Great tool

I bought this as a back up for my home electrical system. I like the idea of having the dual power, so I didn't have to rely on one type of fuel. The electric and remote start are very good features. No problem running my furnace, sump pump, heater, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, gas dryer, etc. After all, this is a must for your home!

Wonderful Machine

The generator started right up out of the box with some added oil and gasoline of course! I love the auto choke feature and the ability for remote start. I appreciate the monitor/gauge to display power output, this will be very useful. So far it has started every time; this is the most important "feature" for a generator. I am very impressed with the quality of all of the piece, components, and features on this generator.

Looks Great - hope we never have to use it!

Bought this to replace the 16 year old one for emergency use during hurricane power outages. We selected this one due to the dual fuel option. We plan on using mostly propane - better for the environment. Easy minimal assembly. Started right up. Couple issues with manual - manual gives directions for connecting battery that are not for this one. Also, the electric start says engine will auto choke, but we had to put choke on for it to start. That was initial start, so maybe it will work auto later. The crank start worked right away. We ran it on propane. Haven't used it yet, and hope we don't have to, but it seems to be just what we need.

Robust, sturdy, easy start, great power

This is my first generator and it is exceeding my expectations. Broke in with propane and got a natural gas conversion kit. It is running beautifully. Transfer switches on order and am looking forward to tying it in to the whole house. Please note, it is not the quietest...seeing about 80 - 90 dB based on how far you are from it. Planning on setting it up as needed on the back corner. Expect complaints from the neighbors if power is out for long....

WGen9500DF Great Design

We purchased this generator due to multiple power outages in our area this year. We liked that it has gasoline and propane fuel options and can be switched between the two. This generator is powerful enough that we are going to have an electrician set it up to run our house in the event of another power outage. We have multiple freezers and refrigerators so this will be greatly appreciated.

Great machine

This is a workhorse. The only think lacking was the instructions in the box was from an older model. I had to call support because what it was saying was not matching up with what I saw I front of me. Now in the description online it said the noise produced was like a loud dishwasher. I think it would be more accurate to say, a few loud industrial dishwashers put together. Hahaaa. But this is all small stuff

Justified top rating !

Though haven't put this generator to the full test yet, so far am impressed and pleased with everything about it. Out of the box seems very well constructed with easy final assembly/prep/startup and all the features that I was looking for - plus some. See no reason this generator won't fully meet my needs for years to come.

Great features at an affordable price.

My decision to purchase this generator was based on the wattage I needed and the features. I wanted a dual fuel generator in order to be prepared for an outage and fuels that might be available. I like having the option for propane as it is easier for me to store. I haven't owned this generator very long, but I did do a functional load test with both gasoline and propane. Having a 30 amp and a 50 amp outlet is important to me because I use both. I like that it has a start/stop button and a remote start/stop fob. It's also important that there is a manual pull cord as a backup.

Works great out of the box!

I'm just here for the free cover... But seriously... I'm still in the break in period however she started up on first try and purrs like a kitten. I'm very impressed with the build quality and have high hopes she's helps me me out for many years during hurricane season here in Florida.

Excellent design with great features

This is my second Westinghouse product (my first was their pressure washer). I am very satisfied with both products. The WGen9500DF started up and was purring in no time. An added benefit I wasn’t expecting is that it runs quieter than the Generac it is replacing. The remote start feature and digital readout places this product ahead of competitive products. Besides the usual running time meter, the digital display provides voltage, frequency, and maintenance reminders. I researched just about every brand in the market and happy that I decided on the Westinghouse. Based on my recommendation, three of my friends just bought the same Westinghouse generator.
