Easy to setup and connect to home

This is my first generator and I am already loving it. This generator will power your whole house. The fact that it has dual power use just blew my mind. I used just the propane and it worked fine for my first set up. Thank you Westinghouse for this wonderful piece of machinery.

Excellent design with great features

This is my second Westinghouse product (my first was their pressure washer). I am very satisfied with both products. The WGen9500DF started up and was purring in no time. An added benefit I wasn’t expecting is that it runs quieter than the Generac it is replacing. The remote start feature and digital readout places this product ahead of competitive products. Besides the usual running time meter, the digital display provides voltage, frequency, and maintenance reminders. I researched just about every brand in the market and happy that I decided on the Westinghouse. Based on my recommendation, three of my friends just bought the same Westinghouse generator.

Quiet power house

I bought this for a backup power source to my solar panels and batteries. I was impressed with how quiet it is, and it has enough running watts to power my whole house incase of a really cloudy day when my batteries don't get charged all the way back up.

It is very easy to set up, has lots of power, not as noisy as expected, dual fuel capable, has remote start key fob, simple push button start, simple to use, great control panel, lots of outlets, fuel gauge, hour meter, large fuel tank, comes with propane hose to connect to tank, comes with battery tender, comes with oil and spark plug wrench, very well built, great costumer service, easy to move, what more could you ask for!

Very impressed so far

The unit came in perfect shape, not a scratch or dent. Basically just had to add oil and go. Started up with electric start with no issues. Only tested with minor load for an hour, as I just got the unit, but still was impressed with the easy assembly, good design, and immediate operation.

Beast

Bought this generator during a week long power outage during the heat of last summer. We have an old small Genny we use for lights and cycling freezers, but needed well water for this long of an outage. Found that if I turn everything else off, it will run our older 4ton AC unit! Remote start is great. All good things so far.

Compact and well built

Bought this for power outages during storm season. Living rural power loss is more frequent. Received our WGen9500DF today, assembled it per the assembly instructions no problem. Never did find the ECO mode switch. Checked other reviews and no one else found it either. Hooked it to a new propane bottle and it started with first push of the start switch Seems to be quiet enough and smooth running. Hope we get many years of service.

Solid gen

Researched a generator that could be utilized as a whole home backup. After a lot of research this one seemed to be the best option and at this price point was a great deal. Setup was easy, battery came charged, and oil was provided. Started gen first time using propane and the remote starter. Started on second try and rpms equalized. Started to break it in per instructions and have no issues. Haven’t tested it by hooking up to disconnect I had installed on house yet but I don’t think it will give me any issues. Only con really is that it is fairly loud but most gens are. Hoping to be prepared for another Texas freeze!

Good with propane.

This is powerful for the price. Well built. Good quality. Starts easy with propane. Will not cold start with gasoline. I use plus gas but it will not cold start. After running with propane for a half hour, I can turm it off , switch to gas and then it starts. Assembly was easy. Also the gas gauge does not show any level. Even so I purchased a second one for my son. Same issue with no cold start using gasoline. But the power and price for propane is good.

My review for WGen9500DF

I received my Generator today (23/10) and assembled the product after watching video/reading manual with no issues, except bolds to secure front supports were very difficult to get started due to badly tapped screw holes. Otherwise, so far, I’m a happy camper. I’ve added oil and connected batt. Tomorrow will fill with gas and give a run. Even my wife gives it a thumbs up. We love the features available and anxious to put a load on it. Thanks
