Better Than I Expected

I recently purchased the WGEN9500DF to power my house during frequent power outages here. Very easy to assemble and fired right up. Powers everything in the house and more. The fuel consumption is very good, and the noise was much quieter than I expected. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Started right up on first push of starter button!

This generator works great right out of the box.I love the remote start and the dual fuel option. It switches between fuels flawlessly on the fly. It easily powered a 9500 btu air conditioner and 1000 watt halogen work light simultaneously (didn't want to put to much load on it before break in period was over). The generator appears to be high quality and arrived in perfect condition.

Well built unit

Just came today. Nicely packed and no damage to the unit. Filled the oil put some gas in it and it started with zero issues. My house isn’t set up to plug into the gen yet so the best I could do was running the pool and hot tub for a few hours. No problems, keeping them going, the real test will be after the house is set up for it

Love this generator!

We bought this unit in February. We have a 1300 sq foot cabin in a remote area where power outage is common. I have had several occasions to test it out. It has performed flawlessly. We have a 30 amp plug outside the house for a camper hookup. We use that to back feed the house breaker panel. When the power goes out, we shut down the main, shut off the hot water heater and dryer, and turn on the 30 amp from the generator. It runs everything else in the cabin with no issue. Including the well pump, and the 2 ton geothermal heat pump. I was hauling the generator from the tractor shed with each outage, but just retrofit a sun cast shed just for the generator, complete with sound insulation, vent fan and exhaust extension. I also ran a direct line from the cabin’s propane tank which we use for the gas logs and grill. No more hauling the generator, no more hauling gas, and it is MUCH quieter. I just flip the run switch to ON and press the start button. My wife is comfortable doing it on her own. I do wish I could use the remote button to start the unit. Then I wouldn’t need to go outside at all. But to use the remote start button, you first have to go outside to turn on the run switch. Kind of defeats the purpose of the remote start button. I called Westinghouse to ask about leaving the run switch on permanently, but they said it powered up 6 different components and would damage the unit if I left it on. Anyway, I am very happy with the 9500df. Lots of power. Starts every time. Dual fuel is a great plus.

Great power & price.
5 out of 5 stars review

Started right up and runs great.

Purchased this unit because I trust the Westinghouse brand and because it was a good price. Pleasantly surprise the setup was easy and the unit started right up. Only negative was the level of noise, but that is expected with this type of generator.

Loving to Remote Start!

I just received my new generator and I am impressed by the dual fuel options. More important it is so easy to start with the remote or the push button. While you still have the option to pull start, it is awesome that you do not have to. I am going to purchase another for my mom.

Best on the market!

I purchased a different brand generator over the summer and wasn’t happy with it. I ordered this WGen9500DF unseen except for description and a few pics and I must say I am blown away by the power, the absolute best features and ease of starting. You push the start button and walk away, everything is automatic. You can even start it while your sitting in your house with the remote start feature! Ample power for the entire house. So happy.

Plenty of Power

Purchased to power our camper and as emergency power back up at the house. Camper is a 50A with two a/c's. Powers both a/c's with no issue for well over 8 hours on a tank of gas. Plenty of power to operate the microwave and more at the same time as the a/c's. Not sure on run time for a tank of propane but still plenty of power to run everything we needed to/wanted to. Only problem is it does not want to start when switched to gas. Will start using starting fluid. When switched to propane it starts up just fine. Haven't used it at the house yet so can't comment there.

Easy to set up and use!

I was presently surprised how simple and user friendly it was to get this generator running. I love the convince of switching the fuels while running. also the entire generator is user friendly with controls and features located where they are readily reached.....built for convenience ! The folding handle is a great feature .

Westinghouse WGen9500DF

I purchased this generator right before hurricane Milton, but it did not arrive in time due to my road being flooded by the storm. I was able to setup and test it and it ran well without any issues. I am 100% ready if I loose power during any future huricanes.
