With the increased power outages happening in California, finally broke down and bought a generator. Westinghouse came well recommended and the WGen9500DF had all the required features and power to run my well pump and critical circuits in my house through a transfer switch. Generator arrived well packaged and ready to go! Time will tell on reliability but from what I’ve read, it is the machine to have.

Just received the generator. Gave it a trial run. Extremely easy to set up and get it started. Directions were easy to follow. Just be sure to go step by step. I was too eager to push the start button. Have to remember to move the fuel shut off valve to on position. After checking for all systems go, easy to start with the button and with the remote start. A breeze to pair the remote start to the generator. I was surprised at how the noise level was not as loud as expected. The unit is moveable with the wheels, heavy but not so heavy that I cannot handle. Very happy with the unit. My electrician said I got a really good generator. I should even have enough power to use my electric stove top if we loose power. Highly recommend.

We recently moved to the foothills of the Sierras (Northern California). Power outages are common, so we bought a little 2,000 watt portable to keep devices charged. We are presently in the middle of an extended outage with no end in sight. My neighbor is an electrician and he told me he could wire this generator into our main so we can power the whole house with very little disruption. I had been under the impression that a whole-house generator would cost five figures. This was an absolute bargain. The only very minor quibble I have with the unit is that some of the threads for the nuts securing the feet are fouled either with paint or a manufacturing burr. I attached the feet using one bolt each but will ream them out later. For now, they're secure enough. That very minor defect is the only reason I did not give it five stars. Being able to run on propane as well as gas is a huge convenience. We will plumb it into our 450-gal propane tank but use gasoline for backup. The wireless fob to turn the generator on and off is a very nice touch. If we have future extended outages, it'll make life a lot easier.

I just bought this unit and I am very impressed. It converts easily to a floating neutral, which is what I needed. It is also 50 AMP capable, also required for my needs. I also like that I can use propane, and easily switch to gasoline in a pinch. The remote start-up is also a really nice feature. The manuals are well written and the quick-start and maintenance sheets are outstanding. There is also info on the different oils and spark plugs that can be used!

Ease of order, and caught it on sale. The shipping experience was wonderful, and the "uncrating" was a breeze. It came on a pallet, strapped down and the guys thatt delivered it were great. Finished assembly with the detailed instructions, and threw the included oil in. So far, so good. Will fire it up next weekend when I purchase a propane bottle for it. Based on the reviews, I dont see a problem with the build.....happy to have it for this coming storm season.

The generator arrived earlier than scheduled which I appreciated. Set up was clear and easy to do. I appreciate having the oil and tools right in the box for set up and maintenance. I really like the tri-fuel feature and the flexibility it gives me. After connecting the propane fuel line I started the generator started and it runs great. It powers all the tools I need with no problem.

We just assembled our new WGen9500DF generator, put oil in crankcase, plugged battery connection together, poured gas in tank turned on power switch, turned gasoline valve to on position and pushed the start button which starts the generator automatically and she started right away and purrs like a kitten!!! I'm very impressed with the ease of assembly it took less than 5 minutes and was simple to do. I am very happy with its quality and great value.

Bought this unit after quite a bit of research and reading other reviews. I will be using it as a back up generator if the situation ever arises. During testing it powered just about everything in my house with no problems. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a portable back up generator.

Pros: -electric start, remote start (not all that useful IMO, but it's there if you want it) -trickle charger for the battery -50A output, which is hard to find in this size/price range -dual fuel is handy, if you want natural gas you can always get an adapter kit online, loads of people do it that way -voltages are bang on, 240 and 120V both +/- 0.4V Cons: -heavy and loud, but that's the case with every generator. Not louder than any other genny this size, and quieter than some. -my unit came didn't want to run at first, the governor was revving it up and down wildly and the engine would choke after 30 seconds. Finally figured out it was a kinked fuel hose coming from the gas/propane selector module. Undid the hose clamp and rotated the hose so it stopped starving the carb of fuel, and everything worked great. But it would be nice if it actually worked out of the box, especially if the consumer can't diagnose problems like that. -nominally high THD (<23%), if you care. The overwhelming majority of modern electronics won't be affected by high THD, though I've heard computer uninterruptible power supplies sometimes refuse to recognize that they're plugged in when on generator power. All in all, definitely worth a buy.

Had been looking for dual fuel generator for awhile that was affordable, big enough to run most important household electric items & easy to use. Has remote start as well as push button. Haven't had need to use yet. Will also get electrician to install plug in so even easier to use
