Design And Build Quality:

The design and quality of the generator must be kept top-of-the-line for better performance and achieving barriers. The design should be unique and must be minimalist for a  portable generator.

Some heavy-duty generators are so redundant in design that they failed in the market after launch.

Moreover, the build quality determines the rank of the generator in premium ones and justifies its price tag. Westinghouse WGen 9500 fulfills both the requirements of users, making it the most ideally designed a generator for heavy-duty appliances. 

The generator’s weight is about 95 kilograms, which is not ideally portable if you use it for a simple load. Other options are available for less-load usage, but the WGen 9500 provides a peak wattage of about 12500.

This justifies its weight, and the build material is also reasonable according to its price.

Outlets And Essentials:

Westinghouse WGen9500 takes care of heavy loads and provides the outlets needed for your appliances and any outing.

The generators have to fulfill their duty of providing outlets for specific amperes which can be used for different purposes. This also maps the possibility of the load that the device will have to bear.

Your car’s or RV van’s battery runs out. Fortunately, you got a portable generator with you, but it does not have an outlet for an RV. These problems are dealt with WGen 9500.

Fuel Tank, Fuel Options, Runtime:

A heavy-duty generator must have a good fuel tank capacity and better output. The fuel tank must be enough to carry the complete load for a reasonable time.

Westinghouse WGen9500 has a fuel capacity of about 6.6 Gallons, making it a good choice in heavy-duty generators.

The 457cc heavy-duty generator can give a maximum runtime of about 17.5 hours but may provide 12 hours of power backup in case of 50% load. A built-in fuel gauge is provided, which helps to check the current fuel level.

This is essential as it makes you aware of the fuel usage and if needing a refill. A low-oil shutdown feature enables the generator to stop functioning before it damages the engine, making it more long-lasting.

Load Capacity For Different Appliances:

The Westinghouse WGen9500  is a well-known heavy-duty generator and provides an astonishing 12500 peak Watts and  9500 running Watts.

This is more than enough for simple home appliances that may need power; moreover, WGen can support the load of heavy machines like refrigerators, air conditioners, and trailers. 

Most of the devices fall under the 9500 running Watts baseline of WGen, but it is necessary to keep in mind the load factor of the machines, and the generator must be kept in mind.

The generator can handle the appliance overload by itself and save its engine from low-oil damage.

Portability:

Generators are mostly used for portable power whether you need them for indoor tasks or if there is an outing promise to your loved ones that you need to fulfill.

Whatever the case, we need the power to perform our functions, which should not depend on the place.

Westinghouse WGen 9500 is in the category of heavy-duty and durable generators, which does not necessarily reflect its portable functionality.

However, the powerhouse weighs about 208 pounds which is still better compared to other options on the market.

Although its weight is clearly within the boundary of portable devices, this range is normal for generators. Moreover,  it provides a single-push start of the generator and a remote that can be used in a range of about 700 yards. 

Maintenance And Warranty:

The care and warranty of generators are the top factors that affect their sale in the market. Most users prefer devices that require less maintenance and provide a longer warranty.

Thus, a generator should cost less maintenance and provide a warranty up to a minimum tenure of 3 years.

WestinghouseGen 9500 requires less maintenance and also takes care of its oil level. Although you should regularly check the oil level in the engine, that will prevent damage to your engine.

Westinghouse provides a 3-year warranty for the generator and technical support for a device for a lifetime. 

Impact On The Environment:

A generator must be quiet and produce less toxic material for the environment. You may disturb your neighbors and face issues if your generator produces extreme noise pollution. Thus, a generator should be less noisy and produce less air pollution.

Westinghouse WGen9500 is a sophisticated design generator with less noise pollution and the trust of Westinghouse, which has been serving people for 130 years.

They care about the environment, and their product is passed by CARB (California Air Resources Board).

CARB’s standards for catalytic converters are well respected, and they have strict rules for emitting devices. Thus, WGen 9500 is a heavy-duty and environment-friendly generator.
