pleased with this generator

I have purchased a lot of generators in the past and i am impressed with the quality and engineering that went into this unit. The generator came with a 1.1 quart of oil,enough to fill crank case to the low mark on the dip stick. had to add another 3 ozs. Started quick on gas on first try and also the same for propane. put a 4500 watt load and no drop in voltage.I will need this Gen for hurricane season. Highly recommend this generator.

Easy to use

We bought this generator in Nov. to prepare for the winter. When the first snow hit the area this week, the power was out during the busy work day. The generator was easy to be pulled out to use. We could then continue to work at home. The heater, the wifi, the fridge, all ran the same. The electric starter is convenient and the remote control is a plus. The noise level is not as high as we expected. We are glad we made the investment.

This is a beast!

I bought this generator after losing power after christmas. This runs so well, and powers up the whole house with no issue. It's powered my a 60lbs propane tank, so it runs super clean, no issue with carburetor!! I Plan on setting up a little enclosure, just to keep it running a few times a month. Its so easy with remote and it starts right away!

Great Generator So far!

I don't have a lot of hours on this generator--I have just tested it and used it minimally for the break in process. It appears to be well built and easy to start--with both the electric and pull cord. It is noisy as expected, but not as bad as others I've seen that were smaller.

GREAT FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE

This generator took about 45 minutes to set up. Great easy start, runs equally well on gasoline and propane. More quiet than our old Briggs & Stratton generator. We have been able to run one of our central air units as will as all of the required lights on our 3700 sq ft home, 2 refrigerators, hot water heater a couple of IMac computers, Internet, 2 TVs. Were in Central Florida getting ready for hurricane season. Great purchase. S. Polk

Great backup home generator!

I bought this for a backup for my home which loses power too often. It is powerful enough for its size and has some nice features like the wheels and handles that don't always come with other generators, as well as the remote start. The fact that it runs on dual fuel is also a plus if you run out of gas you can switch over without missing a beat.

Great Product

The generator arrived without incident and the delivery agent placed it in my garage as requested. A suggestion for the instructions... when unpacking it is helpful to slit the box at all 4 corners and that allows a cardboard cushion for tipping the generator on end to install the 2 feet and the wheels. This save wrestling with the weight of it. The assembly including adding oil went well. Connecting the battery was as simple as placing the connector together. The startup worked perfectly and the remote setup worked as documented. Connecting a 50 amp power cable to the generator was a bit of a tussel given the diameter and close clearance between the socket and the wheel but everything came together and functioned perfectly. The next step will be a load test to determine exactly which household circuits I can energize refrigerator, water heater, a/c units etc and the associated trade offs. Overall I am pleased with my purchase and the installation. The generator could be a little quieter but for the price we will put up with the noise... can't speak for the neighbors of course. I hope this is an insurance policy against having a hurricane show up on our doorstep.

Wonderful value and features!

We bought this product after a really bad storm knocked us without power for 3 days for the second time this year. It was easy to start with the remote and we have had zero issues. We will be adding a 50amp converter to electrical box so we can run the entire house.

Good Features, Nicely Made

Did a lot of research before purchasing a generator and ended up going with the Westinghouse Wgen9500DF because of the features it offered. I like the option do run propane and the electric start. Generator arrived in good condition and no damage. Assembled the generator and it started right up on the first try. Seems to be a good generator hopefully it last many many years.

Awesome generator

I bought this generator last month after we suffered through a snowstorm and as a result we were without power for a week. The machine is well made and very capable of running almost everything in my home (4,000 sq ft). Of course it cannot run all 240 but it will run A/C with the other circuits. We had an electrician wire a 50Amp plug to the electrical panel. We tested the generator using the 50Amp outlet and it worked perfectly. We had power on all circuits (240 were off). We turned on the A/C breaker and power stayed on. The true test will come when the next storm hits us and we’re out of power for several days. But I think we will be okay with this generator but time will tell. I rated it 4 star only because it has not been put through a real world test.
