I live on the Outer Banks of NC where there are a lot of storms that cause power outages. This generator will meet my needs to power my fridge and freezer and other items until the power comes back on.
I just received this unit yesterday, so I haven't used it yet. I installed the feet and wheels in about 10 minutes, added the supplied oil, plugged in and charged the battery (was already charged), and linked the remote. Hit the start on the remote and it started right up. Now all I need is another hurricane to give a good workout.
I ordered and it was delivered on time, with no damage right to my garage as promised. I have not had a chance to run it yet but hopefully it runs as good as my purchase experience has been so far.
I bought this on September 12, 2018 but due to illness I left in box sealed. Started it up last month and she runs like a top. I worked for Westinghouse back in the late 60's as a nuclear project engineer on the polaris nuclear submarine program and I have always been very proud of Westinghouse products and their performance.
Used this unit for about 10 hours under moderate to heavy load on a mobile food trailer and it held up very well so far. Consistent power to my 240v/50amp system which operates multiple heavy load appliances including an electric smoker (1800 watts) and (2) steam tables (1200 watts each). The price and features including electric start have impressed me.
Recently purchased my new Westinghouse generator after my old one just wore out after twenty years. I waited several months until this model was back in stock and it was well worth the wait. The 9500 produces plenty of power and has many great features.
