Great Generator

I just assembled and ran for an hour, so far all good and running great, haven’t tested with load yet. Easy to follow instructions, wheels, handles, battery and oil/funnel included as well as spark plug socket wrench. Started immediately with one push of remote start same as one push button start without the need of moving the choke. Did not try with recoil start. Heavy as expected but with wheels is much more manageable to move around. It’s pretty loud as expected too, I ran it outside my attached garage but when I’m inside the house, it is a very minimum noise wherein you can have a decent normal conversation level. Hoping it will last for a long time with proper maintenance.

Awesome right out of the Box

We bought this unit for several purposes, possibility of power outages due to weather, having the ability to take it onto a camp site while at the lake and we are looking into building in a remote area where until were finished we wouldn't have electric available. This unit fits the bill perfectly. It is a little heavy to lug onto the back of the truck but rolling it via the handles onto a trailer is easy enough for myself or my wife if needed. I haven't needed it for long term use yet but I've been trying to put it through the paces with some loads and it works well. Not disappointed at all on starting or switching over the fuels and continuing running. Just wish it would work with natural gas also. Good job Westinghouse would recommend to anyone.

Great generator to power my house!

I bought this generator 4 months ago and am very glad I did. I live in a rural area & unfortunately lose power more than I care to admit. I love that it runs on gasoline, propane & natural gas. I have my house wired to transfer power to the generator as a back-up and love the peace of mind that comes with knowing I’ll have the essentials available no matter what happens

Well Built Unit With Excellent Features

I bought this unit a little over a month ago now. I installed a 50Amp Outlet on the exterior of my home and a 50 Amp breaker with a mechanical interlock with the main breaker. This has proven to be a really good solution at a substantially lower cost than a standby unit. Yes, I have to flip a couple breakers and roll the unit out my garage and plug it in but that about it. As infrequent power losses are, this is more than adequate for me. The remote start is awesome. I use it to start the unit after it plugged in and I have flipped the breakers in my breaker panel. It’s nice that you can shut the unit down to conserve fuel at night or when you leave and start and stop it suing the remote. Really a great idea. The solid tires are a really good move as well. I have used units with air filled tires before and they leak and it makes it very very difficult to move them. The one thing I would like to be different is the location of the 50A outlet on the unit would be for that outlet to be in a different spot, swapped with one of the other outlets. The issue is, the 50A outlet is located on the far right directly above the highest point of the wheel. This creates an obstruction to the natural position of the heavy 50A cable needed to connect to this outlet on the generator. (See attached photo) All of the other outlets require a much lighter duty cable, due to their lower power levels, therefore it would be much better to have one of those (perhaps the 120 vac outlets) above the wheel. It was quite difficult to manipulate the cable to use this outlet with a bottom exit cable which is the most common and safest solution in the event of rain, etc. I gave the unit a 4 Star rating specifically because of this design shortfall. If a 4.5 options was available, I would have selected it. If it wasn’t for this, I would have given a 5 star without a doubt.

Great Value

I bought this generator after lots of research from the lowest to the highest costing backup power options. We got lots of features with the Wgen9500DF for a great price which left us money to pay for wiring it into our home panel with a transfer switch. I love the fact that it’s all metal and built to last.

Shocked at all the great features

I just purchased the WGen9500DFc and can't believe all the features it has. From the push button start, the remote, and the charger for the battery. It is an incredible deal for the price and power. My only concern is I still haven't found the ECO switch and can't find any info to it's location.

Lots of Power - Can run entire all electric home.

Master Electrician recommeded this specific Generator, worked great. Our home is all electric in Tx where the electric grid is infamous. Dual fuel is ideal - 100 lb tank of propane and 5 gallons of gas should take care of us for a few days in survival mode. To Maximize efficiency of generator, I cut the load by Isolating recepticles for fridges on one dedicated circuit and Internet power & routers, TV etc. on another dedicated circuit. Now with breakers for things we don't need flipped of, and 5 of 22 breakers on, it never trips a breaker even with the electric heat pump running. Careful when choosing 240V cord to connect for Home back-up, 90° plugs are difficult to plug in because of relative location to wheel. If you can find a straight one, much easier to use.

Excellent Choice

Selected this generator after several months of research. We have had a couple of multiday power outages, so to ensure family health, comfort and safety, I chose this one. Easy setup, sturdy build and enough power to suit our needs. Started first time and ran like a champ. Very happy so far.

Westinghouse stands above its competitors

Very happy with the Westinghouse WGen9500DF. We wanted a generator capable of whole home backup power, some minor camping and also to power some tools. I haven't put it to an extreme test yet, but so far so good. Why I chose Westinghouse: Excellent price, dual fuel option, remote start key fob, 50amp plug comes standard, wheels and handle come standard. This generator stands apart from competitors because of these reasons and is why I chose to go with Westinghouse. Also, 3yr warranty. This generator is about as loud (more or less) as a riding lawn mower, which is to be expected. I have yet to have an electrician over to install a generator input plug on the house (and an interlock) but I will come back and update my review with any issues and or updates. My only complaint - the provided 1qt of oil isnt quite enough to get to the proper level. Only a minor issue for me.

Power Outage Ready in Texas

After thoroughly searching for a generator for some time. Settled on Westinghouse because of all the great reviews. Ordered online Tuesday and picked this Saturday. Easy assembly and set up right out the box. Started right up after 3 attempt with propane. I am feeling confident in the event of a power outage we will be fine. Will be using the 50Amp outlet direct feed to my service.
