Great Generator and Great Price for the size

Have had the generator for over a month now during a long power outage. Very easy to assemble. Hardest part was putting the oil in which there is a funnel provided and just make sure you pour it in slow. Not an issue at all. Not very loud at all. Was able to run water heater and Pellet Stove while also powering all the 110 outlets in the home including Frig and Freezer. Very happy with the power output.

LOVE duel fuel / easy start / easy to move

Following a recent spinal stenosis surgery now limiting my ability to lift no more than 10 lbs, I ordered this specific generator. I was able to assemble it quickly while working within my medical limitations. Per only the prophane, the generator fired up immediately and has operated flawlessly.

Looks great and works well

Bought this last June and got it earlier than promised and in perfect condition! Had my electric guys hook it up to my house panel with an Interlock ( Permits pulled) to my 2300 sqft home. My AC is 3.5 ton and this pulled it on Gasoline with no problem, even when switched to Propane!! Switched on HVAC Handler and lights in house and 0 problems. Ran a 50amp receptacle through the wall and hooked the 50amp cable to the generator 50amp outlet. Ran this for 1/2 hour on both and am impressed with the electric start (battery included and charged) and remote key fob start!! (Fob came programmed too!) Even comes with a trickle charger for the battery. SW Florida (Port Charlotte) hurricanes and storms come through almost every year so, we are ready! This machines hums along like a quiet lawnmower as well. Told some friends and family members about it :)

Excellent Tri-Fuel Generator

After studying tri-fuel generators carefully for the last several months, I finally pulled the trigger on purchasing this Westinghouse 9500 TFC. Could not be happier with the purchase. This generator is absolutely solid. Setup was a breeze, and coupled with a power inlet box to my my panel, I can confidently power up much of my entire house, including my air conditioner. Instructions are clear and simple. Generator was packed and shipped very securely. Highly recommend the tri-fuel series. Running this off of natural gas straight from my house.

Pretty nice, get a tank heater for cold weather.

I've barely reached the break-in period. All good so far. A note for cold weather; get an electric propane cylinder heater (120W) for use in cold weather. At -10F, my full 20 lb cylinder ran the generator for less than an hour before it was unable to vaporize fuel quick enough to feed the generator engine.

Well built unit

Bought this unit after quite a bit of research and reading other reviews. I will be using it as a back up generator if the situation ever arises. During testing it powered just about everything in my house with no problems. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a portable back up generator.

Power Plus

I bought this generator a few weeks age it, online pic is deceiving it looks quite big but size is only 2 1/2 feet long x 1 1/2 feet wide & 2 feet high w/o wheels 2 1/2 feet with wheels installed, everything came in one box all I had to do is connect battery install wheels & rubber stands and add oil & gas, easy start, pushed start button started right up, runs nice & smooth.

Complete Solution, Full of Features

A solid generator with a ton of options and flexibility. Power output is solid for the units size. It's large, but not all that difficult to move around by hand thanks to the nice and solid handle. Great to have electric start, including the remote. It worked very well and makes it easy to start by anyone (while also having the pull cord as backup). It includes a charger for the battery which is great to keep the battery charged and ready to go. Also being dual fuel gives a lot of options. I like the propane option. Running off a 20lb grill gas tank is super easy, and avoids having to put gasoline in the unit making it heavier to run and requiring stabilizer when it sits for long periods of time. yes, output capacity is slightly derated on propane, but the ease and clean burn from propane is worth the trade. Overall a solid unit with a ton of features. Very happy with the purchase.

A full featured high output generator...

I bought this on Christmas Eve 2020 after a storm had downed our power line. The generator that I already had failed to start initially, and when I did get it running, wouldn't generate any power. Fortunately for that event, just as I had finished unpacking the generator and fueling it, our main power was restored. The next day, I returned to the garage to test this new unit, and after engaging the choke, pressed the starter button and it fired up immediately. It's great to have the small screen that shows the voltage (240) that's generated. It also has an hour meter so you know where you are in a maintenance cycle. Remember to press the GFI?/breaker? button in the middle of each 120V plug set to enable as in poor light I missed it, thinking they were not working. I especially like the electric starter compared to none on my previous 10hp unit. I am very pleased with my purchase!
