the most!

So far so good!

We purchased this for back up since we live in the country. Our first generator and are pleased thus far. A little on the noisier side but when one "needs" power for the given circumstance, noise wont necessarily be a factor. I believe one YouTuber rated this at 74 decibels. The wheels were easy to install as well as the 2 feet. The pop-up handle is a nice feature and allow me to move the unit with ease across our farm terrain. Running the unit was a cinch. Just be sure to turn off your fuel valve and allow it to use up the balance of the fuel in the line/carb so that things don't get gummed up. Front control panel is easy to navigate. Buttons seem solid. Electric start is a welcomed feature! One thing I would have changed is the location of the gas cap. I would have put the cap at one end or the other so that it makes a little easier to pour in. All in all, a great product for the money and we are very happy with our purchase!

Very impressed

This is my fourth generator and I've been impressed with the quality of this unit. The manual was nicely printed on bound vellum with clear instructions. The only information missing was the fact that the unit took a full quart of oil. Next, the wheels were no flats using ball bearings. The battery 2 pin connector was a stroke of brilliance and makes battery maintenance easy. The handle is the strongest I've seen yet and makes moving the unit over rough terrain substantially easier. I've never seen an electric start unit come with it's own charger and built in battery status indicator. I prefer using propane instead of gas and out of the box my previous units were a bear to start the first time. Not this unit! I hit the start button and it took off running as smooth as any engine can. I expected a generator this size to be loud and was extremely surprised that the sound turned out to be no more than my 20HP riding mower. I've only listed the major niceties and there are many more. Thank you Westinghouse for thoughtfull innovation on a generator.
