After several Power Outages in Austin Texas one lasting for 6 day I decided to do something about it. Staying home was not a option so I moved into a Hotel and it cost me almost what I paid for my Westinghouse Generator !! After a little repurchase I discover I could have my Home wired to run by Generator. I have my home wired and this generator will power everything in it. So I now say BLACK OUT !! BRING IT ON lol I”m ready and I don’t have to more out until the outage is over 😁 Best Money I spent lately for Me and my Family.

The WGen9500 is easy to set up and easy to use. I purchased this for the rolling power outages in California. When I am not at home my wife can start the generator from a push button key fob. This unit provides excellent power and flexibility and at a very good price. A+.

Very easy to set up and start. Added oil,put in fuel, started up first try. Have not tried to power the appliances yet. Would have given 5stars but the staples on the box scratched the frame in shipping. (Cosmetic damage only). Missing 2bolts and a washer. Looking forward to running the generator.

I'm impressed for several reasons, it is well designed for usability, it powered my freezers, fridge, lamps, wifi and an a/c unit during power outages caused by Helene. It starts like a champ, and runs on both gas and propane. I've mounted it on a heavy duty cart instead of the wheel package and can pull it with ease all over the farm.

After Hurricane Helene and the experiences my family had in western NC, I started seraching for a generator that would provide the power I needed and this one fit the bill. With the shortage of gasoline I witnessed I knew the dual fuel option was the only way to go. I also wanted an electric start that would allow my wife to operate it if I wasn't around to start it. This generator will be an important component of our emergency preparedness plan.

I have an older, smaller Cxxxxxxn Dual Fuel generator that served me well for several years now, but when the deep freeze struck, I realized it couldn't handle the loads I wanted it to plus it had a short runtime. I bought it with the intention to NEVER put gasoline in it. (Once you spend a few hours cleaning the jets on a tiny carb, you will understand.) I also hadn't learned to trust my Marine Stabil for real long term storage. I now consider gasoline to be the best for winter and propane is fine for summer as long as the lower power density is acceptable. So, back to the Arctic wave in Texas....We were able to keep the well pump, jet pump, sump pump, space heater, appliances minus the range, occasional water heater and the central fans going, but couldn't get the heat pump going. At 5 degrees outside, it wasn't unbearable inside as our wood burning stove saved the day, but that was a lot of work in addition to the relatively short run time on gas or propane. Adding gasoline at 3 in the morning isn't much fun and forget a 20 lb propane tank. Hard to beat gasoline in the winter. This led me to choose the Westinghouse over all the competitors. After a couple of days off the grid, I now value energy efficiency over most anything else. My smaller unit only lasted a bit over 7 hours with a slightly larger tank. I doubt I got more than 3 hours sleep per night due to worrying the unit would die during the night and allow all my plumbing to freeze. So, my thoughts on the product after receipt. It is very well packaged with lots of thought behind the engineering decisions and layout. Of course the one goof is where the wheels mount in relation to the 50 amp plug. That is a head scratcher. The automatic choke is spot on! The only thing better would be fuel injection. My other unit was very choke temperamental when warm plus you had to reach around the unit to work the choke while cycling the electric start. This is not an issue for the Westinghouse. I suggest you always turn off the gas at the shutoff under the tank and let the unit run out of fuel. This will empty the carb, but for total protection, always use Marine Stabil. Of course, always shut off the propane first and let the unit run dry. They warn you to turn off the propane when not running the unit. I found out while testing the remote that the unit will backfire if you stop it, leave the propane on, then start it up again. Whether that unburned fuel will dissipate after a longer wait, I can't say for sure. Just beware as you don't want to damage your muffler. I wanted to show the remote start to my wife, so I walked 100' up to the house and stood inside at the double pane patio door and said, "I doubt this will work this far away", but pressed the button. Since I didn't hear anything, I shrugged and walked to the door and opened it. It had started! I had to laugh as I never expected it to work from that distance. The stop button wouldn't work quite as well, but maybe because the little coin battery was still refreshing. Other observations....it is quieter than my smaller unit. Not by a lot, but it's definitely less obtrusive. I would like to see a slightly larger button for the Voltage/Hour gauge. It is very tiny. The propane hose is plenty long and very flexible. The tank side connector may be a teensy bit wimpy/cheap and you want to be sure it get oriented straight/perpendicular before screwing it on. It tried to get wonky on me once, when I wasn't focused on it properly. The air filters are just pieces of foam, which I happen to like. I don't like buying molded filters at premium cost when they get dirty. These foam filters should be easy to clean.

I just received my item today it was definitely a goodbye I recommend it to anyone who’s looking to purchase a generator. Best part about it is it to view it started up right away with propane and with you. In the remote start not a bad thing either..

I bought this today after careful research. Decided on the feature of gasoline, LP or Natural Gas. Everything I desired in one package to include 9,500 watts power. My intention for using the generator as a back up power supply. With my natural gas service, I won't have to stop to refuel. The remote starting feature is fantastic.

This generator has all the features that I was looking for , and then some. I purchased this primarily as a stand by generator in case of power outages, of which we've had several in the past few years. First start up after assembly was perfect, fired right up with the remote. The engine is quieter than I had expected, actually quieter than my neighbor's Whole House Generac. So far I am extremely pleased with this unit and my son may be purchasing one for his home in the near future. Thanks for making such a great product at a very affordable price. 👍👍

I got this for Christmas and out of the box seems to be a great generator. Easy to setup and use. I did find that you had to manually chock to get started the first time. I am hoping that it will start without the manual choke once setup since these will auto start when electric goes out if you setup correctly.
