I picked this up yesterday and started breaking it in today. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the build quality of this generator. It was incredibly easy to get setup, instructions were easy to understand. It started up first try and run very smoothly. The smart idle is a great feature! Though the instructions don't state as much, I am doing a break-in period of running it for an hour with no load, changing oil, running it again for an hour, changing oil, and then running it again with a load. I don't see a reason it wouldn't be able to handle any household load I throw at it. Will follow-up after all of this is done. Despite the weight of the machine it is incredibly easy to move around. Not only that, it even looks great. If I had any complaints it would be changing the oil. It appears to be virtually impossible to do so without an absolute mess. Otherwise, I am ecstatic about my purchase. I got a 10ft 6 gauge cord to plug directly to the 50 amp outlet. I have a feeling the setup will work very well!

This generator has many features that make using it convenient. Remote start, dual fuel is an easy switch when needed, leave gas in the tank but run it out of the carburetor before storing and battery charger are some of the features that make this generator a good choice.

Just purchased this generator for a home back-up incase of power outage. Assembly went very easy according to instructions. Oil and a funnel is included. Filled with rec 90 non ethanol fuel and hit the button. Unit started right up and ran flawlessly. Connected a drill to test power output, and it worked perfect. Now for the next northeast Ohio winter storm to put it to the real test. So far I'm impressed.

Moving from California to Louisiana was definitely different did a lot of research in preparation to buy a generator that would possibly run most of my home. Came up with the WGN 9500 very good generator thus far haven't had to use it start it up first start only reason I didn't give it more stars is cuz I haven't been able to attach it to the house yet

We just got our Westinghouse WGen1200DF today! My handy husband had no problem putting the wheels on and getting it mobile. We live in a rural area on a steep hill and can get trapped in icey weather. Finally, this year I can have peace of mind about that possibility. Thank you!

Just finished unboxing and set up. The packaging was surprisingly good, so used to getting things poorly packaged, not the case with this monster. The generator is large. I've yet to run it, but if it runs as good as it looks and as well built as it appears to be externally, this will be the beginning of a forever relationship. Cons...no cover included. The generator should come with a cover for a couple reasons, one it is an expensive unit. Buying this size of a machine should have included at least a basic cover which it did not. Second reason, it is so large, its been a challenge to find an aftermarket cover. Again for these reasons Westinghouse should have included. If Westinghouse really wants to be a superstar, they would sell a "Tri-Fuel" add on kit. I wanted it from the start, but no units this large had it (that I found). That would really be the icing on the cake, support for Natural Gas.

Very easy to put together with the clear instructions included, even though it is a heavy machine, the wheels make it very easy to move around. We have not had to use it yet, but we now have peace of mind that we are prepared for an emergency of power outage.

I bought this about a year ago, had not needed till Hurricane Milton. We had no power for 3 days, this generator ran flawlessly. I have a 3500 sq foot house and could run both AC units with all other regular house items. I could turn off a unit to run other big items if needed. I ran extension cords to neighbors so they could power there fridges and small items. Did exactly what I needed and cost a fraction of what a few neighbors paid for generac stand by units.

I would have given this five stars but in the owners manual I found it less informative than I needed. It can power up my home and our 3 ton heat pump. I will make sure the emergency heat isn't used. That can cause some big issues if the heating elements are activated. Assembling the wheels wasn't to difficult either. I put them on before removing it from the skid it was delivered on. I really like the remote start feature. I did find the low low idle will not be used much for my needs.Over all peace of mind for delivering clean electricity was well worth the extra money. I don't want my TVs or heat pump frying because the power is out. I did my research before deciding on this one. Great product!!!

I wanted to have one big enough to run a central AC and this foots the bill. The dual fuel will allow me to have storage options for post hurricane episodes that are safer than gasoline only. Remote start will be especially good when I have a larger propane tank.
