Good value

I am well aware of the longevity of Westinghouse as a company, so yes I am getting old. I purchased this generator for emergency power outages and after extensive review of many competitors feel this generator is a great value considering all the included features. I haven’t even unpacked the generator yet until I receive the high altitude kit, however based on many positive reviews I feel this product will outlast me! I opted for the version without the CO2 sensor as this generator will be far away from any occupied structures but didn’t want to deal with CO2 issues if I use some form of sound dampening thereby shutting down the generator. I have two other generators from other reputable companies one of which I have owned for 12 years and only been able to run for 4 hours! I plan on using propane in this generator as our power outages are usually short lived and infrequent thanks to French Broad Electric, but I hate ethanol blends and only use non-ethanol fuel. I like the dual fuel option.

Many safety features!

Purchased this generator about 3-weeks ago and started assembly today. Living in Louisiana (hurricane alley) requires a reliable generator. This unit has many safety features, a modern control panel, and is dual fuel (gasoline and propane). Looked at many generators, but the Westinghouse had the best reviews on the net.

Easy to maneuver for a 200 lb generator

Assembly was a breeze and instructions are very clear. The WGen9500DFcc is well built and sturdy. I only have had a chance to do some break in time but it looks to be a very fine machine. The only negatives would be that the oil level does not indicate correctly, after putting the full 1.16 quart of oil supplied it read on the low line of the dipstick .The other problem is that the part numbers in the owners manual for high altitude propane kit don't seem to exist ?

Great Features

Just bought this because of all the features it has on it. Especially the electric and remote start. Generator came highly recommended, which is another reason I bought it. Have not had to use it yet, but being in Florida, tropical storms and hurricanes, always good to be prepared.

Great Generator

Very pleased with this generator. Runs our whole house including the A/C. Awesome, with just a flick of the transfer switch and we are home free. Goodbye hurricane outages. Live in Florida and after Ian, we will not be left in the dark again or lose our freezer food.

Can't wait to get it set up.

I purchased this power unit to deal with weather issues that knocked out my power for 4 days during Hurricane Helene. I Have not had a chance to put it to the test yet but it appears to be quite capable of handling my home requirements. The box it came in was a bit banged up when I received the shipment but after opening it appears to be unharmed. I really like the fact that I can used two different fuels and the electric starting will be a major plus. At my age I'm not able to pull start many things especially if it wants to be cranky. The key FOB is definitely a plus not having to go out in bad weather to start the generator. I will follow up with more review after the break-in period. I plan on wiring the unit in thru my exiting breaker box.

Well-designed unit.

Bought this generator a few weeks ago. Assembly was simple. I like many of the features of this unit. Have owned competitive models in the past. The starting system is very nicely designed. Expect to use this as a home back up and a mobile source of power around our farm for many years.

Great machine!

Just received the generator. Easy assembly and started perfect first time. The remote start is a great feature and very convenient for me and my elderly mother. Look forward to many years of confident use during Florida's hurricane seasons. I strongly recommend this product!
