Very good unit

After planning to do a whole house backup with Generac only to find total cost would be close to 20K! My licensed electrician uncle told me about a more cost effective way to getting same power for less. I found this unit to be very popular for DIY backup for less on YouTube. I'm very pleased with its power capabilities and the price was very reasonable.

Plenty of power

I've been very pleased with this generator. It's definitely a big generator but it's easy to maneuver for how big it is. and also for the size it's pretty quiet. Very easy to assemble. The remote start and dual fuel features are a great plus also. It took about a month to be delivered but I guess that's to be expected.

WGen9500DF

Just set up my generator from Lowe's, the wheels were somewhat easy to install, but you need two people. We found that laying it on its side helped but the cotter pins were a little difficult. Battery charged quickly. I had it ready for a storm but we didn't loose power. The controls and manual are easy to follow. Waiting for an electrician to connect it to my circuit breakers, he said the key fob start will be a great feature.

Excited to power up!

Just received my Wgen9500. It's a beautiful machine. It was delivered in only a couple weeks and arrived in perfect condition. This will give me peace of mind in keeping my well pumping and water system pressurized during our frequent power outages. A great buy for the price!

Dual fuel and remote start, Great feature

I purchased the WGen9500DF September of 2020 and has been great starting and running when doing the normal maintenance. I purchased the generator to handle power outages and am very confident it will not disappoint me. Highly recommend this Westinghouse generator.

Very reliable and feature rich!

I had been searching for a generator for a long time and was not sure what manufacturer to go with. A friend recommended the WGen9500Dfc as he purchased one a year ago and is 100% satisfied. I received mine in July 2023 but only installed it in October 2023. The unit starts like a charm and provides nice, clean power to my panel. I highly recommend this product!

Wonderful

Some assembly was required (just putting on the wheels and feet). Assembly was really easy and took less than 10 minutes. I then started it on gasoline using the remote and it started immediately. Ran smooth with no apparent problems. Stopped the generator and hooked up a propane tank, switched from gasoline to propane and started it on propane using the remote control. I love it! I can't believe I am getting this much generator for the price.

The right fit for my livestock operation!

Opened the box yesterday, added the oil, put in some gas, hit the start button and it ran just like it’s supposed to run! Always appreciate when motors start well! My electrician will be out next week to fully hook up and connect to my livestock buildings. So far I really like what I’m seeing, the Kw rating is just right for my farm needs and the 50 watt outlet is also the needed size. So far so good, the final test is set for next week with the electrician, and I have confidence in what I’m seeing!

Good value, some quirks

Overall nice product that I've been quite happy with. Did have some trouble getting the generator to start the first time. I found that the amount of oil included in the bottle that came with the generator was not enough. Had to put and buy some more to top off the oil before the generator would run. Unit definitely requires some upkeep, and if you're from a younger generation like me that may be a bit daunting if unfamiliar with combustion engine mechanics.

Excellent generator and well worth the wait.

So I finally was able to pick up my new WGen9500df after months of debating and waiting for them to come back in stock everywhere. It was definitely worth the wait, as I'm extremely pleased with the generator. The power, features and capability cannot be beat at this price point. It's very well built and packed with everything you need in a generator. I have a bigger house out in the woods and frequently lose powerm I also have a big well pump and I wanted a generator with a 50 amp plug. That way I could power everything in my house without worry about tripping the breaker on a smaller unit, which is what I had prior. I'm an electrician and added a breaker panel interlock and reliance generator inlet box on the outside of my house. I plugged in the generator and it powered EVERYTHING in my house without breaking a sweat. Obviously not the electric range or dryer, but literally everything else I've been very happy with it so far and highly recommend it!
