Gets the job done.

I bought the WGen9500DF for emergency home backup. I can't speak to the long term reliability yet as we haven't run it more than a couple of hours for testing, but, it's certainly powerful. was able to run all of our critical loads including a 4.5 ton AC without a problem.

Nice generator, need better QC

I just purchased this generator and so far have not used it for its intended purpose--to run a well pump and be a backup generator for future house. My first impressions are pretty good seems well build and works well on propane. Even the remote start works very well. So far I am pleased with this purchase. The only issue I had is that the air intake hose was not connected to the air filter box. I had to insert it myself. Glad I noticed this deficiency before I started it. I am sure it would had run fine but the air going into the carburetor would had been unfiltered and any dust particles would had gone inside. Seems better manufacturing quality control is necessary. This is the reason for the 4 star rating.

Plenty of Power; Love the Dual Fuel and Auto Start

The unit has worked very well on propane. I didn't do five stars as I haven't tried running it on gas yet but hope to do so shortly. The auto start makes start up very easy. I did have an issue with leaving the switch on and draining the battery (had to replace). Otherwise good.

Great Home Back Up Generator

Unit was competitively priced, it arrived earlier than expected, it was packaged properly for transport. The assembly of the unit was very easy. The unit started on the first try. Extremely happy with the purchase. In these trying times I want my family to be safe in any storms or power outages. A dedicated unit has an issue and the service tech comes to you, if a portable has an issue you can take it to be serviced. JJW

Huge bang for the buck!

I bought this in September of 2020. Everyone that I know with a generator offered the same advice on what to buy...get as big as you can afford and the more outlet options the better. This one really shines in all of those. We have used it twice since we got it. It ran all night on a tank of gas and it ran 2 space heaters, multiple lights, TV/Satellite, and fridge without a whimper! The only negative I can think of is that it does make some noise. But the sound of no power is deafening. Another big plus is the dual fuel option. You never know when gas may not be available and your propane grill may save the day!

It has all the power and features I needed

I bought the Westinghouse 9500 dual fuel for emergency's, after unpacking the unit it arrived in good shape. Filled the unit with gas and the provided oil. It started easy and ran great! Hi would highly recommend this product to anyone needing to provide power to run your household in an emergency.

So far so good

I recently purchased the Westinghouse WGen9500df. after following the instructions, filling it with gasoline and oil, and pairing the remote (which was pretty straight forward) It started up promptly and ran for 4 hours as part of the 5 hour break in period without a problem

Great Features for the Price

I bought this generator to replace my 24 year-old Coleman model. I'm very impressed with the modern features on this Westinghouse generator. The unit is very well made and easily supports the loads for our house. I especially like the dual fuel capability.

Easy setup

My son-in-law purchased this the WGen9500DF last year. Impressive performance. The installation instructions were VERY easy to follow. Unboxing, installing the wheels, and adding oil was under 30 mins. I ran it for 3 hours, changed the oil and then connected it to my home transfer switch. The true test is how many circuit breakers I can turn on in the house. I ran everything except the dishwasher and A/C. The generator can take a heavy load. I highly recommend this product.

Everything you need at a great price.

I bought it this past week, and the install was easy and clearly instructed. I tested the system and it started right up. I never thought I’d be excited to have a power outage. I really appreciate all the features on this model and for a great price. Came with everything needed to even install the wheels, change spark plugs, and the oil.
