So easy!

I bought this for an upcoming storm. I am an old 70 year old woman that is unable to start a pull start generator. This starts with a push button or key fob and works like a charm! It's a little difficult for me to wheel it around but once I get it set into a shelter of some sort, it will be perfect. I'm so happy with my purchase!

works flawlessly and is very quiet

I bought the product and after and I had to use it for 28 hours almost immediately. This is the generator I've always wanted, this is what I saw after it's been running all this time. Very economical and quiet. I recommend it to anyone who needs a generator

This is my second WGen9500DF

This purchase is my second 9500DF. I purchased my first one a year ago and could not be more pleased. I run it on Propane. My neighbor had purchased another brand of the same size generator and was very unhappy with it. It would never start. After he saw how reliably the 9500DF started he sold his and purchased a 9500DF.

Wonderful Machine

The generator started right up out of the box with some added oil and gasoline of course! I love the auto choke feature and the ability for remote start. I appreciate the monitor/gauge to display power output, this will be very useful. So far it has started every time; this is the most important "feature" for a generator. I am very impressed with the quality of all of the piece, components, and features on this generator.

Did not start

I bought this just a couple of months ago. On first start in a power outage it failed to turn over, which is a hard first impression to overcome. Gas line was open, tank was full, battery was full strength. In short, I followed the manual. Hopefully Westinghouse will make this right and stand behind their product, but until then, it's a hard Do Not Recommend.

Checks all the boxes!

The WGen9500DF is exactly what we needed during an extended power outage. Easy to assemble, quick start and super easy to use. This powered our entire house and the best part was that it isn’t too loud at all! I’d recommend this generator 10/10 times and can say it’s been one of the best purchases we’ve made as home owners.

Kept my food from spoiling

Our power went out and I had no generator, but my son in law did. He brought over a duel fuel 9500w and using propane, we started it and ran cords to my refrigerator and freezer. I saved me from throwing out all my perishables. our power was out for 4 days and this thing didn't;t skip a beat. this convinced me to buy my own and I'm in the process of hiring an electrician to do a hook up to my breaker box with a plug on it to connect it to my generator.

Fast set up and simple to use

We bought this for hurricane season and had everything set up to connect directly to the house. The first big storm knocked our power out but we were up and running again in minutes. No more yanking on a cord til my arms give out, just a simple press of a button and the whole house was all set.

All that I expected and more

I bought this generator in the aftermath of Hurricane Eta. It performed spectacularly, enabling us to return to normalcy. It was reliable, efficient, and much quieter than my previous generators. I have already recommended it to my friends and family. Thanks, Westinghouse!

One of the best units available

Gave my old unit to my daughter and decided to get what I really wanted, a dual fuel model. Read the reviews on the internet and concluded this was exactly what I was looking for. The power, ease of use, features and dependability are all top notch. Having extras like remote start, a built in hour meter/voltage meter/frequency meter are icing on the cake. Well packaged and everything included so it's ready to unbox and break in. The break in procedure is a little vague in the owners manual so I used the procedure that has served me well with my other small engines (30 minutes with no load then 1 hour at half load followed by an oil change). Did another 2 hours at half load and another oil change and then switched to full synthetic and the rings are seated and it's ready to go. It is loud and heavy but that's the price you pay for such a big unit.
