Perfect for what we need

After getting by with a smaller generator and only being able to run the fridge and our phones during power outages, we upgraded to this model. We had our electrician install a generator transfer switch to our electrical panel, and now this is powerful enough to run nearly our whole house. What an improvement!

Great Generator for Home Backup

I bought this generator for small home backup - fridge, freezer, well pump, water heater, etc.... It will not run my A/C or HVAC but I have an electric heater already so I'm good. Easy to setup out of the box, you may need help as it's decently heavy to get out of the box. But setup was a breeze, took my time - 20 min tops. Easy to start - 3 ways - remote, electric or pull. Not nearly as loud as I thought and easy to move with the handle and wheels. I highly recommend. Just waiting for electrician to install my transfer switch and I'm good to go.

Well made

This is a well made generator for whole house backup. It is pretty easy to setup. It has the outlet covers on all inputs, which is critical if you live near the ocean. The wireless function is cool. Would have given five stars but one of the nuts on the leg assembly was stripped, so I had to tap the nut to attach one of the legs.

Easy Setup - Started on Propane 4th Try.

The setup was easy and could be done by one person. The oil fill spills over, so fill it SLOWLY. It took another 1/4 quart to get it to the middle of the dipstick. It started on the 4th try, and the start button provides 3 attempts automatically. Nice feature! Be aware the Key FOB is clipped on the pull starter. Can't give a higher review yet as we haven't connected it to the house. But I know WH has the best products, as my Pressure Washer performed flawlessly this past summer.

Excellent Generator and Extremely Easy to Operate

I Purchased this Generator after seeing the Performance of one of them that a Family Member had Purchased. I had set it up for them and have seen it used during a Spring Ice Storm Power Outage. I was totally impressed at the Features it has and how easy it is to set up and operate. The push button electric start makes it so easy and it starts right up and the remote control Starting and stopping is great when the need is there to start or stop it remotely. It has many nice features on it that really make it a joy to use. I look forward to many years of service from this Quality Built Generator and Flawless Performance. I highly recommend purchasing a Westinghouse Generator if your in the market for one.

Well-built generator!

I recently bought this generator to prepare for the hurricane season here in Texas. I’ve did my research to different brands of generators and this wgen9500df has better features among them as to what I need during a power outage. Out of the box looks pretty well built. I’ve paired with a 40lb propane and did a test run with no issues. User manual is easy to understand. Well done Westinghouse!

Great Generator

I bought this generator in June 2023. It arrived undamaged, and was easy to assemble. It started up on the first try using the push button ignition. Follow a short break in period, I push a load on it and it worked as advertised. While I hope not to have to use it, it is comforting to know that I will have the necessary power if and when needed

Prepared for an outage
5 out of 5 stars review

Excellent Features for a portable generator

This generator was delivered in perfect condition. It has all the features in a portable generator that I wanted. The duel fuel option was the absolute must. If you run out of gas, then you can switch to propane. Propane has such a long shelf life. I am also getting a 50amp transfer switch installed on on panel so I can easily just plug in the generator without having extension cords running throughout the house. The running watts has plenty of power to run a central air unit, two fridge's and some lights. Just what you would need during a power outage.

Just what we needed,

We ordered this and received it just before the February 2022 ice storm here. We got the cord and connections hooked up a few days before it hit. Power was only out for a couple days, but it worked flawlessly. It powered our house and well pump with no problems. We did shut off the water heater, because we ran 2 electric heaters.

GREAT GENERATOR!

I bought this generator in advance of the 2021 hurricane season, to replace a generator that I loaned out to a relative last year and never saw again. It is heavy; I needed help to unload, unpack, and to install the wheels and brackets. I added a little gasoline; the battery had plenty of charge and the generator started up with the first try. I tested with a couple of 110v appliances- worked great! I do hope that I don't need it this summer, but if we loose power, I am very glad I now have this generator. I should have plenty of power for my needs.
