Everything arrived without damage or missing parts, so I'm looking forward to getting this beast up and running! I was looking for a generator that could power my entire house in a power failure. I installed a 50a 250v interconnect at my main panel. I also installed a MicroAir Easy Start on my AC compressor to lower the inrush amps. I installed an IotaWatt power monitor and discovered that my average load ranged from 600 watts to about 7k watts with the a/c running but excluding my 240v powered appliances. Except for the 240v dryer and oven, all my other loads should be easily handled by this big guy. I haven't used it yet, but for the money, I don't see anyone offering a generator that meets my requirements. I was a bit worried about the choking issues experienced by some reviewers. I will post an update later after I have run my generator and find out if I have any unpleasant surprises, I'm not expecting any!

After much research, I went with the WGen9500DF. What I liked: around 9000 running watts, 6 plug-ins, dual fuel, well-built engine, meter display, and push button start. Break-In the engine before using it hard and that will help the engine last longer and run better. YouTube has generator break-in videos. I've ran it about 5 hours now and it's doing great. Use ethanol free gas if you can. Thank you Westinghouse for making a great machine at a great price.

Last year in February, we were caught up in the "Freeze" in Texas. We lost power and suffered thru the whole ordeal. So my wife and I decided to purchase our first Generator and I will say...The best investment we have ever made. We managed to find an 50amp outlet and plugged our house to it...works like a charm, and not only that, my wife was able to set up the generator and hook it up. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Setup is easy, instructions are clear. Put in the oil and it started right up. It is much quieter than my previous generator. Ran it for a couple of hours to break it in. Love the remote and will be buying additional propane tanks so I don't have to fool around with gasoline - much cleaner, however, I do like the fact that I have an alternative fuel source for additional backup.

Have the unit up and running now. Setup was reasonably simply. Battery came fully charged. Instructions were good, although I would mention that even though you use the battery to start, you might need to manually set the choke to 'Cold Start' mode. So far I have been impressed. It seems like a true workhorse.

My generator arrived in perfect condition and it was an easy step by step assembly with product literature that was well written and good photo illustrations. It is just what I needed building an off grid cabin on our lake property. We powered our RV with the 50 amp outlet by night and power tools by day. I would recommend this generator to a friend

Had it a few weeks, of course I unboxed it the morning the power went out. Read couple lines of instructions, put wheels on, 2 more lines of instructions, put feet on, 2 more lines of instructions and put oil in, read, put gas in, read, turned it on, read, plugged things in. Very easy actually, I'm surprised the quality for value, WELL boxed overall, came on a little wooden pallet. So Far so good, I would highley recommend at this point. Good reminded, shut the fuel off and let it run out of gas to clean out the engine so it doesn't sit in fuel while it's not being used. After engines dies, then shut off the two buttons.

After seeing the issues Texas had last year I decided it would be best to at least be prepared. I bought this generator because it is large enough to run my house without having to worry. I am installing an on demand water heater so we will have everything we need to survive if things get bad. I believe it is money well spent!!

Bought this in January. Have only used in a test run situation and not in real world power outage. This generator is so easy to use. Push button start is great and so is having the choice of two different fuels. I also really appreciate that it came with a trickle charger for the battery. I have no doubt this generator will be ready when the time comes.

upon assembling the wheels, adding the oil and connecting the battery, I decided to use propane. Turned it on, pushed the button and instantly kicked on. nothing could be easier. Love the option of using either gas or propane. I would recommend this for generator for any one that intends to purchase one.
