I did some research prior to purchasing and was looking for a portable generator with power to spare, quality construction and dual fuel capability...the remote start was a plus. Assembly was straight forward out of the box, oil also included. We tend to lose power fairly often & we've already used this once for about 8 hours, performance & ease of use was outstanding. It is a bit noisy though, find a spot away from open windows!

Living in an area where tropical storms can knock out power for an extended time, having a reliable generator is a must. This generator doubles the power of my last one and will run everything in my house except for the central A/C, and I have a portable unit for that. Because its portable I can store it away when its not needed rather than having a permanent unit sitting outside. Why did I choose this one? Fuel efficiency, brand name and reliability. The other brand I was researching was very similar to this one, but used almost twice as much fuel! That's a big deal. Westinghouse has been around a long time, and the reliability reviews of others are solid. Very happy with this generator!

Bought this generator to replace one used as backup to the solar system at our mountain cabin. Easy to assemble & hook up. No problem pairing the remote starter. Did require the propane company to install a step down regulator on our 1000 gal tank to obtain the correct pressure. Runs like a champ and powers the entire cabin without a problem. Is surprisingly quiet for a generator this big. The ability to start the generator from the cabin when it's raining or snowing is a fantastic feature.

Directions were clear, easy to assemble. Filled the fluids and it started right up. I haven't had to use it to run the house yet, but my friend is an electrician and said it should be fine, size-wise, to run my small house when the power's out. So far, so good!

Love the concept of it worked. Started hard when I first got it home, but figured out it had to be manually choked and crank over about a dozen times to start. Then less than a year later it has electrical issues and will not even turn over. Will see how good the warranty service is.

We were deeply humbled when this last hurricane hit us last month. We were no strangers to hurricanes, severe storms, and flooding. So when the power went out at 5 am, we were expecting it to return by noon. It took over 5 days for Centerpoint to restore power to our house. This was a rude awakening, especially since temperatures were in the 90's with 90% humidity. We lost a lot of our frozen game, even though we grilled for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After extensive research, we settled on this Westinghouse Generator. We have a liquid propane refilling station a couple of miles away, which made this generator a no brainer. After running it through it's break in process, we were confident it would serve us well once the next storm hits us. Kinda bummed it doesn't have a 12v output but with all of the plugs, it shouldn't be a problem. I appreciate the spark plug cross reference chart for other brands, just in case we need to replace it in an emergency.

The generator started immediately, right out of the box. I ran it for over an hour, just to test it. It powered the whole house, no problem. I ran it up to 46 amps at 240V, almost full load, with no problem. Noise level is reasonable, for a gen of this size.

With 50 amp service: tri-fuel capable, this generator is perfect for a home with minimal heat loads (electric furnace/water heater/dryer; kitchen range; air conditioning?). I fully expect my expectations will be met by this Westinghouse quality generator.

Early field trials are perfect - remote start worked out of the box with no setup required, ran the test load I threw at it for starters (refrigerator plus two garage door openers at once) but real proof will come when the chips are down. Make sure the Main Breakers are in the Up or ON position before you try to start it - not in the manual but made the difference from start-up attempt 1 to 2. Feature set is a plus too - dual fuel and up to 50 amp connectors give you lots of options.

After many hours of research, I ordered the Westinghouse model WGN 9500 DFC. I followed instructions getting ready to start. It started right up and everything worked OK. Every time I have started it it has worked very good, and I feel ready now for any power outage that might happen. I would recommend the Westinghouse model WGN 9500 DFC do anyone needing a generator to power anything 9500 W or less
