We bought the Westinghouse 12,500/9,500-Watt Dual Fuel Gas and Propane Powered Portable Generator with Remote Electric Start, 50 Amp Outlet on 1 May 2024. We are extremely pleased with the Key Fob and the start button. You have your choice of using Gas or Propane. We are extremely happy with this Generator and recommend this product to our friends.

The generator came with a container of oil, so after I added the oil and a little fuel, I pushed the start button and it started right up. I have not used it under load yet. To tell you the truth, I hope I never need it. I live in Florida so I bought this in case of a hurricane. I have it set up so I can hook it to the main breaker so I can run the stuff I need to run. I plan on testing it out soon and will write another review.

Started first attempt with remote. Nice dual fuel feature. Runs quiet for a generator this size. Have not truly went through the recommended 5-hour break in time. I don't post excellent reviews until I've had time to test the item after true usage.

I shopped and compared dozens of brands and models before deciding on the WGen9500. My Dad has had the WGen7500 for a couple years with no isaues, so I had some confidence in the Westinghouse brand even though the generator itself is made overseas (Vietnam). My purchase was to upgrade from a circa 2005 Coleman Powermate 5500 that served me well they many power outages. I was shocked that this 9500 watt generator was not much larger than the old Yamaha MZ300 powered 5500 and is actually noticeably QUIETER! Will be running it thru its paces soon after I complete a thorough and gentle break-in. My primary concern would be the THD rating -- Specs indicate up to 23% THD which would be disasterious to sensitive electronics and also would be rejected by battery backups/UPSs which I use many of. Anxious to see the actual noise level in the power output.

This is clearly a well-built generator with several features that others do not offer at this price point. After unpacking and connecting the battery, I proceeded to test run the generator. I had a propane tank nearby so I connected to the propane, moved the tri-fuel selector switch to propane, pushed the start button on the key fob and viola!!! starting right away without any issues. I would say that so far I am thrilled to have this very nice piece of equipment! I plan on wiring my house to utilize the 50 amp circuit on the generator, therefore I should be able to get the most from this generator. I'm excited to use it for power back up, but hope I don't have to use it(if that makes sense).

Having a back up generator is a must, especially if you live in an area where the power company may shut off power incase of wild fires. As I was looking for a generator, the Westinghouse Wgen9500 portable generator peaked my intestest. It had plenty of great reviews online and it’s very simple to use. After I purchased mine, I had to install the wheels and mounting stand. Add oil and gasoline. Then I fired it up! I tested it out by running an industrial 24 inch fan, a 10,000 BTU portable AC and a 5,000 Lumin flood light. All of the items were plugged in and ran flawlessly. The generator had no issue running. I would say that the generator does get quite loud, however if the whole block is out, I’m sure your neighbors would be doing the same by running their generators. The generator itself is very nice looking, and is fairly a good size that can be stored in a shed or inside of a garage without taking too much space. Overall, I have no complaints so far. This generator even has a push to start and wireless remote start. This review is coming from someone who has never owned or dealt with any other portable gas generators.

I love this dual fuel generator. So convenient and easy to use. the wheels were easy to install. The handle bar makes it very easy to move. I got it just in time for the start of hurricane season. Being that I live in Florida, I hope I won't need it anytime soon, but if I do I know this bad girl will get the job done.

We bought after hurricane hit the Carolinas aware without power for two week. We may never need it but it is will worth it for our piece of mind. When we started it up ran fine and had all the things we were looking for. Had all the accessories with it all we had to do was supply the fuel!

Purchased to run the house in the event of power outage. Have used it twice already. Love the dual fuel feature. Our plan is to only use the propane feature as maintaining gas engines is time consuming and can be annoying. One nice feature is the remote start which was handy in the middle of a storm. The unit with the propane tank was set up in advance of the approaching storm. Once the power went down, flipped the mains and started the unit from inside the house. So far the generator has exceeded our expectations. Planning another purchase in the near future to run our remote power needs.

This 9,500 watt generator provides power to all my appliances, including central AC, which is great because I wasn't sure about the AC. It won't power the two 7,500 watt elements in my heating system, but I didn't expect it to and have propane heating in my house for that.
