I bought this generator to replace a 20-year-old one. How far generators have come. Having the battery starter and the ability to switch between gasoline and propane really will be helpful during an extended outage. So far everything has worked as advertised.

I purchased this generator based on the robust power output and the full feature set it has to offer. It features remote electric start, dual fuel capability, and a built in interface for an optional automatic transfer switch (switch sold separately). I am pleased with my purchase.

We have never had a generator and bought this one to power our critical appliances and well pump. The instructions were easy, it has plenty of power, and it is easy to operate. We have not had a power outage to test it out yet but can update this when we do.

Have heard great things about this Westinghouse Wgen9500 series of generators; and so far this appears to be true, but I am only still in the early "break-in" phase....and it has not been put to the test. Can not say the same about the choice of shipping companies; as delivery was several days after stated date; and the item had obviously been mishandled, and even stood on end; as the bottle of oil had been crushed with over half leaking out all over the contents in the box in that end.....not across the bottom of the box where you would expect it to be if sitting on the base as it should be.

This is my second Westinghouse gen. I needed one that could handle 250 Volts for high demand 50 amp motors (RV fifth wheel AC; 3 hp car lift electric motors , etc). It’s not as quiet as 120 V reg generators but not bad. Make sure you look at more than the Watts when buying a Gen ….consider the Volts needed to operate items. My 120 V / 4500 watt gen would not operate an AC that only needed about 2,500 watts / but 250 Volts.

My wife has COPD and is on O2 24/7. Any power outage is problematic for us. I am 87 years old and can no longer use our current generator which has a pull start. This unit was suggested by a friend and we are very pleased with it's construction and how compact it is. Very surprised at the sound level which is much less than I expected. Also like the fact that it is dual fuel.

Just bought this because of all the features it has on it. Especially the electric and remote start. Generator came highly recommended, which is another reason I bought it. Have not had to use it yet, but being in Florida, tropical storms and hurricanes, always good to be prepared.

Everything is metal, the fuel tank, the control panels, and of course, the frame is all made out of metal. I did extensive research on portable generators and found that the Westinghouse WGen9500DF offered the best value and power output. I wanted the Dual Fuel option because it's easier to store propane long-term rather than gasoline. It provides me options for using this generator mainly when the power goes out. I don't have to worry about keeping my fuel fresh. Aside from the obvious high power capacity of the generator, little touches like having enough clearance to slide an oil pan under the drain plug are huge. Plus, the handle is permanently attached and not an afterthought. It pivots up for easy maneuvering and folds down for storage when not in use. This generator has ample power to run my entire house at less than 50% capacity. That was one of the main selling points was the $'s / generated watt was superior to the others I looked at.

Purchased this to update my current generator and better prepare any future power issues. The over all design is nice and convent too easy to use. The hand free key fob makes use for my wife easier along with the push button start/stop. I went with the dual fuel since gas is hard to come buy during a power outage from a storm.

I bought this last Dec. and just had the interlock device put in the house last month. Yesterday I got to use it for the first time when a squirrel climbed up the electric pole near my house and tripped the breaker fuse on the electrical transformer, thus knocking out our electricity and terminating the squirrel.Electric company said lead time to fix could be 3 hours.It was 40 degrees out so I fired up the generator.connected to power cord and our house had Rlectricity till the repairman came and put the transformer fuse back in. have the Wgen9500DF and it powers the whole house.
