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.

Great Emergency Generator

Purchased as protection for all the power outages we have during storms. Really like the ability to switch between propane and gas. Instructions and setup took less than 15 minutes This involved putting on the 2 wheels and supports. Plenty power for our house. Highly recommend!

Solid unit for the pricepoint

Bought this unit and got it delivered. Solid & compact unit. Simple & quick assembly with tools provided. Attached bubble level indicators to guide correct placement (purchased separately). Easy to move around with the large wheels and foldable handlebar. Comes with oil and funnel. Runs great. Clear instructions covering assembly, operations and maintenance.

Very nice product

The generator started immediately, right out of the box. I ran it for over an hour, just to test it. It powered the whole house, no problem. I ran it up to 46 amps at 240V, almost full load, with no problem. Noise level is reasonable, for a gen of this size.

Suprised how easy it is to move for 250 lbs.

Just received item. Started right away, I just was unable to start it with the pull cord. It is tough and I'm strong enough. I have not hooked it up to propane yet, but I think this will work great. I bought this because then we likely will never have a hurricane like Ian, last year. It was like insurance, spend the money, then you won't need it.

Fast and and furious

I ordered and it said to expect the Generator by Jan 31. I ordered it on the 13th and it arrived on the 14th. "Fast" Opened it up, set up was easy, and started up without issue. Same size and weight as my old one but more than double the power! "Furious" I will do another review after a year but happy happy so far!

Love the Dual Fuel!

I bought this a few weeks ago due to an impending ice storm. Luckily, I didn't need it this time. I have assembled it and run it. Easy to assemble - other than the shear weight - and easy to run, and this is my first generator! The only concern I have so far are the wheels which seem a little cheap and I wonder how long they will last.

Positive review of Westinghouse WGen9500DFc 5stars

I was shopping for a generator that could power my RV off-grid, power my stick welder, and power the basics of my house when the electricity is out. I choose this model due to the size, dual fuel capable, and electric remote start. We have used it, mainly with propane so far. It was GREAT, I could use the remote from inside the RV to get power going. The wheels and folding handle allowed me to push it up ramps into the truck easily. I am very pleased with this purchase, I will definitely recommend this Westinghouse generator!

Look for the battery quick connect

Just bought this generator. Everything looked great out of the box, but couldn't get it started, even after carefully following all of the start up steps in the manual and checking the troubleshooting section. Westinghouse Customer Care phone line was no help; kept disconnecting me after about 15 minutes on hold. Finally discovered that the battery hadn't been connected. The battery cables were just tie-wrapped together and shoved behind the housing. Once we connected the battery, it worked fine. The start-up and/or troubleshooting sections of the manual should mention the battery quick connect. Would have saved us a load of trouble!

Remote start and fairly quiet

Just came in a few days ago and started to put it together today. Quite easy installation and easy directions to follow. I really love the remote start and after 3 times turning over, being it's not started before, it fired right up. Ran fairly quiet for this big behemoth of a generator. I must say that it's a great generator for the size.
