Great Generator! Easy and powerful!

We purchased this generator a week ago and are so pleased! Power goes out in our area more often than we’d like and this gives us lots of peace of mind. It’s so easy, I, a housewife can hook it up and start if needed. I love the key fob for remote start and that it can power the necessities of our home when the power goes out. We love the duel fuel, the compact size for the power it provides, and the price point. We don’t regret this purchase!

GREAT LITTLE MACHINE

I needed this machine for the next time power goes out to run our well system. I had a plug box installed on the outside of the building which is run into my main breaker box. This generator was very easy to assemble and started right up out of the box. The remote control feature and the included battery charger was a definite selling point for me. All other generators this was an additional cost, It handles what we need very well.

Easy to use the first time for beginners

We lost our Cabin in Butte County during the California wildfires in 2020. We are just starting now to rebuild. We only have our pump house working. PG&E hasn't gotten power hooked up for us yet because we need a structure and have to be living up there, so we use the generator to run the pump when we are there. It was easy the first time. We like the option of the DF this allows us not to drain the tank each time. Propane is a great option.

KILLER DEAL!

Bought this generator after searching and comparing for months after out last major power outage. The WGen9500DF has more than enough watts to run necessary breakers on my house, including the A/C and pool pumps! Remote start was not looked at initially but I love the feature. The generator is built strong and doesn't have plastic parts other than the wheels, which would be my only negative input on this generator. Will the wheels last, most likely, but id like to see better wheels if I could change anything. Overall, I am really pleased with the generator!

Great Features

The Westinghouse WGen9500 is, arguably, the best 9,500W generator on the market. I say this because it is a truly reliable machine with a great power output and outstanding fuel economy. It is also one of the more affordable options for anyone considering a 9,500W portable generator that’s tough enough to cope with both residential and jobsite power requirements.

I love this generator!

I got this generator around April 2020, and love it. We got it to use for the normal summer power outage we usualy have during the heavy thunderstorms we get. Haven't had to hook it to the house yet, but we have used it camping and it works great. This generator has powered everything we've hooked to it without any problems. After assembly, filling with the included bottle of oil, and gas (not included of course), I used the recoil starter (pull cord) first to see how many pulls it would take to get started. To my surprise this thing fired up on the first pull. I didn't think the gas had enough time to fill the carb when it fired! The electric start worked just as good. The remote was easy to program and works well. I only have two, very minor, inconveniences to mention to ensure this is an complete and accurate review. Neither of which would prevent me from purchasing this generator, or any other Westinghouse product, in the future. The first is the oil capacity. 1.1 L/1.16 qt. This capacity leaves you with almost, but not quite, a quart of oil floating around until you need to change the oil again. I wouldn't be against buying a 1.1 L bottle of oil from Westinghouse if it was available. I might even pay a little extra for the added convenience of not having an open oil bottle to keep track of for a couple of months - just a thought. The other is that the open end wrench in the tool kit (I was surprised that it had a tool kit, so this is definitely NOT a complaint) doesn't fit the oil drain plug on the engine. Neither of these would prevent me from buying this generator over again, or any other product from Westinghouse in the future. Overall, I LOVE this generator!!!

Very solid built unit and user friendly

I bought this end of November/ early December and it has worked very well for me. It comes with a little tool bag to service it as well as oil and a cool funnel to make it easy to fill the oil. I have only run it on gasoline but I bet it runs great on propane as well. The key fob remote start is very nice also

Easy Setup

I just received the 9500. It was incredibly easy to set up, right out of the box. I added the supplied oil and fuel and it started right up on the first pull. I then tried the electric start and the remote start fob and for each of them the start was effortless and immediate.I can't wait for our next power failure to be able to put this generator to full use.

Power outage use

Bought it a month ago and set it up with house plug and 50 amp cable to run our well and major house needs. Just a week later we lost our power as a result of the big lightning storm in California. Worked fine. Only complaint so far is that the 50 amp outlet on the unit is too close to the wheel. The only plug and cord we could find has a 90 degree angle and we had to take off the wheel. The Westinghouse 50 amp cable was out of stock at the time we ordered the unit.

Backup power with convenience

Just received my WGen9500DF. The set up was straightforward and took about 25 min, as I took my time. Battery was charged and it started up nicely once gas got ro the carburetor. Ran smooth and shut down with fuel cut off to keep carb clean. I will add loads later to get a sense of performance. Very pleased with this purchase so far.
