WGEN9500DF is easy to run, has great features

I love this WGEN9500DF Portable generator. 12,500 peak watts and 9500 running watts can handle my essential electrical needs with ease. I easily ran the generator with both gasoline and propane(1120/8500 watts). The hose to run with propane is easy to use. Love the push button start and remote control, but you can still manually start. I also like the fact that this generator is Transfer switch ready, has a long run time, rubber outlet covers, the VFT Data display, GFIC outlets, auto low oil shutdown, built in fuel gage & the 3 year warranty to name a few. A Big Strong Generator.

Nice Generator

I purchased this one cause will pretty much run everything in our home. Not only that the unit has great reviews. Not all at once but will most of it. Also this one is advertised to run 12 hours at 50% load on 6.6 gal fuel. All others of same size runs no more than 9 or maybe 10 hours. Westinghouse name and products has been around for long time also. Unit looks great and seems to be well built. Has Cast Iron Sleeve to reduce Cylinder wear is a plus.

Why didn’t I buy this sooner?

Since you are reading this you are probably considering actually purchasing one. If you are like me, you have procrastinated on pulling the trigger. This generator was super easy to setup for a technically challenged user like me. Dual fuel gives gives you more options (I use propane). It powers way more than you will need (in a power outage situation). It’s solidly built and easy to maintain. Westinghouse is synonymous with electric power. Kudos!

Best value for money

We bought the 9500DF as a replacement for an older 5600 watt unit. I did a lot of research before making my decision and found the Westinghouse 9500DF was the best choice for us. We live in a rural area with a well and propane. I love the dual fuel feature, so when I don't have gasoline, the generator will still run. I have the unit installed into a manual transfer switch that powers 10 circuits in the house. My old 5600 watt generator would struggle when we would use the furnace and coffee pot together, if the well pump turned on, it would trip the breaker, which led us to always having to turn everything off when we wanted to take a shower for example. With this new 9500DF, the well pump is no longer a worry. When it turns on, the generator throttles on with ease. We can enjoy making coffee with the furnace on and run water without fear of the generator failing. One major bonus is the remote start feature. When the heavy snow starts, or our local power company, PGE warns of an impending power shutoff, I can simply turn the ignition switch on and, when the power goes off, I simply press the remote, the unit fires up and I flip the transfer switch without ever having to go outside. I love it.

Great Generator with great features.

I bought this generator a couple of weeks ago so far just started it and ran about half an hour runs great. I bought this because my 85 year old sister-in-law got one about 3 years ago and i go start it about every 3 months and it has never failed to start right up she has used it a couple of times when the power was off. She loves the key FOB.

Generator Life until Temporary Power arrives

I purchased two of the WGen9500DF Generators (S/N:95B0421B7801 & S/N:95B0421B8622) that I run rotating the use as a AM Generator and a PM Generator for my RV Camper until temporary power is available at the site for building our home; having two separate generators (AM/PM) takes the wear-n-tear off of running a single generator constantly. I have purchased the Westinghouse Smart ST Switch and seems to work great as long as I can change over the power outlet plugs from one generator to the other. Overall, I'm extremely happy in the performance of theses generators... I am currently running the generators on propane as a fuel source and have been maintaining regular maintenance as instructed. I'm very pleased with the simple operation of the generators. We love the remote control start/stop feature as well as the push button start on the generators. This was a wonderful purchase!

Exactly what I needed

We have frequent power outages during storms up here in alasks. I was just running a small 2000 watt generator it was not enuff to keep the whole house running. This has plenty of power to run the whole house. I haven't tried the jucuzzi jets and probably won't. I been just running it on propain. I dont want to put gas in it becouse I don't know how long it will sit between outages. Highly recommend

Great features - Remote keychain start and stop!!

This generator is well built and enclosed in a metal frame. Nice features but what I enjoy the most is the keychain remote start and stop. It is super nice when it is very cold outside and you don't have to go outside to power it up or kill it. Overall, it's well worth the money spent. I'd do it again!

So far very good!

Unboxed and assembled right after it was delivered. Packaged well. Connect 20 LB LPG tank. It fired right away and no problems experienced during the first 2.5 hours of break-in testing using both 120v outlets. Used a 500w work lights, a clothes iron, and portable heaters for break-in loads. Iron and heater cycle on and off to automatically vary load. After 1 hour switched to gasoline. Started right up. Seems to be a well thought out design. Having both a 30 amp and a 50 amp 120/240 outlet provides user with more options for connecting generator such as a stick welder. No problems found with assembly. The only thing I noticed was the yellow cap (Part 2.5) over the propane connector fitting on the generator required a pliers to remove. It was cross-threaded and it shed plastic shavings which we carefully removed so as not to cause problems with the internal working parts of the regulator.(PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE part 2.4) The where two occasions of "backfiring" on restarting the unit when unburnt fuel ignited in the exhaust system. Could have been operator error. We chose this unit because of the dual fuel option, fuel consumption, 3 year warranty, and the price. I would have preferred a smaller inverter type unit but with an all electric house we needed the watts this one provides. We thought it best to over size rather than continuously run at a smaller unit at capacity. Thank you Westinghouse!
