9500DF

Took a month to get here but finally here. Funnel to add oil is beautiful. Works like a charm. Hard to fill with gas without spilling. Owners manual mentioned nothing of manual battery disconnect, battery comes connected. Took following the wires to find it hidden zip tied. Fob was already paired so that was nice. I will try to see if auto choke works. I manually set choke and starts right up.

Wgen9500df Awesome out of the box

Unboxed, assembled today and ran the unit with both fuels. Started on 1st turnover. Get off the fence this unit is the one to have. Contacted customer service for information on the unit b4 I received the unit and they exceeded my expectations by offering advice to keep that warranty safe.

Easy to set up and run

Bought this a month ago but due to covid finally assembled it and started it with the propane hook up. Love the electric and remote start. Tested the 20amp plugs, worked great. Waiting for my power cord to deliver next week and test my new 50 amp setup. I was able to run my house on my old 30 amp set up on a 6000 w generator but its 20 years old. It did a good job when needed but this new Wgen 9500df unit should do an even better job. Once my cord delivers i will test the unit and report back

Runs the whole house

I got the WGen9500DF and it will power my whole house. It starts right up with the remote key fob and the choke engages automatically to get the engine running. It has the 50 Amp socket which transfers the power to my house in one power cord. It runs on gas and propane and has great fuel efficiency. Not as worried about hurricanes now!

Super Powerful - Dual Fuel - Simple Setup

Bought a WGEN9500DF for Xmas for myself. Old gas generator was just painful. What a great generator so thanks Westinghouse. Setup was simple The remote/push button start could not be any easier. Choice of gas or propane. Has all the connections I need and this unit runs my entire 330o sq ft home. Bought in November but setup this weekend with the impending East Coast storm.

Plenty of power and easy start up

I bought this generator to replace a generac 5500 for use here in FL. So far I am very pleased. I can ue gasoline or propane, a nice option. Electric start makes using this generator easy. I ued to dread running out of gas during the night and having to go out in a hurricane to refuel and then struggle pulling the cord to get it restarted.

Very impressive

First off, very well packaged and easy to assemble. Second is it has electric start with a remote. The thing I'm most impressed by is it actually puts out 244vac and not some cheap half voltage. I tested it out with a plug and homemade TS and it's definitely going to come in handy for power outages

Great features and easy to understand

Just received the generator and it runs very well, started right up on propane. A little loud but normal for a generator this size. Easy to understand directions and the quality is good. They could have put better packing material because the box was damaged with some damage on the frame.

Initial run

Couple of items during setup worth mentioning for future owners. First, the oil supplied is 1.16 liters which the tag says is the capacity. After putting oil in and checking level it was below the level for operation as shown in the owners manual. I added more until mid way in the operation range, didn’t measure how much but probably closer to 1.4 liter total. Second item was the owners manual tells you to connect the battery cables but were already connected? What it didn’t tell you was the cables have a modular plug which is tie wrapped and tucked up under the sheet metal so not obvious. Only after a no start and beginning to troubleshoot did I find the connection. Started on propane for initial run, fired up after a few turns and ran smooth. Plugged in a space heater to check for picking up load and all is well. Did not test 240V connection, still need to install my transfer switch then give it a try to see how well it carries bigger loads. So far meets my expectations.

Solid Power House on two wheels!

Super surprised on how easy it was to unbox, "assemble" (wheel kit and feet)...easy peasy. Follow the set up instructions and its smooth sailing. Not hard to move around. Started right up, ran perfectly. Had electricians over to install a lock out and soft start for AC...they were ultra impressed with the fit and finish. Load tested - this can run every essential in my home if power goes out. There are some things that you must prioritize, dryers, over constant AC, stuff like that - Gave me super confidence for winter and summer brown outs. It will take a while to get to know it better, plan on using it once a quarter and making a use log for maintenence needs. So far - A+
