Awesome Generator

I just got my Generator after looking at many different brands. I ended up choosing the Westinghouse because of the Westinghouse reputation, and I also read many reviews. This is a beast and I know that hopefully It won't get used often, but I will have it when I do. I also like the dual fuel option.

Incredible Technology

Good, heavy, solid generator, a beast! I researched this unit for a month before I bought it, and so far it is all that was advertised. After putting the wheels on, I installed the oil (included) per the manual, reviewed all the startup procedures, and it fired up immediately with the electric start, as well as the included remote start 'key' fob. I tested a few small items--a space heater, some lights--and all worked perfectly. This generator charges the battery through the battery's cables, but the set also comes with a separate plug-in charger similar to a phone charger, and the battery can be charged from a separate source. As heavy as it is, this generator was not difficult to move around, as the wheels are situated under the heaviest part, and rolling it is similar to lifting a wheelbarrow. All in all, I'm not looking for another hurricane here in Florida, but I'll be ready if it happens.

Quick delivery

Generator was delivered sooner than was anticipated. Easy to understand instructions. Hopefully we will never need it for a power outage. However, we will now be set should one occur. Look forward to using it in the spring for the power tools to build a greenhouse.

Wgen9500df

Just got the generator and it took all of 30 mins to get it running. I like that it has a trickle charger and a remote start these are really convenient to have. Only issue is that the oil is not enough for the generator, it's says 1.1 liter but i had to buy another quart to finish filling it up. I'm still loving it though and i'll be ready for the next Hurricane in FL

Worked as Advertised!

Unit worked as advertised. Cooled the room faster than we thought it would. Fairly quiet - about the same as a window unit. One issue is it's heavy! No handles to help lift it out of the box. Also, doesn't roll well on carpet. Built a wood platform with casters to help move it room to room. Only pulls 1300 watts, much less than window unit. All in all, good buy!

Features

After much reserach and comparing this WGen9500DF unit to numerous other brands and types of similiar products, I found it to most fit my requirements and needs without reguard of it's price point, which I would note, is very competative considering the features included.

Powers the whole house

I bought this after installing a transfer switch to power my house in case of a power outage. I tested it with the AC, pool equipment, washer/dryer, etc. running and it handled everything with ease. Turns on easily. It is heavy, so difficult to manuver, but the long handle does a good job to keep it stable - even on steep slopes (like ramps to a shed).

Great price

Just received. Was so happy how easy set up was and it came with oil,propane hose a tool kit and a hand book that was so easy to follow start up was so easy being its push button. The key fob also works great. So much power this generation easly runs my whole house with power to spare only used for a few hours but so far so good very happy with my purchase.

The boss

Arrived very well packaged so no damage. It's heavy so have a boxcutter ready to slide out on to a rug but after that it's simple to assemble.Just had to install the feet and wheels. The battery connections were already screwed on so that was 1 less thing I needed to do. I was pleased with the size and construction of the tires. I put the oil (provided-use the entire bottle) and the gas in and it started right up. It's a beast for power. Little louder than I expected but if power is out I figure the neighbors will have their own generators going. Electrician installed a transfer box and set up my breakers for what we will power up when needed.

High Altitude Modifications

My home is above 8000 feet of altitude. That requires replacement of fuel system parts for efficient operation on gasoline or propane. Working with the Service Hotline to get the right parts took several days. Email was the best way to get the part numbers. The generator runs well at high altitude.
