All around excellent gen

Gave my old 20 year old generator to my son just so I could rationalize buying a new one. Decided on the 9500df and couldn't be happier. Great features: dual feed, electric start, and plenty of power for the entire house when needed. Unboxing and setup a breeze. Definitely would recommend.

Very Pleased!

I read so many reviews looking for the right generator to power the essentials of our house during a power loss. Settled on this one, and it was easy to set up and ran on the first try. I familiarized myself with lots of reviews where people left their recommendations for options to connect to the house, and we got a plug installed that allows us to power the whole house via the one plug. Yes, it's loud, but not unbearable, especially when the alternative is no power. Love the dual fuel feature and I love the fact that it does NOT connect to a smartphone like some models do. Assembly was easy and it's easy to move once it's on its wheels. The instructions are well-written and easy to follow. Tip: We did have to add a little more oil than the quart that came with the generator, so you may want to have some extra on hand.

Great Generator!

I've had a previous portable generator, FYI. This Westinghouse is amazing! The remote/push button start is First Class. The auto choke and repeat "starts" is fantastic! I don't have to pull to start time, and time, and time ever again. Easy to setup and moves around with ease. The Data Center keeps my "run hours" for the routine future maintenance. My electrician set up a transfer switch on the house power panel, so I'm ready for hurricane season or the "every 20 year" South Texas freeze! Thanks Westinghouse, great engineering.

Outstanding Generator

I bought this to run just my well pump in an emergency. However an electrician friend showed us that this generator was sufficient to run all my refrigeration and light as well as the pump. Our recent storm left us without power for three full days. The generator was easy to set up and get us to a level of comfort.

Solid generator with lots of features

This is a solid piece of equipment that seems to be build to last for years. Assembly was very easy and the generator was ready for operation in minutes. The dual fuel option is great as it gives you power options. Power/remote start will be key when getting out to the generator will be tough in bad weather. There are plenty of connection options and they are well laid out so many can be used at once. Plus it is a great looking piece of equipment according to my wife!

gREAT BUY FOR MONEY

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.

Very Easy Setup

I bought the generator for the next power outage and didn't set it up right away. So when the power went out, I run to a fuel station to get propane and set it up. 1 h later (incl. 30min round trip to fuel station for propane) the generator was running and all day the next week!

Dual Fuel/overall features

Received the Wgen9500DF a little over a week ago, and have just unboxed (7/18/21) and placed wheels and supports on unit and put in the oil... I have not started as yet since we will be use with a manual by-pass switch which is not fully installed as yet. I did months of research and looked at many customers comments on this and other brands and found the Westinghouse brand to have the features we wanted; Duel fuel, push button start with remote start capabilities. Cost per K/W was also reasonable given the value of the Westinghouse brand name. The Generator arrived with no visible dings or scaring; there was an abrasion from a tie down but hey, its a generator.... Looking forward to the initial start-up

Love the duel fuel

The propane fuel option I love most. No more cleaning carburetor of gas gel. Love the size of this generator it powers my whole house with a transfer switch at 1/4 the price of a stand alone gen system. I also like the electric start system with the key fob remote starter

Very, very nice machine

Bought this machine a few weeks ago and found it very easy to set up and get working. Found this generator relatively quiet compared to Briggs & Stratton it replaced. Very happy with user manual, pretty explicit. I planned to use when power goes out and am using 5w-30 synthetic oil which is good for all temps when I may have to use it. Also, the angled funnel provided made adding engine oil a breeze....and the remote start setup took less than 5min....
