This beast is AWESOME!!!

Shipping was a little late, but no fault of anyone really. Bad weather and limited everything during these times. Arrived in 3 weeks tho, so very satisfied. No damage to the box and it was brand new, everything was there. Love the dual fuel capabilities, and the ease of putting together right out of the box. Everything is included to get her up and running within 30-45 minutes. Remote, push button, and recoil start are solid. Very long range on the FOB. The capacity and looks of this machine are really nice. Learn your power management loads to size to whatever your needs are. This can power my 1800 SQFT home and then some. What I did to break her in was: Inspected the entire machine for factory inefficiencies. Did not find a single thing wrong with it. Then I did 3 oil changes with conventional motor oil. 1 hour run time between each oil change with 20 minutes cool down between each oil change. READ THE MANUAL that comes in the box. Lots of valuable information in there, written by the experts. After the 3rd oil change I switched over to the synthetic oil for extreme cold/hot temperatures. Then I powered up some loads to see how she would do. Handled everything (heaters, power tools, etc) with no issues whatsoever. Very happy with my Westinghouse generator purchase! Well built and very rugged.

Great Features

Haven't had to use it yet but I am happy with it so far. I just had an electrician install the new box and plug and it will power most of my first floor and basement, which is more than I could have imagined. I like the dual fuel option and plan to run it on propane since there is a little less maintenance involved and don't have to worry about gasoline getting old. I did a quick 'dry run' and it is easy to start, and use. The remote will certainly come in handy when it is cold and wet out! Seven though it is heavy, the handle and wheels make it relatively easy to maneuver. So far I love it.

Dual fuel, wheel kit, large tank.

Ran under test, break in. Carried my house two refrigerators, 3 freezers. Washing machine and the AC unit. AC unit does have a soft start on the compressor. Compressor is a 2 stage 48K BTU scroll, trane w/tam9 AH. I was pleased to say the least. The power wave form looked good. The micro processor in the AH and the soft start were happy. The processor in the refrigerator was happy, my computer, led TV ups system everyone was happy. Me too.

Solid unit

This unit was easy to assemble & setup for use. It came with oil which was nice. I did do an initial break-in period that I do on most new engines, although this might not be deemed necessary by some as it appeared to be filled & drained by the factory before shipment. Easy layout of controls, push button start/stop, data center readout was very nice to have. I haven’t put it under a full load yet, but seems to be a workhorse. Westinghouse did a good job, very pleased so far.

Plenty of Power

While I haven’t had this for very long, it has been great. Used to power a refrigerator. When fridge comes on, generator hardly notices. A little louder than I thought, but that’s okay. Plenty of outlets, transfer switch ready. In doing research on generators, this brand came up often. I do think it will give me years of service.

Made the wife happy

I purchased this to replace an older 5500 watt generator that was hard to start and very loud. One of the best features is the remote start. My wife could never start the old one and needless to say she can now start it with the push of a button. We haven't had a power outage so have yet to hook it up to the house but I did use it for an outdoor project and it powered my air compressor and table saw with ease. It's also quieter that my old generator as well. The ability to run dual fuels is also a huge bonus.

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.

This generator has more features for the money

I found it very easy to get the generator put together and going. The directions were very easy to follow. The features are outstanding. It has remote start, duel fuel with transfer from one to the other on the fly, a gauge that tells you all you need to know, and everything that was promised.

ROCK SOLID PIECE OF EQUIPMENT

Arrived in excellent condition. 30 minutes to unpack and install wheels, 2 feet, add oil, and plug in battery. Attached LP tank and pushed start and it started right up and ran perfect. It was probable 30% quieter than my old 4000 watt coleman powermate. Which is 30 years old and runs but in need for 9500 watts in south Texas for our hurricanes and deep freezes. All plug covers fit tight and attached items seems to fit well. Very pleased.
