Everything has worked smoothly and operation is very straightforward. This is a high output solid unit. I only gave it 4 stars because there should have been a quick start guide rather than sifting through the manual for information needed to get going.

I purchased this generator to hook up to our home, as a power backup. I had previously installed a 30amp breaker and outlet, to use our sons generator, which is rotting away in our shed. His generator is very difficult to pull start and unreliable. According to my wife, there was no way she would be able to start it, should I be hurt or unavailable. This is a wonderful step up. What I Like: It is VERY easy to start. Has a large push button start that activates the engine immediately. Has a remote start Key FOB that worked from our windowless basement, 12 feet down and 25 feet away from the generator. (It is where our electric panel is located.) Outside Noise level is acceptable, no louder than a log splitter or mower. After putting a gallon of gas in I tried to start it. It cranked, however did not start. Added another gallon of gas and we were, Off to the Races. Started & Worked Perfect. I disconnected the 'Bonded Neutral," since we are plugging directly to the house, and the house circuit box is grounded. Comes with all the accessories needed to get up and running including a Battery Charger! Did require a little more oil than provided. Very pleased with this purchase. We have a large home; well pumps, sewer pumps, circulating pump for tap water, outdoor wood burning furnace with underfloor heating installed, which requires additional water pumps. And of course refrigerators, furnace fan and lighting.This generator can easily handle the load. I do not think we will be washing and drying clothes during a power outage, so I am not considering that option. The manual was very helpful. It depicts exactly how to 'unbond the neutral,' on the generator. Very smart to have included both a 30amp & 50amp plugin on the generator. I can use our existing 30 amp outlet. I have run 6 gauge wire and will be hooking up a 50amp outlet..

This is a follow up review. I have been using my new WGen9500DF generator for a week and it has not skipped a beat. Perfect in everyway, no complaints. It runs flawlessly on either gasoline or propane. On a cold generator using propane, it take 2 start attempts to get the generator primed for starting, but it starts on the second or third attempt. When the generator is warmed up, it starts immediately. I have used propane generators for years and I consider this normal start-up procedure for a propane generator. The starter battery has plenty of power, and the automatic start sequence does a beautiful job. I've connected the generator to my generator transfer switch and ran everything in the house, except central air, with no problem. Instead of central air I use three window a/c units which provide plenty of cooling for my 1,800 sq./ft home here in Florida. I am very happy with this generator and I would certainly recommend this generator to anyone in the market to buy one. Thank you Westinghouse for building a phenomenal generator.

Ordered this on July 6, Came in and was in perfect condition, all assessories were probide as advertised, Hooked up the NG line and fired right up , This is a great product for the money, I live in South Louisiana and hurricanes are a risk every year. i have full confidence in this product to get me through the hurricane seasons

I bought this to power an 1150 SqFt home during Florida hurricanes.I like the fact that I can use LP and Gasoline interchangeably. I keep it on the maintenance charger (included in the packaging) in my garage. It tucks nicely into a corner until its needed. Hope I dont need to use it anytime soon but I feel confident that I'll have power if a storm takes the grid out.

Generator finally arrive and what a beauty. Nicely packed and easy assembly (wheels and feet). I ran it on gas for an hour with a load of 2200 watts, then and hour on propane with 4000 watts (house and A/C included). Worked like a champ and voltage stayed at 237 volts at 4k watts. Could use to be a little quieter, otherwise a great unit. Would definitely recommend!

Bought this generator after a lengthy power outage in January, I power it through propane. Surprisingly quiet and can light most of my house's essential items. It is easy to move around (and was easy to assemble). Very sturdy item that I got at a great price. Looking for it to last many many years

I just now got it set up. A friend who just recently got a more expensive one was amazed at how much better this one is. It is so powerful, has dual fuel capacity, a remote starter, easily transportable and starts right up with remote. I am so pleased with my purchase.

Ordered this generator after a major Northeast storm that knocked out power for a few days before Christmas. Arrived after power was restored, so I have not gotten to fully try it out. Assembly was easy. Seems well made. Heavier than you might expect. I did need more than the 1 quart of 4-stroke, 10W30 oil that was included to reach the fill on the dipstick. Started easily. I've spoken to an electrician about installing a manual transfer switch, and they feel I will be able to power my whole house with this generator. (Purchased to power refrigerator, chest freezer, sump pump, furnace and water/well pump.) My only concern is that the owner's manual says not to expose to snow and/or rain. Since I bought to use when we loose power due to weather, I'll need to consult electrician as to how to achieve this. Looking forward to getting this set-up and ready to go.

This product exceeded my expectation. It was shipped safely, arrived on time and was delivered where I needed it. The generator itself works perfectly. It connected easily to my house connection. I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend to others.
