Quieter than expected!

I received the generator (WGen9500DF) about a month ago, unboxed, installed the wheels, feet and oil. Added fresh fuel and plugged in the battery. At first this unit wouldn’t start. After going back and reading the quick start guide I realized I didn’t turn on the fuel valve, My bad. After turning the fuel valve on I tried again. It cranked twice and fired up. The very first thing I noticed was it was much quieter than I expected. I am comparing this unit to a one year old much smaller Champion. I ran this unit for two hours just to give it some run time before using it as a backup power source for our house. Last night I finally had the need to use it. Power went out, forced are heat went out and the house got cold. Rolled the unit out of the shop and hooked it to my switch. Turned on the fuel valve LOL and it started in less than two seconds in -2 degree temperatures. This thing ran two full size refrigerators a full size freezer, my forced air heater and lights in the house for 6 hours, I was even able to warm up coffee in the microwave, all of this with no light dimming or flickering no problems at all. To say the least, I am very happy with this generator.

Just got new

I just got this and after following instructions it started and ran perfectly. Put about a pint of gas in it to test and it seemed to run for almost an hour since I wanted to run it dry. I believe I made the right choice for a backup generator for my vacation home.

Easy to assemble, starts right up

I bought the generator as a backup for our home during power outages. The generator arrived quickly and requires very little assembly. I was able to gas up the generator and it started right up. All the instructions needed to operator the generator are on the generator itself so it makes it easy.

Westinghouse Engineers Double Down

The WGen series is built to be used alot and last a long time doing it. It is ergonomically designed with it's features all at hand and ready to go. Although it is a new installation for me I'm not green to arranging back-up power for myself or elderly people. My fifth actually my second personal and three for others with heath problems and medically necessary equipment for survival and function. Testing the Wgen9500Dfc installation ha gone so well the next request to put a back up in place the Westinghouse WGen-DFc series is set as the default anchor of any application.

Great Features

Unit came a week ago via shipping company, one small dent but luckily the manual took most of the brunt, hopefully they can send me a new one. In no time I was up and running on propane...if I'm lucky no gas will ever go into it. There are simply too many great features on this unit! The best...battery and remote....now I feel confident that my wife can get things up and running when needed....goona build a nice little mice proof building for in to blend into the landscape and we are good to go...Thanks Westinghouse!

Excellent product so far

I bought this product a couple of weeks ago. I have only used it in a test run. Easy to set up, and operate. I consulted an electrician where I work and was told this size generator would run all the necessities during a power outage. He is installing a 50 amp receptacle and main breaker lock out on my house. One cord connection to the 50 amp port on the generator and I can select the breakers I want to power in the breaker box. The dual fuel option is really nice. Runs quieter than expected.

Awesome Features

We a bad storm on its way I needed to order a reliable generator. In researching all the generators suitable for my requirements I found this generator. Knowing Westinghouse is a reliable company with great products I knew this generator would be an excellent choice. It runs like a charm and auto start is awesome. The start up power is another excellent feature. I am very happy and feel confident in this machine!

Great generator with the features I wanted

I haven’t had this generator long but so far I am well pleased. The small amount of assembly, connecting the battery and putting the oil in was easy. It started almost immediately after pushing the start button. I tried the key fob and it worked great. I ran off propane and it ran well, I haven’t tried gas yet but I’m sure it will run fine. I am very impressed so far.

One Reliable Power Machine

After purchasing a smaller Generac brand generator, my girlfriend and I came across a great deal on what she calles "Big Blue" the Westinghouse. Its powerful enough to run our entire home including the A/C Unit and Dryer. She likes the convience of the key fob and ease of use, I like the quaulity, ease of use, price and being able to switch from gas to propane for what Im now calling "The Machine"!! I will definatly recommend to anyone.

Great Features

Easy to set up. Heavy but easy to move around once the wheels are on it. Awesome features. Love the dual fuel option, the push to start and the remote start options. The outlets have nice rubber covers for protection. I have a Generac HomeLink manual transfer switch system so I'll be connecting this Westinghouse generator using its L14-30A. outlet.
