Good Portable Generator

I recently bought this generator and so far have been impressed with the features. It has a pull start, push button start, and a remote key fob that all work in starting without issues. The sound is not too bad, but as expected with a generator it does have that common loud engine noise when standing next to the generator. From inside the house it's just a low hum. It does run quite stable. I have yet to test it's load. I am having a manual transfer switch installed and once installed will give the generator a full test to ensure it will support the rated watts. No complaints so far. It is heavy and having the wheels and handle making moving it very easy. Wheels seem rugged so far.

Well packaged easy to assemble

I started to buy this generator in September. Had to wait until Oct. was worth the wait. Easy to assemble came with everything to do the job.Nice features works with all my power tools. Just waiting for power to go to see what the run time is with full load.

A Generator Powerhouse

This generator was well worth the wait, 2020 has been hard on everyone, including manufacturing. I knew this 9500DF was the generator that I wanted, I looked at the competitors, but they were not even in the same league of quality, power and price for a powerhouse generator like this. Assembly was very easy, 20 minutes and it was ready to run. Westinghouse did not skimp on features, they even included a remote start, how great is that, sit in the house, push a button and lights on ! Just by the generator sound, You can be sure , if it's Westinghouse !

Powerful!

I just received my WGen9500DF this week and have been testing it out. It powers everything with ease and was not as loud as I expected! During my research before I bought this generator pretty much the only complaint I found that people had was how loud it was. To my surprise it was a lot quieter than I expected and don't think the noise level is unreasonable at all. Overall very happy with the generator!

Ease of use

Purchased in preparation for Hurricane Ida. It took 10 minutes to set it up and have it running. It's more than enough to power our ~2100 sq ft home with central A/C. We evacuated for the storm and luckily we had power restored when we returned; however, I'm kind of excited for the next power outage...

Works great!

Our power went out for 5 days, prompting me to buy a generator. The day it was delivered our power went out again for a few hours while they repaired lines patched from the previous storm. I got to start the break in period running a window unit, TV, a few fans and lights. It worked great!

Great unit and reasonably priced

All things considered, this is a fantastic unit for the price point. I've researched a ton of generators at this and similar power ratings, and around this price point. This thing starts smooth and runs smooth, handling power draw right up to its limits. This is a larger unit, but I'm fine with that considering how much it can handle power wise. Despite its size it has comfortable handles and can be moved around well. The remote start works well, although I can see limited scenarios when I'd need it so it wasn't a must have. This unit is louder than similar ones at the same size from other manufacturers, but at considerably less cos. I also have this for storms and disasters so it doesn't really bother me since I don't run it often. It also has a built in battery trickle charger which most other brands do not have, so you'd have to factor in the cost of an additional battery tender. Finally, what sold me on this unit was the dual fuel option. It gives me a second option in case I run out of gas or if the supply becomes scarce for some reason. We are in the country with a massive propane tank so I can always switch to that, even if the chance of needing it is remote. It was worth the slight increase in cost in my opinion and what pushed me to buy this unit and upgrade to this unit after a couple of years research from my older (smaller) one. I think this is the perfect balance of "major necessities" backup power, size, features, etc. for a very reasonable price. The next model size up is a beast and way overkill for most emergency backup situations.

Peace of mind

Bought this so we would have heat and could keep food from spoiling in the event of a winter storm. I used the natural gas option and the generator quickly started right up. My house was already set up for an expensive whole-home generator, but we saved thousands of dollars by going this route instead. We haven't tried the home AC, but this generator has been able to power everything else.

Plenty of power

I purchased this generator to be a backup power source for a 2200 sq. ft. house. Has enough wattage to handle everything I need ( sump pump, well water pump, pressure tank, AC, refrigerator, TV, Lights, etc) during power out emergencies. Wired to house with a 50 amp cord.

Super fast power

Instant start on a 25lbs propane tank. Powered nearly my entire house including 3 ton A/C. Haven't tried with the water heater on, but ran everything else just fine. Remote start works from inside. Hooked up with a 50 amp receiver into electrical panel. Must have item for hurricane season. Don't hesitate, sleep good knowing you're prepared.
