Bought this unit after we lost power for 11 days last year. We had to rent a generator( smaller in size) and the cost of the rental for 11 days was more than the purchase price of this one. Haven't had to use it yet. Just unboxed it to assemble the wheels and feet. I like that it has 3 different start options. It will be easy to maneuver and set up by myself if and when it is needed. It is quite heavy. Our box came with oil spilled on it from transport but was otherwise is good condition.

Have not had to use it in real life but so far it is as described. Set up was simple and only issue was the oil provided only filled it to the low level mark so had to add extra oil to bring the level up to safe level. Started up quickly with no issues and I run a electric drill off the 120 volt port. Tried the battery charger and worked great.

Just received my WGen9500DF. The set up was straightforward and took about 25 min, as I took my time. Battery was charged and it started up nicely once gas got ro the carburetor. Ran smooth and shut down with fuel cut off to keep carb clean. I will add loads later to get a sense of performance. Very pleased with this purchase so far.

Purchased a few days ago. Ran on gasoline 5 hours for break-in. Varied the loads while breaking in. Performed great with all loads. Connected propane and generator ran great. Started the generator on gasoline and switched to propane while running, switch was performed seamlessly.

I bought this 9500 running watts generator to connect to the house electrical panel with a transfer switch. Got it assembled and running today. It is quieter than I expected, based on the description. Thankfully! The user manual instructions for disconnecting the bonded neutral to the ground were great. The assembly instructions for the wheels and feet were excellent and easy to follow. I like the features and size. I have positive expectations so far from the experience.

Haven’t had to use yet, but my house loses power at least 2x/ year due to storms. With 2 young kids we finally broke down and bought a generator. We love the dual power feature. This will definitely come in handy and we are pleased with the price and the features.

Bought the Wgen9500DF to replace an old pull start generator. Love the electric start and being able to run on propane. Eay set up, started easy. Actually looking forward to my next power outage! 3 year warrenty a plus. Looked at alot of other generators, so glad I chose this one.

I originally bought a Champion 12,500/15,000 as a backup to power my home in case of an outage. I discovered that my house is pretty energy efficient as it would run my entire house including A/C, oven, stove, dryer, washer, lights, TV, everything simultaneously. I was ecstatic…until I ran a fuel efficiency test. With a 2,000 W load, it ran for 1 hour 15 minutes on one gallon of gas. As I thought about what an outage would be like, I didn’t like the thought of burning through 20 gallons of fuel every 24 hours (and that’s only with a minimal load). That’s 4 gas cans, and gas can be hard to find as I discovered during the winter storms that occurred In February 2021. The Wgen9500DF offers a ton of features that the Champion didn’t offer. Most importantly, it’s fuel efficiency is unrivaled in the open frame category. That same 2,000 W load should run for 2 hours 45 minutes on the same one gallon of gas. On top of that, you get one touch auto-choke start (champion has manual choke with starter switch), Remote start, dual fuel, a fuel gauge, and a considerably smaller and lighter package. As a plus, this generator arrived undamaged and the battery connection was much simpler to make than it was on the Champion generator. The only 2 things I’m sacrificing are 2,000W less of running/starting watts and the digital load meter. I’m mostly bummed about the lack of load metering but during the Champion testing, normal house was under 30% load so I know this generator has plenty of power to do what I need it to. Setup was fairly simple and moving it to the back yard was much easier than the 300+ lb Champion was. It fired up on the 2nd try and ran smoothly. I still need to hook it up to my 50A transfer switch and break it in, but given the thousands of highly positive reviews this unit has received, I’m confident it will perform flawlessly.

As a qualified electrician of more than 24 years, a lover of quality craftsmanship, and a highly critical individual, I can undoubtedly say that I am very impressed with this fine piece of electrical machinery. I would recommend my Westinghouse 9500 to anyone. Powerful yet portable. Classy yet simple. I'm looking forward to many more hours of increased and uninhibited production thanks to this one of my best investments yet. Thanks Westinghouse!

Before I bought this Westinghouse generator, I compared it to comparable generators from other manufacturers. The WGen9500TFc was the standout with its higher running amps, the 50A outlet that could be used to connect into my home's electrical panel, and the push button start, which worked perfectly when I started the unit. Very happy I bought this generator.
