Easy start and switch between fuel types.

The pull, button and remote start all very easy to use. I like that if you are finished with it for the day, you can stop without going back out to the generator. Remote has a good distance. Change over from propane to gas is very easy; it runs a little rough as it makes the switch, but in a few seconds it goes back to smooth operation. Great features for the investment; it is a bit heavy if you are looking to load it into a truck, definitely a 2 man job. But if using a trailer and ramp, not too bad.

Great Product

Recently purchased a portable home generator and was very happy with my selection of the WGen9500DF. It was very easy to understand and the duel fuel type is perfect for my needs. I was able to get the generator up and running in 20 minutes from the removal from the box. This should allow me to run most of the necessary items in my house should we loose power. The unit was very quiet compared to other generators I have used. I hope that I will not have a need for it soon, but I feel better knowing that when the time comes I will have the means to keep my home running.

So far very nice for the price

This portable generator arrived in good condition. It was easy to set up to run. The instructions were pretty clear. I did not have any issues with them. The unit is pretty heavy but once the wheels are installed it is easy to move around. I fired it up for the first time with out any issue. I used the included remote while standing next to the generator. It attempted to start initially but didn't and and then tried again on it's own and fired right up. I believe that it normal since there was no propane in the system. I did as mentioned run it on propane. I'll add my experience when I use gas. While it was running, I connected and used a corded electric chain saw with no problems. I'll update this review in a few months.

Will Power my Entire Home

I started looking for a generator after a12 hour power failure that came close to ruining all of the food in my refrigerator. I thought anything that could produce enough power for just a few essential items would be valuable to have on hand in case a similar situation occurred. After some searching on the web I was surprised to find the WGen9500DF which is robust enough to power my entire home for a very reasonable price. Although I hope to never have to use it, it's comforting to know I have it ready for action.

Powerful dual fuel generator

We needed a generator to power our well pump when the electricity goes out. I’ve been a fan of Westinghouse since around 2010 when I bought one of their tv’s on Black Friday. So it was an easy choice. I am pleased with this generator, it comes with a remote starter and it’s just an attractive piece of equipment to look at. It powers our well pump, refrigerators, air conditioner, tv’s, and lights with no issue. I’m very pleased with my purchase and will keep purchasing Westinghouse products in the future

Best features for the money!

I wanted a duel fuel generator that could be used for multiple applications: Home Power back-up, RV power, Job site power. I found the WGen9500DF on line, and after hours of research believe it provides the best features for the money. In the last Hurricane, it was difficult to get gasoline and so we could only run our generator half of the time.... Having the LP fuel source will allow us to store/stockpile more fuel and be able to run the unit 24/7. Having all 3 plug styles is also great for all the applications we plan to use it for. The big bonus is electric start and a wireless key fob! Looking forward to many years of useful life out of this unit!

Very Nice Generator

Just receive my WGen9500DF generator. Very easy to set up. Very clear instructions. Everything worked right off the bat. Ran a test by running an air compressor. I plan to run my house off this at our next power outage once I have a transfer switch installed. When I was researching this generator I was looking for generators made in the US. Everywhere I checked said they were made in Westinghouse’s Columbus, Ohio facility. But when I went to register it on their website I noticed the words “Made in China” under the serial number on the generator. It’s a great generator but I’m disappointed that it’s made in China. I really wanted to support our US manufacturing workers.

Every Option You Need

Just purchased a month ago and with the 50 amp output, I ran a cord directly to fuse panel in house and this thing will run 80% of my house without having to run extension cords. Love the features, the diplay and onboard battery charger. So far NO COMPLAINTS

The best I've had

I bought this a few months ago but haven't used it until the recent ice storm. My power was out for nine days. This thing is a work horse. It powered my whole house. The only thing I didn't run was my heat pump. I have a woodstove for heat. It ran all lights, tvs, computers, kitchen stove and even the oven, Electric water heater and water pump.I was totally surprised at how powerful it is. The remote start is awesome too. Its very good on gas. On a lite load it lasted almost twelve hours on a tank. It is relatively quiet compared to my old one.I am beyond satisfied with it. Money well spent.

Quick delivery

Delivered sooner than was anticipated. Instructions were simple and easy to understand. Truthfully, I am hoping I will not have to use it for power outage. However, we will now be set if we lose power on the home. Plus when spring comes we will use for the power tools to build the greenhouse.
