Dual fuel, wheel kit, large tank.

Ran under test, break in. Carried my house two refrigerators, 3 freezers. Washing machine and the AC unit. AC unit does have a soft start on the compressor. Compressor is a 2 stage 48K BTU scroll, trane w/tam9 AH. I was pleased to say the least. The power wave form looked good. The micro processor in the AH and the soft start were happy. The processor in the refrigerator was happy, my computer, led TV ups system everyone was happy. Me too.

Great value and dependable

Recently purchased the WGen9500DFc and I am extremely satisfied with its performance. It was easy to set up and started on the first try. The power output is impressive, has provided reliable electricity for my home during outages and in N CA it happens often. I love that it has a remote start and stop feature. The durable construction and user-friendly controls make it a great investment. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a dependable generator!

So powerful!

We bought this generator after a major hurricane. Our neighbors have one and it runs their entire house. We jumped on board and bought one ourselves because we have a well and need electricity to get running water. It was very easy to put on the legs and wheels and to start up for the first time. We love it because it is a duel fuel and sometimes it’s really had to find gas so the option for propane as backup is great. I really like how it has a remote start and push to start so we don’t have to go out and mess with it in the rain.

Great Purchase

This gives me peace of mind living on the unstable Texas power grid. Dual fuel is even better, as there have been gasoline shortages too. Delivery was smooth and on-time. Unboxing and assembly was uneventful. And the 9500DF starts up reliably and the noise level is bearable. Highly recommended.

Exactly what a woman needs

Just purchased this generator after the winter storms hit Texas. Being from NC we have bad winter and summer storms. I am a nurse that takes care of a medically fragile patient and we must depend on many medical devices such as his low air loss mattress and hospital bed, oxygen concentrator, and suction machine to just name a few. I must have the most reliable power source in the event of an emergency. I did much research and spoke with several other mechanically inclined "men" to see where I should put my money. The most important feature to me was that I could operate it by myself. I liked the keyfob best of all. I can click it out the window and not have to leave my patient's side. I liked the dual fuel option, especially being able to switch from one source to the other without turning it off. I liked that it has an automatic low oil shutoff. I liked that it has a metal gas tank, not plastic like my old generator that I can't operate by myself. I like that it can be hooked up to the house and run the whole house and I don't have to run drop cords everywhere. The hard tires are great, no need to worry about getting a flat. I'm a 5'0" tall female and had no trouble moving it around in the garage. After the quick assembly and adding the oil was the moment of truth. I pointed the keyfob and pushed, it fried up on the first touch. It ran surprisingly quiet, just another bonus. I don't want to lose power but now I can rest assured that I can manage this generator by myself. I will be ready and will post again after I am able to use it more.

Great Generator

This generator has done a fantastic job supplying all our power needs for building a barn in our pasture. No problem running an air compressor and several power tools simultaneously. Extremely happy with the portability and capabilities of this generator. Wish I would have bought it years sooner. I have recommended this generator to multiple friends.

9500 Generator

I bought the WGen9500DF generator since my 5300 model was stolen. Had good results with the 5300, ran smooth, started when I needed it. The 9500 was recommended from a family member who has it. Like the dual fuel option, and this model has battery / electric start and a remote control.. Nice features.

Good quality parts!

I was torn between this and a cheaper brand from a department store, I’m glad I went with this one! Seems like a real good quality product, everything is heavy duty, no cheap parts that I can tell. Love the electric start feature, haven’t used this during an outage yet, but with natural gas , my load isn’t that high. This generator will power my whole house ( minus the A/C). My only negative experience was getting it started for the first time took a lot of fighting. Electric start would not start it, I tried manually starting it as well which would not work. Lastly, I opened the carburetor cover and sprayed some starting fluid in it while it was cranking, and after three tries it fired up and ran well for an hour. Also be sure you use 5-30 synthetic if you live anywhere temps can get below 0. 1.1 quart is not enough oil to get the level within range on the dip stick, it took 1.4 .

Versatile, reliable, powerful.

We were deeply humbled when this last hurricane hit us last month. We were no strangers to hurricanes, severe storms, and flooding. So when the power went out at 5 am, we were expecting it to return by noon. It took over 5 days for Centerpoint to restore power to our house. This was a rude awakening, especially since temperatures were in the 90's with 90% humidity. We lost a lot of our frozen game, even though we grilled for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After extensive research, we settled on this Westinghouse Generator. We have a liquid propane refilling station a couple of miles away, which made this generator a no brainer. After running it through it's break in process, we were confident it would serve us well once the next storm hits us. Kinda bummed it doesn't have a 12v output but with all of the plugs, it shouldn't be a problem. I appreciate the spark plug cross reference chart for other brands, just in case we need to replace it in an emergency.

Great Value Investment

This is a great value for the money, purchased as a spare to have on hand. Love the options of auto-start, remote start (fob) and manual. Never used Propane but instructions were easy to put on the wheels and get started up. Was delivered on time in the window frame selected. Very pleased.
