Needed a portable generator

New arrival. I just purchased the WGen9500DF, and was registering it online. It gave me the option to write a review. My chief reason for purchase is home care for my mother-in-law. She is bed bound and on a feeding machine. There are frequent electrical outages in this region, and it is a necessity to maintain her electronic equipment. I have just purchased this, and have not yet used it. I initially wanted a certain portable generator, and I followed up with some research. I discovered that ONE I initially wanted is a rebrand of the Westinghouse, and realized that the Westinghouse was less expensive. Then I looked up a few "Top portable generators of 2021" lists, and either the WGen7500 or the WGen9500 were either on the top of the list or not far from the top. I have confidence that the WGen9500DF will accomplish what I need it to do.

A great little powerhouse to power our house

After the latest string of power outages, we decided to get a larger generator. I read all the reviews on the 9500 DF and we decided to purchase it. Right out of the box, I could tell this was a quality product. Being an RV technician, I have the access to the proper cables and plugs to plug right into my house and power it during our many power outages every year. It's not too loud for all the power it's packing and the remote start gives me even more flexibility. I look forward to being more prepared thanks to our new generator.

Wgen9500DF review

Purchased a few months ago however have not had to use it under any serious load yet. Started up a few times to start the break in process, runs well and looks very well built, very sturdy, remote start is nice touch. Only reason for 4 stars is because I have not had the opportunity to test it to its full capacity.

Whole house covered!

I bought this two months ago online. It's easy to start and hooked up and ready to power the whole house with a switch on my circuit breaker panel. It comes with motor oil, and a hose for propane use. There will be enough power to keep my water pump running!

Easy to use

I received this today and it was easy to set up. A few minor glitzes in the threads of the feet I had to put on (they weren't smooth and had to be screwed in backwards to fix that, then screwed in the correct way). Also, the battery was improperly seated so I fixed that. But once that was done, it was easy to set up, fill with oil, and power up. I used Propane and it was an easy start. Loved that the key fob was already paired and that is wonderful. Also love the power, the digital readout, and the included battery charger.

Easy setup and detailed instructions

Purchased this generator after Hurricane Ian hit and left us with no electricity for 5 days. We should have purchased a generator before thus saving the loss of food in the refrigerators and freezer. The dual fuel capability should help us from waiting in line up to 5 hours for gasoline.

Well built but too loud for my tastes

Just received. Easy to assemble and started right up with remote. Definitely a step up from other generators I've owned. Louder than I expected or wanted but I'm keeping it. Would definitely recommend hearing protection when standing within 20 feet of it.

Great Features

Can't believe how easy the assembly was! 5 minutes to put the wheels and mounting feet on. Added oil, nice touch providing the oil as well! Added gas and and fired it up. Started instantly and worked like a charm. It's obviously very well built and I expect it will give me many years of service!

Great unit!

I bought this to use as a house back up generator used with a 10 circuit transfer switch. Initial setup was very easy and simple out of the box. Handles a good load with easy. I'm also a DJ and was asked to do an outdoor wedding and had to use the generator. This Westinghouse WGen9500DF didn't even break a sweat! Little overkill for that but it's what I had. I love the auto start and auto choke feature. Way to go Westinghouse, great unit!

Best Purchase Ever!

I bought this generator a little over a year ago at the recommendation of my electrician. I thought I wanted a Generac! Thank God he talked me out of that. This beast sat in my garage for a year until 2 weeks ago there was Hurricane Francine headed to the Gulf of Mexico. My electrician hooked up a generator plug outside of my breaker box, I purchased 20 gallons of gas and we waited. Sure enough the power went out and this wonderful piece of equipment powered 3 of the 4 bedrooms (which all has portable air conditioning), the side of the kitchen with refrigerator, the garage which has an upright freezer, the den (TV, internet router, 2 lamps). It was as if we never lost power! I'm so sorry I didn't buy this years ago. We lost power during Hurricane Ida in 2021 and we evacuated to Houston. A 4.5 hour drive took 17 hours!!! Never again. I have recommended this generator to my neighbors and family. So easy to use. Thank you
