Great information

We had a major, 5 days without power, storm this summer. My neighbor was kind enough to allow me to piggyback from his generator, but realized I needed my own. I reviewed several websites for best portable generator and your products were always in the top five. I love that your assembly and starting instructions were so well written and easy to understand. I had the unit ready to power up in less than a day. I hope I never have to use it, but I feel better knowing that it is here and ready to go when needed.

Great Generator. Easy to start.

Got this generator, Wgen9500DF, after a recent winter storm left Texas without power for a few days do to lack of preparing of the electrical grid for winter weather. I feel confident that I will be prepared with this generator to get me through times when I can't count on my government to be prepared.

Super fast power

Instant start on a 25lbs propane tank. Powered nearly my entire house including 3 ton A/C. Haven’t tried with the water heater on, but ran everything else just fine. Remote start works from inside. Hooked up with a 50 amp receiver into electrical panel. Must have item for hurricane season. Don’t hesitate, sleep good knowing you're prepared.

Home Backup Option

Just bought this generator for home backup in prep for hurricane season this year. Been thru too many storms without power. Got this generator for the features, wattage output, reputation of Westinghouse, and price point. Will definitely help running key items around the house. Hooking it up thru a manual transfer switch to avoid the hassle of extension cords running everywhere. Decided on a portable generator as it was a more economical option to a whole home generator, and it can travel with us if we move.

Exactly what I was looking for!

After we lost power for a week following a major storm, I decided we had to pony up for a portable generator. The Westinghouse house brand is widely praised so I went with the biggest unit that could still fit in the corner of my garage (the WGEN12000DF was simply too big). I have only done some initial testing, but so far this thing is very impressive! Well built, great features, and the ability to use both gasoline and propane is excellent. Also love the remote start feature. My only negative about the WGEN9500DF is the fact that it allows up to 23% THD. I have numerous sensitive electronics so there is definitely a concern there, but otherwise this thing is excellent.

Work horse

I bought this generator yesterday to replace my 15 year old one that gave it up. Straight out of the box it took 10 minutes to assemble it and get it running. It has been going for almost 30 hours straight without a hiccup. I can run everything in my house which includes a 30+ year old chest freezer two refrigerators well 2 sump pumps and I even kicked my central air on for a bit yesterday, just to see if it would, no problem. I highly recommend this generator to anyone in need if things change in the future I’ll let you know. Oh and in those 30 hours I went through about .5 gallons of gas per hour

Best generator I've ever owned!

This generator is amazing. It has its own battery charger and I keep it plugged in all the time. It can use gas or propane. I like using propane. It's cheaper, cleaner, and so easy to tell when I'm low on propane. I always keep an extra bottle of propane handy, and have never run out. It also has a remote starter and I use it all the time. This is a great product!!!

Great features!

We bought a generator because we live on the coast and hurricanes are becoming more frequent. It arrived on time. It started up right away. The key fob also worked the first time and it will be so convenient when/if we ever have to use it!!! Love so far

Overall great product

From reciept of shipment, to start-up, the 9500 is an easy product to set up an use. I chose propane for fuel. If a time comes that I use the generator full time, I may switch to gasoline, but I felt there would be fewer problems with long term storage if I used propane. Yes, you suffer a little power loss with propane, but the engine runs cleaner. No problems with gasoline going bad. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Exactly was I was looking for!

I have been looking for a power generator with these many feature for a while. WGen9500DF has everything I need and more. I have a Travel Trailer and I want to run the A/C, Microwave, TV, etc... This monster should be able to handle it easily. At home, I want to use it as backup power. I just got it today and I've have only used with propane, but it started without a glitch. Sounds louder than my Firman but it has twice the power!
