Don't until there is an emergency to get prepared. NOW is the time to prepare! This unit will help keep my family safe and comfortable during emergency power outages. It is powered by either gasoline or propane. Gasoline has about a 1 year shelf life. Propane is virtually unlimited in life. Flexibility is very important!

Purchased in June and received July 8th. Decided to go ahead and start up to make sure it worked. Put in gas and oil, pushed the Start button, automatically tried to start the generator, cycled twice and no start. I finally checked closer and the choke was not engaged. Corrected and pushed Start and....it started running. I love the push button start and the Key Fob Remote Start...it really works. I let it run about 15 minutes, shut it down, restarted it about 30 minutes later and it was so easy...just push the Start button or the button on the Key Fob and it started on the second try. Due to Covid-19, I am waiting on the electrician to get it installed to an outside 50 amp box which will connect it to my breaker box in the garage and will also have a special breaker installed so there will be a seamless transfer in case we have a power outage, which is likely since I live in Florida and we have hurricanes. I thoroughly researched generators for months because I have never owned one. This Westinghouse generator is highly rated and recommended. It is rated to run the house A/C as well as refrigerator, lights, etc. Will have to follow directions to properly used when I get everything installed.

Recieved the generator 3/7/22, unpacked it, put wheels and front mounts on, filled w/ supplied oil and funnel, plugged battery connector in, connected my propane tank(who can afford gasoline?)and had gen running and making power within 1/2 hour, works great

Bought it, and was delivered today. About one hour to set up machine. Worked great on propane, but wouldn't start on gasoline. After a few minutes of searching, found the choke (it is well hidden from sight). Once choked, it started right up on gasoline. Fairly quiet for such a big machine, and will all I want and more.

Although I don’t have anything to compare to and looking at numerous others I decided on the WGen9500DF. Right out of the box (adding the oil) a few pulls and it started right up. I used gas the 1st start but will likely be using propane moving forward because it burns cleaner. Although the generator is loud I actually thought based on what I’ve been told it would be louder. (Another plus) I recently had a 50 amp transfer switch installed and after starting plugged in the generator I was able to power the pool, fridge, freezer, router, various lights, etc. I switched those off and turned on heat and then pool (along with fridge and freezer) and there didn’t seem to be any hesitation. My wife and my minds are at ease heading into the crazy Texas winters which are very unpredictable.

I just received this generator. It was very simple to put the wheels and pads on. It seems like they made it easy to maintain and service - oil, battery, etc. I fired it up and it runs great! It runs quieter than I expected. It has a nice handle and is well balanced to move around.

This generator was easy to assemble. Ten minutes wheels and leveling legs where on. Oil added, gas put in tank, propane hooked up. Ran 2 hours with 1 gallon of gas (still some in tank) then turn handle from gas to propane without missing a beat. Ran another 2 hours. I had all lights on in house, 3 bathroom fans, 1 tv, ran dishwasher, washing machine, 2 refrigerators, microwave and a basement dehumidifier. Ran the furnace for heating as well. I used the 14-30 outlet to a manual interlock. This generator kept up without missing a beat. Extremely happy with this purchase for emergency power. After researching the Westinghouse generators kept coming up top of list in all reviews. Seems to be a very well built machine.

Outstanding workmanship. Great instructions that, in spite of its weight, allowed me to totally prepare the device. It is also not as noisy as I thought it would be. Living in FL, my wife has been after me to get something to protect our food/lights. Hope I never have to turn it on. Beautiful piece of equipment! Please send me the generator cover to help protect it! Thanks

This machine runs so smoothly and started right up. I haven’t had a chance to plug it in to my transfer switch to the house yet but I’m sure it will run everything I need. It has enough power to run the furnace, well pump, refrigerator, freezer, washer, stove and all the lights. So happy I made this purchase! I am getting this broke in just in time for the ice storm on Wednesday!

Bought this generator as a home power backup during hurricane season. This is one of the few generators that I found with a 50amp circuit. The panel layout is great. The trickle charge feature is a great option. I keep it plugged in all the time. Overall, it is super-simple to operate and very well built. No issues so far and don't really expect any in the future.
