GREAT! Generator with many features...

GREAT! Generator with many features that a lot of other (higher priced) generators do not have (example:Electric start, Remote start, Recoil start) also, protective caps over ALL electrical plug-ins. NOTE: After two of my neighbors saw this generator, they said, "I want to buy this same generator".

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.

Quality machine

I have not started this up yet but so far, I am very pleased with my purchase. Product was delivered to my home seven days after ordering. Way sooner than expected. Everything was well packaged with minimal assembly required. Good manual, and parts drawing included.

Features

After much reserach and comparing this WGen9500DF unit to numerous other brands and types of similiar products, I found it to most fit my requirements and needs without reguard of it's price point, which I would note, is very competative considering the features included.

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.

Super Simple

My wife and I decided it was time to purchase a generator because of the frequent power outages after storms in Northern California. It is becoming common to lose power for 2-5 days after each storm event. This was starting to become a real hassle and headache, not to mention the loss of food in the refrigerators and freezers. With this generator, we should be able to run most of the appliances, lights, and furnace until the power is restored. The generator came almost ready to power up. All I needed to do was install the wheels and the front mounting feet. All super easy and the tools were included. Next, I need to add the oil, which was also included, then I connected the battery terminals and fired her up. The electric start made it super simple to start, and my wife really appreciated not having to pull the starting cord. We ran it on propane during the start up period, which we did for five hours, because we didn't want it sitting for extended periods of time with gasoline in the tank. We also changed the oil twice during the start up period just to make sure we kept the oil clean during this period. Hopefully we will never need to use it, but it feels great knowing that we have a backup power source in case of emergencies. That piece of mind is worth the cost of the generator!

Easy assembly

I bought this about two months ago. Lol and just assembled it. It was not hard you just have to read and follow. If your by yourself and are much like me it can take you about an hour. That’s only because I’m not the best at reading and following directions. Two people will probably cut half of the time or less. Of course depends on whose helping. Either way it’s not difficult.

Easy to use. This will make my life much easier.

This generator is a dream so far. After it was delivered I filled the oil, plugged in the battery wire, hooked up a propane tank to test it and it fired right up with the push of a button. I plan to get a transfer switch installed so it can power my home in an emergency. I live in Florida so there’s always a chance of a power outage. I plan to run gasoline predominately, but I’ll keep a propane tank for backup. As I get older it hard to pull the rope to start the old generator. This generator is going to make my life much easier.

Easy to Use Generator that Does it All

I bought this generator as a backup for my appliances and router due to the frequent power outages that I get in my neighborhood. As a new generator user, I found the setup easy to use and the power more than sufficient to run my fridge, router, and just about everything else on the 1st floor of my house - with power to spare. I would definitely recommend it.

WestingHouse 9500DF - Great purchase

I am so happy that I purchased this unit. We installed a home transfer switch for Hurricane prep, and this unit is the perfect size to run all necessities in the house. The option for propane and gas is also an excellent feature. Set-up was easy, and maintenance and running are straightforward.
