WGen9500DF Generator

This generator has many options that are great for the price, remote start, duel fuel is necessary for us in the country, up to 50 amp! My son also purchased this generator and living next to us we set them both up the same way so everyone would know how to set them up in a emergency.

Impressive Portable Generator

Installation of the miscellaneous parts i.e. wheels and support feet took very little time to complete, love the simple design and setup. Everything to get started was included which is great usually I must go purchase additional items in order to complete a setup, but not with this unit. In short Great generator, easy to use and move.

Compact and powerful

Bought for emergency backup, has the 50A NEMA plug necessary to power my house. Remote start cool even though I don't know what practical purpose it serves. Super easy to switch gas/propane. Nice that it keeps cranking until it starts with just one push.

Great generator!!!

This really checks all the boxes. Great price for what you get. Plenty of power. Duel fuel. Easy to move with the wheels. And I was pleasantly surprised as far as how loud it was. From reading some reviews I was expecting it to be real loud and unbearable. Is it whisper quiet? Obviously not. This thing is a Beast. But nowhere near what I was expecting. Don’t hesitate. Just buy it.

Almost Ruined It

I have owned several generators in the past (I'm 75 yrs old) and never had a problem. Down here in Louisiana with yearly hurricanes we lose power a lot. Almost ruined this one because the instructions about the oil is confusing. First. the unit has a yellow dip stick so when you put in new oil, which is yellow it is nearly impossible to see the oil level. Second,.the oil fill lays at a horizontal angle, (unlike a car which if a vertical fill tube) . so it is hard to fill and hard to read the level on the dipstick and very easy to overfill. Third, they give you a 1 quart can of oil but don't tell you how much it takes when you first fill it up. But low oil was the problem when I almost ruined my generator. At the start I put oil in and added more and kept checking the dipstick then I thought it was full. So I started it and it ran for just about 1 hour and shut off. I tried many times over several days and it would run for only a few minutes or not start at all. I called Westinghouse about one of their service centers. Anyway, after about 10 days I reread the manual and began all over again. Ultimately, when I had rechecked everything I found that the oil level was now showing LOW so I added more oil, almost the whole quart and it finally started and ran fine for 2 hrs until I shut it off. Reading the manual for the 15th time I finally saw where it says under the troubleshooting info, " low oil shut down switch is preventing the unit from starting". This switch must be located internally in either the engine or the crankcase not anywhere that you can see it!!! This i believe was my problem and I sure hope I have not ruined my brand new generator, especially with another hurricane coming!!!!

Great Generator To Have On Hand

We purchased this generator as a Christmas gift to ourselves. After much research this seemed to be the best one to fit our needs. We made an excellent choice. It is very easy to move around and to start, especially with the handy fob to start unit remotely.

Such a cool machine!

I bought the 9500DF generator in mid September after suffering from a few days with no power. This thing is a BEAST! Started right up after doing all the pre-start procedures for first time start. Being able to start it up from in the house with the key fob is priceless! I love it. I expect it will serve our family VERY well.

Great Features

I finally feel like I am protected in case our power goes out again. We live in the country so when we lose power we not only have no electricity, we have no water or toilets. I am excited that this generator will work on either gas or propane, that makes it very easy to get a fuel and store fuel for longer periods of time without it going stale. I did a lot of research and this gets very good reviews so I expect to have a good experience with it. I has good instructions that seem very clear.

Great value

This generator has a good power rating for a portable generator. The dual fuel option gives us flexibility if one type of fuel is hard to get or store. The multiple outlet types allow us to hook into a transfer switch, high wattage cable, or standard outlets.

Reliable on Gas!!!

Bought this about a month ago and needed to use it for the first time last night. Went to put it together (wheels and feet) and found out the thumb knob on the propane. So, gotta replace that but it ran fine all night while needed. Remote shutoff was EXCELLENT at 2 am this morning when power came back on.
