Dual Fuel

I was some apprehensive about purchasing a portable generator for my home much more so a dual fuel model. I found that the WGen9500DFc set up was easy. The remote and electric start work flawlessly. This beast of a model has some weight to it. I’m very impressed.

Worked out of the box!

It worked right out of the box and the instructions were amazing. At first I couldn't get the electric start to work, but I was missing the battery quick disconnect (both in the manual and on the generator). This was totally my fault. Time will tell how it works during an outage, but for now, I'm loving the features.

Good portable home generator

So far so good,, I've ran it with a 20lb propane tank but with no large load... a shop fan and a compressor. Hooked it up to my house with a Generlink 50A provided by the utility company, mounted behind my meter, saves purchasing a transfer switch, the Generlink is a transfer switch. Ran it on gasoline yesterday, individually it ran my 50 gal water heater, well pump, and my central AC unit, it is a smaller unit, home is only 1200 sq ft on a slab. Would not run my electric furnace, when the elements went to kick on it pulled the gen down too much. All the lights in my home worked fine, no flickering, even gave the TV, Sony sound bar, and my PS3 a shot, I was a little worried because of the high THD, no issues, I didn't try the electronics with the AC or any other large loads running. I still need to try running it on a 100lb propane tank that I purchased, not sure if it'll run the AC or not, It's only on a 30A circuit so it should, love the remote start option and the weight isn't terrible, I rolled it 100yds on a gravel driveway and probably won't load it in my truck by hand, I'll rig something in the roof of my shop to hoist it.

Very Happy as a First Time Generator Owner!

I purchased this generator with the goal of powering our home during power outages. The generator included everything needed and installing the legs and wheels was easy. I fired it up for the first time last week and it started on the first attempt. Switching from gas to propane was also easy with no issues encountered. I've now had work done at home by an electrician for hookup to our house, and I tested this and it powered our entire home, including AC unit, no problem! Very happy with the decision to get this generator.

WOW! So impressed!

Unpacked and performed the minimal and easy assembly. Put oil and gas in it. Started our new Westinghouse WGen9500DF on gasoline and then ran it on propane. Ran like a champ! Outlets easily ran what we plugged in. This generator is a workhorse and much quieter to run than we expected. Bonus: Bought on 6/18/21 and received it a full week before the expected delivery date.

Super Generator with great features

I have had this generator for two years now. I start it every year at the beginning of hurricane season. Living in Florida and having lived through Hurricane Michael I appreciate the fact this is a dual fuel generator. Thankfully I haven’t had to use it yet in an emergency but it is here when I need it and it starts every time without fail!

More Than I Expected!

I had read other reviews of this product before deciding to buy. I know that in the event of a power outage I will have more than enough power to keep comfortable. The only downside I can see, or should I say hear, is the amount of noise produced. It was advertised as being approximately as loud as a dishwasher. In reality it is closer to that of a gas powered pressure washer. I think this would probably annoy my neighbors at night but oh well, the loud all night parties they have in the summer months annoy me so it balances out. LOL!

Great Company, Great Product!

The last few years we have lost power at our rural home for a number of days. Our original generator wasn't powerful enough to handle our needs. Was pleased to find a trusted name like Westinghouse made a generator. Couldn't be more happy with the product, power, and ease of use.

Easy assembly & use

I bought this unit to replace the exact same model that I purchased in 2022 that was ruined during the flooding of Hurricane Milton in early Oct. 2024. This unit has a CO safety shutoff which the older model did not and quite frankly the sensor shuts the generator down excessively and the motor backfires upon restarting. The generator is located on our dock in the open air and CO is not a concern. I wish I had the old model back!

great features, easy assembly and easy start-up

This item was a Christmas gift from my wife. I had not unpacked it until a few days ago due to bad weather here in San Antonio. We experienced power outage and I was able to power 3 appliances including lighting. Generator did a great job keeping power to these items while using propane. I will truly recommend this item.
