Easy!: Don't Forget To Snap Battery Connector Line

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. The generator arrived without a scratch as it was packaged well from Westinghouse. The instructions and set-up to get it running on Propane only was very helpful. The only thing that didn't match in the instructions was it stated to connect the battery to terminal; however, they now have the line connected to the battery, but you must 'snap' it together with the starter line. Very simple and easy. Started up with remote start on propane only.

Power Outage Insurance Policy

We lost power for a week after Helene came through. I borrowed a generator from my parents and think they bought it sometime in the 1800’s. It ran ok, but didn’t have a lot of power; just enough for the fridge and freezer and that’s about it. It was coughing and sputtering like it wanted to send us back into the stone ages. After a LOT of research, over 25k reviews with a 4.9 out of 5 rating helped me choose this dual fuel generator and a transfer switch. The quality is great and I like the features. The push button start and remote will make it easier for my wife to use this as she had a little difficulty starting the one we borrowed. Now we will be ready for the next time the power goes out, and my family will be safe.

Great features, runs great and easy to start

I bought this in November 2024. After reading the manual I followed the instructions, and the machine fired up on the first try. It ran for about ten minutes and sounded great. Again I followed the instructions and and stopped the machine. It ran through the entire initial trial without any issues. As a matter of fact I called my electrician and had him come out and wire my house for a 50 amp outside svc connection. After he was finished, we fired the generator up and ran it for about 15 minutes under power and had no problems whatsoever. I think it is a quality machine and well built. Thank you!

Well worth the cost

I've only had this for a few days and haven't run it yet. I have it ready but I'm still reviewing directions. I have an old generator that is smaller. This one has many upgrades over my old one. I want to be sure of all the directions on how to run and maintain. Seems very well built.

EXCEPTIONAL FEATURES

Prayers answered. Last year during hurricane Ida my previous generator failed. The quality of my Westinghouse generator is obviously superior! When I told my electrician I wanted a hookup to power my whole home with my new portable generator, he looked skeptical and doubtful about doing that. Then I showed him my new WGen9500DF and he was impressed. He confirmed it would be no problem for this generator to power my whole home. Hallelujah! This is not your typical portable generator. Get one for yourself today!

Great "Little" Big Generator

We bought this little beast after the wild fires in Oregon late last year. We figured it would be good to have. Suddenly we get ice storms, the trees take out all the power lines, and we have a little generator that has saved (and cooked) our bacon. The dual fuel is a great option, though this thing pulls hard, so my one quibble is that a propane system heater would have been nice, to stop icing of the on-gen regulator. Super happy with this little blue beastie.

Best Bang for the Buck

I recently bought this after hurricane Laura because of how long we were without power. I did my research and I think you are getting a lot for your money with this generator. This company has been around for several years, so they have to be doing something right. Hopefully next time we are without power, my family and I will be ready!

Terrific value and quality.

This month I received the generator and did a mock power cut drill. I fed it through a 50 Amp breaker with safety interlock and supplied my home with power. It worked perfectly. I am so pleased with the outcome and now have peace of mind dealing with future brown outs or power cuts.

Awesome Generator, Sleek and Quiet

Bought this generator to power my whole home after having rolling power outages! This thing is awesome, it’s sleek and a lot more quiet than I thought it would be. Extremely happy with my purchase and now I don’t have to worry about my family going without!

Great home backup generator

I upgraded to this generator from a 5000 watt, 30 year old generator that still worked, but was struggling to keep up with the modern demands of a household. In addition to keeping the lights on, I can run my well pump, sump pump, furnace, 1 or 2 burners on the electric range, window AC, and even the oven. Not all at the same time, but it will hold these loads as needed. That is just what I need when the power goes out here in the Northeast.
