Remote start is great!

I haven't fully tested this yet, but my "out of the box" experience has been flawless. Slapped the wheels on, added oil, added a tiny bit of gas. Stepped back, hit the remote start button, and voila! Started first time out of the box. Ran for a second or two, then died. Did I mention "tiny bit of gas"? After a few seconds, the generator *automatically* tried to restart. I hit the remote stop and it gave up. I added a bit more gas this time, hit the remote start button and it started right up. This kind of experience gives me confidence in what the future holds for me and my new gene(rator).

Easy to Use

After a horrible winter last year in Texas, we decided to be prepared before winter or the next emergency happened again. We had inquired with other friends and relatives and came up with this generator. One of our sons and many of our friends decided to purchase the same generator because we could run one of our a/c units to heat or have a/c in one side of the house and have the ability to use our lights and power 2 refrigerators. This generator can get us through any emergency!

Great Features!

My husband bought a used generator from a friend. As hurricane Milton approached, he found that it didn't work. Our friend lent us another one, but I wanted a new one. We luckily didn't need it for the hurricane, but I now have peace of mind that we have a new working generator!

EXCELLENT UNIT

I bought this unit to provide emergency power to my home. It arrived quickly and the setup was quick and easy. I integrated the unit into my home power supply and it works great, providing all the power I need to run my home in a power outage condition.

Solid Value and Quality

Just received this last week. Easy assembly and started right up. Seems very well built. Runs well on gas and propane ! Very pleased. Remote start is a great feature and a plus. Will test this under full load next week. If other reviews are an indication, this should be a reliable product. Proper maintenance is a must that most folks don't realize. Would recomend.

A powerhouse

After borrowing my son's generator in a recent power outage, decided it was time to invest in one myself. Needed one that the wife could start herself in case I'm out of town. Chose an electric start model. Works great. Have it hooked up to a transfer switch, so can run essentials (cooking, heating, fridge, some lights) in case of another outage. Glad I got it.

Easy to set up and operate

My wife has been after me to get a generator for years because we are prone to power outages in our area during the summer and winter. Last fall, we finally got a Westinghouse WGen9500DF and it turned out to be great timing. We put it to good use twice this winter and it kept the important things running for a couple of days each time. Noise level is a bit high but I imagine that is to be expected. Getting it set up and running was pretty easy and can be done by one person. Seems like a product that will last a long time.

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.

Solid

Bought this during the winter storm of 2021. Extremely long story short, my parents live in Texas and I was out of country jumped on first flight possible and returned to the states. I needed to take a generator to Texas from my home in Alabama. I had a decent size one at home a made the drive to help them have power. I ordered this generator on my return and when I returned home I opened the box, I was really not expecting to have such a high quality product. It is larger and better built than my last one. Have to give this a 5 star, side note it has a remote start, not sure what I’d use that for but it’s definitely a plus!

More awesome features than Champion and Duromax

I just purchased this generator and I must say the features are great. Set up was a little difficult. Definitely a 2 person job (please don't use your wife) unless she is a body builder because this monster is heavy. After everything was assembled, pour in gas, stabilizer and oil. Flipped the switch and pushed the button, she fired right up after the third cycle.
