Powered whole house without being too noisy

Just hooked up generator to the house everything ran 1 big fridge freezer, deep freezer regular fridge freezer and mini fridge air conditioner and pool motor with lights all worked no issues and surprisingly quiet for the motor size and power ran on gas but have not tried propane yet. Feel much better about going without power now.

9500df generator

Generator arrived in good condition. Put gas and oil in it and it started right up. Just got my power cord hooked up to transfer switch and tried it out. It handled 3 deep freezers and 2 refrigerators, a deep well pump and lights in my house and shop just fine. Can't wait to get propane line ran from my big tank to see how it does. Seems like a good product.

Great features

I bought this a little over a month ago. I was looking for a higher wattage generator, and this one seems to meet my needs. I have it set up to use in a power outage. I have not needed it yet, but it did well when the electrician and I tried it out.

Works well, but a minor gripe.

Bought this at the beginning of summer in order to ready for what has become annual multiple Public Safety Power Shutoffs. They last two to three days. We have also experienced one or two multi-day outages during each snow season here in the Sierra Foothills. We bought the generator from a local vendor and they delivered it all set up and ready to go. Had to have an electrician install a transfer box. We not only need the power to run our appliances and lights, but our well water is dependent on electrical power, as is our septic system. It works great!! We chose propane so we wouldn't have to wait in long, long lines that appear at the gas station every time their is a large power outage. One complaint: It is very difficult to drain the oil in order to change it. On my first try I made a mess on the floor next to the machine. I'm trying to jury-rig something to catch the oil and move it safely to a storage container. Westinghouse should either rethink the design so there is room to get it out safely, or provide some kind of adapter to get the oil past the obstructions.

Power Independence!!

Power Independence!!

I bought this item on 9/07/23. It arrived the next day, which was breathtakingly surprising. Well Done to the shipping company Estes. The unit was well-packaged on a pallet. It was easy to install the wheels and roll the generator off the pallet. Although I started the generator and let it run for about 20 minutes, I have not used it to power my whole house yet. I really appreciate the remote start and push button start options. The electrician is coming this week to install the inlet box, interlock switch, and soft starts for our 4 ton and 2 ton heat pumps. Once these units are installed, I will update this review to indicate how well the generator powers our whole house.

Can't wait to try it out.

Just received delivery. The unit was packed very well and so easy to assemble. Very good, clear directions. It definitely takes two people to get it off the shipping palette but once off, it is very manageable. In spite of its weight (over 300 lbs), it is very well balanced. Even my 71 yr. old wife was able to "wheelbarrow" it around. The electric start works perfectly and as described (automatic choke, restart, and idle). It is a little on the loud side but with all its power and features, I can live with the noise. When the next power outage hits, I think I'm ready.

Hope not to use it but will be ready if I do

There is a lot packed into this unit. This is a heavy duty unit from what I can tell. Initial impressions: Pros: It's duel fuel, which was the primary reason I purchased it. The push button start is nice. I just need to make sure all the switches are in the correct positions before starting. There is enough wattage to power those things that need to be powered in the event the power goes out. Cons: The battery comes unhooked so in order to hook the battery up, I had to take the wheel back off to get at the screws to get the battery out. The oil dipstick is designed in a way where I didn't notice if the rubber piece on the stick is supposed to be inserted all the way in or if it stops up to a point with some exposure. The temperature recommendations say the lowest to go is 5 degrees F. If the power goes out in Wisconsin on a cold winter day, it's below the 5 degree threshold so I won't know how the generator will work when it's that cold. Time will tell how this will work as this is just an initial view after setting it up today.

Best yet !

Living in Florida, I have three generators. This is the biggest and best yet ! This is my first dual fuel. Working on getting the correct tank for my use. It is all together and ready to go as soon as I get a tank. I have a family member that has a smaller Westinghouse, that is the reason for my purchase. I'm excited !

Great generator, full of extra features

I have looked at several generators and chose the Westinghouse wgen12000df because of the features and excellent reviews. When it arrived at my home I followed the startup instructions and it started right up and has run perfectly since. This is a great generator!

What a Beast

We just recently bought the 9500 model generator but knew we wanted another so we went a little larger and got the 12000 model. We are very impressed, this thing is a beast. I wanted a cover for it, but they didn't carry one. I bought a grill cover and it fit just fine. We are definitely happy, just hoping that we do not have to actually use it this hurricane season.
