WGen9500dfc

Purchased the generator last month. Arrived in about 10 days. Packaging was excellent - shipper did a great job - no knocks or dings in the box. Contents were tight in the box and easy to open. Easy to put together. Took me maybe 10 minutes to put on the two wheels and supports. Test run went well and the generator is pretty quiet. Overall I am very satisfied so far

9500 watt gen

Generator finally arrive and what a beauty. Nicely packed and easy assembly (wheels and feet). I ran it on gas for an hour with a load of 2200 watts, then and hour on propane with 4000 watts (house and A/C included). Worked like a champ and voltage stayed at 237 volts at 4k watts. Could use to be a little quieter, otherwise a great unit. Would definitely recommend!

The size we needed and available from Sam's club.

A gift from my wife for Christmas. Also purchased the extended warranty. Assembled it per instructions on January 2 and had trouble with the choke not engaging but did get it to start. Had an electrician set up our barn/man cave circuit panel. 01/14 Went to start the generator and it would not crank. Possible dead battery. Called Westinghouse tech support and was told to plug in the charge cable supplied with the generator and wait EIGHT hours and try to start it. Told not to leave the charger on for more than eight hours. I sincerely hope this is not going to be and on going problem. At this time I have to assume the tech was correct and will try starting the generator later this evening.

Durable and easily usable

I bought this to power my essentials and it has over exceeded my expectations. The set up was super simple and very straight forward. It’s a beautiful looking machine to boot! It powers mostly my entire house, the house level is on par with others and it gets the job DONE!

A lot for the money

I bought this a week ago. I Thought it would have to be returned. After putting wheels on , oil , gas , tried to start it several times and would not start. I did all the steps and nothing. Tried to take out spark plugs as recommended it would not come out. But that was due to the cheap nothing tool that came with it. Used a craftsman spark plug wrench came right put back in started right up. Run great. I think it will be a good purchase. Haven’t put load on it yet will do another review after I have it connected to the house. In the process of installing a soft start my home ac. It should run the whole house. I did try propane also ran smoother then gas.

Would Purchase again

It come complete with everything, Well documented manual, Oil, Funnel, Wrench for spark plug. Easy assembly had together in 15 minutes. Put gas in it and it started right up. I like the key fob that you can start and shut down from fob and you don't need to be insight of the generator. Also I like how quite it is. My son was over and now he is buying one for his house.

Great unit, powers the whole flipping house!

Bought it a while back, but finally had the electrician come out to install the transfer switch. He took one look and awed at the unit. State of the art, well built, and lots of power. Cranks up right way and is not too noisy. I’m getting a 5 ft lpg tank to go with it, and I’m good to go for a while. Highly recommend this one, and it’s a brand you can trust.

Great Home Backup!!

I had a transfer switch intstalled on the house and use the 30 amp outlet to power all my essentials. I can power my gas furnace, 3 freezers, 1 refrigerator, gas stove, and well pump with plenty of wattage to spare for extras. Super easy to use and fired right up after oil fill. And starting and stopping the generator with a wireless fob is a must for the wife when its cold outside!

Easy to set up

Setup was very easy. In particular, the remote pairing (which is normally a nightmare) was really clean and easy. The unit was bought online and some of these comments are probably online-specific. My unit (and it may not be true of everyone's) shipped with the battery hooked up, so the "Connecting the Battery" steps on page 12 were not necessary. I needed to charge the battery on receipt, which was easy enough. Note that the instructions for charging in the manual are on page 29 (not 30 as it says in the Table of Contents).
