We live in rural area where power goes down often. We waited to start this until we had switch installed by electrician to be able to do so safely. Once done this generator, on propane would run our fridge, our freezer and 2 electric heat panels. I am impressed and delighted and know if we need it. We are going to be warm and safe.

What a great product. Simple to operate, my daughter who is small can pull start it, the auto choke release is a great touch. First time I started it I filled it with fuel, turned the fuel shutoff on. Choked it and then pulled the recoil start 3 times to prime it and move some oil around. I turn the switch to ON, pulled the start rope again and it started right up. Didn't have to pull hard and fast, just a smooth pull. Then My daughter wanted to try starting it. I shut it off, turned it to on with no choke and she started it with no problem. We went over operating instructions so she felt sure of herself. (power always goes out when I'm not home) 2 days later the power company shut us down because of high winds. She rolled it out and put it on the pad by herself, started it and had everything running and powered up when I got home. BTW the generator out weighs her by 175lbs. So here is the pros & cons because that's what you are here for right. PROS: User Manual is complete - Assembly- is easy, duel fuel-is a plus, Electric start & remote start-perfect . Fold away handle. low noise level. gauges/meters. outlet covers. Under a load it barely makes a different sound. It is a great generator, the perfect addition to our home because of our power company turning off our power 4 to 5 times a month, (under windy conditions) Now the CONS, (which BTW I really am nitpicking here) Fuel tank could be bigger, some of the nuts that the feet screw into were not aligned and it made assembly a little difficult. That's it, all I can complain about. SO, would I recommend it, YES. Maybe not a generator you would want to load into the bed of a truck everyday, but if you did it would power every tool you have. I tested it with my wire feed welder and it never missed a beat. One last thing, My next door buddies gen wouldn't start so we ran cords over the wall. and this is what we powered: 4 fridges, 2 freezers, 3 lamps, 2 computers, Modems, Routers and my central heater, and a microwave oven a few times. The Generator never missed a beat. I am very happy with your product Westinghouse!

I've been in the market for a new generator for some time and after conducting multiple internet searches and scouring through hundreds of reviews, I found this one to be the best one for what I needed and for a really great price. Living in Florida, having a generator is a must. Finding one that has a large enough power output to run our house is also a must. Our previous Honda 7500 watt generator had finally given up the ghost and it was becoming way too difficult to start, especially as I'm getting older. The push button and remote start/stop features of this model really appealed to me. With its 30 foot range, I can start it and stop it at the end of the evening from the comfort of inside my home and not have to go out into the elements. Another aspect that really appealed to me was the dual fuel capability. For those who've been in or around a disaster area, you know that gasoline quickly becomes a hot commodity and waiting in lines for fuel is always nerve-wracking to say the least. With this dual fuel model, I can have multiple propane tanks sitting on standby and I don't have to worry about the gas going bad over time. This model is 2000 watts larger than my former generator yet it is dimensionally smaller and much lighter than my previous generator which is another great convenience for storage in our outdoor shed and moving it to our house receptacle. I would highly recommend this model to anyone looking for a compact, high-power-output generator.

As previously stated in the section labeled “review title,” I truly believe this is a wonderful generator. My in-laws got us this generator for our house in case the power goes out and the remote start is very helpful during storms! We’re working on hardwiring it to our house. It holds a large amount of gasoline so it lasts a while and we can run virtually our entire house off the generator when bad weather hits. Lovely product!!

After doing some research for an upgraded generator I purchased the WGen9500DF. I had a older 8K generator and we were looking for upgraded power after the last storm to ensure we can still use the stove and elec. water heater (as well as TVs, lights, etc) the next time. We upgraded the generator hook to 50AMP and wanted a generator to match. This is able to power our well pump, water heater, forced air oil furnace, elec stove top, and any light/TV in the house w/o breaking a sweat. It was delivered on time and was able to set it up in about 30 minutes. Started easily and ran w/o issue. FYI...Dont forget the small 'on switch' for the gas flow under the left side of the gas tank!

I bought this generator during a period when we were having multiple blackouts. I am so happy I purchased this product not only because it provided our home with ample power during the outages, but it was so easy to move and operate. In addition, the manual was very helpful and thorough.

My wife and I decided it was time to purchase a generator because of the frequent power outages after storms in Northern California. It is becoming common to lose power for 2-5 days after each storm event. This was starting to become a real hassle and headache, not to mention the loss of food in the refrigerators and freezers. With this generator, we should be able to run most of the appliances, lights, and furnace until the power is restored. The generator came almost ready to power up. All I needed to do was install the wheels and the front mounting feet. All super easy and the tools were included. Next, I need to add the oil, which was also included, then I connected the battery terminals and fired her up. The electric start made it super simple to start, and my wife really appreciated not having to pull the starting cord. We ran it on propane during the start up period, which we did for five hours, because we didn't want it sitting for extended periods of time with gasoline in the tank. We also changed the oil twice during the start up period just to make sure we kept the oil clean during this period. Hopefully we will never need to use it, but it feels great knowing that we have a backup power source in case of emergencies. That piece of mind is worth the cost of the generator!

Just received this as a gift for the holidays but haven't had a chance to use it. I plan on setting it up as a backup generator for when the power goes out but I also like that it's not a permanent generator and can be moved to another location for use.

I was so impressed with all the features offered after comparing it to the many brands on the market that it was an easy decision to make regarding the purchase of the Westinghouse portable generator. I look forward to many long years of reliability with my new portable generator.

We bought this product last month. Generator arrived in pristine condition. Setup was a breeze. Instructions were broken down well and illustrated even better. Key FOB was pre paired which is great. Generator started right up and ran beautifully for the break in period. Also coming with a battery tender was a nice surprise to us. Have had 0 issues unlike another brand we had previously used that would vibrate off any and all bolts.
