Be Ready!

i just replaced a 35 year old gas generator with the WGEN9500Fc. It is a very nice product and very user friendly. The set-up was very simple and it is easy to move around. It will run on gas or propane which is a added benefit. The starting system is high tech and very easy to navigate. It has numerous receptacles for drop cords and also attaching to you household electrical system. It is not too loud and does not take up much space. It's a great product to have on hand with all of the weather issues and power outages. I feel great about my purchase and the product overall.*****

Great product

So far this has been a great generator. I have ran it 3 times for a few hours and it has worked great and kept my house cool. I ran it first with the propane and it worked great. The box it was delivered in was a little damaged and caused it to have minor damage on the frame but that’s on the delivery company not Westinghouse.

A very versatile product for a decent price.

I am really pleased with the purchase of this generator. There are no others that I have found on the market with the features and versatility of the Wgen series. The remote start and backup ready features as well as the dual fuel capability were the features that I wanted the most. What I needed was the 50 amp outlet. I now have it all and more for a very affordable price.

Powerful and convenient with two caveats

As a generator, this is a fantastic specimen. It is powerful, has all the features I want, and likely more capabilities than I will use. It is heavy-duty, yet portable. Two issues I have noticed: 1) the fuel gauge is not accurate. It has a capacity of 6.6 gallons, and I put in over 3 gallons, but the needle did not move. Perhaps this is purposely designed so that people do not have a false sense of security? I do not know, but I would prefer an accurate gauge. 2) I am unable to manually start this monster! The push-button and remote start both work beautifully, but I cannot get enough oomph to pull-start it. I am small (5’9”, 150#) but not weak (20+ years in construction and as a firefighter), and have always been able to pull-start anything. So I am undecided on whether I would actually buy this again, but I am pleased to have it just the same. Perhaps these issues are quirks with my unit, but perhaps not. I certainly do not regret the purchase.

Good, large generator

Nice looking and in perfect condition when it arrived. Came with oil, funnel, propane hook up hose, wheels, and has a folding grip to haul it around. It's heavy, but surprisingly maneuverable once you set it up. I got truck ramps to help move it up and down as even two people would have a hard time lifting this.

Monster Power with all the Options

I purchased the WGEN9500df Generator as a backup for my home on June 01, 2021. I was expecting a lot from this powerhouse since the reviews were very positive on the features and the electrical output. I got what I expected. I fired this unit up and was soon running most of my house on generator power including my pool filter and equipment. The generator was plugged into a 30 amp transfer switch and if I feel inclined to do so, I can swap out that 30 amp for a 50 amp switch. The only advice I can offer is do not give up trying to start it the 1st time with gasoline. In fact, the initial start took so many tries with gasoline, I was ready to call Customer Support. It finally kicked over and I gave it a through test run. When done with my test, I ran the carburetor dry and let it sit for 6 weeks. It now fires up on the first push of the start button every time. This generator comes with all the features including remote start, the wheel kit, a mounted fold down handle and the duel fuel option. This is a well thought out machine for power and convenience. I live in Central Florida on the coast and I am ready for whatever nature throws this way. I am very happy with this purchase.

Excellent features

We purchased the first WGEN9500DF in July 2020 and after we had a little problem with it Westinghouse was great at replacing the unit. We loved the first one and my wife really loved the remote start. This thing has a ton of power to run all our 5th wheel needs plus. Great for all our remodeling jobs on the new property. Love it

Starting is Easy Peasy!!!

We bought this after a major storm because we were having difficulty starting our old generator. What a DREAM! PUSH BUTTON REMOTE works great! Also, the included trickle charger really keeps the battery ready to go. Best generator I have ever had (This is #5). Cannot recommend more!

Good

I hesitate to leave a review after only owning something for a few days because the thing could break tomorrow. That said, so far this generator is impressive. I've fired it up a couple times and put some small loads on it and it didn't miss a beat. It runs smooth and my 21 gallon 120 volt 20 amp air compressor did not make this thing bog down when it kicked in and started running. I love the dual fuel option but haven't tried the propane yet. Easy to assemble and quick to get up and running. Sound is equivalent to others in this class and I thought was acceptable. Not too heavy and fairly easy to move around. The only issue, and it may not really be one, is the rated THC of less than 23%. I assume the 23% is the max running at capacity and if only pulling 5k watts this may be much lower. How much? I wish I knew. But there are ways to to accommodate this when plugging in sensitive electronics. All in all I definitely recommend this generator. Time will tell how long it will last, but so far so good.

AS EXPECTED

I just purchase this unit. It arrived in 10 days. Looks well built and with a sturdy frame. Set up was easy and started immediately. I am very pleased with this product. One thing that persuaded me to buy this unit was that it was made in the USA and has cast iron cylinder sleeves. Better built than the Chinese made units. Large size for the money.
