Great Purchase!

Easy to unpack and assemble wheels and legs, easy battery plug hook up and lp gas connections were no problem. As a woman and it was not difficult for me to get it up and running. Love the built in handle for maneuverability. Very happy with purchase!

Love the remote start/shut down fob

Bought this generator a month ago for the inevitable fire season power shut downs here in Northern California. Only gave it 4 stars because I just set it up and ran it for a short test run. The remote start is a great feature and based on the recommendations of my electrician expect to have many seasons of service.

Everything we need and more

Looked at many generators. Living on the gulf coast of Flordia we needed a good powerful one. This 9500 has everything we need. Set up a breeze with very easy to understand directions. Got it delivered at noon unpacked and had it running by 1:30. First generator we ever owned and looks like we got a good one.

Great Value Investment

This is a great value for the money, purchased as a spare to have on hand. Love the options of auto-start, remote start (fob) and manual. Never used Propane but instructions were easy to put on the wheels and get started up. Was delivered on time in the window frame selected. Very pleased.

Well built, good output, good price

We were about to buy an installed, natural gas whole-house backup generator, but the trenching, new 400 amp service (electric company requirement), and on and on added about 50% to the already high price. This will keep us going through our too-frequent power outages and keep the heat on and the refrigerators and freezer running, and we can always take it somewhere if we want. I do plan on installing a tri-fuel converter, and this generator will easily allow that without cutting the frame of our new generator. We don't have propane but do have natural gas, which will be far easier than carrying and storing dozens of gallons of gasoline.

Delivery Date Exceeded

I just received my generator and cant wait to fire it up. I will be doing a test run with natural gas and propane soon and I will definitely update my review. But as far as the delivery of the unit, it arrived 7 days early, thats a great start for sure

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.

Works well

I bought this about a month ago due to our wonderful state and utility not being able to keep us safe from fires cause primarily by their negligence. OK I'll stop there. This gen powered my home very well. I was able to use everything I wanted to with it. It was nice being able to get up in the morning and just push a button on the phob to turn it on and then the same to turn it off at night. Great product thus far.

Buy Westinghouse Genenators

I have had Westinghouse generator products for nearly 10 years now and they crank every time I need them and are more fuel efficient than the rest. This is why I’m getting the 9500, can run my camper and a lot of my house essentials at the same time During a storm.

Generator worth the money and peace of mind.

This will be a lengthy review and I am in now way being compensated or have any affiliation with Westinghouse. Start with delivery and unboxing: they delivered as promised using XPO, who I had never heard of prior. They were very personable and took good care of the generator prior to and during delivery. They placed it exactly where I wanted in my garage. A+ on delivery. Next assembly and set up: I followed the manual exactly. If you read carefully and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS” you will see the entire quart of included SAE 10-30 oil needs to be added to the generator and they even include a funnel which I did think “what a nice touch”. Everything went smoothly and there were a couple things I noticed. 1. There is a cut off valve on the fuel line for the gas. I would recommend never getting a generator without one because when you are done using your generator you should cut off the fuel and then let it run until it uses all the fuel in the carb so it does not crystallize prior to you using it again. 2. It was so easy to switch between gas and propane, also well explained in the manual. 3. Battery was already charged but they included a battery charger with this model that plugs into a normal 110 outlet and then plugs into the faceplate on the generator to top off the battery. In the owners manuals it states not to leave it plugged into this charger as it is not a trickle charger and may overcharge the battery if it is left charging more than 8 hours. ANOTHER GREAT UNEXPECTED ADDITION. 4 The pairing of the key fob for the auto start was a little weird but, again, if you follow the directions exactly even though it seems weird it worked the first time. 5. It included the wheel and handle kit unlike a lot of other generators I previously priced and researched. Nice size and sturdy wheels as well. Starting: 1. I used propane and I used the auto start. The first time it did not start on the first or second attempt but fired right up on the third and I think that is normal because the fuel had to make it to the motor. 2. Although it did not start on the first crank it had an auto feature that it automatically tries 3 cranks before failing and turning the start/stop indicator to red indicating a start failure. I only pushed the button once. Great feature!!! 3. I love the counter that shows usage to help you determine when to service. Things it came with I was unaware of: 1 a small tool kit 2. Quart of 4 cycle motor oil 3. A fully charged battery 4. A 6.6 gallon main fuel tank for gas which should give you around 12-14 hours of run time. The only negative thing and I hate to mention it because I feel like I am wanting to eat my cake and have it as well. The generator is noisy! It is a 12,500 watt generator and is going to be loud, but be prepared to use some longer cabling and extension cords to get it away from you. We are using this generator to power our home during hurricane and cold weather power losses here in TX. VERY HAPPY WITH THE PIRCHASE!!! It is definitely big enough to run the whole home heater, all three refrigerators, and one freezer as well as all lights and entertainment as well. Advice: if you are using it to power your home speak to your electrician before buying a interlock kit as different breaker boxes use different kits. Great job Westinghouse
