Easy to start, provides clean power.

I bought this unit because I like having the option to use propane or gas. I am using the 50amp output to an outdoor receptacle I installed. I put in a 50amp breaker and interlock kit in my main service panel. When on generator power it easily powers my lights, furnace, heat, TV, computers, etc. This makes the occasional power outage much more tolerable, not to mention no longer running around with extension cords. Highly recommend to this setup for those looking for peace of mind during outage

Ease of use

Purchased in preparation for Hurricane Ida. It took 10 minutes to set it up and have it running. It's more than enough to power our ~2100 sq ft home with central A/C. We evacuated for the storm and luckily we had power restored when we returned; however, I'm kind of excited for the next power outage...

Very nice generator!

So far I am very happy with this purchase. I can tell immediately it is made with quality and the price is very competitive. I love that it can run on both gasoline and propane and you can easily switch between the two different fuels while the generator is running. Also, it is much quieter than I was expecting. Nice job to the Westinghouse team on this design!

Love the duel fuel

The propane fuel option I love most. No more cleaning carburetor of gas gel. Love the size of this generator it powers my whole house with a transfer switch at 1/4 the price of a stand alone gen system. I also like the electric start system with the key fob remote starter

Great Portable Dual Fuel Generator

After much research, found that this generator met all my needs at a reasonable pricepoint. I'm impressed with the quality and workmanship, and all the value added features this unit offers. I had to wait a couple weeks to get it, but so far I am glad that I did.

Excellent All-Around Generator

50A output is just what I need for whole house backup power. Being able to run off either propane or gasoline is a huge plus. I have it stored in my shed and will hook up a solar float charger for the battery. It’s quieter than I thought it would be.

Peace of Mind

We moved out to a rural area nine years ago and managed through many power outages. As time goes on, we are less willing to put up with cold nights and camping in our own home. We purchased our new generator this summer and the peace of mind is incredible. This generator runs on both propane and gasoline, and is ready to go in less than 10 minutes. We had a major storm roll in last night and I slept easy, knowing that we were safe and secure.

Really Nice Generator

Easy to assemble, started right up, not too hard to start with pull rope if needed, not as loud as I expected. Control panel laid out nice, remote start works well. I have only run on propane to this point. Have not needed full power as yet, and really like not having to fool with gas cans and emptying fuel tank after use. Very satisfied with purchase, the only improvement I can see would be better wheels for pulling in grass

First impressions

We bought this generator after Beryl, in preparation for the next storm / outage. I like the features. I like that it is dual fuel. Tri-fuel seemed like overkill, and the third fuel is the least efficient and provides the least amount of wattage. We want it to be a temporary generator, but plan to have an electrician install an outlet that will allow us to plug it into our home for at least partial home coverage. First thing I noticed at the store. This thing is HEAVY. I mean real heavy. I'm no weakling, but my 21 yr old ex-high school middle linebacker son and I struggled to pick it up. Once it's assembled, moving it isn't super hard, but might be for a small woman or an elderly person. The good news is, it might be harder for thieves to simply carry off. I made sure to read the manual. Didn't want to screw it up. I attached the battery cable. I put in the provided 10W-30 oil. I even ran it for the recommended "No Load" break-in time. I put 1 gallon of fresh gasoline in it and just let it run dry. It ran for about 2 hours (with no load). The tank will hold 6.6 gallons of fuel. With average load, it is supposed to run about 8 hours on a full tank. Once everything was ready to go, I pressed the start button and it started up on the first try. There was a brief delay that worried me, but it started right up after that (about 2 seconds). This particular generator got pretty good reviews and had around a 4.5 start rating. I like the features it has. It seems well-made. I can only hope that it lasts for years to come.

GREAT GENERATOR

Bought this generator to use in our new Forest River Fifthwheel! It works great and isn’t too loud! We love the fact that we can turn off the generator remotely from inside our fifthwheel, no more going outside during the cold nights to turn off the generator. This review is for the WGen9500DF model.
