Great features. Beautiful, well built unit.

Hurricane season is upon us so thought I should invest in a portable generator. After much research I decided on the Westinghouse WGen9500DFc. The generator was received in perfect condition. Well packaged and protected. The instructions to attach the front feet and wheels and add the oil were easy to follow and only took a few minutes. They included all the necessary tools and even a funnel to use to add the oil. Well done! Attached the battery connectors and added some fuel. The generator started right up. I let it run for about 10 minutes and it ran very well. I am very happy with this purchase.

Transfer Switch Ready?

I purchased the WGen9500DF to power my small house and shop during Davey Tree Power outages (PGE NorCal). Upon receiving the generator and setting it up, I ran it on propane for an hour. This thing is a beast! The remote works perfectly. Starting and stopping the generator from inside the house. (within line of site) I found that it was necessary to change the oil after that first hour test/break in, because there appeared to be enough metallic debris in the oil to warrant it. I found it easy to drain and refill the oil in the generator without making a mess. A little over a quart of oil is cheap insurance that our new Westinghouse generator will last a Long time. The only disappointment was that the air filter was not installed correctly at the factory. The outer portion of the two stage filter was Not fitted in the filter box correctly so the filter box cover cut into it. I called customer service for a replacement. Also "transfer switch ready" appears to mean that I have to use the Westinghouse ST switch, with extension cords to have the generator automatically start for back up power. I called tech support and have yet to hear back.

New 9500tfc generator

Just purchased today. Unboxed installed wheel and feet kit. Filled with supplied oil. Connected supplied lp gas regulator assembly. Followed specific starting instructions and it fired right up. Also tried starting manually and with FOB. Flawlessly started and works perfect! Great unit and couldn't be happier!!

Very nice generator!

I've only had this generator a few days now. I purchased this to replace a smaller one that is 30 years old. I only use when loosing power at my house, which is happening more often than several years ago. I have started it with gasoline and natural gas and even switched back and forth will it was running. So far, this generator is fantastic and has a lot of extras, including a remote and Carbon monoxide detector.

Exactly what we needed!

After much research, we decided on this one because it is exactly what we needed to service multiple items on both sides of our duplex. We paired this with (1) 30A cable and (2) 20A t-blade extension cords. It is a bit loud, but that's less of an issue since it provides so much power. Next up is building a vented, sound-dampening enclosure though!

Excellent Generator

I have owned several portable generators over the years from various manufacturers, but none have really stood out as far as features or overall performance. Well, that has change with the WGen9500TFc. To start with, the tri-fuel option is a very nice feature. Having the option to use various types of fuel comes in handy, especially when gas prices are up. A simple turn of a knob allows you to switch from one fuel source to another. The control panel is nicely set up and easy to understand and has a visual display showing output voltage along with other useful info about the unit. With four 20 amps outlets, one 30 amp and one 50 amp, you will be able to run whatever tool or appliance needed. The unit starts easily and runs smoothly. The addition of a remote start/stop key fob is an added plus. I highly recommend this generator and would not hesitate to purchase it.

Beefy and Strong

Just purchased new WGEN 9500DF. Arrived in great shape. Easy to set up out of the box. Started right up. Bought it as back up for two sump pumps and a few other things in the house. If I loose power when lots of rain, my basement will flood. Fortunately I haven't needed it and hope to never need it. But it sure feels great knowing I am protected. I also do some handy work around the house and this will sure come in handy for some power tools if needed.

Started Up First Try

This generator is really nice! Very well packaged on a pallet so I was confident there was no damage from being in transit. Followed the simple quick start guide and it started on the very first try using propane...that way I did not have to drain gasoline after testing. Can't wait to use it for the next power outage.

Simply amazing

Although it took longer than expected to receive, it was definitely worth the wait. This generator runs our entire house with no problems. After doing some research I could have purchased a smaller unit, but more power is always better and this 9500 watt generator does not disappoint.

WGen9500TFc is a great machine!

We just finish setup with the plumber and electrician to be able to run natural gas and fired it up today. We were real pleased with how quickly it started with the push button start. Ran it for an hour without a load and it ran flawlessly. We know this will be a great advantage next time we're without power. After all our research we chose the Westinghouse WGen9500TFc and we couldn't be more pleased.
