I will say this is the first generator I've had that starts so easy. As for noise it does have a loud sound but you quickly forget about it when you really are needing it. The handle and wheels are a big upgrade from my last one,does make it easy to move and place where you want it, and once you fill it with has it does add a lot of weight to it,so I recommend putting it where you need it first. It has enough power that it ran my whole house for 8 hours during this last cold storm we had and I only filled it once. The push button start and remote are handy instead of having to pull start it. And once I get a shed put in for it the remote will be about the only thing I will use.

I been needing a good generator and I studied for weeks and went with the Westinghouse Generator cause it had the best reviews and all the features that I needed. It for emergency times and I feel confident that it will provide plenty of energy for when that day comes . I will run it once I get my propane tanks this week. Thank you Westinghouse for a great generator at a affordable price..

I bought this generator a couple weeks ago. We have not tested loading it up with connecting to our home but set up was easy. We did a test run with gas and propane. No problems. Push start is awesome! This generator is much quieter than expected. Nice surprise! Would recommend!

The first day I couldn’t get it to start, but I contacted technical assistance and they walked me through what I needed to do. So I appreciated their assistance/help. Bottom line is I had to hold the choke in the cold start position (it’s an automatic choke so it doesn’t stay in the cold start position as it tries to start, the choke starts moving unless you hold it) and I did use some starter fluid and that was the trick of getting it started.

So far so good. Havent needed YET. I was covered in blown cellulose insulation on a Friday. Power went off 20mins prior to arriving at home to no power; 22hrs later it was restored. Needless to say, I was miserable because Im on a well and couldn't pump water and also had to toss from items out of the freezer. NEVER AGAIN!!! Additionally, this particular model was well reviewed and came highly recommended as the "best bang for the buck." Im a contractor, so..if need be I can load this thing up and take it with me as opposed to spending the almost 15K for a "stand by" that also required a separate company for tank installation since propane is the only choice of fuel, plus permits. This is a win win!!!

AFTER RESEARCHING AND A VERY LONG TIME OF WEIGHING THE PROS AND CONS OF ALL THE GENERATORS OUT THERE, I KEPT COMING BACK TO THE WGEN9500DF. I JUST RECEIVED IT TWO DAYS AGO, VERY EASY AND QUICK TO SET UP. IT STARTED UP QUICKLY WITH THE REMOTE FOB AND SWITCHED EASILY FROM LP TO GAS NOT MISSING A BEAT... THIS GENERATOR IS MUCH QUIETER THAN ALL OF THE OTHERS I'VE HAD. I ONLY GAVE IT A FOUR STAR BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO PUT IT UNDER LOAD. I'LL COME BACK TO GIVE IT ANOTHER RATING AFTER I RUN IT UNDER LOAD. AT THIS POINT I DON'T FORESEE IT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS....

I bought this generator after researching on Consumer Reports. It was considered one of the best. After receiving it, I was pleasantly surprinsed at how easy it was to assemble and begin to use. It has worked flawlessly and produces all the power I need for backup power to my house.

Decent generator, it was powering our house for around 6 hours and burned about 2/3 of the propane tank. Two caveats - it is a bit too noisy, and the power input was a bit uneven, so the APC UPS was constantly reporting distorted voltage and switched back to battery.

Delivered sooner than was anticipated. Instructions were simple and easy to understand. Truthfully, I am hoping I will not have to use it for power outage. However, we will now be set if we lose power on the home. Plus when spring comes we will use for the power tools to build the greenhouse.

We purchased this generator to prepare us for the next power outage as we live in the Gulf Coast of Texas. I love the remote start and push button start feature and the overall look is very slick! It powered my entire house including my AC! We did install a soft start to make it easier on the generator when the AC turns on and off. Very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend Westinghouse! I’m actually looking forward to our next power outage!
