Good genny

Arrived promptly. Four stars only because I've only tested it. Not yet used for a hurricane backup yet. Tested excellent. Cranked at first try. Efficient. Runs quiet for a genny. Easily handles my needs of 2 fridges, one box freezer, one sump pump. Ran off gas. Will test propane tomorrow. . Gauges easy to read and display what I need (fuel level, engine hours).nice extras like a cover for each plug) Good gemny for a reasonable price Good for my home and family's use I've seen a lot of gunny use while serving active suty

Excellent generator

Bought this unit as backup in case electrical goes out this winter. We have 2 elderly people living with us who do not do well when disruptions occur. The unit was easy to set up, took maybe 20 mins to get it ready. As this is a gas/propane unit- I decided to use the propane side of things. Got everything set correctly and the unit started running immediately. This unit will come in handy. It appears to be well made and is extremely easy to use.

Gets the job done.

I bought the WGen9500DF for emergency home backup. I can't speak to the long term reliability yet as we haven't run it more than a couple of hours for testing, but, it's certainly powerful. was able to run all of our critical loads including a 4.5 ton AC without a problem.

Everything I need to be prepared

I purchased this unit after reading popular mechanics and educating myself about different types of generators. Losing power for a week from Helene taught me a lot about what I need out of a generator. I had an electrician install an interlock switch and a 50 amp inlet box so I can use my existing breaker panel to choose circuits I need to run during an outage, such as the well pump. The instructions for the generator are easy to follow and the unit fired right up on propane. I like the ability to run on a propane and gasoline, although propane is my preferred fuel due to it running cleaner and storing better. My break in period is complete, and now I'm ready for the next outage!

Great Product - but Battery does not charge

I did extensive research and liked the Westinghouse brand. Read lots of reviews. New out of the box, started up and ran perfectly for a few hours. Then just stopped working. Determined that the battery is not charging during use. Note, as of writing this review, I have not yet contacted Westinghouse support. I will update an amend my review as things change.

Cost effective solution

Purchased as a backup when PG&E cuts power during storms. Hopefully it doesn't happen regularly. But wanted this portable backup available for the instances when it does happen. Just wish it was protected from rain so I don't have to cover it somehow in the event it rains when in use.

Westinghouse WGen9500 generator

I bought this generator before the Florida hurricane season to power up my house when the electricity goes off. It's capable of powering up my HVAC system, refrigerator, internet, some lights, and hopefully the water heater. It has all the features I have been looking for. I did extensive research and selected this generator. The reviews were consistently high for this model.

Great Features & Easy Setup

We actually just received this and haven't had to use it during a power outage yet, but so far, we love what we see. It was very easy to put together and cranked right up. There are great options on this unit. We feel very confident that we will be very comfortable if we end up having to go through another power outage in our area.

Well Built, quality machine

I spent a lot of time researching machines and short of putting a much more expensive system in, decided to go this route in hopes that I wouldn’t need it often. Received it early and in excellent condition. Quality construction, manuals and instructions. Heavy, heavy but once wheels are installed, easy to move. Waiting for electrician to interface it to my home and will then do a test drive.

So far; everything's good

Have heard great things about this Westinghouse Wgen9500 series of generators; and so far this appears to be true, but I am only still in the early "break-in" phase....and it has not been put to the test. Can not say the same about the choice of shipping companies; as delivery was several days after stated date; and the item had obviously been mishandled, and even stood on end; as the bottle of oil had been crushed with over half leaking out all over the contents in the box in that end.....not across the bottom of the box where you would expect it to be if sitting on the base as it should be.
