Convenient and dependable

We have not used this yet, but it has been easy to assembly and already proven to be convenient to store until use. The Westinghouse name has always been dependable to use and we know this will be too. Reading the material proves to be easy to understand and helpful with using. Very pleased with this product.

Flip the battery switch and GO!

We bought this after being out of power 3 days with hurricane Helene. Received very quickly, unboxed, minor assembly, checked the oil, flipped the battery switch and it started right up. It's been a livesaver for my Veteran husband who needs consistant air and power for his Cpap. Thank you Westinghouse for this great product!!

Great portable generator.

The ease of use and dual fuel helped me decide to get this generator. I am familiar with generators from my Army days. Man have they come a long way. The capacity rating more than meets our needs in the event of a power outage. A great peace of mind for both my wife and me.

So Far So Good

Just had the generator delivered 5 days ago. Got everything put together and ran on propane right away. Powered the travel trailer with no problem and wasn’t as loud as I thought it would be. I hope to update this once I have it hooked up and power my home.

Solid, Durable and Dependable

This generator is a beast in weight, production value, and power generation. I am very happy with the quality of construction and especially the well-thought-out instruction materials that were obviously written by someone for whom English is indeed their first language.

The ideal backup generator for my home

This Westinghouse product (WGen9500DF Dual Fuel Portable Generator) was recommended by the electrician who hooked up the plug for the portable generator to our breaker box. I was scouting a few other models and when I listed them for the electrician, he said, "No. No, no, no, no. You want the Westinghouse. Not those other ones." I know that Westinghouse is a great name brand, a legacy brand, so it was not difficult for me to take the electrician’s recommendation. I am sure glad I did. It was important to get one with LOTS of power, and this model has plenty. You can barely hear the unit surge when I turn on more and more breakers and give it more load. The WGen9500DF can handle all that I throw at it. I even turned on a few extra things, plugging them into garage plugs. No problem. This unit runs all the lights and plugs in my family room, so we will not lose internet service when the power goes out; all the lights upstairs and in the master bedroom and bath; everything in the kitchen (including fridge and stove); and the garage fridge and other outlets in there. And, of course (and, most importantly) it easily handles my home's furnace, well pump, and ejector pump. I basically have EVERYTHING I need on in the house ... and could probably plug in a window AC if I needed to in a heat wave. Hopefully, I will not have to attempt that, but I’m sure this generator can handle it. The unit is easily maneuverable. Without gas in the huge 6.6-gallon tank, I can move it out of the garage, over some grass, and over a little hump to get it on the back patio. It might need to use two hands if it is filled with gas ... which is why I am glad this thing is DUAL FUEL. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to be able to run this on gasoline or propane. You're going to need that flexibility one day and will be glad you have it. The ability to switch between fuels is as easy as turning a dial. The remote start/stop is also super convenient. If you are looking for a portable generator to restore power to the essentials in your house, and maybe even a little more, this is the unit for you. It's a little loud, but not much louder than a power washer. In fact, that's what my neighbor thought I was running when she heard it going on my first test. Now she's going to come over and check out my generator and will probably buy the same one. Highly recommended.

Looks good so far

It looks like a great generator, but have not had a chance to use it yet. Only reason I did 4 stars instead of 5 is because several parts of the frame were chipped and scuffed when it arrived (must have been due to shipping I guess) and two of the threads for the rubber mounts on the bottom were stripped upon arrival. I had to re-tap the threads, which isn't a big deal but wasn't something I should have to do for a brand new product.

Good overall design

I bought this generator about 2 months ago in preparation for the winter months. The overall setup was fairly easy. It is a somewhat heavy piece of machinery, so keep that in mind. I have not had the chance to use it, but it does seem to be sturdy and decently built.

Perfect for my needs

I purchased this generator to power our travel trailer here at home in the event of a power outage so we could use both A/C’s if needed, after doing some calculations I could also power our two refrigerators in the house at the same time. This makes for great peace of mind knowing we can live comfortably in the event of a power outage. When it was delivered the driver used a forklift to set the pallet with the generator on it in my garage for me, I’m 65 and I was afraid that it would be too heavy for me to work with to put the wheels on it. I was able to lift the wheel end and slide a piece of 4x4 under the frame with my foot and get the wheels put on with absolutely no problem at all, did the same thing on the other end to put on the support feet. Very pleased with my purchase.

Worked flawlessly with my Generlink hook-up

Bought last fall and sure enough ice storm in March knocked out our power . I have a very active sump pump was was running every 7 minutes. Hooked up generator to my hydrometer and I had instant peace of mind. Plus the comfort of running the furnace and two fridges , freezer, and other amenities!!!
