Started right up

The generator was easy to assemble (10 min. tops). Tools and battery were a bonus. I hooked up a propane cylinder and it started immediately when the start button was pressed. One minor annoyance is the frame is out of plumb. It does not seem to impact operation but is noticeable and causes the wheel to rub on the battery holder.

Extremely well made!

After hours of research and seeing our local utility company utilizing this product, we decided to purchase this generator. We live in the Creek Fire Zone and have had multiple power outages. Although we haven't used it yet, my husband is extremely happy with the quality of craftmanship and all the bells & whistles.

WGen9500DF

Westinghouse WGen9500DF has all the features I was looking for in a generator. It's even quieter that my old generator. Generator is dual fuel so it can run on gas or propane. It always great to have fuel options when gas has a high demand. The WGen9500DF has a remote start so I can hook up the generator to the house and start from inside. Long 12 hrs run time on 6.6 gallons of gas. I'm very impressed with the ST Switch which will automatically start your generator when you loss power. Sorry, this switch is an extra purchase. If you do not have your house wired up it's worth it. All these features stand out which makes it one of the best portable generator on the market. I'm not disappointed so far.

Pretty nice, get a tank heater for cold weather.

I've barely reached the break-in period. All good so far. A note for cold weather; get an electric propane cylinder heater (120W) for use in cold weather. At -10F, my full 20 lb cylinder ran the generator for less than an hour before it was unable to vaporize fuel quick enough to feed the generator engine.

Just What I Needed

This generator is built solid! Not only does it have the Dual Fuel option, but it is also remote start/push button start. Now my wife can roll out the generator and get it going. Very pleased with the build product of this generator. Highly Recommended!

Excellent Value!

Excellent features, particularly digital readout for real time AC cycle, Voltage, Hour meter, main breaker and maintenance reminder. They even included a battery charger for the starter battery. 50 Amp and the ability to get more Watts with gasoline if necessary. It fired right up on propane after straight forward initial setup (under an hour includes unpacking) with tools provided (you need your own wrench(s) for the propane line). Nice fit and finish quality and details like ball bearing wheels, battery switch and top hinge outlet covers. I removed the battery and a wheel to lace in the 50 Amp chord and zip tied to the battery to avoid wheel chafe. Very pleased with it!

Excellent Generator!!

I bought this generator on Monday and it was delivered to my house on Friday. I unpacked it and found no damage at all and it was very easy to install the wheels and feet to the frame. I hooked up the gas line and propane a pushed the start button and it started after 1 try !! I will be ready for the hurricanes this year and many years to come. This a quality built unit at a very reasonable price.

Shipped well and easy to set up

I bought this generator in anticipation of the upcoming winter freeze season. As a first time generator owner, I enjoyed that it was shipped cleanly and simple to put together. The documentation is well written and easy to understand even for a newbie like me. I love the ability to use propane as a fuel source since I use propane more than gas around my house. My only complaint would be that it came with conventional oil as opposed to synthetic oil. That isn't enough to knock it down a star however.

Great value for money

I have only owned this product for approximately one week. The quality of the unit as well as the packaging is outstanding. I plan to have it connected to the house for standby power late next week and hopefully everything will work well. The only reason I didn’t get it five stars is prior to purchasing it I tried to find service locations and there virtually none in the immediate area. So if the unit has a major problem I probably will not be able to get it repaired.

I made the right choice!

I came very close to purchasing a less expensive, gasoline generator last week. In fact, if they hadn't been out of stock, I probably wouldn't be leaving this review. I cannot begin to tell you how glad I am that they were. My new WGen9500DF is absolutely amazing. The quality and features of this generator are second to none. The dual fuel option is an absolute must if like me, you're purchasing a generator as part of your emergency preparedness plan. I'm a retired Firefighter with 37 years of service. I thought about getting a generator many times, but never seemed to get around to it. The events of the last few months have made me realize that a quality, reliable generator is a must to help ensure the health and safety of those you love.
