I bought this because power on Whidbey Island goes out a couple times a winter because of high winds. This generator has the features I was looking for in a portable house generator. I haven't actually used it yet, but I like most of the design except for the 50-amp receptical. Whoever placed the receptical over the wheel has never had a 50-amp cord in their hands. I plan to power my house with the 50-amp cord and will have to remove the wheel after the generator is in place. As can be seen with the picture, the power cord plug uses most of the space between the receptical and wheel. These cords are massive and not very flexible so I will have to remove the wheel to get the 50-amp cord plugged in. Every 50-amp cord I've seen has a 90 degree angle plug.

Competitively priced, fast delivery, on time, positive and professional delivery crew, unboxing and assembly of the wheels and supports took minutes, be prepared for the weight, started right up and break in period went without a hitch. have it plugged into the house via 50amp outlet/inlet and interlock kit. ran everything I have planned for emergency outages without a hitch, I must disclose I have a gas water heater, stove, and drier. But everything else is electric and handled a normal home operation easily. Satisfied, now just have to stock up on fuel. btw the fuel draw advertised is pretty accurate.

Bought this because we need a lot of power and it offered dual fuel - gasoline and propane. I had a gasoline powered unit and did not use it often enough and the gasoline got old. With propane, I can exercise the unit without having to deal with gasoline. I also have a few propane containers and that gives me an extra source for fuel.

After extensive research and reading many reviews about the WGen9500DF, I decided to purchase the unit and I'm happy that I did. The unit was delivered on time and within the selected time frame. The truck deliver service dropped off the unit at the entry to my garage which allowed me to finish the assembly (wheels and rubber feet) before moving it into its home in my garage. The next day, after I added the included oil (via the included funnel), added fresh gasoline, and attached the battery (already fully charged), the engine started after a few automatic retries that were initiated via one press of the push button start system which also set the auto-choke mechanism on the carb to allow for a cold start. Thereafter, once the engine was warm, it started right away. The unit is actually much quieter than expected based on older units I have used in the past. Although, the unit is on the heavy side, it is actually smaller than most units of this power rating. The outlets on the generator allow for it to be used for various configurations adding to its versatility. My next step is to add a transfer switch to my home and connect to the generator via an external power inlet box.

Bought the generator for the house and RV. Tested the genny today, plugged into the 20 amp circuit and tested each roof top unit and the genny didn't flinch at all. Much to my surprise I was able to start the A/C units using the thermostat in auto mode. Even at camp sites with a 30amp receptacle I have trouble, so the generator performs well. If the performance is good on the 20 amp circuit, the 50 amp with a dog bone to 30amp should be great. The generator is a little fiddly to get going on propane but straight out of the box it started with no issues on propane. It can cough and splutter trying to start with the key fob. While I find the fob a neat gadget, I find I still need to move and place the generator and then throw the breakers to make it supply electric. Also the "ignition switch" does need to be in the on position to utilize the fob, and there could be the possibility of running the starting battery down. However, with this being said, the onboard Onan marquis LP on the motorhome can be a bit of a task to get going. So comparing the 2 side by side, the Westinghouse starts right up. As far as the Westinghouse brand goes, I have had a Westinghouse LCD TV from 2007, still functioning flawlessly, been aggressively transported to other homes etc and has stood the test of time and still works well. In conclusion, following the user manual and maintenance intervals there really shouldn't be an issue with operating the generator for years to come.

I am very pleased with the ease of use and lay out of instruments and controls. The remote electric start was a real plus. Assembly was easy. Seems to have enough power for emergencies. We sometimes have several days without electricity due to storms or ice.

Bought this generator to replace one that was not working and didn't meet my power needs. Shopped the internet and retail stores for the size, features and price that fit. This generator checked all the boxes. Easy to set up and get going, started quickly, right out of the box. Westinghouse generators had great ratings for reliability. Needed accesories included. Well pleased!

The entire purchase process was smooth, helpful and professional, from speaking with a representative on the phone, to ordering on-line, to receiving emails and phone calls related to shipping, to receiving the product at my residence in a timely manner. I found the generator to be well packaged and undamaged. The little bit of assembly was easy using the supplied instruction manual and, once completed, the generator started right up. I'm very pleased with not only the product, but the purchasing experience as well.

Ce que j'aime de cette génératrice; La possibilité de la faire fonctionner au gaz ou au propane, le démarrage à distance, la puissance pour faire fonctionner toute la maison, la sortie de 50 amp. en 240v qui me permet de faire fonctionner ma soudeuse mig. Ce que je n'aime pas; Rien jusqu’à présent.

I don't have a lot of hours on this generator--I have just tested it and used it minimally for the break in process. It appears to be well built and easy to start--with both the electric and pull cord. It is noisy as expected, but not as bad as others I've seen that were smaller.
