I Love the features of this generator

Just purchased this generator and currently performing the break-in process. Really love the electric start and the remote start features. Running it currently on gas but will be trying out the propane after break-in period is over. Nice to have the dual fuel option for long or short power outages.

Great Product

This generator appears very well built. Some minor easy assembly required to install wheels and supports. Other than that just add oil and fire it up on your choice of fuel. I went with this one due to longer warranty than a lot of the competitors and it has a 50 amp plug in without having to parallel multiple gens together or use special adapters

Easy Start

Our generator was delivered yesterday, within the window of time that was given. They unloaded it right into our garage, so we didn't have to move it ourselves. Instruction were easy to follow, all necessary parts were included. My husband assembled and charged it up and today it started with one push of the start button. Ran it for about 30 minutes with no issues so far. We plan to have a transfer switch added to our circuit breaker box so we can plug the generator directly into our electrical system. I can't say how it will handle the load, (reason for the 4 stars) but we are very impressed with how easy this thing is to use. It is heavy, but with the wheels I can maneuver it around with some effort on the driveway. Love the dual fuel option.

Very good design, well thought out.

I was impressed with the fit and finish of this generator. It was also easy to get set up, understand and work the control panel, and switch between gas and propane. It worked without issue out of the box. The push button start is a very convenient feature I didn't think I was going to care about. Push it for a couple seconds and the generator will attempt to start on it's own; up to 3 times if I'm correct. It also has pull start to manually crank the engine. I was disappointed to find this model doesn't have an idle down/"economy" mode. Most, if not all other brands of generators in this class have this low idle feature.

Outstanding Generator (WGen9500DF)

I got this generator after the big Texas freeze in February 2021. After researching a number of large portable generators, the Westinghouse WGen9500DF was the undisputed winner for a number of reasons. It’s big (i.e., powerful) enough to run my whole house, including my 3.5 ton central AC unit. The power of this generator matches—even exceeds—the power of some standby generators! The dual fuel option is nice. Though it provides a little less power, I intend to use propane simply because, with propane, the gen will still meet my power demand. Propane is the cleaner fuel for the generator and is more environmentally friendly. It's also more conveniently stored than gasoline over an extended period of time. Although I can handle the recoil start, the electric start is a blessing. Plenty of outlets for plugging in power cables—each with its own circuit breaker. I intend to use the 50-amp outlet to feed my main breaker box. I haven’t set the gen up for use yet, but plan to have an electrician do it soon—we’re almost in the middle of hurricane season. I should add one more reason for opting for this generator: It has the name Westinghouse on it. Actually, that sums up all of the above!

Love it

We lost power about a month after purchase. It ran perfectly for 10 hours straight until power came back on. It ran SO good that at one point when the snow was coming down and the winds were howling I thought to myself "I wonder if we will lose power". Then it dawned on me we already had!

Seems like a solid machine

Took delivery of the WGEN9500df today and the initial impression is that this generator is a solid built machine. I had it up and running on propane within 20 minutes of unboxing it. I haven’t put it through anything demanding yet so the jury is still out regarding its performance. Remote start with the fob is a solid win here in the mitten state during the winter months.

Great Westinghouse WGen9500DF Generator

Generator was really easy to set up. Only had to mount the wheels and ground mounts, fill it up with oil and gas, and connect the battery. Started fairly easy after the gas made it to the carb. Remote worked at least 30 feet away. Powered air compressor with no issue. Third Westinghouse generator I've purchased and they all function great!

Happy with Purchase

I just purchased the WGEN9500DF and so far I am very pleased with the purchase. There was very little to assemble, the startup instructions were easy to follow. One important feature was the Dual Fuel capability. I needed Following the instructions the unit started right up with Propane and ran great. The instruction manual informed me that the unit needed to be modified for high altitude since I would be using it above 7000 feet. It was difficult to find a source for the parts listed in the manual. It would have been nice to know this at the time of purchase and be able to purchase the high altitude parts at the same time as purchasing the unit. After working with Westinghouse Support, I was able to identify and purchase the correct parts, which interestingly enough were not the same parts listed in the manual.

Great features, powerful, quiet

Compact and powerful. Quiet, lots of features, easy to use and to move. The electrician that installed the transfer switch for our house was very impressed when testing the switch. Dual fuel is a really great feature. Thank you for a fine product.
