Unboxing and Assembly of Westinghouse 9500 Tri Fuel Generator! Upgrade to a WGen9500tf!!

[@MrCristianperez5]

Thank you sir for helping me get this up and running. Much appreciated!

@@MrCristianperez5 You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@CoryPeek1]

Great video, I just picked this one up today (in the houston area).

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@CoryPeek1 Thank you. They have really great reviews so we are hoping we made a good purchase! Thanks for watching!

[@twodeepmatt]

Just went through Milton and still recovering. Strongly considering this generator!

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@twodeepmatt Fortunately, we haven’t needed it yet. However, testing it on “dry runs” seems to do pretty good. Hope yall faired well. Thanks for watching!

[@bongo646]

Take it from somebody that’s had one for three years. Do not buy this model or any Westinghouse warranty sucks if you have any problems with it, they will not fix it. They don’t even recontact you.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@ I hope if I have issues, I have better luck!

[@GH-wt7ww]

I can't wait to see how it does on NG. I've been looking at this model and wanting to run my 5 ton AC with micro air easy start flex.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@GH-wt7ww I will be able to tell you soon. I’m going to complete the break in procedure this weekend and then hook up to my inlet box. I will attempt to start my 3.5 ton Trane (without a soft start). I will be post a review soon! Thanks for watching!

[@kevinr5187]

Hello, In Texas also, I bought the IGEN10500 version of this one about a year ago and I was able to run my 4 ton AC (without softstart), lights and TV in my house without issue and this was running on propane. If I had to purchase again I would purchase the IGEN11500 simple because the it has less that 5% total harmonic distortion, cleaner power. Why the biggest version has cleaner power I have no idea, but that what the web site spec say. May consider the IGEN11500. I know its a little more expensive and don't for get Lowes and Home Depot offer 10% off to Vets' if you are one as I am.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@kevinr5187 in hindsight, I wish I would have waiting for the availability of the 10500 or 11500. I know it would have given a much better “buffer”, especially when running large 240v appliances. Thanks for watching and thank you for the input!

[@JetFire9]

@@GH-wt7ww Hope you didn’t get the Flex. Micro-Air has become a garbage company by knowingly selling junk in the form of the Flex. Go with literally any other brand of soft start.

[@GH-wt7ww]

@@JetFire9 I did install the Flex model earlier this year. There was a little moisture spot on the clear screen after about a month. Micro air sent me a new one and it's been about 3 months now so far no issues. HVAC co stated they have replacing a few of them of all brands here in Houston,Tx.

[@AXNJXN1]

HUGE recommendations to consider would be PROPER Break-In oil and installing dual magnetic oil drain plugs and a magnetic oil dipstick. You will and SHOULD get YEARS of service out of it by these three simple upgrades and for under $100.00 add incredible longevity to your machine by this simple mechanical upgrade. No compressor I own gets less and only wished we had these over the last 40 years, probably could have saved more motors!

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@AXNJXN1 Will definitely consider your suggestions! Hopefully, the supplied oil was good for break-in! Thanks for watching!

[@lg3476]

Hi, Im a lady here do you know if we have to add this before first use or can we install even after we have already used it?

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@lg3476 The “break-in” oil is used upon initial start-up and run time during the break-in procedure. However, the supplied oil should be more than sufficient, so long as you follow break-in procedures. The magnetic drain plug and dipstick can be added at any point during the life of your machine. Obviously, the sooner either or both are installed, the better the benefit. Thanks for watching and good luck!

Great vídeo just pivked mine up today

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@jorgemurillo8759 Thank you. They seem to be a good unit. Thanks for watching!

[@kerplunk38880]

Definitely should go with an inverter generator. They sip fuel in comparison and out clean power. Good luck.

[@VMac-eg7fb]

What would be a good brand, thanks.

Westinghouse portable generator: $999 12,500 peak watts 9,500 run watts Runs up to 12 hours on a 6.6 Gal tank 74 dBA noise level 209 lbs Westinghouse inverter generator: $1,150 10,000 peak watts 7,600 run watts Runs up to 12 hours on 5.28 Gal tank 79 dBA noise level 147 lbs Just some fun facts about those 2 different kinds. All that information is in the owners manual with those 2 generators.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@riddles4237 Good information. I may consider one of those next time or as a “second” generator!

[@kerplunk38880]

@@riddles4237 Just some more fun facts. Westinghouse is a bottom tier inverter generator. Fuel consumption of all Westinghouse generators is subpar.

[@retiredAF1994]

I had one of these on order and canceled it because I realized going inverter would be better for whole house. Genmax 10500 tri fuel.

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@retiredAF1994 I will check them out. How much did it cost?

[@JetFire9]

Very unreliable brand.

[@167bustillo]

Were you able to run your HVAC with the natural gas? If so, what size A/C unit do you.have?

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@167bustillo Hey! I’ve been bogged down with working on two trucks, so haven’t had time for the generator test with the AC yet. My AC is a 16 seer 3.5 ton Trane. I will post an update video as soon as I can. Thanks for watching!

[@avguytx4361]

Unfortunately it's still a high 25% THD on the output. The Wgen11500tfc at $1499 is 5% and a tri fuel. It should be fine for many things but appliances with their newer circuit boards, HVAC systems with control boards, smart thermostats (some), cpap and medical stuff, etc., could most likely have issues with it. Some lights flicker too....especially cheap LED's. Lesser expensive generators are nice for some things....but...I wouldn't trust one on my $450k house. I have a pair of inverter generators where I can run one for 5500 watts or two for 11,000 watts when needed and it's >3% THD

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@@avguytx4361 Yea, I really wish I would have held out for the 11500tfc but found the 10500 and jumped on it. Thanks for watching!

did you unbond the neutral?

@@dsgbhhh7242 I left it bonded to frame.

Never buy this one. This one is fool's gold. It has hideously high THD, which will mess with your electronics, and it doesn't have an oil filter screen to protect the engine. Spend just a few extra bucks and get a good one like the Westinghouse Wgen11500TFc.

[@bongo646]

Please do not run your electronics with this generator. It will fry them. I’ve had great luck with mine until recently and it’s dropped power rating down to 218 instead of 240 W. houses warranty is horrible. They don’t call you back. Also none of my local generator people will even work on a wing house which really pissed me off, I don’t know what I’m gonna do with mine if it keeps losing power

[@TexasPatriotOffRoadAndOutdoors]

@ I need to check this out. May have to look at some kind of safety switch or something. Thanks for watching!
