Great product

Bought this generator for emergency full home power. Received in excellent condition. Assembly was a breeze with easy to read directions. Added oil and fuel. Started and ran smooth on very first attempt. Waiting for my GenerLink install. Can't wait to test it out!

Great Generator, great price

Bought this a week ago and the rain finally quit to try it out. Starts great, runs great and runs my whole house when I need it know, and probably will. Where I am the main power goes out on a regular basis, but now I won’t have to worry with my new generator!

Starts and runs great!

After adding oil to prep, the generator started on the first push of the button. It continued to start and run easily during the 5+ hour break-in period. The User Manual is also much better than what I have seen from other generators. I am very happy with the purchase.

Easy assembly, easy start

We are totally solar-“off grid”. After several stormy or overcast days we need to go to the generator. Our last generator was the best one from the tool store known for cheap tools. It lasted a couple of years and died when we needed it the most. I took more time researching this purchase. I like that it is dual fuel. I ran a line from my large propane tank so I don’t have to have cans of gasoline around. It took 5 minutes from the box to ready to start. It has plenty of power to run our home, barn, water pump, etc., it is half as loud as the previous one, and with the “fob” starter, my wife can start it without having to pull a chord!

No more worries!

We recently moved to a rural area and have been experiencing power outages on a fairly regular basis. They generally don't last more than a couple hours or so, but during below zero temps even a couple hours is a concern. Having a generator became a priority, and after some research the 9500 seemed a no-brainer. Fortunately the previous owner had wired for a generator, so all we had to do was plug it in. Within a couple weeks of installation the power went down, and mere minutes later we were back up and all was well. It's a great feeling knowing that if, for whatever reason, we lose power that we'll have it back on in moments and this 9500 will provide as much power as we need without a problem. One note: If it's cold out you'll have to manually move the chock to its fully closed position. It wasn't that cold (probably well above freezing) the first time I hooked it up for a test, and I assumed, since it was relatively mild out, that the automatic choke would set itself to start the engine. I made several attempts to start the generator without success and then remember a note about setting the chock manually. I set it, and the generator fired immediately. I seriously doubt one could do better than this generator in its class, especially for the price. We couldn't be happier with it.

Sweet Generator

My wife and I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a generator, as we have gone through prolonged power outages the past few years. After a great deal of research, we decided on the Westinghouse WGen9500DF. It has all the power we would need and also has outstanding features. The remote start is a great addition that my wife especially likes. This model also had outstanding reviews from other users. The wheels are large and were easy to put on. It is a bit heavy, but the large wheels and transport handle make it easy to move from one location to another. Of course, we hope we never need to use it, but we are glad for the peace of mind in case we do.

Always Starts and More Power than I Need

I purchased the WGen9500DF generator for my cottage property in August 2022. I've got this hooked up directly to the BBQ propane quick connect (home is heated with propane). I'm using this with a manual transfer switch which supports all the essential circuits including Well Pump, Hot Water Tank, Furnace Fan, Microwave Oven, Television, Lights and Receptacles for more than 50% of the home. In the past whenever there was a power outage, our entire cottage weekend is spoiled and we had to pack-up. We're still waiting for the next power outage but we've been testing the generator on a regular basis and it never fails to start up. I especially like the remote control. Great generator, I would highly recommend it.

We will see

Purchased, it arrived early. We attempted to start it with gas, it wouldn’t! So we tried propane, that worked! BUT, it wouldn’t even run a simple box fan!!!! Disappointed to say the least! We called, left a message, got a case #, and are still waiting

So far, So good

Ordered this generator after a major Northeast storm that knocked out power for a few days before Christmas. Arrived after power was restored, so I have not gotten to fully try it out. Assembly was easy. Seems well made. Heavier than you might expect. I did need more than the 1 quart of 4-stroke, 10W30 oil that was included to reach the fill on the dipstick. Started easily. I've spoken to an electrician about installing a manual transfer switch, and they feel I will be able to power my whole house with this generator. (Purchased to power refrigerator, chest freezer, sump pump, furnace and water/well pump.) My only concern is that the owner's manual says not to expose to snow and/or rain. Since I bought to use when we loose power due to weather, I'll need to consult electrician as to how to achieve this. Looking forward to getting this set-up and ready to go.

Solid Power

The WGEN9500DF is a solidly built generator. I chose Westinghouse because they have a reputation of being well-built and I am glad I did. Living in Florida, you really need to have reliable emergency power and this generator fits that description! Check it out/
