A Generator Powerhouse

This generator was well worth the wait, 2020 has been hard on everyone, including manufacturing. I knew this 9500DF was the generator that I wanted, I looked at the competitors, but they were not even in the same league of quality, power and price for a powerhouse generator like this. Assembly was very easy, 20 minutes and it was ready to run. Westinghouse did not skimp on features, they even included a remote start, how great is that, sit in the house, push a button and lights on ! Just by the generator sound, You can be sure , if it's Westinghouse !

Loads of Power!

Just received the Westinghouse WGEN9500DF unit. Uncrated and assembled with ease. Added oil and connected propane. Started right up! Love that this unit over most others in it's size class has covered outlets. Looking forward to getting it connected to my home with a transfer switch and ready for use before our next power outage.

Great Generator-Covers All The Bases

I received this product a few days after a tornado swept through my small town. What a life saver!!! This kept the essential lights on as well as a window unit and powered the fridge with plenty left to spare. Came with all the essentials to set it up. Switching to propane could not have been easier. So very glad I purchased this product

Perfect for whole house back-up power

Arrived on time and in perfect condition. Easy, minor assembly and no surprises. Strait forward removal of neutral ground bond wire for powering main breaker panel. Easy earth ground rod attachment. Started 1st try with remote or panel button. Worked on gasoline and propane. Excellent features.

Great Generator!!!

This generator was easy to assemble. Ten minutes wheels and leveling legs where on. Oil added, gas put in tank, propane hooked up. Ran 2 hours with 1 gallon of gas (still some in tank) then turn handle from gas to propane without missing a beat. Ran another 2 hours. I had all lights on in house, 3 bathroom fans, 1 tv, ran dishwasher, washing machine, 2 refrigerators, microwave and a basement dehumidifier. Ran the furnace for heating as well. I used the 14-30 outlet to a manual interlock. This generator kept up without missing a beat. Extremely happy with this purchase for emergency power. After researching the Westinghouse generators kept coming up top of list in all reviews. Seems to be a very well built machine.

excellent backup design

Dual fuel generators such as this one are the only way to go for home backup power. For intermittent and unpredictable needs, gasoline is a poor choice. Too often long intervals occur and gasoline (even non-ethanol) can gum up the carburetor. I prefer to have propane only for short operations. If I run short of propane, I will switch to gasoline to carry me over until I can refill my propane tanks. Once I refill the propane tanks I will drain out the gasoline and run the engine until it is dry. Only then will I switch back to propane. The danger of using ethanol should be more prominently noted in the manual. The manual schematic that came with the generator was for the wrong generator. I loaded a copy of the manual off the Internet which appears to the correct one. I will be wiring in a power transfer panel. My wife will require a checklist to do the transfer as the procedure will get involved. Example checklists would be helpful. She would be unable to start the generator manually; so, the electric starter can literally be a life saver. Some reports indicated the presence of obvious sloppy production assembly, but my unit displayed no such problems. It started up immediately on propane. THD is higher than I like for use with computers. As an engineer, it would appear to be a relatively simple task to provide an accessory to the generator to reduce THD.

Nice generator!

Generator arrived today about 10 days after order. Setup was super easy. I plan to run this on propane with gas as a backup. Started immediately on first try. I just finished the 5 hour break-in and it used most of my 20lb tank. 7 hours on 1 tank is going to be close. Can't wait to test this generator under load...

Perfect for what I need!

Bought this generator for a backup power for my house. Unit came with every single piece of information your could ever need from getting warranty registered, parts break downs ect. I work for a rental company and have seen lots of new generators come in and only send little to no info. Goes to show they back there product and want to help the customer.

WGen9500DF

I bought this generator after snowmegeddon left us without power for several days. I read through tons of reviews on a lot of different generators and decided on this one for my needs. It will run everything in my house except the central electric heater as it is a 60a breaker. It will run a 3.5 ton central AC, 12,500 BTU window unit and misc items around the house all at the same time or multiple space heaters for the winter. It satisfies my needs for what I intend to use it for, will also be of great use working away from readily available power source for the welder, saws etc. That all being said, it is loud. It will definitely disturb your neighbors, for this I intend to build a baffle box with ample ventilation to dampen the sound. For this reason I would not recommend this generator for RV'ing, however for backup home use it will work great and is a much cheaper option than the standby generators.

Great generator good capacity

I recently purchased a dual-fuel generator, and I’m really impressed with the flexibility it offers. I love that it has both gasoline and propane options, giving me more control over how I power my home during outages. I opted for a 40 lb propane tank, and it’s been a game-changer. It easily runs all my computer equipment and my 10,000 BTU portable AC unit, which keeps my master bedroom cool and comfortable throughout the night. The peace of mind knowing that I have reliable power with a fuel source that’s cleaner and easier to store is invaluable. This generator has truly enhanced my home’s preparedness, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!
