After lots of research I decided to go with a Westinghouse for there great customer support and quality product. With all the different brands of generators out there its hard to find one to invest in where you can trust the product to perform when needed. Westinghouse does just that.
after much research i purchased the westinghouse wgen9500 generator. so far everything looks great. I understand it is a sold piece of equipment. Look forward to having the security of westinghouse.
We were about to buy an installed, natural gas whole-house backup generator, but the trenching, new 400 amp service (electric company requirement), and on and on added about 50% to the already high price. This will keep us going through our too-frequent power outages and keep the heat on and the refrigerators and freezer running, and we can always take it somewhere if we want. I do plan on installing a tri-fuel converter, and this generator will easily allow that without cutting the frame of our new generator. We don't have propane but do have natural gas, which will be far easier than carrying and storing dozens of gallons of gasoline.
