I just purchased this generator for our home and I have to say this thing is great when it comes to quality. Just a small assembly of the wheels and front feet adding oil and gas it is ready to go. Started right up and the thing that really amazed me was that it wasn't nearly as loud as I expected. I have it wired to my house using an interlock kit instead of a transfer switch. This way I can get full use of the generator without having to select certain circuits. Not looking forward to any power outages but I'll be ready when they happen. Highly recommend this generator for all off grid power needs.

I purchased this Generator 09/13/2024 because we have 5 or more power outages each year. My stepmother lives with us and she requires oxygen 24/7. We had a 2500W inverter which is difficult to start and was not sufficient power :2 refrigerator a large freezer and several interior lights. This unit has remote starting. We should have purchased a unit with the power, easy care, and easy start years ago. Don't purchase a little unit, you need at least 9500W run, 12500 start.

I purchased the WGEN9500 gas only genny as the only power source for building an off-grid home in the Rockies. This portable little beast never fell short through all seasons. In the winter we also had a 40 ft RV hooked up. We never had a power shortage as long as we kept it fueled. I highly recommend this genny for heavy duty and continuous use year round.

Note I have not yet experienced a situation where I would be in need of this device, However, upon unpackaging and firing it up, I am very satisfied and impressed with the product's design and functionality. Along those lines, I anticipate it to prove invaluable in my next outage.

I shopped and compared dozens of brands and models before deciding on the WGen9500. My Dad has had the WGen7500 for a couple years with no isaues, so I had some confidence in the Westinghouse brand even though the generator itself is made overseas (Vietnam). My purchase was to upgrade from a circa 2005 Coleman Powermate 5500 that served me well they many power outages. I was shocked that this 9500 watt generator was not much larger than the old Yamaha MZ300 powered 5500 and is actually noticeably QUIETER! Will be running it thru its paces soon after I complete a thorough and gentle break-in. My primary concern would be the THD rating -- Specs indicate up to 23% THD which would be disasterious to sensitive electronics and also would be rejected by battery backups/UPSs which I use many of. Anxious to see the actual noise level in the power output.

over all quite a unit - been like 15-20 years since last purchased a generator. quite a few improvements - bought the wgen9500dfc and it handles pretty much everything i used on it - except a/c - just havent needed a/c since i bought it. electric start is quite a luxury and it worked flawlessly in 10 below weather! Even though this generator is twice the capacity of my old one - its quieter. really like the option of dual fuel, and can hook it up to just about any electric configuration someone has. it was 99% assembled - only had to put on the wheels - really cant say enough about it. never thought i would say this but really, really like the plastic wheels. pneumatic wheels sound great but reality is a different story - over time they always loose air, even if its stored off the ground, and if you have the generator over time the tires end up with dry rot. this generator isnt any harder to push/pull than my other generator with pneumatic tires(had to go thru snow and uneven frozen ground). there are some minor issues which I havent liked. the on off switch has a plastic cover over it - i find it alot more difficult to flip the switch on and off because of the plastic cover. when turning the unit on there is an yellow light that comes on - a yellow light on all my other tools means - caution - something isnt right or ready - why not a green light. my generator is usually stored in a shed with no power to charge the battery - is it a 12 volt - can it be charged from a car - from a battery power pack - no mention in the manual about anything. the manuals - its kinda lacking at times. mine states thats there is a ECO mode switch - but there isnt one(manual is specific to my model only) and lastly my pet peeve - there isnt any dedicated way to drain the gas from the gas tank. i may loose power 10-12 times a year or a may not need my generator for 1.5-2 years. so i have to always drain out the gas and its a pain the way it is set up. lastly things just arent explained well in the manual - like this has a circuit breaker on it - but never explains what its for or when to use it - my last generator didnt have one - do i use it for everything? my generator is wired directly into my electric box – which has all circuit breakers so why do i need it - do i only use it for 120v electric cords? then we have the bonded neutral - which they tell you absolutely nothing about other than contact your electrician - i contacted 2 - the one that worked on my electrical connections and i contacted another - and neither knew anything about it. most of these are just part of a quick learning process - but could be better explained and in no way should it keep you from purchasing the unit. also i bought this because of the lower harmonic distortion that this generator has over other generators. over all this generator is a beast and am looking forward to many years of use

This is a great generator! It can run on natural gas, Propane, or gasoline (I only use non-ethical gas to prevent problems). It fits right in the back of the truck under where the fifth wheel connects. I'm going to use it to do some pressure washing with my electric pressure washer with water pumped from the pond. Gotta get it going!

Ordered generator on Saturday and received Tuesday in good condition. Read the excellent manual and quick setup guide. Put in oil and gas then charged battery a bit. Turned on gas valve and start switch. Pressed starter button and started generator. Light was flashing on start button then I pressed start button on fop and switch light turned green to reflect pairing. I ran the generator for 5 minutes and checked output. This is a great generator. I didn't have to mess with the choke to start it using the fop or start button. Later I plan to connect to natural gas for fuel. Also it fits in the cabinet I purchased for my 4.4kw generator. A bonus there because it connects to my transfer switch, grounding, and solar panel for battery charging. I may add to review after testing natural gas connection but overall I am pleased with this generator. Ed

I purchased my portable generator last month and received it last week. The installation manual was very good to put it together. My plumber ran the natural gas line and my electrician installed the manual transfer switch and ran the electric lines to my breaker box with no problem

This generator was purchased to support the construction of my new house while awaiting Duke Power to deliver power to the site. The generator provided all of the power that my subcontractors required and never skipped a beat. Excellent product! It is now in place as a back-up power supply for future power outages.
