I bought this after the last hurricane came through N.C. andcwe lost our power. My wife is on oxygen and her emergency tank ran out seeing the oxygen company was out of equipment has no choice but to run a drop cord to our Jeep to use the inverter to run her portable oxygen machine. Also lost everything in our refrigerator and freezer so no matter what we will be set and ready for next time we are without power. This thing powers the whole house at least the main necessities. Very happy and pleased with our purchase.

I had done a couple of low load cycles previously and a hurricane came last week. Lost power at 2 am Monday, it was out until 4 pm Thursday. The generator ran one of my central AC units, fridges, tv and freezer with no trouble. I just had to keep finding more propane.

This generator has all the features imaginable. The construction and quality is the best there is. It starts instantly and runs smoothly. The start fob is wonderful. You can stay inside and start the generator. The Westinghouse reputation is outstanding and I'm very happy I purchased this generator.

We bought this generator after losing power from a recent ice storm in Texas. We plan to have our house hardwired so the generator will power our home for the next outage. We will run it mainly on gasoline and use propane as a backup source of fuel. The generator seems really well built and cranked immediately and ran like a top on gasoline. The model we purchased has a push button start and a key fob as well! Great product and would recommend to anyone wanting a generator for a backup power source.

This generator is well built, compact and powerful. The box had some damage but the generator was unscathed! All parts and components were there and it took me 5 minutes to unbox it and assemble the wheels and feet add the oil and plug in the battery charger so it is ready to go when needed.

Followed the clear set-up instructions, added oil, attached propane tank source and it fired up the very first time. Under a whole house load it was smooth and no hesitation. My Electrican was quite impressed. Many positives about this generator. The negative is that it is a bit noisier than I was expecting but not a deal breaker.

I am a licensed electrician and I recommend this product to all my clients . The generator has multiple receptacle configurations for small or medium to larger homes and meets most of my clients needs . I like the dual fuel feature for those that want to use propane the simple hookup and operation are easy and the fact that Abby tank of propane does not go bad sitting in storage .If you can fill your lawn mower with gas than you can fill this as well . Taking care of the fuel and oil properly has delivered years of trouble free service for me and my clients. Mike R Valley stream Ny

Bought this unit recently for backup us in a severe storm or hurricane. This unit is extremely well designed and manufactured. Welds, paint, fasteners and components are all top notch. Unit started right up - no issues. Dual fuel use allows me to use a 100lb propane tank for multiday power outages without storing a lot of gasoline on the property. It seems quieter than other equivalent units and the portable nature allows me to store away when not needed. Very pleased!

I just received the Wgen9500DF and had an opportunity to test it for about an hour. The first thing I noticed was the quality of the generator as it related to everything being where it was supposed to be; fastened correctly, and the ease of getting it started. I had a previous generator from a well known company, and it worked, but was not well put together, and couldn't touch the Wgen9500DF in the way it functioned. It finally died, and this was the replacement. The Dual Fuel is another great asset. It's a great improvement. I feel ready for whatever comes along!

I purchased this as a backup for my home. The Good News: I had an electrician wire up a lockout switch for me and I've tested it with the 50 Amp circuit. It works and powers my A/C for a 2 story home. Yay! Also, it starts very nicely both via button and by key fob. Great! The Bad News: This thing is soo loud. My dB meter shows 83 dB at 20 feet. And it's a "mean" sounding 83 dB. I'm a musician and I'm used to sound which is much louder than that. But this 83 dB is painful. Furthermore, that 83 dB was *at idle*. Once I hooked up the generator to my home and the A/C came on, the sound level went up approx. another 10 dB and stayed there. 93 dB at 20 feet?! Think about that carefully. OK so that changed my plans. I thought I'd put the generator between my home and my neighbor's home. But my neighbors are close and I can't do this to them! So I had to create a partial-box to put around the generator to decrease the noise. That was a lot of work, and it's inconvenient. What can I say? This just isn't acceptable in my opinion without some kind of noise abatement. Please understand that I have had a couple generators before and I regularly use generators. This one is so much louder than any of the others. But this one also is more powerful. Another annoyance: The wheels are positioned badly. My 50 Amp plug is a right-angle plug and the cord runs into the wheel. Look at how the 50 Amp plug is postioned and you'll see why. So I have to bend my cord around the wheel, and that puts tension on the plug & receptacle: not good. I wish they'd put the wheels on the other side. In spite of all of that, I'm very happy to have a working solution for future power outages.
