Kelly and I bought this because a couple of times a year we will be out of power for a few days. We considered a whole house generator, but we decided on a portable one because we may move in the next few years. We normally would need backup power during the winter so we wouldn't need to run the AC in the south. Even though this one would provably run the AC system. It was easy to assemble out of the box, put on wheels and rubber footing. Put in engine oil, fuel and it fired right up. We also have natural gas at the house, which would give us a more abundant fuel source. As gasoline could be scarce during extended power outages. I would buy this one again.

My son in law bought a small generator during a power outage and had to run the refrigerator and window air conditioner in shifts. For a little more I equipped my home with the Westinghouse 9500 and am able to power most everything during a power outage. The remote start, alternate fuel source and multiple outlets make using it family friendly usage for all.

I bought this a few weeks ago and am still going through the break in process (no power outages yet!). It was easy to assemble (wheels and legs) and get started. While breaking it in I have powered some appliances and small power tools with no issues. Our plan is to connect it to our gas supply and install a transfer switch. I am almost looking forward to a power outage. The electric start makes it easy to start for two senior citizens. I would recommend it heartily to anyone.

I purchased in 12/2024 for power outage backup along the coast of Maine. Have not had the opportunity to use yet. But the dual fuel option Model WGEN9500DFC also has a remote start. Friends who purchased for their home spoke highly about the product.

Very impressed with the power output of this unit and how easy it is to use. I wish the instructions were a bit more specific to my particular model as a recommended me to do certain things with photos that weren't applicable, however, it was pretty easy to Navigate despite that. I hope to never need to use this for a power outage, but glad I have it in case it happens.

Recently purchased after hurricane and snow storm to not have to worry about going powerless again. Very easy to put together and after adding oil and gas it fired right up. So far very pleased with this product. Love the electric start for the wife.

My daughter purchased our Westinghouse Generator (we call it “The putt-putt”) several months ago and have used it 2 times as a test and 4 times during actual black-outs (we live in a forest). Both the gasoline and propane systems have worked perfectly. All the black-outs were fairly short-lived, so fuel usage was well within my requirements, and switching between fuel supplies was also effortless and without problems. The remote start worked every time, even the times I started remotely to show off the unit for some friends. I really like this unit.

Just got it and it looks great! Easy assembly and seems to be very well made. Westinghouse is a quality name and I felt good buying this brand over others. I intend to use it with a transfer switch as backup power in the event we lose power. Seems like an ideal setup and should work great!

Just install the wheels and frame feet, add the oil and you're ready to go. You'll need some 2x4 or 4x4 blocks if it's just you setting it up. It's heavy. Started right up on both LP and NG. However, I was unable to pair the remote electric start to the fob. It's nice that it came with the quick connect hoses. Remember to run the break-in oil for 5 hours

I purchased this to replace a good-running portable generator that we've been using for emergency whole-home backup during a power outage. The old one had low hours, but we needed a more powerful generator to work with our well. Being tri-fuel, this generator makes it very convenient for us now that we can hook right up to our natural gas supply line at the house -- no more running to the gas station during a power outage. The build quality seems to be excellent.
