Having a back up generator is a must, especially if you live in an area where the power company may shut off power incase of wild fires. As I was looking for a generator, the Westinghouse Wgen9500 portable generator peaked my intestest. It had plenty of great reviews online and it’s very simple to use. After I purchased mine, I had to install the wheels and mounting stand. Add oil and gasoline. Then I fired it up! I tested it out by running an industrial 24 inch fan, a 10,000 BTU portable AC and a 5,000 Lumin flood light. All of the items were plugged in and ran flawlessly. The generator had no issue running. I would say that the generator does get quite loud, however if the whole block is out, I’m sure your neighbors would be doing the same by running their generators. The generator itself is very nice looking, and is fairly a good size that can be stored in a shed or inside of a garage without taking too much space. Overall, I have no complaints so far. This generator even has a push to start and wireless remote start. This review is coming from someone who has never owned or dealt with any other portable gas generators.

This generator is the premium package. I really like some of the additional features on this generator. For example, the battery disconnect will prevent parasitic drain of the battery for long storage. I love the fact that it has an automatic choke (or not one at all, I'm not sure but one less thing to worry about). Dual fuel, easy to start, has the pull crank just in case, and enough power for all my needs. I prefer the solid tires as well, my old generator had air tires that went flat after a couple of months. It also comes with a charger to recharge the battery. Remote start...this thing does it all.

Well designed unit and offers good value for the price. Had a problem with the remote fob. I was sent a replacement in 4 days. Only problem? Westinghouse offered a free cover for writing a review. Turns out they ran out of the covers. So no free cover. Come on Westinghouse, make some more and follow through on your offer...

I bought this a month ago and did not receive it for at least two weeks. When it arrived I was pleased with the crating and ease of delivery and moving to a location for assembly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow and I put it together easily. It is heavy so, make sure to use good safety practices. I did a test run on fuel mode and it started after the third try. The push button start and the FOB worked very well. After two weeks I ran it again and it started up easily. I plugged it into my 30 amp house connection and it powered my house without hesitation. I will be testing the propane connection next.

I purchased for home backup. I have a large 4600 sqft home with 2 electrical boxes that I fitted both with interlocks. I have tested the unit running off buried 500 gallon propane tank and easily powers most everything I need to in the home. I have not used / tested the unit under load for more than 10 minutes. But the unit easily started on first try and seems to be extremely well constructed. I plan to keep the battery trickle charged and am highly confident it will be ready to power my home when needed. Very happy with purchase.

Purchased 30 days ago, wanted a DF model. Is set up to connect to 50 amp transfer switch, and even on propane able to power entire home including central air ! Very easy to start, love that it has manual and electric start and came with a battery tender. Electrician who installed asked me for the model and info so he could recommend to anyone looking for a generator. Have only run for a few hours to break in but feel very ready for any storms.

Bought this after a 49 hour power outage. Chose this model based on the other reviews, as well as electric start, good run time and will power our whole home Incase of another power outage. Light weight, quiet and easy to use. Excellent value for the price.

I live in an area that is constantly challenged by inclement weather. A portable generator is a must. My Westinghouse 9500 was easy to install and the electric starting feature is far superior to my old generator. Most importantly, I was able to run the central ac unit and two refrigerators. I feel very comfortable going into the heart of the hurricane season.

Though haven't put this generator to the full test yet, so far am impressed and pleased with everything about it. Out of the box seems very well constructed with easy final assembly/prep/startup and all the features that I was looking for - plus some. See no reason this generator won't fully meet my needs for years to come.

I bought this as a back up power source for my home during hurricane's or power outages in storms, and I'm glad I did. It is so easy to set up and use with the electric start, and remote control. My wife loves it. If I'm gone, she just uses the remote control and she is all set up with quick power. We use it on Propane tanks, we have 3, and that is enough for 2 and a half days. I would buy it again. Comes with a trickle charger for the battery.
