Excellent product

I purchased this generator in October 2020. It arrived in excellent condition with all parts and accessories as advertised. The generator started without any issues, I used propane as the fuel. The directions for assembly were easy to understand and assembly was also very simple. I have used it once already due to a power outage in November 2020 and it worked great. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a back up generator for there home.

Very easy to assemble

I just received this generator on Saturday 09/16/ 2023. When I unpacked the shipping box, it was well protected, clean and the only items I had to assemble we the 2 wheels and the two rubber feet. That assembly took me about 10 minutes maximum. High quality construction Have not started it up[ yet; decided to fully charge the battery first.

Not made in China

I bought this generator to replace a 2 year old Durumax generator that has been sitting in the repair shop for a month waiting on Duromax to make up their mind as to weather or not they are going to cover the repair costs. Hopefully this Westinghouse generator provides years of reliable service.

Well built unit!

If your looking for a well built, nicely constructed unit, This is For you.. Large enough to supply power for running most everything in a home within reason . I picked the dual fuel as you never know where you'll find fuel during an outage.. I also bought this for its sound rating over other units.. The ability to self start with an ST unit is an excellent exclusive of this brand.. This is not my first Generator nor my first WestingHouse product.. Nice Job!!

Great, powerful portable generator

I bought this product in early July 2023, but due to a delay in delivery, I have only used it a few times. The battery would not start it when I first tried. I had to charge it with the battery charger that came with it which was easy to hookup. After it was charged it started easily and starts every time I push the electric start button. Also starts easily by using the remote fob. I tried using different power tools and it worked great. I think this generator is going to be reliable and cover all my needs.

Does It All

I purchased the WGEN9500df generator yesterday. It was easy to setup and get reedy to run. Hook up my propane tank and the generator fired up in just a couple seconds. The next day I put the generator on and powered up my house with it. I currently have a 30 amp plug but will be switching over to the 50 amp plug after I upgrade my breaker in my panel. Generator ran great with out any issues. I love the remote start button not that it is necessary but just a nice extra. I would highly recommend this generator to anyone as an alternative to a Generac or similar whole house unit.

Easy to start generator

I liked that there was very little assembly. Directions on how to use the generator was easy to understand. Generator started up and ran great. The only thing I disliked was the generator is very heavy until wheels were put on. I would recommend this generator to my family and friends.

Quality Generator

Received this generator yesterday. It took me about 30 minutes to unbox, install the wheels and rubber supports opposite the wheels, add oil, add gasoline and reread instructions on operation. Started up perfectly and I ran it about an hour and tested some power tools in my garage. Everything I tested work flawlessly. Have not tried propane yet as I will do that do in the next couple days. Manual states to break it in about 4 or 5 hrs and not to exceed a certain load during this time. There is nothing that I can say bad about it. Remote start/stop fob works great. Now to purchase fuel stabilizer and a couple more 5 gallon gas cans. Also will be installing direct connect to home electric with help from electrician friend. Will provide future updates.

Excellent Generator - Started on the First Try

I bought this unit because California has insufficient power generation and when the system load peaks out (like in a heat wave), rolling blackouts happen. On top of that, I live in a rural area where brush fires are common and whenever one is within 20 miles of me, the local utility kills all power. So the 9500DF will be my source of house power during these times. I received it today and opened the box by cutting all four corners and exposing the generator. Installing the front feet and the wheels was really easy. A 10 mm/13 mm wrench is supplied in the package but I used a small 10 mm socket to attach the feet. It's easier and quicker. I added the one liter of oil (supplied) using the offset funnel (also supplied). Connecting the battery only requires attaching the plugs together. I then checked the starter operation with the Start button (it turned over after a couple seconds delay). Then I used the remote to check the starter. Push and hold and about two seconds later, it turned over. The remotes are pre-paired with the generator by Westinghouse - nice touch! Finally, I added about three gallons of fuel, turned on the fuel valve, and pushed Start. The engine immediately fired up and ran smoothly. I could not be more pleased with this unit. I have an electrician coming in about a week to install a 50 Amp Transfer Switch. Once that is done, I am ready for the blackouts. I really like this generator. It makes slightly more noise than my old Generac 4 kW unit, but it is not objectionable and I doubt my neighbors will complain since we are on two acre lots and they are not all that close. I will post additional information I am connected to the house.

This thing is a BEAST!

I bought this portable generator last week and after the easy set up I put it through it’s paces and tested it as a back up to my house. I was able to run all the essentials including a gas water heater and gas furnace for heat and all my refrigerators. Great buy!
