Great Value!

I ordered this generator and received the shipment in four days, which was really quick in my opinion. The generator setup was simple and the machine started and ran well on propane out of the box. I researched several other generators of similar wattage and this model had the best options for the price. We are very happy with this purchase.

Upgraded from a smaller Westinghouse generator

I upgraded from a smaller Westinghouse generator after we weathered the winter of 2020 in the ice storm. Wife was sold! We got this because it had the remote start and had more voltage just to help us out. We don't have a large house, we have a two and a half ton AC which it powers handily. Just be aware that it will not handle resistant heat from a heat pump. Will not handle an electric water heater. Not many generators will and certainly not in combination. We piped in natural gas and that feeds the generator and the gas water heater. So it's the best of two worlds. Westinghouse has a great reputation and I have not seen anybody complain about them. I did power the house AC during the summer along with various items I would use normally with no issues. It did struggle with the dryer, but again that's to be expected under the circumstances. Just be aware of the limitations of your generator and you should be good. I wholeheartedly recommend this generator, and my best friend bought one based on my recommendation and what he has seen us do with the generator. That is a pretty good statement about the generator.

Excellent Generator

I bought this generator because it had the power I need, dual fuel, and easy to transport with wheels. I use it to power our cabin in the mountains. It is not too loud and we keep it in a ventilated part of our shed with exhaust venting to outside. We switch it on when our power goes out. Low snow pack and hotter drier summers means less water for hydroelectric.

Great item!

We received our generator this morning and right away we unpacked it and started it up after reading all the instructions. The size is very compact for the amount of power that it generates. The set up was easy and it runs great. So far so good. We will see how it stands up to a cold winter.

Easy to set up and start

Just got this and followed the instructions to set up. Used the whole bottle of oil came with but barely filled up to minimum. I started it using the remote. After one click, it took three cranks, automatically without further interference, to finally fire up. I guess it’s because it’s first time. The bottom line, it’s easy!

Love the Dual Fuel and Remote Start

We bought our WGen9500DF to have as a power back up at home since we are total Electric, we love it and actually use it for many things around our property while doing projects. Love the Dual Fuel ability and the Wireless Keyfob Remote start. We love the features on this unit.

Easy set up and quiet!

I bought this last month to replace an old generator that came with the house and got the WGen9500DF. Wow. I was impressed with the features on the unit. Circuit breakers, electric and remote start, voltage output display and running time. It even has a plug to keep the battery charged. I have only run it on gas so far but will eventually hook it up to propane on site. I has to be at least half as quiet as the old unit. Its a love hate relationship. I hate to have to use it but when I need it, I love having it!

Great features & easy set up

The generator and accessories arrived in perfect condition. The included plastic pad made it easy to tip the unit on its side to attach the wheels and rubberized supports. Then, the long folding handle made it easy to bring up the steps and onto the back porch! The instructions are very clear and it came with everything needed, including a power supply to charge the starting battery, propane hookup, and a fob for remote start. It even came with oil and a funnel! I like how it can run off gasoline or propane as we have both on hand, this being a somewhat rural area. I purchased a 14-50P (50A RV) to 4x120V 20A adapter. This is perfect as there are 4 areas in the house requiring power. One of the two GFI outlets will be available for the livestock water tank de-icer and I appreciate the safety factor. The maintenance schedule is reasonable although checking valve clearance after 100 hours of use (or every 6 months) seems a bit frequent. 100 hours is only 4 days, 4 hours, and power outages in this region have gone this long before. However, checking/adjusting valve clearance is very clearly stated in the manual. If you have a feeler gauge and torque wrench it should be no problem.

My Review for WGen9500DF

I could not be more pleased with this generator. Before purchase, I was concerned whether or not it would provide ample power for my 2 hp well pump. After I extended my propane line, my electrician was able to wire my breaker panel to accommodate my generator. I was very happy that, it was able to power my entire house, as well as my well pump. It really does the job. I would recommend that someone contemplating purchase, would view the excellent YouTube videos describing unpacking, installing wheels, adding oil etc. before contacting electrician. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.

Great Generator

Although I have not had a need to use it yet because no power outage so far this year, the logistics of the delivery were perfect and the generator arrived in perfect condition. And it started right up after reading the instructions. (make sure that the wire near the automatic choke lever is not impeding the movement of the choke)
