Hurricane ready

We went through hurricane Ian last year in SW Florida and was without power for a week. We had my folks and my sister and nephews staying at our place and we were all stuck due to the flooding. No power means no water (we're on a well). 9 people stranded in one home in the heat with no water equals a pretty rough week. Learned my lesson. Got a transfer switch installed in the home and bought this generator for home back up so that situation never happens again. The minor assembly was a breeze and I was very grateful it included the oil. No scratches or dings at all. Now…I wait for the next storm.

Missing Parts & Online registering not working

I bought the WGen9500DFc Inverter this week because of the dual fuel. However ther are two issues after I got it out off the box. 1). I cannot install wheels yet because the assembly diagram show there are two washers per wheel and it only came with two washers. The carton contents says there are only two washer included. 2) I tried to register it online. But the registration will not accept the model number. I re entered it several time with and without capital letters and it keeps telling me to enter a valid model number. Once I get the other two washers and get it registered I will review how it operates.

Great!

We have had our generator a few months and have only had to use it a couple of times, but those times have been great! I work from home and need to have power and I was able to switch to this generator with minimal difficulty and disruption. We live in Florida and are getting ready for storm season.

Westinghouse Dual Fuel Portable Generator

I recently took delivery of my new Westinghouse dual fuel WGen9500. I completed the initial assembly, and ran the unit for the one (1) hour initial break-in period. The machine ran flawlessly on both propane and gasoline. I am very pleased with the power capabilities of this product and look forward to it serving our storm related backup power requirements for our Florida home for years to come.

Appears to be nice unit - but won't run on propane

I bought this unit a couple of months ago and just got around to having an electrician wire the house. Shortly after the unit arrived in early March I started it up using propane (after reading the manual) and it ran beautifully. Today when I tried to start it for the electrician it would not start on propane...crazy. I put gas in it which I didn't want to do. It started and ran on gas and it ran my whole house. The disappointing thing is that I called the service hotline on a Saturday morning to ask someone for help. It was an answering service and they said that someone would call me during normal business hours next week. So, if there was an emergency and you needed to use your generator on the weekend there would be no assistance. The woman on the phone said they would give me the nearest service location to take it to. So beware because I would consider this a major missing link in their system. Maybe others are the same. I'll see what happens next week...when I'm at my full time residence...200 miles from the generator.

Very good generator!

I recently bought the WGen9500DF generator, and it has been a solid performer. Its dual-fuel capability is very handy, letting me use either gasoline or propane. The power output is impressive, easily handling my household needs during outages. The electric start feature is convenient, and it runs smoothly. Overall, it's a reliable and efficient generator that I recommend for home backup power.

More Than Enough

The generator arrived promptly according to their delivery schedule securely packaged. Assembly (wheels and feet) was quite easy and the duel fuel option will allow for greater use in extreme instances. The operation and maintenance directions were easy to easy to understand. I have only given four stars at this time because I have not actually started and used it as of yet and so cannot provided information regarding it's running condition and performance. However, it appears to be a sturdy and quality build and if it works as well as it looks this generator will exceed more than my expected needs. I am looking forward to giving it a test run.

Generators starts right up, can use propane

Installed a hook up right to my breaker panel. The electrician that did this also bought the WGen9500DF. It started right up. I enjoy the electric and remote start way more than I thought I would. Nice. I particularly like the ability to use propane. Then I don't have to worry about the gas in the tank going bad (even with extenders). I just got a couple extra propane tanks (they work on my grill). This generator is a great, and much less expensive, way to get power to our house. I am ready for the next power outage.

Portable Home Backup

I was using a smaller generator running wires into the house when power was out. After a winter ice storm and being out of power for several days, my smaller generator could not handle the load in keeping the house warm. I hired an electrician to add a connection into the house. Hooking up via a 50 amp connection. I tested this generator running the AC. The generator worked fine. I did not notice the generator being drained when running the AC. A lot quieter than I expected. The generator was fairly easy to assemble. With the wheels on, my wife can move the generator back and forth if needed. I am pleased with my purchase. This provides me peace of mind when the power is out.

9500DF

Took a month to get here but finally here. Funnel to add oil is beautiful. Works like a charm. Hard to fill with gas without spilling. Owners manual mentioned nothing of manual battery disconnect, battery comes connected. Took following the wires to find it hidden zip tied. Fob was already paired so that was nice. I will try to see if auto choke works. I manually set choke and starts right up.
