Instruction manual very helpful and made sense

I am very pleased with the ease of use and lay out of instruments and controls. The remote electric start was a real plus. Assembly was easy. Seems to have enough power for emergencies. We sometimes have several days without electricity due to storms or ice.

Outstanding quality product

This is one of the most feature rich, high output portable generators on the market. Key buying points for me were: Duel fuel is huge! The ability to use either gasoline or propane is perfect for me, and as a natural gas customer I will be adding the conversion kit to use natural gas for the most economical and environmentally friendly operation; 50amp output, most others in it's class only have a 30amp output; electric push button start and the 1st in class warranty. After unboxing, added the included oil, fueled it up and was running perfectly within minutes.

Excellent Design and Features

My husband and I bought this generator to run our well pump, because it will be another month until electricity is installed on our property. We are super impressed by the design...even little things like the convenient placement of the oil cap and the gas gauge are great. The multiple outlet types will allow us to use this directly with our camper, to provide power for construction tools, and in case of a power outage. The electric start and remote start are also super handy. A great generator for the price!

Great Generator

I bought this as a backup generator for hurricane prep. It appears to be a high quality product, and comes with all required items to get it running. After some minor assembly and prep, it started right up. I particularly like the dual fuel option, electric start, and the variety of different power connection options. Very nice product!

Nice!

I've been thinking about upgrading my old generator for awhile and finally did it, and I'm sure glad I did... this Westinghouse is really impressive! I just finished unpacking and prepping it and it started right up. It's a 9500w and my old one was only 5500w, so I was afraid it might be a lot louder... it's actually quieter! Well made with lots of nice features - I'm really happy with it.

Excellent Generator (Features, build, simple)

We bought the Duel Fuel WGen9500DF (9500/12500) on October 30, 2020. Right out of the box it was simple with a few assembly items and we were off and running (follow the manual for stating instructions: easy to read and follow). The generator is well built and heavy, easy to start, and looks impressive. We have a 3500 square foot home and it easily runs everything we need if the power goes off. I would recommend it to anyone.

Top Quality Product

This generator is one of the finest in the market. With this product I feel equipped and ready for the winter. I was planning on purchasing a generator for the past 3-4 years. With this product, I made the investment without hesitation given the outstanding reviews. No regrets.

WGEN9500DF First Impression

I just got the generator and am impressed with the features and choice of receptacles. The key fob is a convenient plus. The dual fuel option really makes it a true standby for anything generator because I always have 20 lbs tanks of propane around that never goes stale, and sometimes getting gasoline can be a problem with a major power outage. The frame is robust as I would expect for a heavy generator. It is not as quiet as the generator in my motorhome, but I did not expect it to be. After putting it together and filling the engine with oil, I ran it on propane to test it. Using the key fob to start it, it started on a cold day in the 20's on the second crank. After letting it warm up, I loaded it up with 1000 watts of lighting, a 1500 watt heater, and a 15 amp (1800 watt) air compressor. I never noticed any strain at all and the volts and hertz on the meter remained consistent, no dips. I am very pleased with my purchase. Two things to note though. (1) The 1.16 qt bottle of oil was not quite enough oil to get a good level on the dipstick, so I had to go buy an extra quart to top it off. (2) I really wish the wheels had rubber tread like you see on push lawnmowers rather than the hard plastic tread. I'm kind of a sceptic on the longevity of the wheels. Time will tell if the wheels hold up.

Ran 7 Days Straight During Hurricane Ian

I bought this generator in June of 2022 as I live in Southwest Florida. We were hit by Hurricane Ian on September 28, 2022. This generator was simple to setup and ran for 7 Days straight absolutely any issues. I changed to oil every 25 hours. It ran 3 refrigerators and everything in the house except my central air conditioner. I have nothing negative to report about this generator, simply amazing!!!
