Great product

Bought this generator for emergency full home power. Received in excellent condition. Assembly was a breeze with easy to read directions. Added oil and fuel. Started and ran smooth on very first attempt. Waiting for my GenerLink install. Can't wait to test it out!

Exactly what we needed!

I've been looking at a generator for a couple years now as our neighborhood loses power a couple times a year from storms taking out power lines and whatnot. The trifuel capability gives us the flexibility to utilize our resources most efficiently in emergencies as they come. While I have not yet used it during a power outage, I have hooked it up and ran the proper heavy duty extension cords to make sure it could handle our load out when the time comes (2 refrigerator/freezers, 1 chest freezer, and two space heaters) and it ran the load on natural gas for an hour straight with no issues, which for an initial test run I consider a success! Cannot wait for the time to use it for real!

Built like a rock!

Very compact, very portable and just over 200lbs! Built like a rock, I'm using it to handle intermittent power outages for our 2500 sqft house in fire country. Actually, our electrician recommended this model along with others costing much, much more. This one fit our needs the best.

Great Generator for the price

I bought this generator in May when I moved into our new home. Although I haven't had a chance to really test it out (thankfully we haven't lost power yet), I did get it all set up and ready to go. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the "remote control" fob for the unit. What a great addition to an already great product. Once I charged up the battery for awhile, I did a test start, and the generator powered right up. I'm excited to see it in action!

So far so good

Out of the box no damage. Started right up on both fuel types. Runs great. No noticeable voltage drop running basic power tools. MultiMeter reads 122 volts, ran skill saw 0 voltage drop on 50 foot cord. I'm sure everything else including RV will do just fine

Simple Setup

Delivery was a breeze and even arrived earlier than expected. The setup was straight forward by following the manual. The manual is complete and easy to understand. I stated the unit using a 20# cylinder of LP gas. I also stated it on natural gas without any issues. I do not plan on using gasoline unless I have to. This was a prime selling point for my purchase. I know I will be using this sometime this spring.

Great Features

I bought this generator several weeks ago after Hurricane Beryl came through Houston and everbody lost power. The TRIFuel option is the best thing that can happen to a generator. Now I can hook it up to natural gas and just let it run without having to go and find gasoline at gas stations that do not have power that can pump gas. I believe in Westinghouse products as I have used them all of my life. I am 82 years old and this generator will make it so much easier to operate and maintain. Thank you Westinghouse.

Amazing features, big power, small package

I originally bought a Champion 12,500/15,000 as a backup to power my home in case of an outage. I discovered that my house is pretty energy efficient as it would run my entire house including A/C, oven, stove, dryer, washer, lights, TV, everything simultaneously. I was ecstatic…until I ran a fuel efficiency test. With a 2,000 W load, it ran for 1 hour 15 minutes on one gallon of gas. As I thought about what an outage would be like, I didn't like the thought of burning through 20 gallons of fuel every 24 hours (and that's only with a minimal load). That's 4 gas cans, and gas can be hard to find as I discovered during the winter storms that occurred In February 2021. The Wgen9500DF offers a ton of features that the Champion didn't offer. Most importantly, it's fuel efficiency is unrivaled in the open frame category. That same 2,000 W load should run for 2 hours 45 minutes on the same one gallon of gas. On top of that, you get one touch auto-choke start (champion has manual choke with starter switch), Remote start, dual fuel, a fuel gauge, and a considerably smaller and lighter package. As a plus, this generator arrived undamaged and the battery connection was much simpler to make than it was on the Champion generator. The only 2 things I'm sacrificing are 2,000W less of running/starting watts and the digital load meter. I'm mostly bummed about the lack of load metering but during the Champion testing, normal house was under 30% load so I know this generator has plenty of power to do what I need it to. Setup was fairly simple and moving it to the back yard was much easier than the 300+ lb Champion was. It fired up on the 2nd try and ran smoothly. I still need to hook it up to my 50A transfer switch and break it in, but given the thousands of highly positive reviews this unit has received, I'm confident it will perform flawlessly.

Options and portability

I am so happy to know that I have this powerful machine at my fingertips and with such easy hook ups with the quick connects for the natural gas I am confident that even if I am traveling anyone at the home can hook up and safely weather the storms ahead.

Great Product!

I bought the WGen9500DF for a backup generator for my home and camp. The generator arrived yesterday and was packaged very well, so no damage. First impressions while on boxing...this is a good-looking generator and looks to be well made. I followed the instructions for assembly which was quite easy and straight forward. I also followed the startup procedures which was also straight forward. I used propane to start and run the generator to test it out and started on the first crank. First, I started it from pressing the start button on the unit and it started right up. I let it run for a while then I stopped it from the button on the unit. Then I started the unit with the remote and it started first try and again I let it run for while then stopped it. Finally, I started it with the pull crank, and it was surprisingly easy to pull start and again it started right up and I let it run for a while. On the last test I plugged in some power tools and ran them to make sure everything was work and the gernerator never missed a beat. This weekend I plan to run through its paces and hold loads on it for up to 5 hours to break it in. So far, this is a great product that looks good, starts and runs good, not too loud, and is not that heavy to move around.
