Generator is amazing and just what was expected!

Generator was easy to assemble, and one person could do this by himself. It is easy to move around with the handle and wheels. Started it up on Propane for the first time and plugged in a few small items and it ran great and did not pull down the generator at all. It is an added feature to have the ability to run this on Propane and Gas. Feel this will be a wonderful addition to have if the electric or grid would go down. Would highly recommend this Generator!

WGen9500DF - perfect for us!

I wanted a generator that can run our home A/C and other essentials during a power outage. The WGen9500DF right out of the box started right up by using the remote. It had to crank a few seconds until fuel primed - then started up fast. I tried a few starts no issue, instant on. We bought the ST Switch with Smart Portable Automatic Transfer Technology and hooked it up for a test. Simulated a power outage and as advertised the generator immediately kicked on by itself and provided emergency power. We simulated a power restore and it transferred power power back to the utility. Buy this if it is large enough (check your needs). Excellent product! I can't tell you about reliability over the long term as it is new for us but it works well. We will get a soft start for our A/C to help things along.... I am a design in a nuclear powerplant and this back up generator is a slick home back up system that is affordable. The dual fuel option is also a nice feature.

WGen9500

As an elderly veteran, I needed a reliable, simple-to-use generator here in Louisiana, where we frequently lose power. This Westinghouse 9500 has proven to be just that. I use propane, which stores well for long periods, and the remote electric start is simply a dream come true. No more yanking a recoil chord, although it has one as a back-up if necessary. Thanks Westinghouse, for building a GREAT yet simple machine. (and what little assembly it needed, was also super simple.)

Heavy Duty Power

This compressor has all you can ask for. I bought it for house power emergencies and liked the 50 amp 240 outlet. Beware, ITS A BEAST!! You need 2 people (at least) to lift it. I used a tractor to get it out of my truck. Its a lot more manageable once the wheels are assembled. And the wheels have quality sealed bearings, rolls nice.

Excellent generator and well worth the wait.

So I finally was able to pick up my new WGen9500df after months of debating and waiting for them to come back in stock everywhere. It was definitely worth the wait, as I'm extremely pleased with the generator. The power, features and capability cannot be beat at this price point. It's very well built and packed with everything you need in a generator. I have a bigger house out in the woods and frequently lose powerm I also have a big well pump and I wanted a generator with a 50 amp plug. That way I could power everything in my house without worry about tripping the breaker on a smaller unit, which is what I had prior. I'm an electrician and added a breaker panel interlock and reliance generator inlet box on the outside of my house. I plugged in the generator and it powered EVERYTHING in my house without breaking a sweat. Obviously not the electric range or dryer, but literally everything else I've been very happy with it so far and highly recommend it!

I wanted the 50 Amp and dual fuel

I got this last week and it is big enough for me to run my lights and my Well pump, and an AC unit. When my electricity goes out, I have no Water to flush toilet or for drinking due to being on an electric Well. This will supply all the amps and volts and watts I will need to alternate running the Well and the AC. The Well only needs to run a few times in the day to pump up pressure in the tank. No more have to save water in gallon milk cartons just to flush the commode. Thank You Westinghouse! And running on propane is a bonus.

Works great

Bought this for a what turned out to be a multi day power outage. Easy to assemble the few pieces that came in the box. Had a bit of trouble getting it to start but a quick shot of starter fluid fixed that. Used for about 2 days with absolutely no issues. Did the first oil change which was relatively simple with easy access to drain bolt. Was happy to find out unit was quieter than I expected as well.

Great generator

This generator puts out plenty of wattage for running a welder and or compressor in the field for working on tractors when there is a breakdown. Being able to run on gas or propane is a great bonus and having the battery start is a nice additional feature

Love the electric start

Purchased last month. I love all of the features, especially the electric start. Our old pull start generator was difficult for the rest of the family to start, in case of emergency. Very satisfied with this purchase. Works as advertised and built sturdier than expected.

Very Smart Purchase

The generator arrived today. Unpacked and inspected. All was good. Assembly was a snap. Read the Users Manual and followed the instructions. I did a quick start up to test operations, followed by plugging into the home power integration box which the electrician had just installed. Without reservation I give this product 5 stars. I hope we will never have to use it but alas, here in Florida it is only a matter of time. We are ready.
