Easy set up and product

Bought to replace a smaller 5800 watt coleman. Super easy set up just put the wheels and legs on and add oil. Battery was already to go but I charged it to make sure. Fob worked from far away. I like the auto start feature where it tries 3 times to start with on push of fob or start button. Dual fuel cut over is great. I may try propane first before I ever put gas in. This is for emergency use in CA where we have fire prevention power shut offs that can last 5 days. Dont have my transfer system installed yet so I only did a few extension cord tools at once. Nice feature is multi gauge that shows voltage and power use.

Great features

Purchased generator online 11/16/24, arrived on 11/22/2024. The unit seems to be very well built and started up immediately. I love the layout of the unit and all the safety features. We have not experienced a power outage yet. But when we do, it's nice to know this Westinghouse generator is here to depend upon.

Exactly as Expected

Bought this generator after loosing power 3 times in 2 months and couldn't be happier with this product. The generator runs well on both propane and gas(ethanol free recommended) and the switch is nothing more than a flip of the switch. Doesn't bog down under standard load and not excessively loud. Would definitely recommend for someone who wants the versatility of the dual fuel.

Great Features

Arrived in good shape, no damage. Started right up and runs well. It is replacing a Honda generator for much less money. I love the remote start. Waiting for a power outage to test on the house, we live in California so it should not be to much longer.

Great dual-fuel generator option

I purchased this on preparation for hurricane season, and it's good to have one any time of the year when the power goes out. I wanted one that had the option of gas or propane, and high enough running wattage on both to run what we plan to. I'm setting it up so that it can be connected to our breaker panel and provide 50 amp service, then use the breakers to decide what gets power and when. I initially set up and tested the generator when I received it, no issues and ran well. I have had to use it once during a brief power outage we had recently, and since I don't have the breaker panel setup going yet, just used an extension cable. We ran our refrigerator, a light, and my wife's dryer for a bit, no issues. I haven't had a chance to put a heavy load on it yet, so we'll see how it goes when I do.

Good Product

The WGen9500 is a good well built generator with good features. The instructions were good. There were no missing parts and I was glad that engine oil was included to initially fill it. The only problem I had was with assembly, attaching the mounting feet. The bolt receptacles are nuts welded to the frame. Welding spatter was in the threads and the I couldn't start bolts. It took some work to clean out the threads so they would accept bolts.

Received in Perfect Condition/Ease of assembly

With upcoming hurricane season it was time to get a proper generator. Purchased this unit and it arrived in excellent condition and easy instructions to get it up and running. Started right up using the propane option and runs reasonably quite for a large unit. I can’t say “I can’t wait for a hurricane” but at least I’m better prepared. You should be too.

Excellent features

This generator was exactly what I was looking for. Love the dual fuel option. You can even switch fuel types while the generator is running which I didn’t know. It’s easy to maneuver once the wheels are installed. The remote start is also a nice touch. I am using mine with an interlock kit. The 50 amp outlet it comes with really makes it viable to power all the essentials in a power outage situation.

Just what the Doctor ordered.

Purchased to replace a similar generator. I love the versatility of the propane or gas functions. The remote start is fantastic. I can be in the kitchen and start it up. Don't forget to plug in the battery maintainer that came with the unit because you have to have the power switch on to use the remote start. Tested the generator as soon as I put oil in it. Started right up on gasoline. Always remember to turn the fuel off and let the carburetor run out of gas before walking away or storing this generator. Hooked up to propane and let it run for several hours with it furnishing power to my home. I have a 5000 watt heater along with the usual appliances and it handled the load wonderfully. All in all, a great product so far. Just hope I don't have to use it so often. Would definitely recommend to a friend or family member.
