Excellent Generator. Packaging needs work

I bought this to power my house and I think it will. The Quality of the generator is excellent. The remote start is one of the reasons I went with this model as well as the 50amp outlet. It is not as loud as other generators with less wattage. The box the thing comes in is very flimsy cardboard and my frame was actually damaged. Along with a slightly bent wheel mount. Overall I love the generator.

Solid Powerhouse for Backup Needs 🔋🏡

The Westinghouse WGen9500TFC is a solid choice if you’re looking for a reliable backup generator. I’ve been using it mainly for power outages and occasional outdoor events, and it’s got some serious juice—9,500 running watts and a whopping 12,500 peak watts. It’s plenty powerful for keeping essentials like the fridge, lights, and even a small AC unit running without breaking a sweat. Setup was surprisingly straightforward. It’s got an electric start, which saves the hassle of manual pulling, plus remote start (nice bonus when you don’t want to step outside). It’s a bit hefty at around 220 lbs, but the wheels make it manageable enough to move around. For a unit this size, expect some noise, but nothing that feels unreasonable for the power output. One cool touch is the transfer switch-ready outlet, making it easier to connect to your home setup. Compared to similar generators I’ve tried, like the DuroMax or Champion models, the Westinghouse feels like it’s built with just a bit more attention to detail. That said, it does gulp down fuel, so be prepared for frequent refills if you’re running it for long periods. Overall, it’s a reliable and powerful option for anyone looking for peace of mind during blackouts or wanting to power up outdoor events. Just keep an eye on the fuel gauge!

Nice generator

Out of the box two of the mounts/vibration absorbers connected to the the frame were barely on. Had to tighten them up. No problem, easy fix as I’m already installing the feet. Of course this made me feel like I needed to check every single bolt and nut afterwards lol but everything was good. i was worried about the higher thd (23%) and “sensitive electronics” but no issues have arisen as a result. Love that this is one of the more fuel efficient generators out there. I use the 50amp outlet to an inlet box installed outside my house with interlock on breaker box so as not to back feed etc….powers my furnace, fridge, lights etc… just don’t use stuff like your oven, blow dryers, laundry dryers… you know… things that make electrical heat. my wife is mad about all the upfront costs of the entire set up (electrical install costs, generator, propane (because propane stores forever as long tank integrity is still good vs 6months for gasoline plus in large scale outages everybody wants gasoline), cable) but she can thank me later when the next derecho hits or other abnormally long interruption in power

Solid and Well Designed

I haven't used it yet and might not for some time, but the overall appearance, durability, and design of the generator looks great. It was also very easy to put on the feet and wheels. I also like that you get a good wrench and spark plug wrench in a case to use on the generator, my only suggestion is to maybe have a little attachable caddy to hold the case do it won't get separated and lost.

So far so good

I received this generator in less than two weeks. Read through the manual and ran tests. The system is operating as designed. I would recommend adding more details on using a 120v ac charger in the manual break-in or maintenance section, specifically on what position the battery/run switches need to be in (on or off). Other than that minor detail no one should have an issue setting the generator. Rating 4.9

Great out of the box

The wife finally said I could get a generator after our most recent power outage. Loved the features, including the 50A plug of this Westinghouse model. When it showed up the morning before a snow storm struck, we had it set up and powering the house less than 30 minutes after opening the box!

Purchased for frequent power outages

Purchased in November 2024 because we have frequent power outages where we live and liked the fact that this generator was dual fuel powered. We have used it twice in the past 2 months on propane and it worked great. I was able to make coffee and cook during these power outages which I have not been able to do previously. We liked the propane because it is more stable but also like the fact that we can use gasoline also.

WGen9500TFc

We had the generator delivered on a pallet, it took longer to uncrate and unbox it than it did to get set up and running. Put the engine oil in and connected the battery and straight to propane, 15 minutes and we had a running generator. It even came with push button start.

Well Crafted Generator

I got this generator a few weeks ago and I was very impressed with how well it was made. The options on this generator are amazing. I live on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and we have Hurricanes and storms with high winds and I feel so secure having this generator
