GREAT BACKUP FOR POWER OUTAGES

Great users manual, easy assembly. When I added the oil and attached an LPG tank, and connected the battery it start up instantly. This is large enough to power my home during emergency outages. We live in area where severe weather occurs several times a year which can cause extended power outages. The dual fuel gives me peace of mind knowing I will have the flexibility to power the generator during power outages during natural disasters. I am happy with the purchase and I have no doubt it will serve my future needs.

Great Features & Great Value

We recently bought a new home which already had a transfer switch installed for the specific WGen9500DF I purchased. The previous owner kept the WGen9500DF he had the home wired for and I was pleased to learn it provided sufficient power for all of the necessities in the event of a storm, i.e., HVAC, Stove/Oven, Refrigerator and lighting. I hope we never have to use it in the event we need it, but I am comfortable it will meet our needs in the event of a hurricane or other power outage.

Powerful Generator

I bought this generator with the intentions of powering everything in my house. During the last hurricane I wasn't able to run my well pump because I had a smaller generator. Well, this generator will run the pump and the water heater at the same time as well as lights and refrigerator with wattage to spare.

Start button stopped working

The product seems to be the best high power duel-fuel generator on the market. But the electronic start was flaky from the beginning, would only turn on after multiple flips of the on/off switch. Within 8 months the electronic start stopped working altogether -- the manual start is working fine.

All that I expected and more

I bought this generator in the aftermath of Hurricane Eta. It performed spectacularly, enabling us to return to normalcy. It was reliable, efficient, and much quieter than my previous generators. I have already recommended it to my friends and family. Thanks, Westinghouse!

Impressed so far

I just purchased this to replace an existing 7000 watt generator that provided 21 years (!) of reliable performance. Having just run that unit for a week straight during an extended storm power outage, it seemed like an appropriate time to retire it and get a new generator. After much research I chose the WGen9500SF. I wanted additional wattage, and especially wanted the ability to run on propane in addition to gasoline. I have a 500 gallon propane tank on my property, so with a longer hose this generator can be set up to run for quite a long while. The push button start and auto-choke features are both very good, and will be helpful in the event that other less technically inclined family members need to operate it. The generator arrived in perfect condition and compared to my old 7000 watt unit, the Westinghouse is actually a bit smaller, and a little quieter. Assembly was very simple and it is nice that the motor oil, funnel, etc. are all included. I've run the generator for 30 minutes or so- It fired up immediately on propane and once I realized that the duel fuel switch has to fully "click" to gasoline, it ran nicely on gas, and can indeed switch "on the fly" between both fuels. I connected to my home's manual transfer panel with my existing 30 amp connector cord and under load, the generator performed perfectly. Next week my electrician will be doing some upgrades so I can connect with a 50 amp connector cord and get the full capacity of the generator.

As advertised. Buy with confidence. Very happy.

Generator arrived quickly on a pallet & banded with zero damage. Quick easy assembly. Added oil, connected the battery cable added fresh fuel and started on first try effortlessly. So far I am absolutely thrilled to have this at my home in case of power grid failure. I cannot report on durability yet for obvious reasons, however, if build quality is any indicator of durability, this machine should last me a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.

Easy start up and connection.

Generator was shipped and arrive in great shape, no defects. Installed wheels and feet. Ran generator for an hour each on propane and gasoline without a problem. It function the way I expected. With the house connected I was running ref, freezer, furnance, well pump, lights, and entertainment center. It worked great and user manual was very helpfull operating the generator.

Reliable and Flexible Generator!

We've had enough of our power company turning off the power for days on end to avoid wildfires, so purchased this dual fuel generator. We love this thing - it can power our entire house during these outages, and the best part is that it runs on propane so we are able to avoid keeping smelly gasoline around!!

GREAT PRODUCT!!

This generator is a good match for the minimum desired load in my home including operating my electric hot water tank and well! For the output, it is compact and easy to move with the wheels and fold down handle. Super easy to set up and start! I am running on LP which keeps it free from gasoline that can go bad when not used. No draining required to put it into storage. However, I like the fact that during a long power outage, I can switch to gasoline if I run out of propane.
