We have frequent power outages and this fills our need for back-up power. Had the power company install a whole house disconnect unit under the electric meter. This unit plugs into the disconnect unit and then can supply power to any circuit in the house simply by turning breakers on and off as needed.

I just bought this unit after struggling for a few years with an older gas only unit. Arrived nicely packaged on a pallet. It was easy to assemble and prep for startup. I plan to run primarily with propane, and this was an easy setup process too. Ran the unit for a few hours with varying loads to break it in and it is now ready to run through my transfer switch. Couldn't be happier with this investment.

During the assembly I had a problem - two captive nuts were missing for the feet. I got the appropriate nuts at Homedepot and finished the assembly. However, I love this generator. After assembly, putting in oil and gas, etc., I pressed the Start button and it tried to start but failed. It automatically paused and tried again. It started on the third try. It was so cool just standing there watching it get itself started.

I just purchased the Wgen9500DF generator to upgrade and replace my Generac GP6500. The Westinghouse offers more power and features for the money. Added a interlock switch to my home breaker panel and outlet to plug this unit in and power my home. I have only used it for testing purposes, but I am prepared for a power outage now.

We have lived in our home for 15 years and just now decided to get a generator. The power where we live goes out quite often during the winter storms. We are looking forward to warmth and lighting throughout our sometimes cold, wet and windy winters!

This item was a Christmas gift from my wife. I had not unpacked it until a few days ago due to bad weather here in San Antonio. We experienced power outage and I was able to power 3 appliances including lighting. Generator did a great job keeping power to these items while using propane. I will truly recommend this item.

I purchased this in December 2020. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy to assemble it was. It only took about 15 Min. The handle makes it easy to move around. I have used it a few times since. Every time it has started on the first try. (I am using gas but I have a tank of propane on hand) The ability to use either gas or propane was one of the reasons I chose this unit. I use it to power my home during blackouts, and it has handled the load with out a problem. It has many other good features also. Overall I am very happy with the performance of this unit.

After power outages last winter and expecting more this year we decided to purchase a portable generator. After doing a lot of research and reading reviews I decided on the Wgen9500df and am really glad I did. Shipping and delivery were great. Assembly and starting instructions were very clear and easily understandable. Filled it with gas and and pushed the start button , it took a couple of cranks and started right up. First thing I noticed was how steady it idled and it really isn't very loud. One very important thing to us is having power to pump our well. Our well is 485' deep with a 3hp 240v pump and also a 3/4 hp jet pump. No problem operating our well even with all lights and heat on in the house.

Product arrived earlier than expected. Looks great! Can't wait to prep and be prepared for the unexpected. We survived a hurricane and this would've been great to have during the weeks of power outages. My wife is excited because she'll be able to start it with ease when there's another power loss.

So far so good. Easy assembly and started immediately. Fob, pull and push button all work as they should. Only tested it so far, but looks great and powerful. Reading the spec manual it says not to operate for extended periods below 5F. We lose power in Iowa we could well be below that. Put in 5W30 synthetic (allowable in the manual) as a precaution, instead of using the oil provided.
