Fantastic machine!

In the middle of a 3 day power outage, we did searching and reviews and this was the best choice to power our house. We received it 2 weeks earlier than expected and it is amazing. We are troubleshooting ahead of time for when it will be needed for our small RV and hopefully never, but to power our house. The propane/gas feature is ideal and we are beyond ecstatic with our purchase! Ready to go!

whole house

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!

So Easy to Handle

We bought this after Hurricane Beryl so we'd be ready for the next one. It was delivered as scheduled in perfect condition. A few days later we had a transfer switch installed. We were able to get it hooked up easily. A few days later, we tried it ourselves with no help. These two 70 somethings were able to start it the first time. It now powers our whole house incuding the air conditioning. Now we have peace of mind.

Solid Power House on two wheels!

Super surprised on how easy it was to unbox, "assemble" (wheel kit and feet)...easy peasy. Follow the set up instructions and its smooth sailing. Not hard to move around. Started right up, ran perfectly. Had electricians over to install a lock out and soft start for AC...they were ultra impressed with the fit and finish. Load tested - this can run every essential in my home if power goes out. There are some things that you must prioritize, dryers, over constant AC, stuff like that - Gave me super confidence for winter and summer brown outs. It will take a while to get to know it better, plan on using it once a quarter and making a use log for maintenence needs. So far - A+

A Beast for the money!

I bought this generator to be able to power our whole house, and it DELIVERED! I did have trouble with it popping it's main breaker at first, but I was trying to run 3 refrigerators, a well pump, 75 inch smart TV, and a 3-1/2 ton central AC unit!, and the generator was setting in the hot sun! So, after a phone call to a company that sold soft starter's for my AC, the technician asked if I had grounded my generator. I said no. So, I put in a seperate grounding rod near our pole barn, and attached it to the grounding lug provided on the front panel with 6 guage solid copper wire. I also had a fan blowing on the generator. It not only ran everything I said above, but also a wall mounted oven!!! Just 1 oven, but what a BEAST! I plan on converting it to natural gas, but to only run fridges and furnace in the winter here in Michigan. Thanks for an amazing product Westinghouse!!!

Really sweet setup!

The reviews are what sold me on this generator, after unboxing it I can agree. This thing is sweet! It appears that Westinghouse thought of everything and did not sacrifice the original purpose, a quality product with extra bells and whistles! Very happy with this purchase!

Great generator

We just bought this generator. We haven't used it yet, but the size, weight and features are perfect for our use. We bought it for back-up power for our 5th wheel trailer. We feel much more at ease traveling knowing we have power when needed. It seems well built and good quality.

Westinghouse WGen9500DFc Portable Generator

I just purchased this generator and was impressed with it's solid construction and aesthetics right out of the box.  Westinghouse is rated as a top tier generator and has solid legacy reputation as a quality product.  Even though it weighs 250 lbs, the front folding handle enables easy transport.  Generator is transfer switch ready, control panel is methodically arranged.  Setup was quick, just 2 wheels and front support legs.  It truly is an impressive machine, can't wait to fire it up.  Tent running cover allows easy access to controls and refueling options.  Will provide future reviews regarding noise level and running efficiency.  Very happy with my purchase.  Service center stated that other comparible generators cannot run 12 hrs straight without overheating  this however is not an issue with this generator.

Great

I bought this because I live in Florida and having a lot of money in food stored in the freezer. I needed a way to keep them going in the event of a hurricane or any other long term power failure. I chose this model for its dual fuel capability and shipping was quick, recieved in exactly 1 week from date of order.

Worth It

We moved in our brand new house and we wanted to make sure we had a generator. There has been several hurricanes and unpredictable weather in our area. This one came highly recommended and so far we have no regrets. I suggest others to read the reviews and read through the manual. Staying prepared makes this purchase worth it.
