Decent Generator!

Bought this generator to replace our older one. We decided to go more powerful as saving food has become a priority due to costs rising. We hope to maintain a deep freeze and refrigerator. The power of this generator should run most needed items in our home. Lack of employees has made getting the power back on slower than it used to be and less care and maintenance of power lines causing more power outages. (Progress they call it.) The ability to use gas or propane is a plus. (Solar not really a good option in Ohio.) We found it a little difficult to start, so removed the air filter and sprayed “Gumout starting fluid” directly into the air intake to give it a boost (old grandpa’s trick) and it started right up. Took one star off for having to do this. Runs a bit loud but it is a generator. Easy to move about with rugged wheels. So far we are pleased with this generator. A friend was looking to buy one too and chose the same one. Hoping we don’t need to use it too often but will update this review if we do.

Great Features for the Price!

Bought this for home backup and for use with our camper. Dual fuel option is great for camping - I can hook straight to our camper's gas system. Remote start option is great to restart the genset the next morning without having to walk outside. Output is great for full camper - even with AC in the summer!

Powerful generator with plenty of useful features.

After recent major power outages we had due to a tornado,I was looking for a generator with enough power to run my house and I chose this model for two important reasons:first it was affordable and second I saw this model in action and I was impressed.This generator was able to run two walk in freezers which saved a lot of food products from going bad, fans , lights, etc. I ordered this one a week ago and I picked it up today. I am almost done installing the electrical inlet and the interlock for my panel and after the plumber installs the quick connect for natural gas I will be prepared in case we have other power outages.Forgot to mention that the generator comes with a propane hose and a natural gas hose.

Great features. Easy hook up

We ordered online and set it up as soon as we received it. This model has dual fuel which is awesome. If our small town doesn't have power at it's gas station we have three 30 and four 20 pound propane tanks we keep full for our camper and grill. We decided to hookup the 50 amp circuit to the house. We are not disappointed. We had 1 freezer , 2 refrigerators, AC and the pump hand come on. The generator dropped 1 or 2 volts and when the water pump shut off it came back up to 115 volts. We have not tried to run the generator on propane as yet. I am sure it will be just fine. It does come with a regulator and hose.

great features

Just got it and started up right away. Specs state 35.5A-240V which seems a bit low for this runnings watts. Either the amps or the watts rating is incorrect. Total harmonic distortion is higher then comparable models. If the running & starting watts are correct, this will be an awesome generator. The remote start works as it should.Time will tell how it preforms when connected up and running as a back up power.

Generator 9500 For Home Use

I bought the model# 9500 post hurricane Beryl in July. Since we have lost power on 2 other occasions. The 9500 was available to provide power for the entire first floor of our home for 2 + days. It’s quiet, powerful and portable. Should have made the purchase years ago.

So Far So Good! Excellent Generator!

I just bought this over the Christmas break to prepare for rolling blackouts over the summer and during windy seasons. I wanted a generator big enough to lift the whole house, primarily my central AC. I haven't had a chance to load test it yet, however shipping was in perfect condition. Unboxed it with all parts included. Mounted the wheels (Took 5 mins). Battery was already hooked up to the terminals so all I had to do was connect the pigtails (10 secs). Added the oil (supplied) and gas and fired her up. She started right away with the push start button. Ran her for 15 minutes without load and she sounded great. Programmed the remote (another nice feature) and started her up with it without any issues. I'm having an electrician come out to install a transfer switch to my panel so time will tell how she performs when she'd needed. But I have no doubt she will.

Life Saver

I purchased this after losing power for a week during Hurricane Ian. This year with Hurricane Helene and Milton there was again extended power loss. This generator powered my entire home (minus the A/C unit) for 7 days. Maintenance was quick and easy limiting down time.Run time on a full tank at about 75% was 10+ hours. It was so simple to operate, my wife did it. Highly recommend

Cant believe how much this thing powers!!

Purchased this after a recent tornado took the power grid down in my area. Needless to say, I'm glad I did. All of the essentials run off of it and if I had the proper hookup in my box, I would say this thing could have even ran my whole house. This unit is super easy to get running, it even has remote start!! Yes, just like your car. If you run out of gasoline, no problem, grab the tank off of your grill and start it back up! Power for days. Told my neighbor about it and they went the same day and bought one.

Plenty of Dependable Power

I live in Florida, and I was tired of not having enough power during outages to run my air conditioner, two refrigerators and a freezer. So I decided to upgrade my generator. The WGEN9500 has enough muscle to use a power panel interlock (rather than a more costly transfer switch) so that I can choose run any circuit in my home during the outage. Some may find this more inconvenient than using a transfer switch, however, this setup works well for me. My unit came well packaged, was easy to assemble; just the wheels and 2 feet. After putting in the oil with the funnel (both supplied) and connecting the battery then filling with 87 octane fuel (regular) it fired right up and tested out perfectly. I look forward to many years of dependable backup power from my new Westinghouse generator.
