Quick start remote controlled and dual fuel

This dual fuel generator runs on both gas and propane. Since I am a current propane gas user for other home appliances, this is an excellent choice for me. The remote control starter is perfect for an older user who cannot easily start a rope pulled starter, as my last generator had. The HP is much higher for this compact unit and will service all my needs in an emergency.

Easy to operate

Operational features are easy to use and having a remote device to start up the generator is a plus. The generator can be moved around easily with the wheels attached. Yes, there is noise, but not as loud as I anticipated. The one suggestion I would make is to specify the amount of oil to use. One quart was provided, but it required 1 1/2. The manual didn't indicate the amount.

Easy to assemble and start

Received on time with good instructions on assembly. Easy to assemble ( less than 1 hr). Started up first attempt. Good features including remote start via fob. Can be moved with some effort by one person which is reasonable for it's capabilities. .

Great start!!

Just purchased after a great deal of research. Took almost ten days to receive, but was in no hurry. Unboxing and addition of legs and wheels was easy by just tipping the unit on its side. Set up and start was easy using LP tank. Started right up. 50 amp plug and interlock are added tomorrow. Great start and I hope I don't need to use it in the near future.

Super nice portable generator

Purchased this mainly with a desire to have electric start. The also supplies a remote Key Fob for start and stop operations. Sweet. I learned with electric / remote start, the choke / run are set automatically and have 3 attempts. Although mine start right off every time, gas or propane. Battery and oil for break-in are supplied. Also, the generator has a charging port and Westinghouse supplies the power plug too. And basic hand tools. Although no wrench 19mm(?) is supplied for the tightening or remove all for the LPG connection to the generator. Speaking of that, gas or propane dual fuel. Both work fantastic and switching between the two while running is flawless. As I said, it will start with gas or propane too. The propane connection is supplied. While running, the transition is quite flawless. Other features key to me carbon monoxide sensor and 40A / 50A plug ports. To maintain, all operations(oil, carb, manual pull starter, etc are easily accessible. Smart engineering. We connect ours directly to the Generlink interface for safer operation with power crews and less modifications to have an electrician do anything with the main AC panel. See photo. There are plenty of other generator photos but this is nice. Oh, there is an ST switch option to plug into the generator and into your house. When power loss is detected it will remote start the generator. However, with the GenerLink, that’s not possible. I have recommended this to my neighbors and friends.

Greatfully needed after sever storm

We had tornados go through our neighborhood and we lost power for 2 days. MY sump pump did not work and it flooded my basement. and carpet and walls had to be replaced. I dont want to go through that again. So this is the answer. I also have the transfer switch installed.

Very impressed with WGen9500DF

Arrived on time in perfect shape. Setup and assembly was a snap. Documentation for unit very thorough and well-done and inclusive. Great features. Love that this generator is smaller, but more powerful, than my old generator. Performs as advertised.

Excellent Value

I have been searching for a portable generator for a few years now since we were without power a few years ago for a week in Mid December, due to a cold winter ice storm in Michigan. I borrowed a friends 5000W Honda generator and got us through it some what painlessly. He has offered to sell me it but a 25 year old Honda still fetches a hefty price. I wanted a brand name and larger than 5000W. They are all expensive and not getting any cheaper. I just happened on this one and after a thorough search, discovered that it was selling for a very fair price. It is exactly what I was looking for. Got here very quickly, with the box and equipment all in excellent shape. Every thing was there, and what little assembly I encountered was quick and simple. I have only gotten to fire it up and run a few pieces of tools and equipment in the garage for a test, and it has worked flawlessly. When I get my electrical renovation and upgrades done I am looking forward to plugging it in and letting it rip. It will easily handle every thing I deem critical in my home plus plenty of room for additional add ons.

More than I expected

Just received a week ago. I haven't hooked up any cables yet, but went through the manual to set-up and initial start. Fired right up. No issues. The manual can be a little tricky to figure out, but if you take your time, you'll get it. I'm looking forward to getting the cables I need and once that's done, bring on the rolling black-outs. I'm prepared this time!

Easy Set Up and Passes Initial Test

The generator was very easy to set up and worked in both gasoline and propane modes. The remote and electric starts makes starting it a breeze. Would give it 5 but haven't hooked it up to the house yet but anticipating the unit will provide the power it promises.
