Powered home in time of need

Within a week of buying i got to test it out in a real world situation. Worked flawlessly to power my whole home. Ran my fridge, computers, furnace, garage, lights, etc. Nice design/layout, easy to get to the parts for any possible future replacement, a solid frame and good wheels. What more do you need.

Love that its Dual Powered!

I bought this a little over a month ago and glad I did! With all this unpredictable weather, it has been nice having this as a back up when the power went out on us one time, with the ability to use either LP or Gas made hooking it up and using it to keep the house warm enough without freezing the pipes was a blessing!!

Starts easily!

I bought this generator to replace a 20 year old Onan portable generator I use for back up power to my house. I run off propane so I don't have to worry about gasoline going bad or the carburetor gumming up. I got it out of the box. filled up the oil, connected the propane line and turned on the propane tank. I tried the remote control first and it started right up on the second try and ran it to get warm then stopped it with the remote. Waited a few minutes then tried starting it with the start button on front panel and it started right up. Let it run a few minutes then stopped it with the front panel start/stop button. I am impressed with its performance right out of the box. The remote is a nice feature too.

Versatile, reliable, powerful.

We were deeply humbled when this last hurricane hit us last month. We were no strangers to hurricanes, severe storms, and flooding. So when the power went out at 5 am, we were expecting it to return by noon. It took over 5 days for Centerpoint to restore power to our house. This was a rude awakening, especially since temperatures were in the 90's with 90% humidity. We lost a lot of our frozen game, even though we grilled for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After extensive research, we settled on this Westinghouse Generator. We have a liquid propane refilling station a couple of miles away, which made this generator a no brainer. After running it through it's break in process, we were confident it would serve us well once the next storm hits us. Kinda bummed it doesn't have a 12v output but with all of the plugs, it shouldn't be a problem. I appreciate the spark plug cross reference chart for other brands, just in case we need to replace it in an emergency.

Best generator out there!

This is my second Westinghouse gen. I needed one that could handle 250 Volts for high demand 50 amp motors (RV fifth wheel AC; 3 hp car lift electric motors , etc). It’s not as quiet as 120 V reg generators but not bad. Make sure you look at more than the Watts when buying a Gen ….consider the Volts needed to operate items. My 120 V / 4500 watt gen would not operate an AC that only needed about 2,500 watts / but 250 Volts.

Just what we needed.

We anticipate this generator will meet all of our power needs except HVAC in the event of a hurricane and long power outage. It has all of the power and features we need without the high price of a permanent generator. We'll be running it from and underground propane tank and with a transfer switch to our panel. We're happy with our purchase.

New Generator Purchased for home power outages

I had 3 power outages in 2025 so far in southwestern PA due to severe weather storms on 2 occasions and a transformer fire on another occasion. The two storms left me without power for over 48 hours both times. I had to borrow a generator on all occasions being my house is all electric. I purchased this Westinghouse WGen9500DFc after researching and reading ratings and reviews. I haven’t fully used it for a power outagage but did the it with some tools. It worked great. Note: be sure fuel switch is in the ON position when trying to start it for the first time. So far I’m liking the generator and feel confident I won’t be left in the dark or cold if another power outage strikes.

Perfect for the cold, wet, windy Oregon weather.

I am replacing a Generac 30amp gas unit with the 9500DF to get the convenience of the dual fuel and higher amps. Right out of the box you can see the quality difference of the units. The manual is clear and concise and leaves nothing unanswered. I found one issue with the manual which I like to read before opening anything. the 50 amp output socket is shown on 2 pages; one has the ground plug up and the other shows it down. Confused me a bit as I am planning on making my own cable and could not find any plugs with the ground down that did'nt have the cable going up which would cause too much strain. Of course once I opened up all the way I could see that the socket is ground pin up. love the GFCIs,as it removes the need for the long grounding stake. Ive had 4 different gens over the years and this is by far the quietest that I've had. don't be mistaken; it's not quiet just the quietest so far. I love the way it starts itself and the fuel switching on the fly. We have several outages here(in the country) and it is really a pain because we never know how long we'll be out of power. In fact it is mid-october and we've had three in the last month. The last one was about 25 hrs and had to refill the old gen 3 times. The dual fuel should end that problem for us.

Westinghouse generator

Last year, I was not ready for 2 hurricanes in two weeks. Helene and Milton packed a one-two punch that left me without powrer (I live on the central west coast of Florida). My mind is at ease now that I have this generator. Portable, remote start and dual fuel options won me over. So glad I bought this.

So Far So Good

Have only started it, but it started with no issues. I have an electrician coming out to do the wiring so i can properly connect it to the house circuits. I will try to do an update after I have had a chance to use it to power the house. So far so good and I am satisfied with the purchase. I really like the dual fuel feature.
