beside all great features like dual fuel capable, electric start, and versatility in connection options, the one that excited me the most is the remote starter fob. knowing that I can turn the generator ON or OFF without exposing my self to the weather elements is the greatest feature.
Haven't started generator but impressed with build and features...researched before buying and impressed with reviews...friend also has one and has used several times and loves it...plus westinghouse has been around forever
We had our electrician set up our generator with a direct propane line with a cutoff valve, a circuit box with 10 circuits run by the generator which we can switch to when the power goes out. This is a sweet set up since when we need power, we simply turn on the propane valve, plug the generator into the secondary circuit box, start up the generator, and switch over to our generator box for power. No fumes that I've noticed, volume while running the 9500 is probably less than our lawn mower, and the power seems to cover our draw--unless perhaps we turn on every appliance in the house all at once. It's a real rescue for California outages due to fire danger in the summer or high winds in the winter!
Purchased this for emergency use primarily, but it be making some hunting trips also. Easy to start, runs quieter than I expected. Can carry on a normal conversation with it running. So glad I did my research
HELLO,AFTER LONG RESEARCH,I FOUND THIS GENERATOR.A UPGRADE IN SIZE AND DUAL POWER TO RUN MY WHOLE HOME IN A POWER OUTAGE. GREAT DEAL FOR WHAT YA GET. WESTINGHOUSE IS A STRONG COMPANY WHO HAS BEEN AROUND FOR AWHILE.LOOKING FORWARD TO TRY IT OUT WHEN HOUSE WIRING IS FINISHED FOR IT.SETTING UP FOR PROPANE ALSO BECAUSE POWER OUTAGE COULD ALSO MEAN NO GAS STATIONS AVAILABLE.VERY HAPPY WITH THIS SO FAR!
I received this 3 days ago and it was in perfect condition… unboxed and assembled easily and today I hooked up the propane tank, filled it with gas and stabilizer. Pushed the start button and Bam !! This generator is exactly what I was hoping for. The only thing I haven’t tried is 240v 50a and 30a but I did use the 30a socket for 120v and just like the rest of this unit, it works Beautifully.. I switched between gas and propane flawlessly…I even use the remote start from inside my home, through 2 walls, and it will start and stop the unit without fail… so far, I’m 100% positive that I made the right choice!!
