I just purchased my first portable generator. I was advised to buy a Honda or Briggs&Stratton. When I googled dual fuel generators, Westinghouse popped up. Did research on all three and found that the other two didn't have dual fuel generators. Bob Villa ranked Westinghouse third out of ten generators. Said the Westinghouse 9500 was best the bang for your buck. I picked it up six days after I purchased and looking forward to it keeping a number of things running when and if we lose power. Also be good to use at the deer lease.

Very user friendly and well placed components, have only had this generate a week or so and have had no issues with it. Assembly instructions were right on and has had no problems in any of the operations I have completed with it, and starts with ease every time its used !!

I read some of the prior reviews before I purchased this generator. I received the generator in good condition, lots of protective padding - I've had a few generators and my initial observation was how well and thought out it was. Some examples - outlets protected with rubber covers - battery charging port - HD sealed bearings in the wheels - battery disconnect plugs (new improvement not in manual) - fuel filter located for easy access - solid built fuel fill cap with internal screen - multi-meter display - easy access grounding lug just to name a few. This is one sturdy unit. The manual is very well written, complete, and easy to understand. Some additional points - the oil bottle provided will fill the generator to just the minimum fill level. I added some additional oil. The added battery disconnect plug is wired so the hot connector is not shielded. (not a safety issue just a preference) The generator runs at full speed all the time - a no load idle switch would improve fuel use. The manual could include a page with some sample wattage use examples. (ie Toaster 800w - Light 60w - coffee maker 200w ) Overall this is a well thought out unit. Glad I found it and got one.

Bought a W9500 a couple weeks ago, and right out of the box you could tell it was really well built. Basically all I had to do was dump oil in the engine, gas in the tank, plug in the battery and press the start button. It fired right up! Puts out plenty of power and is easy on fuel. Compared to competitors, it's a bargain for the power and quality you are getting.

Purchased generator to operate basic farm house needs. ,plus my coolbot cooler in barn. Simple setup with all the tools provided. It does a good job , quiet, steady and efficient. Since I bought it I have already had 2 occasions where I needed it for 8 hour power outage.

I am very impressed with the initial quality of this generator. This model has a lot of features and power for the money. I read numerous reviews before I purchased this brand. I am very pleased that this generator is quieter than my previous generator. The Smart Switch was also an added feature that I wasn't looking for but may end up using. I strongly recommend this product.

Just bought this generator and it was delivered fast. Two days early. Directions were easy to follow. Had it all together and running in no time. Was a lot quieter then I thought it would be with its size. Ran everything I asked it to and more. Would recommend this 12500 generator to anyone. Great machine.

It arrived, we got it assembled and all was well. A couple of weeks later started it up again but no power. Called their help line and finally got a case number and an email started with a tech. Through him / her we got replacement brushes and put them in and all is well!

Unboxed new generator and got it to run on propane. It would not put power out on 50amp circuit. Tried 120 volt outlets and they kept tripping the GFIC and would not stay powered. For one 120 volt outlet to work without cutting out. Not what I bought the generator to accomplish. I have a service ticket pending…

Rarely do I buy a product that I hope I never have to use. However,t if I ever need to use this generator, I have complete confidence in it. We did a test run when I got it and it worked perfectly. I was able to run my house off of it with no worries. I love it! I am so happy with this Westinghouse generator. My neighbor bought the very same one! The last time our power went out, I went six days with no electricity. Never again! The instructions are clear and are easy to follow. Love it!
