Great Generator

Bought the generator for the house and RV. Tested the genny today, plugged into the 20 amp circuit and tested each roof top unit and the genny didn't flinch at all. Much to my surprise I was able to start the A/C units using the thermostat in auto mode. Even at camp sites with a 30amp receptacle I have trouble, so the generator performs well. If the performance is good on the 20 amp circuit, the 50 amp with a dog bone to 30amp should be great. The generator is a little fiddly to get going on propane but straight out of the box it started with no issues on propane. It can cough and splutter trying to start with the key fob. While I find the fob a neat gadget, I find I still need to move and place the generator and then throw the breakers to make it supply electric. Also the "ignition switch" does need to be in the on position to utilize the fob, and there could be the possibility of running the starting battery down. However, with this being said, the onboard Onan marquis LP on the motorhome can be a bit of a task to get going. So comparing the 2 side by side, the Westinghouse starts right up. As far as the Westinghouse brand goes, I have had a Westinghouse LCD TV from 2007, still functioning flawlessly, been aggressively transported to other homes etc and has stood the test of time and still works well. In conclusion, following the user manual and maintenance intervals there really shouldn't be an issue with operating the generator for years to come.

Awesome Generator To Power Home!

I bought this generator a few months back. My neighborhood suffers from power outages from bad weather. I invested in the WGen9500 dual generator and outfitted my home for a 50 amp plug in in case of power outage.. results?: Work’s Beautifully!! If you looking for a generator that delivers power and works beautifully this is it! Get It!

good so far

Received wgen9500df and prepared it for use. Only took a few minutes to install wheels and feet and fill with oil. I hooked up a tank of propane and it started on the first try. I've only used the 20 amp receptacles so far with a circular saw and grinder just to check functionality while waiting on a plug to rig up a 50a cord. Everything seems to be fine so far. Seems to be a quality built machine that will last a long time if taken care of but only time will tell. Very impressed.

Great features gets the job done.

I bought the WGen9500DF a few days before a big storm blew in. The set up was fast and easy. I ran it for 4 days with out a problem. Used both propane and gas. It ran long on gas but it was great to have the option to use propane as a back up. This is a great generator ! The only thing that would make it better is if it had an Ehco mode to use less power.

WGen9500DF

Have only run for 30 min. Once the carb. was primed the engine fired right up. No issues yet. The only concern was the shipping box and the packing. The frame above the gas tank was bent in shipping or handling. The shipping box could be improved.

Great Generator!

Very nice quality and built generator. Plenty of power for my whole home and comes with nice features such as remote start and also the ability to use a Westinghouse automatic mini transfer switch. Compact and easy to move around also. I also bought a Westinghouse tent cover to run the generator when it is raining or snowing and really like the tent cover also. Nice quality

So far so good

The first generator was delivered damaged. An exchange was requested without issue. The new one arrived and the packaging was in way better shape than the old one. Upon inspection, everything looked good. I followed all the start-up instructions, and it fired up straight away ad ran perfectly.

A great powerhouse to power my whole house

I bought this generator after our recent power outage. We had a small generator that would just run the refrigerator with an extension cord. Since we have been in the house, these power outages have been happening more and more. So we decided to invest in either a whole house generator or a portable large generator. This generator made more sense for us because of its portability. Plus, the fact that it is dual fuel and can possibly be upgraded to natural gas in the future, is a great value. The reviews for this generator were amazing. So we decided to purchase it. I unboxed the generator and found that it is very good quality and has rubber tires and ball bearing assisted axles. The generator runs great, sounds great and will power everything I need including my well pump at my house. Of course, I'm still not able to turn everything on all at once, but if I'm smart about it I can run everything when needed during these uncertain power outages. I'm very happy with this product and I have recommended it to several friends so far. A couple of which are interested in seeing how I was able to run an extra outlet into my house to power my whole house with just a standard RV 50 amp plug.

Great Features

Generator has great features, push button/remote start. plenty of plugs, dual fuel, nice substantial tires. nice lift handle, moves around with ease. I can't wait to start and use it. Was delivered well before they projected date. I'm pleased so far - I do recommend - will leave another review after using for some time.

Easy to setup

I got the threshold delivery and they brought it into my garage. Assembly was quick and easy. Included oil just made the low threshold, but that's ok I'll need to get oil anyway. Hooked up the propane tank I had on hand and the generator was running in a jiffy. Easy to move around even on uneven lawn thanks to the large wheels. The included battery charger is cool. Better yet is the connectors on the battery if I need to do a quick charge.
