I bought a Westinghouse 9500 dual fuel generator less than a year ago. I have not had to use it yet. I do start it on a monthly basis just to keep up the battery and other things. Well, 8 months later and I have to purchase a new battery! With the cost of this generator the battery should not go dead this fast. The warranty to my understanding is not covered. This should not happen in less than a year of purchase. I do recommend this product but you better keep an extra battery handy because if the unexpected happens you will be without power!
I just purchased it and I'm already satisfied. I tested everything with the electrician and the generator panel, and it works very well. Good generator autonomy with the gasoline and propane option for long power outages. Remote start and stop option with a remote control.
I purchased this generator as a backup for our whole-house generator, which has failed during two different hurricanes. This generator will power all important devices, including some of our air conditioning. I've only tested it using propane, but plan on using both gas and propane when needed. Works as advertised. It is heavy, and noisy, but both I can work with. The manual is in serious need of a good technical writer but with enough investigation and intelligent guessing I was able to answer all my questions. (I used a little ChatGPT, too, but it also made mistakes.)
