Easy to set up. Heavy but easy to move around once the wheels are on it. Awesome features. Love the dual fuel option, the push to start and the remote start options. The outlets have nice rubber covers for protection. I have a Generac HomeLink manual transfer switch system so I'll be connecting this Westinghouse generator using its L14-30A. outlet.
I bought this generator after Hurricane Beryl devastated Texas. We were without power for a week and had medical equipment that needed to be powered. With the heat and health issues, this generator was a lifesaver and powered our whole home.
Living on the gulf coast, we have frequent storms and lose power for extended times. I have a couple small Westinghouse inverter generators that have worked perfectly. Our biggest problem is that we have a water well and trying to keep the refrigerators and freezers running while using a small window unit to keep 1 room cool while we wait for our power to be turned back on. We just had Hurricane Beryl hit us and we lost power for 4 days. No showers, had to haul water to flush toilets, moving extension cords constantly to keep everything going. Very exhausting to say the least. After much research and great reviews, I purchase the WGen9500 Dual Fuel and installed a generator disconnect to my breaker box so I could power my whole house. I got the dual fuel so I can have a couple 100# propane bottles for backup as sometimes finding gas after a windstorm is impossible.
I received the generator in perfect condition, read through the manual, added the supplied oil and filled the tank with fresh gas. I quick push of the remote and if fired up on the first try. I performed the initial break-in by plugging in a shop fan, small electric heater and a 1hp air compressor. I let them cycle for 8 hours and the generator never missed a beat.
The following weekend, I connected it to my house. I flipped the breakers on all of the un-necessary items, just keeping my water well, my 4 ton ac and refrigerator and freezer running. The 9500 ran everything just like I needed to too. Hopefully we won't have another windstorm for a long time, but if we do, I'll be ready with the WGen9500. The remote start is going to be a lifesaver for sure!
