easy start, fuel flexibility, great power

I am surprised on the easy start and has pull to start in case battery is dead. I bought this generator for the natural gas usage when power is out for a few days can't get gasoline. Easy on the fuel consumption. It has great power output it will run everything in my house that I need in an emergency situation.

Great features, easy assembly

The builder of our home pre-installed an exterior access point for generators to connect to the power main. I wanted a portable generator with enough power to power most, if not all, of the house. I chose this model because of its 50 amp output and dual fuel capability. The assembly instructions were very easy to follow, in well-written English. Assembly, by myself, took less than a half hour.

Well built and thought out.

Our Westinghouse WGen9500DF arrived 5 days sooner than scheduled, zero damage to the box or products inside. Followed the instructions to the letter and everything worked exactly as advertised. Seems to be a nice well built unit and is very simple to assemble and operate. Having three different options for starting is a major plus and the key fob works great! This generator is surprizingly quieter than expected and appears that it will be easy to service when needed. Ran it on gas and propane without any issues. The fold away handle seems strong and ergonomically positioned and was able to move the unit with ease. The metal fuel tank and roll cage are solid and the fuel gauge is large and clear.

Buy Westinghouse Genenators

I have had Westinghouse generator products for nearly 10 years now and they crank every time I need them and are more fuel efficient than the rest. This is why I’m getting the 9500, can run my camper and a lot of my house essentials at the same time During a storm.

Ready for the next hurricane !!!

So happy with this purchase. Very easy to assemble and get ready for the next storm. Never want to be in a situation without some type of power to my home for days at a time. This gives me a little peace of mind and connection to the outside world !!!

So many features!

We bought this to be sure we had power for the essentials after the Texas grid issues last year. One broken outdoor faucet replacement cost 25% of the cost of this generator. We are so pleased with the performance. And so many extra features. We love the Dual Fuel option.

So far so good

I saved a ton not going the Genrac route. Unless you live where power outages are frequent, getting this generator is a nice trade-off. After extensive testing, I confirmed both my heat pump, well pump, and lights can operate simultaneous running on propane fuel. That was convincing enough for me. My original plan was to use gas, because at this time of writing it is ~30% cheaper per BTU compared to propane. But given I have a large buried propane tank, I'll settle on the more expensive fuel due to convenience, not having to store large quantities of gas, and dealing with old stale gas for emergencies. If I was able to siphon gas out of my vehicle this would be a different story. But most vehicles today have anti-siphon tanks. To feed my electrical panel, I installed a UL approved lock-out device to back feed. My recommendation is NOT to buy one of those knockoff versions which are not UL approved for your panel. In case of fire or some insurance claim, you do not want have an illegal electrical panel setup. Allowance varies from state to state, check with your electrician. But if you can legally do this, it is far cheaper than installing a switch panel and it feeds all your circuits instead of just a few, providing you do not exceed 9.5KW.

Ease of use!

In preparation for hurricane season we decided to purchase a generator to meet our whole house needs and one easy to maintain and start regularly throughout the year. Our favorite feature is that my wife can start and stop it with ease if I am not home. Should it run out of gasoline just switch to the propane and push the button to fire it up!!

My Dual Fuel Portable Generator WGen9500DF.

Have owned this gen set for a month and I have kicked myself for not buying it sooner. I have had 0 problems since owning this generator and it runs my entire house. It was well packed on a pallet, with no dings or issues, and figured out how to put it together per the instruction manual. I love the remote starter key and am completely impressed with the quality of this product. It is very cost-effective.

Just what I needed

This generator will power all of the critical circuits in my whole house. What piece of mind. This generator is well built and the user manual is well written and complete with parts break down and schematics. For a retired electronics technician, this is great. I highly recommend this generator.
