I bought this generator only couple of weeks ago after extended search and checking, reading many reviews . Wgen9500DF always come out on the top or close to it. Unpacking and assembly was a snap. Oil included and the battery was charged. Electric start at first time did required the setting of the choke (The Quick Start Guide didn't ask for it) but then started right away. Load testing at ~2kW went fine, the engine idled and rev up nicely as the load came on line and cycled. Since the generator just a fairly expensive insurance policy against outages the real value of it I'll learn later, preferably much later. Until that I cannot judge reliability or peak-load performance. The generator has a good array of outlets and safety features. I like the digital display however a watts readout function would be useful. I'm not sure the real life value of a remote starter since you have to turn on the fuel valve somehow, but nice to have one. Overall I'm very satisfied for now and hope it will stay that way.

We bought this only recently, and have not tried it out yet. That being said, the unit looks great and has a lot of nice features (remote start, dual fuel, ample wattage). Only hiccup so far was an issue with the wheel installation. The one axle hole was too small, and the wheel couldn't go on. We eventually reached a service rep who told us this was an issue multiple customers were having, so they advised us to hit the axle pin with a hammer. (Not something we were going to do without their say so! Didn't want to void the warranty before we even used it...) Thankfully, this solution worked for us. Now we're just waiting for the electrician to hook us up with an outlet and an interlock kit, and we'll be good to go. Hoping we don't have to use it anytime soon, but are happy we have it on hand in case we do!

I bought this for my husband and myself of course, as we live in a rural area, that tends to have several power outages, from rain & wind storms to Snow or ice storms. We have been left "in the dark" too many times, I did some searching for generators, and looked at MANY reviews, and this one seem to have the best, and what we were looking for. It has enough running watts to run our chest freezer, sump pump, refrigerator, furnace, lights and more! has a push button start, even a key fab, It is very user friendly. It is not too loud, We now are not nervous during storms in case the power goes out, this generator can run 17.5 hours on a full 6 gallon tank of gas. I highly recommend!

This is my second Westinghouse portable generator. The first generator has worked flawlessly over the last 4 years and this larger, dual fuel generator appears to be even nicer, with many added features. It started right up out of the box (after adding oil) and everything tests out perfectly.

Just purchased and haven't had a chance to use it yet. It is heavy at over 200 lbs. Gas cap is very large and I thought good until I started pouring fuel in. Due to a debris catcher had to pour slowly. Make sure you cut on the fuel cutoff before attempting to start it if using gas. Started after a few attempts.

Purchased after hurricane passed over, was easy to follow instructions and prepped generator wgen9500DF for use with propane. The large no flat tires and properly weighted frame make it easy to maneuver. Pleased with purchase and feel more secure with the generator.

This generator is very well-packaged and everything for assembly is thought of. It includes oil, wrenches to pop the wheels on, etc. The outlet panel is very sturdy and well laid-out. It even has a plug-in battery maintainer to ensure the on-board starter battery is always ready to go. No gasoline residue in tank or carburetor when brand new, so very easy to maintain if you plan on using propane only from the get-go.

Overall nice product that I've been quite happy with. Did have some trouble getting the generator to start the first time. I found that the amount of oil included in the bottle that came with the generator was not enough. Had to put and buy some more to top off the oil before the generator would run. Unit definitely requires some upkeep, and if you're from a younger generation like me that may be a bit daunting if unfamiliar with combustion engine mechanics.

I bought this generator last week and was able to unpack it on Saturday. I haven't had an opportunity to put it completely through its paces, but the instructions on how to install the wheels and vibration stops on the front were clear and installation took less than 30 minutes. The power seems cleans, the manual is complete and warranty registration process was easy to complete online. I look forward to using it at our cabin property for many years to come. The diagrams and schematics are a valuable inclusion for the manual. I will add more as I have a chance to put it to its full intended use.

I bought this generator to replace the much smaller one I have that I was using to power my living quarters of my horse trailer which was actually to small,, it would have a hard time running the A//C on my trailer. However this new generator WGen9500 is big enough to run the whole trailer and then some!!!!! An it is big enough to run the house if it ever needs to.. I love this generator it is nice looking and easy to operate...
