Easy to Assemble / Easy to Operate

The item is heavy and I do recommend to have two people to work on assembly. The the process to add legs and wheels took about 10 min, it took me another 10 min to add oil and connect propane tank. I also charge battery for another 10 min, but it wasn't necessary - in 30 min I had my generator up in running. Also, I was pleasantly surprised how compact the item for the power its generate.

Easy Setup

I set this generator up out of the box in less than an hour. This includes installing the wheels and feet. Test run was successful using the remote key fob. I have not had to use it yet in an actual loss of power situation, but I am confident it will perform as advertised. I am pleased with the generator and so happy with it that this is the second one I have purchased. One for my home and on for my ranch.

AS EXPECTED

I just purchase this unit. It arrived in 10 days. Looks well built and with a sturdy frame. Set up was easy and started immediately. I am very pleased with this product. One thing that persuaded me to buy this unit was that it was made in the USA and has cast iron cylinder sleeves. Better built than the Chinese made units. Large size for the money.

Pair this with a Solar Generator!

I bought this to pair with my Solar Generator, and it is amazing. One hour of this POWERHORSE totally charges my solar generator, moreover, it runs the power-consuming items that my solar generator can't... I live off-the-grid and my freezer is never without power thanks to the Westinghouse/Solar Generator combo!

Perfect house backup generator

After the crazy freeze we had this past winter, we realized it was probably time to have a backup plan. We will be installing a transfer switch to hook it up to our home easily. Having the ability to use propane is great. Hoping to get a large propane tank so we'll be ready next time. This has a 50amp, 30, and and two 20amp circuits, so we should have plenty of power to keep the fridge and heaters going when we need to.

Easy assembly

I bought this about two months ago. Lol and just assembled it. It was not hard you just have to read and follow. If your by yourself and are much like me it can take you about an hour. That’s only because I’m not the best at reading and following directions. Two people will probably cut half of the time or less. Of course depends on whose helping. Either way it’s not difficult.

Great Purchase for the Money

Picked it up about a week ago and completed all the steps prior to and for running it. Started right up without issue. Simple operation. Ran it under load with issue. Voltages all checked out. This was done with a hand held meter as well as the built in generator meter. Easy assembly. Can't beat the price nor all of the positive reviews. This was my final choice when selecting between this gen and a Duromax brand of the equivalent size. The running time was far better before refueling. It was close between the two.

Excellent design with great features

This is my second Westinghouse product (my first was their pressure washer). I am very satisfied with both products. The WGen9500DF started up and was purring in no time. An added benefit I wasn’t expecting is that it runs quieter than the Generac it is replacing. The remote start feature and digital readout places this product ahead of competitive products. Besides the usual running time meter, the digital display provides voltage, frequency, and maintenance reminders. I researched just about every brand in the market and happy that I decided on the Westinghouse. Based on my recommendation, three of my friends just bought the same Westinghouse generator.

Plenty of Power

While I haven’t had this for very long, it has been great. Used to power a refrigerator. When fridge comes on, generator hardly notices. A little louder than I thought, but that’s okay. Plenty of outlets, transfer switch ready. In doing research on generators, this brand came up often. I do think it will give me years of service.
