Setup: Easy to attach wheels and feet. Read the instructions...you will learn a lot, especially if you are a first time generator user! Connection: You will need to provide the power cord...regardless of hookup (direct to/from indoor appliances, or to an outdoor connection). An important element, but very simple. Use: I love the remote start feature...this and the dual-fuel option were the two key selling points for me. The handle extends to provide easy movement to/from your connection point...and while the unit is heavy, when on wheels it feels very light. Maintenance: Access is simple...and we have only used it for one season so I have not yet done any maintenance.

I bought the generator and am thrilled with the features, along with the fact that it can be run on gas or propane. Handle and wheels makes it convenient for a female to get it in position for use. Electric start is also one of the best ever features! I'm ready for hurricane season!

I don't know why I waited so long to purchase a generator. I work in healthcare and usually spend hurricanes at the hospital. We are not usually out of power for too long because we are on the same grid as the fire department, but one of the last big one left us without power for almost a week. My 80yr old mother lives with me and no longer can be left alone for long periods of time. Our house is only about 950 sq ft so I am having a connection put to the house so I can run the a/c, refrigerator, tv, water pump since we have well water and some lights. It is just her and I and the animals and I was able to get it out of the box and put the wheels on, put the oil in and the fuel. It started up with the first push of the start and runs great. The original delivery time was going to be like a month but it was delivered within a week which was wonderful. I am very happy with my purchase and very glad my mom and I will not be left without some amenities, especially with how hot Florida has been this year like a lot of other places.

This generator powers my entire 2,700 square foot house! I had the generator connected to my panel using a 50 amp transfer switch and it worked great....lights, refrigerator, HVAC, wifi....everything! I used propane too which is rated lower then gasoline, but it powered it all! Very happy with my purchase.

This is a great dual fuel generator with all the features you can need with remote start, two plug transfer switch, and more. The included manual that explains how to change bonded neutral is good for those that know what that is. All at decent price.

We chose to purchase the Westinghouse WGen 9500DF mainly due to it having the remote push-button start and being a dual-fuel generator. After receiving the unit, we got it all set up and tested it out. It fired right up, just as we had anticipated. So far, we are pleased that it has passed this initial test. It is our hope that when we need it for an emergency it will continue to meet our expectations.

My neighbor has this exact model. He used his for 6 straight days during a recent weather related power outage. He’s used it a few times before that over the last 2 years for short outages. He’s never had an issue with his. It’s been very dependable. Based on his outstanding experience I was motivated to purchase this same model for my home.

I bought this a few days ago and I am pleased with the purchase. This particular generator was recommended by a few people I talked too. I also had an electrician install an inlet box so I could connect it straight to the breaker. Definitely feel prepared for any future power outage.

I originally bought a Champion 12,500/15,000 as a backup to power my home in case of an outage. I discovered that my house is pretty energy efficient as it would run my entire house including A/C, oven, stove, dryer, washer, lights, TV, everything simultaneously. I was ecstatic…until I ran a fuel efficiency test. With a 2,000 W load, it ran for 1 hour 15 minutes on one gallon of gas. As I thought about what an outage would be like, I didn’t like the thought of burning through 20 gallons of fuel every 24 hours (and that’s only with a minimal load). That’s 4 gas cans, and gas can be hard to find as I discovered during the winter storms that occurred In February 2021. The Wgen9500DF offers a ton of features that the Champion didn’t offer. Most importantly, it’s fuel efficiency is unrivaled in the open frame category. That same 2,000 W load should run for 2 hours 45 minutes on the same one gallon of gas. On top of that, you get one touch auto-choke start (champion has manual choke with starter switch), Remote start, dual fuel, a fuel gauge, and a considerably smaller and lighter package. As a plus, this generator arrived undamaged and the battery connection was much simpler to make than it was on the Champion generator. The only 2 things I’m sacrificing are 2,000W less of running/starting watts and the digital load meter. I’m mostly bummed about the lack of load metering but during the Champion testing, normal house was under 30% load so I know this generator has plenty of power to do what I need it to. Setup was fairly simple and moving it to the back yard was much easier than the 300+ lb Champion was. It fired up on the 2nd try and ran smoothly. I still need to hook it up to my 50A transfer switch and break it in, but given the thousands of highly positive reviews this unit has received, I’m confident it will perform flawlessly.

My husband bought a used generator from a friend. As hurricane Milton approached, he found that it didn't work. Our friend lent us another one, but I wanted a new one. We luckily didn't need it for the hurricane, but I now have peace of mind that we have a new working generator!
