I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter so she has not used it yet. But it is a very nice generator with all the features we were looking for. It looks to be of excellent quality and it’s actually much nicer than even the pictures showed. We are giving it to her tomorrow as an early present so we will be trying it out tomorrow. We’re very excited about it.

For powering your home: Step 1. Have an electrician install a transfer switch. This is a separate but necessary item. Step 2. Purchase a Recreational Vehicle (RV) power cord to run the power from your generator into your home. I purchased a 25 foot 50A RV power cord with twist lock from the world's most famous online retailer. Step 3. Follow the Quick Start start directions that come with the generator and you will have your generator assembled and fueled within 30 minutes. Step 4. Charge your battery for an hour. Step 5. Start your generator. Note that it took my generator 7 attempts to draw the fuel and oil from their tanks and into the engine so the generator could run. Step 6. Test your generator's ability to power your home. This generator is able to power my refrigerator, meat freezer, lights and air-conditioner (for cooling ONLY) all at the same time. I can also turn of my AC and power my oven and range. Step 7. Disconnect your generator and go to sleep knowing that you have the ability to power your home with a great dual-fuel generator that fits into the bed of a pickup truck.

We bought this generator in 2021. We got hit by hurricane Ian in Cape Coral, our generator died on us shortly after, we called several times to help us with the generator, in the long run they helped us get a new generator. We spoke to a very nice lady who followed up with us! Customer service is great!

I bought this a month ago. I researched on various generators and I kept coming back to this one. Nice features and it started right up by pushing the button. I tried to start it with the recoil, but couldn't get it started. I am not sure if I did something wrong. Overall happy with it. Hopefully it lasts a long time.

I shopped for a week and found this to be the best value considering everything that comes with this model. Enough power to power all the household essentials. Push button start plus remote FOB so the wife can easily turn it on. And transfer switch ready.

I had inlet box and interlocking device installed by an electrician. The remining part to connect with a 50 A transfer cable and turn on is a snap. The propane option is excellent that I always have a tank for BBQ and the fuel does not go bad after long storage as we expect only occasional uses to support internet and aquarium aeration during power outages. I expect maintenance to be easier than gasoline fuel as well. The unit is very cost effective in terms of power/cost ratio.

This new portable generator is a vast improvement over my previous generator, manufactured 20+ years ago. The new Westinghouse looks fantastic, starts easy,, and runs smooth. I've waited almost six months to submit this review, expecting to lose power in the meantime and have more than short test runs to evaluate the generator, but no power outages have occured from March thru August. The generator is heavier than expected and I'm glad a young strong grandson lives here with me to help move it. The generator is plumbed into the second electrical breaker box. There's enough generator power to do everything I need, except for water heater, clothes dryer, range, and oven. The microwave can be used at partial power, and at full power if other electrical stuff is turned off. I can even use the generator to power my geothermal system heat pump, but only when the outdoor temp is greater than 20 degrees F. The electrical resistance heating would use far more power but doesn't turn on until it's less than 15 degrees outside at my home. May ask geothermal tech to install a separate switch to turn off electrical resistance heaters when the generator is the only power source.

We just bought this one week ago so have not used it yet, but it started right up with propane fuel! We are happy to have dual gas/propane option. And push button start makes it super easy to start. It should support most of our house when we need it!

The WGen9500DF appears very well manufactured with a lot of thought going into the features it offers, such as remote start, dual fuel operation, automatic choke, and included battery trickle charger. The motor started immediately on propane and produces plenty of power for my whole home. (I turn off my electric water heater to avoid the possibility of an overload situation).

I mainly purchased this unit for the duel fuel. I plan to run only propane. As I was lax on maintaining fresh gas fuel. I believe using propane only will work nicely. Having the unit for about 2 weeks, I have nt needed to use it. But it starts and runs fine. Also when I pulled my house transfer switch to test for power to my house, I did nt get the change in sound to the generator as when using gas. It was as if there was drag on the unit. And because of no drag adjustment sound, I thought that maybe power was nt getting to the house. But it was. With the propane , I feel more confident that I could count on the unit starting when I need it! So far I m very happy with my purchase.
