Dual fuel with great features

Just unboxed this today. I already new that I would like it being dual fuel. But it has electric start with a key fob AND it has a float charger so your battery can keep a charge so you don't have to worry. Handle was already attached, so all you had to do was put the wheels on,,easy peasey.

Excellent piece of machinery

Bought this generator about a month ago, was impressed with the speedy delivery and help offered by the the truck driver. Had a brief power outtage recently and got the generator started by remote, which worked perfectly. Generator has nice features, showing level of gas in tank, run time, voltage. Like very much that it is dual fuel

Westinghouse portable Generator

My daugther bought this for us. Since my husband is on oxygen. And with winter storms or hurricane there are poswer outage. So this will help when the power is out. It was very easy to assemble and the remote starter is wonderful especially for 2 elderly people.

No More Sleepless Nights

Frequent and sustained Power Failures in Eastern Pennsylvania required decisive action. In particular, I needed a Generator that is reliable and easy to use in order to provide emergency power to my Sump Pump. The ability to add on additional appliances was also important, but the Sump issue was becoming the Center of My Universe. The WGen9500DF seems to have all the attributes I need, and more. It arrived perfectly boxed and undamaged. I was already aware due to other reviews, that the engine oil that ships with the unit was not quite a sufficient quantity to fill the oil reserve, so I did purchase additional oil before I could test and use the Generator. The Generator is a heavy monster (200+ lbs). In order to put the wheels and peg legs on prior to filling it with oil/gas and making it moveable, you really need to have a second person to help lift it. The actual process of putting the legs and wheels on is very straightforward, but without additional help, there was no way a 67 year old woman was going to accomplish it. So its important to factor that in as a critical step in finalizing use of the Generator.... don't wait for the emergency. The battery connection plug seemed a little tough for me to squeeze together because I was squeemish about bending anything and it didn't exactly glide in as easily as I expected, so an extra strong push is required. The oil descrepancy between the amount shipped and what is eventually required is a bit disconcerting because you are cautioned about overfilling the oil reserve, so you have to ease your measure of additional oil by constantly using the dipstick. Finally, I poured some, but not a lot, of gas into the tank to give the WGen a test run. After turning the fuel selector to "Gasoline", moving the fuel tank valve to ON, Pushing the battery switch to ON, I hit REMOTE START. The Gen tried 3 times to turn over but didn't. So I shut everything off thinking maybe I was too timid about the amount of gasoline in it. I added some more gas. Reset all my start buttons. And the WGen started right up. The outside temperature was about 19 degrees at the time, so that might not have helped either. The Generator ran like a charm, so I let it go for about 5 minutes to circulate everything. I did not hook any loads onto it at this time. For me, this is the kind of purchase where I hope I don't have to use it that often since its strictly for emergency power backup, and not recreational use. However, the Push Button Electric Start is already worth the price of admission since pulling recoil starts is becoming very difficult. I also don't think the noise level is excessive, but there's been so many Generators running in the area lately, perhaps I have become immune to the sound. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase, and think it was relatively easy to get the WGen ready for action from a person not too familiar with engines.

Replaced old generator with new

Bought to replace aging generator to use during storm outages in Louisiana. Assembly was minimum and easy with the supplied instructions. Started right up and ran great. Have not used to run my house yet but should run the complete house as I have only window units and gas stove and water heater.

WGen9500DF

Purchased for emergency backup for storm power outages. Easy assembly and start up. Tested using Propane, started right up, powered everything I needed it to in th entire house including two refrigerator freezers, full size deep freezer, well pump, even the whole house AC unit. Test run it every year and it starts right up. Have only used the LP fuel. I have never had to run it for more than a few hours, so don't know how long 20lb propane tank will actually last.

Great generator for whole house power

I bought this generator to power the whole house since we live in the mountains. I'm hiring an electrician to install a 50 amp power inlet box and interlock kit. I'll be using propane to fuel it and expect that, although we'll have a slight loss of power due to high altitude and using propane, we should be able to run most of the house utilities; well, furnace, freezer, fridge, and lights. The package arrived in great shape and the instructions were well described. Please note that you have to connect the batter, of which is not listed in the instructions! Overall, very satisfied with this purchase, a bit heavy, but the large wheels and padded handle make it easy to move around. Love the remote too! The only other item I'll need is the cable to connect to the house.

Easy assembly and start up

We bought our generator on July 16 for our anniversary gift to each other. It was delivered a week later with no problem. Assembly was nothing and with a little oil and gas and about an hour of wiring into our home beaker panel we were up and running. Awesome machine ! We get so excited around hurricane season. We may never need it but we have it.

Well-made easy to operate generator

I purchased this generator as a backup in case of occasional power outages we have been experiencing. It has enough power to supply all the energy I need to get most of my home appliances running as normal. Having an option of gas or propane is a big plus! The generator is well made, and easy to operate.

Great generator, great deal

We purchased this generator as a backup supply for our main camp building. Though initially purchased in case of winter storm outages, we have used it multiple times already this summer during short periods. It has started every time and been a big savings to our program and supplies!
