Power Options Now!

We purchased this generator to protect us during California fire season. At least we can keep our refrigerator, air filters, and Wifi running during outages. Easy to start and hook up. Running propane, never have to worry about gasoline aging or damaging engine while in storage.

Quality built!

I bought this recently for backup when our power goes out. I compared everything out there. There was one other unit that was known as a top brand. All my comparisons left the Westinghouse as the leader, the comparisons were very close so the deciding factor since I knew it was top quality was the cost. The Westinghouse was several thousand dollars less at the same quality. Our power went out shortly after I got it, it worked beautifully. Easy to set up and use. I ran it on propane and gas, easy to switch. Flat out a quality product!

Easy start

Easily understood directions for unpacking and preparation for use. Started first time with the electric start button. My only issue is the 50 amp extension cord I'm using to connect to house electrical system has a right angle plug into generator and due to the size of the cord has a slight interference with the unit's wheel.

Great Generator

I recently purchased my WGen9500DF generator. Power outages are common in my area and I needed something to help maintain our home needs. Everything has been very easy from installing the wheels to first start up. It is everything I need for my home, and would recommend this product to anyone looking for a backup power source.

Exactly what I needed

Bought this generator to power up a mother-in-law apartment that is now our mud room / pantry. We live in the south and it's common to get the power knocked out by hurricanes. This part of the house has it's separate water heater / shower. It was perfect to make a shelter-in-place with it's own generator. I wired in a exterior transfer switch / connector and this generator worked perfectly for the job.

Great unit and reasonably priced

All things considered, this is a fantastic unit for the price point. I've researched a ton of generators at this and similar power ratings, and around this price point. This thing starts smooth and runs smooth, handling power draw right up to its limits. This is a larger unit, but I'm fine with that considering how much it can handle power wise. Despite its size it has comfortable handles and can be moved around well. The remote start works well, although I can see limited scenarios when I'd need it so it wasn't a must have. This unit is louder than similar ones at the same size from other manufacturers, but at considerably less cos. I also have this for storms and disasters so it doesn't really bother me since I don't run it often. It also has a built in battery trickle charger which most other brands do not have, so you'd have to factor in the cost of an additional battery tender. Finally, what sold me on this unit was the dual fuel option. It gives me a second option in case I run out of gas or if the supply becomes scarce for some reason. We are in the country with a massive propane tank so I can always switch to that, even if the chance of needing it is remote. It was worth the slight increase in cost in my opinion and what pushed me to buy this unit and upgrade to this unit after a couple of years research from my older (smaller) one. I think this is the perfect balance of "major necessities" backup power, size, features, etc. for a very reasonable price. The next model size up is a beast and way overkill for most emergency backup situations.

Very versatile

I bought this a few weeks ago to replace an old portable generator. It was a breeze to put together (about 5 minutes without reading the instructions). It has enough power to run my whole house including my heat pump. It is light enough to move around to different areas.

Westinghouse generator

Picked this up last week. Started first time and ran good. Got the dual fuel so I don't have to worry about about has getting old. Like that it has both 50amp and 30 amp plugs. Plugs are a bit tight takes a bit of effort to connect the first few times.

Versatility

I purchased this mostly for emergency purposes and the rare camping trip. Fortunately, there have been no emergencies to review its performance over hours or days. I found the documentation to be very thorough. Setup was easy and instructions for operations easy to follow. I purchased a dual fuel model since I purchased it for emergency purposes. As such, fuel needs to be stored. Since gasoline has a shelf life, even treated, its nice to have the option to run on propane. Not only does propane store indefinitely, but it is safer as well. I also liked the convenience of the remote start. I did my research and read many reviews and this one came highly rated. I will try and return to update my review when I get a chance to use for an extended period of time. But I have no doubt this will perform to my expectations.
