Just Purchased

Just purchased for 100% off-grid power. Easy setup and quick start. For the price compared to other brands, you get more power, more outlets and better (plastic) tires...and you're going to need them as this thing is practically immovable without them.

Best of Class

After a lot of research, I settled on the WGen9500DF because of all of the features. The use of Gas and Propane, Push Button Start, Remote-Start, Smart Switch Connection Port, Battery Charger Port and Westinghouse even provided the Battery Tender/Charger. This generator carries all of the homes essentials, Well Pump, Both Refrigerators, Home Office/Computer/Network Equipment, all the Lights/Receptacles, Cloth Washer and Dryer and even the Stove. The only item missing is the Hot Water Heater and we re-charge it by isolating the Well Pump and the Stove during the cycle.

Easy setup and use!

I purchased the WGEN9500DF last month in preparation for hurricane season in Florida after doing a lot of research. This is a versatile generator with lots of features and power to handle just about any situation whether it's a power outage, RV camping, or as a whole house generator if you install a transfer switch. Setup was easy although the unit is pretty heavy without the wheels and feet installed so be careful. Once those are on moving it is easy. My unit took the entire bottle of oil initially that came with it just FYI so you might want to purchase some extra 10w30. The battery was already connected to the terminals but there are 2 connectors in between the unit and the battery that need to be connected. The instructions only talk about hooking up the terminal connectors but that's already done. I've only used the propane so far just to make sure it worked and wouldn't leave gas inside while storing. It fired up like a champ on the first try with the push button start. After shutting it down, I plugged the battery in to charge so we're good to go for hurricane season. Hopefully we won't need to use it... :)

Well Built Unit

Purchased this 9500KW Generator after our Western NC disaster. My old generator failed within the first 24Hrs after losing power. After regaining power, saw this Westinghouse Unit on sale at a great price. Received the new unit, unpacked and began final setup. Installation instructions are well written, so setup was simple. Added fuel, gasoline, using the remote key FOB, the unit started within 3 seconds. Unit handled the load I applied with no problem. Load included a 208VAC well pump, 208VAC Hot water Heater, Oil Furnace, Freezer, two refrigerators, Microwave oven, TV and multiple lights. This unit also supports using propane and natural gas as a fuel source. This unit appears to be well built, so I expect to get many years of service from this Westinghouse Unit. I am very pleased with this generator and would recommend it as a backup power unit

Features

Just purchased this unit for house backup power. Waiting on power company to intall transfer switch to test unit. Arrived in excellent shape, packaged very good. This unit comes with oil, funnel, regulator for lpg, and trickle charger to boot. The remote start was also a deciding factor in purchase.

Starts right up!

Just got this the other day so I cannot say how it works under high loads or for long periods of time, but out the box it started right up after adding oil. It has great features like remote start and duel fuel. Seems to roll easily with the no flat wheels. So far it is a great generator and looks to be built solid.

Powerful, Dual Fuel, Attractive Design

Ordered online and got it delivered yesterday. I assembled the wheels and front stands, filled with the provided oil and started it on Propane. Left it work with no loads for 30 minutes, then put some gas in the tank and switch the fuel source on gas. Engine works stable. The design is great, well painted, love the blue color. Affordable price for all the features and electric power. One think that I don't like - it's very loud, even deafening. I got it as a power backup at home, but have no idea where to hide it and run it in case of a need. My neighbors will hate me in a radius of 300 yards around me. I think the manufacturer should really invest in some sort of a muffler. Other than that, the electric start, remote start and all type electric outlets make it a great tool. On a side note, when running on a propane - I like it much better, it's less louder, not an exhaust smell, clean air. Bottom line - I will keep it, will use it and will recommend it to anyone looking for a generator backup at home, or performing contractors work, where no power source is available

Nice solid generator

I bought this to replace an old 6500W generator that had just worn out. This one is grat and pretty much runs anything I want in my house, even if not all at once. The electric start is a real luxury for me, getting too old to pull that crank. The built in charger is well place and the wheels and handle make it easy to move around.

Excellent Machine

I searched thoroughly before committing to this unit. The Westinghouse name is a familiar one but maybe not for most when it comes to power equipment. I had experience with the company as I purchased a Westinghouse power washer about a year ago. That unit has proven itself along with the company. The TSC web site had 000's of positive reviews for the generator so I was inclined to purchase. I followed the instructions for set up which included adding gas and oil. Next was pairing the remote start key fob. The instructions were clear but the remote was not behaving as expected. After two failed attempts, I pushed the Start button for no real reason. The unit started to fire right up and scared me in the process. The only reason it didn't start was that the gas valve was OFF. As soon as I turned it on, the remote start kicked in on the first attempt. Very happy with the preparation and performance.

Game changer

I purchased a 9500 watt generator as an emergency backup and waiting to install a transfer switch for safer use. However already fired it up and it’s extremely easy to operate and works flawlessly. They even sent first quart of oil. Unit is noticeably quieter than other ones I’ve used in the past. Game changer!!!
