Generator review

After my other generator died after hurricane Milton , it was time to replace it with another. This model had the power and flexibility of fuel we desired. As of yet, it has not been fully tested, but it should power all our needs until we get restored

Belt and Suspenders

I didn't want to own a generator...but I live in an area of the country where severe weather is common. I've been averaging about a week a year without electricity. I got fed up and began the search for the right generator for our needs. I chose the WGen9500TFc Tri-Fuel generator because it gets all the things right, even down to small details. -Tri-Fuel: I can run it on gasoline, natural gas, or propane--so I strongly increase my chances in a natural disaster of being able to get the fuel I need. Tri-Fuel=Belt and Suspenders. -Start Any Way: The generator includes an electric starter, which is convenient. It even has remote start, so I can turn it on and off as I need to without even going outside. BUT it includes a pull cord for starting, so if the battery dies, or the starter fails, I can still start it traditionally. Belt and Suspenders. -Form and Function: The engineers paid attention to even small details where they could have cut corners. Things like: including a no-foul trickle charger to keep the battery ready to go, a battery disconnect switch, even a specialty dog-leg funnel to make filling the oil simple and clean. Now I just hope to never have to use it!

Easy set up

This is a very substantial motor/generator and appears to be exactly what I need. It has been bought to be an emergency power source in case of electric service being out to the house. It appears to be up to the job, but won't know until it is put to the test. I do have confidence after reading the very detailed manual that it will do what it is intended to do. I feel encouraged.

Just installed and ran on propane. Works well.

I bought this generator a month ago. Just got wired to my house. Now I have back-up power to 10 key circuits on my house (well, frig, furnace, internet). I bought a 100 lb propane tank to minimize fill ups. Works well and provides the right level of power when these items are running.

Nice unit, hope it stays un-used.

Living 20 years in the hurricane zone, I have done without a generator. But now that I am with a wife and twin boys, I needed something. So I got this based on my boss's and a neighbor's recommendation, both of who already have the dual-fuel edition of this. assembled just fine, though a bit heavy. hopefully I won't need it, but its just fine out of the box.

Burn in went well

It is heavy so be sure you have assistance or it stays on the pallet until you are ready to install the wheels. It was delivered in a rain storm and everything inside was soaked including the manual, but the unit was fine. Worked great with propane for the 5 hour burn in. I did a NG setup as well and that also worked great. I haven't had to use it in a real life scenario yet, but seems like it will do the job.

As Described

I have run it a few times on both gas and propane without any problems. So far, I am very happy with the product. The box could have more protection between the outer cardboard and the inside rails. I had a small shipping "nick" in the cardboard that tool off a small amount of paint. Aside from that, then generator is just great.

Best & Most Powerful Generator I've Ever Owned

I just received this item 6 days ago, so I do not have a lot of confirmed data regarding ratability or longevity, however, straight out of the box I could tell it was a quality product that had numerous features not found on my previous generator that stopped working recently. I love the fact that it is duel fuel capable (gas or LPG), a large 6.6 gallon gasoline tank, all outlets have rubber covers to keep them clean, 3 ways to start (manual rope pull, push button battery start, remote control battery start), multi function data display (voltage/frequency/lifetime hours/run-time maintenance codes), battery charging port for the included trickle charger, and a NEMA 14-30R twist lock receptacle. After attaching the wheels and the rubber "feet" (a 2-person job), adding the oil and gas, I tried starting it with the remote control. It did not start on the 1st try, but it automatically attempted a 2nd start which succeeded. What a joy to NOT have to pull the recoil rope to start!!! The first thing I noticed is that it ran very much quieter than my old one. I ran it for about 1/2 hour, adding various loads to it as suggested in the manual and it handled it with no problem, with hardly a change in the sound/pitch of the generator. I once again have the peace of mind that during the next power outage, I will be very well prepared with this powerful generator.

From out of the box to a straight 60 hours

I bought this a few weeks before Hurricane Sally just in case. I actually never took it out of the box until after the Hurricane passed. It started right up and kept going without a hitch. We were without power for five days and I never had a problem. I did stop it to change the oil at the 20 to 25 hour mark. A fantastic generator and i look forward to hooking it up to the house with the transfer switch option.

A dream machine

Like millions of other folks in Harris county, we were without power for over seven days. I bought this to be insurance against ever having to live through that again. I have mine ready to go now with a 50 amp cord and natural gas hook up. I tested it and it had no problems running two window units, numerous lights, refrigeration, and washing machine. Starts right up and runs like a dream. I am actually looking forward to loosing power so I can really enjoy this thing. Additionally, Westinghouse is great because they include in the box the natural gas hose, LP hose, oil, etc.
