Great features WGen9500DF Generator

Great generator. Easy to assemble and operate. Duel fuel option is a huge plus when dealing with power outages when gas may not be ready available. This is a heavy piece of equipment, but maneuvers well with large non-inflatable wheels. We have a transfer inlet hooked into our breaker box.

Good design but trouble getting it started

Just received it today, super excited to get this thing up and running but have yet to be successful on getting it started. I've read over the manual and everything appears to be correct on my end. I will say the design Is is very clean and robust looks to be a pretty solid unit. But It does me no good If I can't get started, hopefully it's not dead on arrival

Amazing Generator

I have had this generator for approximately 6 months and it has been great! The remote starting capability is fantastic. The layout of the control panel is very nice. The fact that this generator can run on both gasoline and Propane is a bonus. Propane does not have a shelf life so I store multiple 20 lb bottles in my garage in the event I need to use the generator. The generator was packaged great and the instructions were simple to follow. I definitely would recommend this generator to anyone looking to buy one.

Will know better once I get it put together

I was excited to get this generator but there are things to do before it can be used. The first step in the instructions, install the feet. Sounds easy enough. After trying, by hand, for quite some time, and not being able to get any bolt started in any nut (nuts are welded to the frame), I get out my magnifying glass and notice there are burrs in the nuts down by the welds. They are on all the nuts. I’ve opened a case with Westinghouse. So far, not so good when it comes to quality control.

Powerful Generator

Generator can easily power half my 2700 sq. ft. house. I have a 10-circuit transfer switch and extension cords to power range/oven, washer/dryer, refrigerator, hot water heater, sump pump, TV and computer equipment, and lights. The only major items not powered are my heat pump, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. My family will be able to ride out hurricanes and ice storms in relative comfort.

WGen9500DF - EZ Start Up

Just unboxed my new Westinghouse portable generator 9500DF. The assembly was beyond simple (ANYONE can do in 5 minutes). The operation instructions were easy to understand. The diagrams and pictures were detailed and very helpful. Even “pairing” the generator to the remote key fob was a one button operation. Most impressive was it started right up…the first time…when I used the cold start choke.

Well designed. Easy to maintain. Sturdy.

I have not used the generator yet, but I did unbox and put it together. It took about 15 minutes to figure everything out and get it operational. The remote start is a cool feature. Overall, I am very impressed with the construction and easy access to things like the fuel filter.

9500 Dual Fuel

Came as described, super powerful and easy to use. Setup was simple as it came mostly already put together. I cannot say I am looking forward to another power outage, but we are certainly ready with this beast outside. The power fob is a great touch!

More than I was expecting!

After losing power after a freeze (in Texas) decided I need to do something. This generator arrived in perfect condition, followed the easy to read start up instructions and everything works great. It’s definitely heavy so make sure you have someone to help unload it. After that, it’s very easy to move around with the wheels and handle. Super excited to add this to my storm prep kit!

Beast mode

I bought this generator mainly because it was the most powerful one my electric company said would work with the supplied transfer switch. I live in Florida and and have had many generators, but this model impressed me. Started first try with both gas and propane. It didn't take long for me to really test it out, as a tree took down some power lines after a storm. Never missed a beat, and it ran my well pump, 2 window A/C units, hot water heater and all 3 fridges/freezers for 2 days....I highly recommend this
