Fantastic

I ordered the generator 1 week ago today. Today I received it. I put the wheels and front supports on, put oil in engine and connected the battery. I checked the whole machine over real good and never found anything wrong. I hook the propane tank to it and then got the key fob insinc with the generator and it started right up. I ran it for the 5 hour break in time the company recommends at less than half load. I did put a little extra load from time to time also. I let cool down for about 3 hours, started it back up hooked my air compressor to it, I ran a skill saw and a bench grinder all at the same time. I honestly believe this is going to be the generator I need to power my house when the power goes out. I would recommend this Westinghouse generator to anyone looking to buy a generator.

Great Home Back Up Generator

Unit was competitively priced, it arrived earlier than expected, it was packaged properly for transport. The assembly of the unit was very easy. The unit started on the first try. Extremely happy with the purchase. In these trying times I want my family to be safe in any storms or power outages. A dedicated unit has an issue and the service tech comes to you, if a portable has an issue you can take it to be serviced. JJW

Cost effective solution

Purchased as a backup when PG&E cuts power during storms. Hopefully it doesn't happen regularly. But wanted this portable backup available for the instances when it does happen. Just wish it was protected from rain so I don't have to cover it somehow in the event it rains when in use.

So far, so good, I think.

I just finished the break in period all on propane. Latter part of period I put a 1500 watt space heater on it and seemed to operate fine just as the heater would on house current. During shipment the bottle of oil must have leaked. Fortunately, the baggie that the bottle was in contained most of the leaked oil minimizing the mess. The metal handle stop pin up by the hinge fell out while I was doing the assembly. I put it back in place and tapped it back in with a hammer. No problem. I will test on gasoline and more of a load after I change the oil to full synthetic blend 10w-30w.

Perfect home generator, easy assembly

Received this generator as promised, looks great. Only took 45 min. to unpack and assemble, (wheels and front feet, add oil and fuel, plug in battery). It started right up with no issues. Ran on gas for a while then switched to propane while running with no issues, ran for a while then switched back, no issues. runs a little rough for only a second when switching between fuel sources but that is expected. Put a light load on it for break in, haven't ran whole house yet but expect it to work perfectly whenever power goes out again.

Great when Needed

I bought this a couple weeks ago after loosing power at home for 4 days and extreme low temperatures outside. We had intermittent power from the power company and rolling blackouts. With this generator now I can worry less about keeping the house above 50F or being able to provide light safely without candles all throughout the house.

Perfect for backup power during hurricane season

The WGen9500DF is exactly what I was looking for as backup power during hurricane season here in Florida. It was delivered to my home in excellent condition and I was very impressed how well it was packed. All that had to be done was to attach the wheels to the underside of the generator, which was easy to do. I really love that it can run on gasoline or propane gas so that I have options in case one isn't available after a hurricane. It's transfer switch ready and powerful enough to run everything necessary in my home when there's a loss of power from a storm. I like that it has a remote and is very easy to start. I'm so glad I purchased this. It will definitely give me peace of mind during hurricane season.

Easy to use outdoor gen set.

The 9500 dual fuel gen set arrived in excellent condition. The manual and set up papers were comprehensive, an enabled even the person with a limited mechanical knowledge to set up & run this machine. The Hz / volt meter/ Hr meter was a very useful feature. The addition of "key fob" remote starting was a novel feature for an outdoor gen set. Starts quick! an all around good-running & looking machine!

My Review for WGen9500DF

I could not be more pleased with this generator. Before purchase, I was concerned whether or not it would provide ample power for my 2 hp well pump. After I extended my propane line, my electrician was able to wire my breaker panel to accommodate my generator. I was very happy that, it was able to power my entire house, as well as my well pump. It really does the job. I would recommend that someone contemplating purchase, would view the excellent YouTube videos describing unpacking, installing wheels, adding oil etc. before contacting electrician. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.

Good quality, great features, easy setup

The WGEN9500DF generator is exactly what I was hoping for. I was impressed with the overall quality, looks and features this generator has to offer. The dual fuel option and electric/remote start made this purchase a no brainer, which allows my wife to start it without having to pull a starter cord. The 9500 to 12,500 peak watts it supplies is more than enough power to handle all the major items in my home. The initial setup was easy to follow in the instructions. I used a propane tank from the grill for the first startup instead of gasoline and it started on the first try with the remote starter. The generator was not as loud as I thought would be and it ran great for the time I had it running.
