This thing is a beast!
on June 7, 2024
Posted by: Wolfstep
from Huntsville AL
Initial review is this is a beast.
If your looking for a roll into your truck and go, this is not the one. It's heavy and huge!
With that said, ran it for the initial run in period with my 30ft travel trailer as the load, AC on and everything else electric I could turn on and it didn't even blink.
Startup of this generator was as easy as checking oil, adding gas and pressing the start button.
I haven't seen the problems others have whined about.
If I do ill update at a later time.
Follow the instructions, which are easy to follow, and you are good to go.
The only thing I did find noticeable is it is a tad on the louder site, but it is a V twin engine and again high in watts and amps so to be expected.
When the power goes out to the house, don't particularly care as it's outside.

What a BEAST!
on June 11, 2024

from Houston, Tx
I purchased this based on industry rating and am not disappointed! The output is great, having two 50amp outlets, pushing 12K each. My home has two AC units, so I installed Reliance 10 circuit transfer switch and the TRB0606C. The 10 circuit runs the smaller AC unit and eight other breakers, the TRB runs the larger AC unit and two other breakers. Love it and I can take it with me.

Biggest portable on the market; two 50 amp outlets
on June 17, 2024
Posted by: Scott on the farm
from Montgomery, Tx
Bought to support two buildings in close proximity to each other but totally separate electrically, so two 50 amp plugs was key for me. Just to power essentials in each building in an emergency. Recieved within a week or so of ordering, inclusive lift gate service (important). I live on a farm so have equipment to move heavy loads. But most importantly I feel prepared in case of a prolonged outage. With all our animals, simply leaving for while isn't an option. Very happy with whomever thought this product design up; well played!

Awesome Generator
on July 12, 2024

from Brazoria, Tx
I purchased this generator in preparation for the Texas 2024 hurricane season.
The setup was easy. The machine is well built.
I had a chance to use this generator during hurricane Beryl which hit my town on July 10th, 2024. Once we lost power, I was able to switch to this generator and it has performed great. We are in out 5th day without electricity and the generator is still running great.

We got the generator just in time when hurricane Beryl arrived. I put a easy start on my ac which causes less amps. The generator is carrying lights, fans,ac, tv, etc. The generator was easy to set up and running.love it👍

A beast, totally automatic, surprisingly quieter

No need to buy a cheap cover, cut the box it came in at the lowest point next to the ground as instructed, and the box makes a heavy duty cover with a little trim for the wheels

Power and Versatility in one
on July 16, 2024
Posted by: Greyfox
from Maryville, TN
Overall, I’m very impressed with this Westinghouse generator in terms of both the amount of power it provides, expansion capabilities, quality construction, and versatility of use.
I bought this generator to be primarily used for home power in case of emergency. With up to 12,500 watts of surge power and 9500 watts running power with gas, it can handle pretty much my entire house. I LOVE the dual fuel options, as I usually have plenty of propane I can use as well. Even though the surge and running wattage is a bit lower when using propane, I still have plenty of juice to power the necessary items when the grid goes down.
Esthetically, the generator is very handsome, with neat lines and logical functionality. I will be using the 30 amp/240 volt plug with a house transfer switch for now, but having a 50 amp/240 volt plug allows me to upgrade in the future.
Before I bought this generator, I did quite a bit of research. This generator, the Wes9500DFc is by far the best for the money.
I would highly recommend this generator if you’re looking for one of the best that combines awesome looks with high performance. POWER…VERSATILITY…QUALTY…you get it plus more with this Westinghouse 9500 DFc generator.
I would recommend this to a friend!
