Great features and reliable backup power

Purchased this for a business as a backup power to run our primary IT equipment in case of power failure. The dual fuel is nice as we always have propane on hand for our forklift. It delivers plenty of power to keep our main network and few primary servers online in case of a power outage. The push button start and 50 amp twist lock make it quick and simple to start up and connect to our transfer switch to keep things running.

Great generator.

I have yet to use my generator under load, but so far I am very happy with my purchase. It was easy to assemble and has some great features! After adding oil and hooking up the battery and connecting my propane tank the generator fired right up. The key fob is a nice addition. The users manual needs an update as it had me disconnecting battery terminals when all I really needed yo do was connect the battery via an interconnect. All and all, I am happy with this product.

Bought used, frame damaged

We bought our generator used and it stated only the packaging outside was damaged. When it arrived the frame next to the fuel tank was severely bent in. We tried it . It still works and I don't think the frame damage affects the generator itself so though I'm a bit annoyed there wasn't more transparency I'm still happy.

Excellent Power

Will be a great system to keep everything running in an emergency at home or to take on the road when I need to run big tools away from a power supply. Seems to be very well built. I am having an issue with the battery, but I'm confident that I can get good support from Westinghouse to figure that out.

Solid build

I've only had this for a short time but it is solidly built. Assembly was fast and easy, all tools needed were included. Easily handled all the tools and air compressor at the same time. This will mostly be a backup generator for the house but will see use on the job-site too. Pretty heavy for getting in and out of a truck but once on the ground it maneuvers easily.

Great generator for the Price

The generator was so simple to put together. W9500DF wow it comes with a portable plug to charge to battery if needed and located right on the panel. Bought this for future hurricanes to power the home items needed without hassle. Remote start super great.

Power Plus

I bought this generator a few weeks age it, online pic is deceiving it looks quite big but size is only 2 1/2 feet long x 1 1/2 feet wide & 2 feet high w/o wheels 2 1/2 feet with wheels installed, everything came in one box all I had to do is connect battery install wheels & rubber stands and add oil & gas, easy start, pushed start button started right up, runs nice & smooth.

Got me through Hurricane Milton

I bought this earlier in the year, tested it, and then put it away. I got to use it for real last week after Hurricane Milton rolled through. I topped up the battery just in case, and it fired up on the first button press. The day after Milton I connected the generator to my 50A inlet and I was up and running instantly. We had A/C, hot water, fridge, chest freezer, microwave, coffee maker, TV, and some lights for the entire day. With just the A/C (3.5 ton, set to 78 F), fridge & chest freezer I was using gasoline at about 0.5 gallon per hour or so. I refilled the generator in the evening, around 5PM (started it around 7AM that day). We ran the water heater for a little while with the A/C off just in case. As I was putting the generator away for the night, the power came back on. I wasn't even fretting it though, since we were quite comfortable with what we got out of this generator. My only complaint is that the generator is quite loud, but it's not really an issue when everyone on your street has their own going at the same time. Once inverter generators of this output class become more widely available, I will probably replace this with that.

Big Blue machine

Haven't had the chance to use yet as just received, but it did start right up and our electrician said made the right purchase for our application. We set up the house with a sub panel to run particular circuits when the power goes out so he said this generator was a great choice

Great Value

Mostly assembled - easy to unpack and set up without assistance. Included all accessories to get it running, including tools, battery charger, oil and a funnel. Dual fuel feature is very helpful in providing an alternative fuel source. Electric start, including remote, makes starting the generator very easy. Panel is easy to read. Seems extremely well made.
