Great generator! Would recommend to friends and family. Smooth and quiet running. It was easy to assemble however one of the bolt holes that the wheel mounts up to got a little plugged during the powder coating process and I had a hard time starting the bolt. If you run into this problem simply thread the bolt in from the back side to clean out the threads. Remove the bolt and reinstall it according to the directions. Super quick and easy fix. Other than that small little hitch....great product! You wont be disappointed.

Just received my generator 3 days ago. Showed up on the day it was promised. Followed the direction easily. Started right up. Still need to have the cord made up so I can connect to my house. I'm almost ready for our first big winter storm here in Maine.

I bought this Generator Saturday and it now Tuesday and is already here. Came in great shape strapped to a shipping pallet and place at my shop door. I put it together in no time and started right up and runs great, I will send another review in a month or so.

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.

I am a user manual reader, this the best manual I have seen in a very long time. Easy to understand instructions with good pictures to reference. Most of the unit is pre assembled, just got to add the wheels and the front legs, and connect the battery ( which already charged). Filled my unit with the provided engine oil and added some gas to the tank. I rotated the engine a couple of times to lubricant the engine. I opened the fuel valve, hit the remote starter fob and it started right up, plugged in a couple fans and an electric heater and had no problems. I am waiting for the 30amp to arrive and I will have a certified electrician install it with a new breaker generator interlock. The 9500 is big enough to run my whole house besides the 220 v stuff. It is about as loud as I expected and I will be building sound box for my wife and neighbors.

Arrived very quickly. Very easy to move with wheels and lift handle for me and my wife. Lifts and moves like a 25lb item for a 200+ Generator. The battery came fully charged. This is our third generator and this is by far the best. Easy to register our new Generator online for warranty.

We got this generator to power our home in case of storms and/or blackouts. Not much faith in our depleting grid. This is at least peace of mind. Overall great machine with great features. Assembly was pretty quick, install wheels and supplied oil. Gas it up and connect the battery. Started right up no issues. Haven't got the wiring ready on the house yet but I'm sure this machine will be just fine. And the dual fuel option is pretty awesome too.

Bought the dual fuel generator for security and peace of mind we can weather any storm and power outage that comes our way. I can crank it with the push button start without waiting on husband to crank it. Hope this will last for years. Feels solid and well made!!

After using a recoil start generator and struggling to get it running, this unit's push button start feature, breaker system, and choices of outlets, makes it a pleasure to use. The large wheels make moving the unit relatively easy process even on hard packed sand.

The item was very well packed and arrived in good condition. The instructions for assembly were clear and assembly was easy. The manual should be updated as to battery connection. The terminals were already installed, all I had to do was connect the polarized plug to connect the battery instead of screw the leads on the battery. That was great. After that, the manual falls short. The assembly instructions stop on page 13, and goes right into the features. There is no mention of adding oil until you get to page 20 which refers you to "See Checking Engine Oil." without a page reference. So I have to search for that in the Table of Contents and go to maintenance section on page 26. Now I have to go back to page 20 and start again. I thought that the setup and preparation for initial operation instructions were too scattered throughout the manual and sometime incomplete For example, on page 22 under Operation, paragraph 3 says "Make sure the circuit breakers are properly set (see Figure 8)." OK, but figure 8 shows the circuit breakers in both the Operating and Tripped position, and doesn't say which is "proper" for starting. Now I know the breakers need to be in the operating position to provide power, but do I want them tripped for startup? I would have liked to see more of an initial setup that walks you straight through all the items needed to check, fill, or service to be ready to start. Very much like a Quick Start guide. Then go into the Before Starting the Generator section which outlines the ventilation, location, grounding requirements, power cord size, etc. I would also like to see a fluid specification chart that tells me the gasoline requirements/capacity as well as the engine oil type and capacity. All on one page or in one paragraph in the initial setup section I proposed.
