Well-built generator!

I recently bought this generator to prepare for the hurricane season here in Texas. I’ve did my research to different brands of generators and this wgen9500df has better features among them as to what I need during a power outage. Out of the box looks pretty well built. I’ve paired with a 40lb propane and did a test run with no issues. User manual is easy to understand. Well done Westinghouse!

Extremely Reliable Power Source for Storm!!

We had an older Champion Generator. This thing BLOWS THAT ONE AWAY! From the push button start, to the no need to mess with a choke, to the onboard control center, everything is easy and intuitive! Machine runs strong and powered everything we needed it to in the house! A MUST buy!

Easy start and switch between fuel types.

The pull, button and remote start all very easy to use. I like that if you are finished with it for the day, you can stop without going back out to the generator. Remote has a good distance. Change over from propane to gas is very easy; it runs a little rough as it makes the switch, but in a few seconds it goes back to smooth operation. Great features for the investment; it is a bit heavy if you are looking to load it into a truck, definitely a 2 man job. But if using a trailer and ramp, not too bad.

Remote start/stop is a great feature

So far this has been a great purchase. The remote start/stop feature was one of the major selling points for me. Comes almost fully assembled, just add the wheels, oil and a fuel source and your off. It takes all of 10 minutes. Don't forget to read the manual for the break in period.

Dual Fuel is so useful

I had another dual fuel generator years ago but didn't do a good job of maintaining it, so got a Westinghouse. Barely used the old generator despite living through 4 hurricane seasons in Florida, so I have a tank of old gas and no easy way to get rid of it. The new one will be powered just on propane, as I have two large propane tanks for my kitchen and outdoor grill and fire pit. No more gasoline!

WGEN9500DF First Impression

I just got the generator and am impressed with the features and choice of receptacles. The key fob is a convenient plus. The dual fuel option really makes it a true standby for anything generator because I always have 20 lbs tanks of propane around that never goes stale, and sometimes getting gasoline can be a problem with a major power outage. The frame is robust as I would expect for a heavy generator. It is not as quiet as the generator in my motorhome, but I did not expect it to be. After putting it together and filling the engine with oil, I ran it on propane to test it. Using the key fob to start it, it started on a cold day in the 20's on the second crank. After letting it warm up, I loaded it up with 1000 watts of lighting, a 1500 watt heater, and a 15 amp (1800 watt) air compressor. I never noticed any strain at all and the volts and hertz on the meter remained consistent, no dips. I am very pleased with my purchase. Two things to note though. (1) The 1.16 qt bottle of oil was not quite enough oil to get a good level on the dipstick, so I had to go buy an extra quart to top it off. (2) I really wish the wheels had rubber tread like you see on push lawnmowers rather than the hard plastic tread. I'm kind of a sceptic on the longevity of the wheels. Time will tell if the wheels hold up.

Easy Set Up and Passes Initial Test

The generator was very easy to set up and worked in both gasoline and propane modes. The remote and electric starts makes starting it a breeze. Would give it 5 but haven't hooked it up to the house yet but anticipating the unit will provide the power it promises.

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK ON THE MARKET!!!

Picked up from the store, took it home, assembled quickly, hooked up a propane bottle and hit the remote. Fired right up!! Even forgot to choke it, but it fired right up. The only downside is, I had to go buy a quart of oil to top it off, no big deal. The oil that came with it is not quite enough.

Great features

Haven’t had to use yet, but my house loses power at least 2x/ year due to storms. With 2 young kids we finally broke down and bought a generator. We love the dual power feature. This will definitely come in handy and we are pleased with the price and the features.

Perfect Peace Of Mind

Perfect peace of mind. Easy to assemble with clear instructions. Easy to move around. Plugs in to my interlock no issues. Runs smooth and quiet on propane. Remote key is amazing for when it needs to be started on cold mornings. Every homeowner should buy this.
