It has everything - at the right price point.

We were without power for most of four days in the coldest winter in 100 years. We won't be in the position again with our new Westinghouse generator. It has all the features we need, it is easy to set-up and operate, it is mostly quiet - it's a generator, so some noise is expected, and the price was spot-on. We hope to never need it, but if we do, we now have peace of mind.

Impressed with first few uses

I've used this generator about three times now. Works great so far. Starts on the first pull, ran a 4' PVC (2500 watts, 120 volts) pipe heater all day with no problem. I love the little oil funnel they give you, it screws into the oil filler threads so no spills. It could have been a little longer and wider (that's what she said. sorry couldn't help myself 90's kid). Have to hold it tight and pour slow. Overall seems like a great generator for a good price.

Love it

Bought this item used at the first day and it started up on the first pull. I like the options of having to use either diesel, gas or propane. also, I like the safety reminders they are located on the generator so that anyone I trust it with can be reminded of their safety as well as our family

Perfect Balance of Size, Output, and Cost.

My father has 2 WGen9500DF generators and they have been great. They have impressive power output for the cost and are well built. My only complaint (as expected with the larger engine) is that they are loud. Based on his experience, and now mine, I honestly believe Westinghouse is the best generator on the market. For my needs, less output than his WGen9500DF and quieter, this was the perfect generator spec. It starts quickly, and seems well built. No battery to maintain is a bonus in my opinion.

EXCELLENT GENERATOR FOR A GREAT PRICE

I couldn't be happier with my Westinghouse Generator. I live in Florida so between the hurricanes and electrical storms, our electricity goes off an average of five times a year if not more. This has been a life saver. My Mom is on a feeding tube and oxygen machine so it is important we have electricity to run these. This generator has been there time and again this year. We are very happy with it and recommend it highly to anyone who has doubts.

Sturdy, durable generator with excellent features!

I purchased this generator after purchasing my first home in a coastal city. As a woman,I needed something simple and practical. However, I also needed something durable with enough wattage for all the necessities to keep me comfortable for power outages lasting more than a day. This generator fit the bill. It's easy to operate and the dual power option made it more appealing. It's easy to start manually and has an easy handle bar that simply lifts up to roll it out. Assembly was easy and straight forward. You only have to attach the wheels and feet. Everthing you need to get started is in the box (oil included). It's much larger and heavier than I was expecting, but I only have flat areas to roll it over. There's no remote control start, electric start, super quiet decibel levels or any other fancy bells and whistles. What you do get is a solid gas/propane generator that will last a lifetime if taken care of from a highly reputable company at an excellent price point!

Very good features- Dual fuel

I have had this since Dec. 31, 2022. I have tried it about 8 times, using both gas and propane. It conveniently was able to change from one source to the other without shutting down. I had a slight problem with the choke position, I have learned were to put it. It seems fine so far.

Helpful After Hurricane Helene

My fiancee and I bought this generator before hurricane season in 2023 but luckily didn't need it until Hurricane Helene hit Florida in 2024. Was able to power our RV and run an extension cord to our neighbors house to keep their refrigerator running. Definity one of the smartest purchases I've ever made!

Good combination of features!

Unloading the box was the only hard part. Assembly was easy. Instructions are clear and simple. Please do follow the break-in/maintenance suggestions so that this guy can be in top shape and ready when you need it. I like that it has ample output to run a portable A/C, fans, lights, fridge and probably other items. Being dual-fuel is fantastic. I will likely run gas exclusively but having the option to fall-back on propane is a luxury.

Good price for a portable unit

We live in an area in Texas where lights go out every time there is a Strom so this is an essential item and fir what it can do and the cost it was a great purchase. And I like that it does dual fuel and both 120v and 240v so we can connect any item we need including or AC.
