Received the generator as expected. Had great documentation to get the unit set up, which only took 15 minutes. Documentation was also very well written to get the unit started on propane. The unit is relatively easy to maneuver as well with the built in handle. Meeting all expectations I had upon deciding to purchase this generator.

I purchased two of these so I could give one to my Son. I chose this brand due to him having a smaller version that has performed very well. I am in the process of a wiring conversion, so have not tried mine yet, but plan to in the near future. Living here in Northern Michigan, our power can go out for days, so the need for a backup electric source is great!

ASSEMBLY WAS MINIMUL. ONLY ISSUE WAS TOOK ABOUT 1.5 QTS OIL. FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS BUT WAS NOT CLEAR. ONCE I SAW OIL AT TIP COVERING THE "L" I STOPPED AND TESTED UNIT AGAIN. THEN RECHECKED OIL. HANDLED FULL LOAD AFTER WARM UP WITHOUT ANY ISSUSES. NOISE WAS AS EXPECTED AND BOTH PROPANE AND GAS RUN FINE. FEATURES ARE NICE AND SIMPLE. A GREAT ADDITION WOULD BE AN AMPERE METER/VOLTAGE. HOOKED UP TO OUTSIDE 50 AMP PLUG, THEN TO A AUTOMATIC SWITCH OVER TRANSFER BOX. INTSALLED A 10 MIN DELAY TIMER ON AC UNIT AND ELECTRIC FURNANCE BACK. THIS ALLOWS FOR EQUALIZATION OF GENERATOR POWER AND THE SEQUENCE OF BRINGING THEM ONLINE. WILL SEE HOW WELL PREFORMS UNDER POWER FAILURE, BUT EXPECT NO ISSUES.

Bought this generator in preparation for our Florida hurrican season. I wanted something that gave me flexibility in fuel sources. This did just that. Starts perfect and with multiple starting options (manual, push button or key fob) this generator is exactly what I was hoping for. Powers everything I consider critical in my home. I had it running for a few hours and am extremely pleased.

the WGen9500 dual fuel is simple to start and swap out fuel sources with the propane option. Needing only a couple propane tanks instead of fighting for multiple gallons of gas during the course of a hurricane is worth the price alone. This generator runs the house water pump, AC, refrigerators, freezers, during power outages for about 12 hours on a single 20 lb tank of propane. I love it!

This generator not only operates on gas or propane, but it successfully powered the entire main circuit breaker for my entire 4 bed 2 bath home! Not only that, it starts remotely from inside my house, and from a cold start it will keep attempting to start itself until it turns on :)

The generator arrived 1 week early in good condition and easy to set up. All parts needed for assembly of the wheels were included and easily installed. The battery was fully charged and the terminals snapped together quickly. To my surprise the generator was easy to move around in spite of its weight. Very impressed with most of the design features and what is included. Such as the fuel gauge, hours counter dual fuel switch and battery charger. The only design feature that needs improvement is the location of the 50amp receptacle which is placed directly over the wheel. Since a 50 amp cord is as thick as a large anaconda, a male plug on the end of the power cord which is offset by 90 degrees cannot be plugged in to the 50amp outlet on the generator without either removing the wheel or by adding an extension plug which provides the necessary clearance.

Generator has been helpful since we moved to the mountains where the power frequently goes out. Set up and utilization are very easy. The one drawback is that to add gas the opening is on the top instead of the side, so adding gas can be difficult.

I purchased the WGen9500DF to power my small house and shop during Davey Tree Power outages (PGE NorCal). Upon receiving the generator and setting it up, I ran it on propane for an hour. This thing is a beast! The remote works perfectly. Starting and stopping the generator from inside the house. (within line of site) I found that it was necessary to change the oil after that first hour test/break in, because there appeared to be enough metallic debris in the oil to warrant it. I found it easy to drain and refill the oil in the generator without making a mess. A little over a quart of oil is cheap insurance that our new Westinghouse generator will last a Long time. The only disappointment was that the air filter was not installed correctly at the factory. The outer portion of the two stage filter was Not fitted in the filter box correctly so the filter box cover cut into it. I called customer service for a replacement. Also "transfer switch ready" appears to mean that I have to use the Westinghouse ST switch, with extension cords to have the generator automatically start for back up power. I called tech support and have yet to hear back.

This Genset has great features that Compareable units in its price range do not have . The receptacles are clearly labeled what they are, which makes finding plugs a breeze . The Duel Fuel option is also a plus. Comes with charger to keep battery at full capacity. Also has a remote start which is a nice feature have .Assembly was 5 minutes. I Would highly recommend this Genset to anyone looking for a backup generator .
