Confident this will power my home when needed

This generator is one of the highest rated ones out there and I did a lot of research before choosing it. I chose it for several reasons: Power to price ratio, for the amount of starting watts and running watts this has you will not find a better price. Low THD, important for when you need to power electronics. Dual fuel, you never know when you may not have access to gasoline. Has a 50amp outlet, most generators only have 30amp max. This is going to be connected to my home as a backup power source, and with 50amps it’ll power literally my whole home minus my EV charger. Remote start, lets you start it up without ever stepping foot outside if you want and worked right out of the box, didn’t have to charge anything or pair anything. Comes with wheels, I shouldn’t even have to rate this part of it but basically every other generator makes you buy a “wheel kit”. It was super simple to setup and start up on propane for the first run. You tip the thing over first and foremost and attach the feet and wheels, after that you can wheel it around pretty easily because the plastic wheels are pretty big. I was able to do this all by myself. I don’t know if it’s actually a Westinghouse product or if they just licensed the name, but it’s a name that I’m familiar with and trust more than the others in the price range. Now why didn’t I give this five stars? Well, it may not even be Westinghouse’s fault, but mine came with a bunch of cosmetic damage. Lots of scratches and scuffs and part of the frame is actually bent too. Also, the included quart of oil leaked all over. Granted none of this affects functionality, but when you’re shelling out a grand for something you want it to arrive looking brand new. Better packaging could have prevented at least some of the issues. Overall I definitely recommend this generator and actually plan on purchasing a smaller inverter generator from Westinghouse soon to use as an actual portable power source.

Let’s hope it performs as well as it looks

This is a review from just receiving my generator, I have not started it but will update my review as I use it. From unpacking it, everything looks great and it was very simple and fast to assemble. It only took 15 minutes from unpacking to wheeling it to the garage.

Great Value Generator

I bought this as backup power for my house. Have used it once to test and it powered everything I needed with ease. Has a sleek look and is well balanced for moving once wheels are attached. The electric start makes it so simple to use. It also comes with a battery charger included which many do not.

Well made, easy assembly, intuitive functions

Well made, easy assembly, intuitive functions. I plan on having it set up professionally to run my major appliances and pool pump. I spent a lot of time reviewing several generators and found this product to have the features, KW, and value that put it over the top for me.

Supplies the necessary power

I purchased the WGen9500DFc about a month ago and have used it briefly to test the power. It will power most of our household items that are necessary in the event of a loss of electrical power which includes our well pump, furnace, refrigerators, TV, and computer. The generator started right up on propane and ran smoothly. It is a little loud when standing nearby, but should not be too loud inside the house. The wheels make it fairly portable on level ground, but it is heavy at 212 lbs. so it would be a struggle to pull it up an incline. I am happy to have this generator in the event of a future power loss.

All set uo for the bomb cyclone that's coming!

I bought this a few months ago in anticipation of an upcoming power outage and with the bomb cyclone headed our way with record low temperatures and wind chills, I feel super confident that we will stay warm with out Westinghouse generator and the transfer switch I had installed on the house a couple of years ago. I hope we don't need to use it but I have it in case we do. And I had a different generator that I got rid of and replaced it with this one because it has a push to start and dual fuel.

Great insurance policy for power outages

I lost power for 2 days and I needed to borrow a generator from a freind. It happened to be a Westinghouse WGen9500DF. I loved it so much I purchased one for myself. I really liked the dual fuel option most. I do not know how often I'll use it, but I'm sure glad I have it.

It Has Everything

I bought this generator about a month ago. It was delivered to my house within a few days of purchase. It has every feature you can imagine (including a push button electric start) and it was simple to put together and get set up. I love that it can run on gas or propane.

Great features

Purchased this generator, wgen9500df, about a month ago. All that had to be done to set it up was to attach the wheels, attach the battery cables, added the oil which was supplied and the propane line. Set the generator to the propane mode and pressed the start button. It cranked about three times and started. I purchased this generator for the features, which include gas or propane mode, 50 amp power available, and the data center which reads voltage, frequency, lifetime run hours and run/maintenance. I had purchase another brand, same power, about two months ago because this generator was out of stock at that time. When this unit became available, I sold the first one so I could purchase the Westinghouse. Loaded with features. Price is unbeliveable. Beats the competition by a mile. This unit hase ample power to run your house when the power is down. If your looking for a generator I would recommend this one. Check it out on the internet and review all the features. I purchased this one because I can run it on propane. When we have power outage in our area, the gas stations connot pump gas but I can obtain propane. Also, propane will not gum up the carb and you can store it forever between uses and not worry about draining the gas from the carbs and tank.
