Worth every penny!

I loose power quite often where I live, decided to go with this and surprisingly it came with everything I needed! Hoses and oil etc. Very simple to set up and so easy to use my kids can run it. This powered my whole house!! Worth every penny! Thank you!

Beats Expectation

Unit is well made, easy to use and easy to roll around. Set up is quick and foolproof. Put unit on transfer switch and it runs all the essentials in the house. Noise level is lower than other brands my neighbors have. Feel really good doing into a power outage with this unit.

Well thought out!

Just received, unboxed and simple instructions to put together. Had another brand for years and the Westinghouse is well thought out. Dual fuel is a must if its hard to get gasoline. Remote start if you want to shut off before bed and restart when you wake up. Digital volt/hour/Frequency/hour meter. Even the funnel has a rotating head! Highly recommended!

Strong Generator

The generator is solid. It is a little noisy but that was exacerbated by the rain. Pros: The remote starting is a nice touch for the cold mornings. Cons: Remote start attempts is a start cycle that attempts to start 3 times while it auto adjusts the choke for gas operation. The propane start is a cleaner quicker start. It takes a little getting used to. The pull start is a little awkward to pull but it is hopeful you never have to practice that.

So far very nice for the price

This portable generator arrived in good condition. It was easy to set up to run. The instructions were pretty clear. I did not have any issues with them. The unit is pretty heavy but once the wheels are installed it is easy to move around. I fired it up for the first time with out any issue. I used the included remote while standing next to the generator. It attempted to start initially but didn't and and then tried again on it's own and fired right up. I believe that it normal since there was no propane in the system. I did as mentioned run it on propane. I'll add my experience when I use gas. While it was running, I connected and used a corded electric chain saw with no problems. I'll update this review in a few months.

Great performance and features.

The dual-fuel capability offers extra peace of mind. Enough power here to run the whole house with the right transfer switch. Installed the wheels, added the included oil, filled the tank and started right up...as it should. Tested manual pull, push-button, and remote starts as well as all outlets and features. No issues. Nice generator.

Brand new

Although I have not run this yet I am very impressed with the unit as is my Plumber/electrician, who says he likes it better than Generac --Remote start, built in battery charger and best of all an hour meter, since maintenance is so important. Will check back when I use it, but for me traditionally - now that I have a working generator, the power will not fail

WESTINGHOUSE WGen (9500) DF

Bought a month ago and no regrets, Pretty quiet compared to my old generator and much easier to handle. It is compatible with a GENERLINK Transfer switch (the one that sits just behind the electric meter outside your house. Dual fuel is great option. IF gas gets too expensive I have an option to propane. Starts up quickly with electric start. Should run whole house easily.. we do have a pretty efficient house. All i need now is a hookup to charge an electric car if power goes out. Power goes out a lot here as we are surrounded by provincial park on one side and nature /wildlife reserves on other side. LOTS of 70 to 80 foot trees and power lines go through these areas.

Simple set up and operation

Purchased in July, currently awaiting PG&E installation of transfer ready smart meter...We've had 3 power dips since July and I've only run the generator once for keeping my refrigerator going for 6 hours. Simple to use and much more quiet than I anticipated!

Highly Rated - Well Built

The unit was just delivered 2 days ago. The instructions are clear. The capability is excellent! Possibly the highest rated generator on the internet. Have it ready to go in case of emergency. Capable of running everything except our AC. Now that we have, we will probably never lose power again and that is worth it!
