I purchased this generator to hook up to our home, as a power backup. I had previously installed a 30amp breaker and outlet, to use our sons generator, which is rotting away in our shed. His generator is very difficult to pull start and unreliable. According to my wife, there was no way she would be able to start it, should I be hurt or unavailable. This is a wonderful step up. What I Like: It is VERY easy to start. Has a large push button start that activates the engine immediately. Has a remote start Key FOB that worked from our windowless basement, 12 feet down and 25 feet away from the generator. (It is where our electric panel is located.) Outside Noise level is acceptable, no louder than a log splitter or mower. After putting a gallon of gas in I tried to start it. It cranked, however did not start. Added another gallon of gas and we were, Off to the Races. Started & Worked Perfect. I disconnected the 'Bonded Neutral," since we are plugging directly to the house, and the house circuit box is grounded. Comes with all the accessories needed to get up and running including a Battery Charger! Did require a little more oil than provided. Very pleased with this purchase. We have a large home; well pumps, sewer pumps, circulating pump for tap water, outdoor wood burning furnace with underfloor heating installed, which requires additional water pumps. And of course refrigerators, furnace fan and lighting.This generator can easily handle the load. I do not think we will be washing and drying clothes during a power outage, so I am not considering that option. The manual was very helpful. It depicts exactly how to 'unbond the neutral,' on the generator. Very smart to have included both a 30amp & 50amp plugin on the generator. I can use our existing 30 amp outlet. I have run 6 gauge wire and will be hooking up a 50amp outlet..

Motor stopped running after a few hours of use ( oil and gas are fine , thanks). Will not restart , and the “emergency recoil starter “ cord will not pull at all . Control panel lights indicate CO detected but the unit was running out doors with no obstructions. Support for this unit is very sub-par . Do NOT waste your money on the WGen9500.

It came out of the box perfect even though there was damage on the box. Started up almost immediately after gas and oil and a battery charge. Remote is great and works for a good distance. Only thing I wish was different was the propane inlet. WIth it was the same as a normal propane hose but it is a smaller screw on fitting. May look for an adapter so can hook to the camper tank easier.

I purchased this dual fuel portable generator as a home backup and a power source for my RV. It was delivered timely and in excellent condition. Assembly was easy and it fired up effortlessly. It is very heavy, but that was expected. Overall I am pleased with it.

This generator has been an amazing purchase. We've used it to power our WolfPack camper, for lights, air conditioning and heat; it runs the fridge/freezer and powers up the audio system and tv. We also had a power box installed on our house, so if we're in a power outage, we'll still have our furnace, fridge/freezer, stove and lights on the main floor. Great purchase after much research and comparisons. It isn't the quietest gadget ever, but not too loud to stop from sleeping. Dual fuel is great - propane or gasoline options are easy to use!

Hurricane season is upon us so thought I should invest in a portable generator. After much research I decided on the Westinghouse WGen9500DFc. The generator was received in perfect condition. Well packaged and protected. The instructions to attach the front feet and wheels and add the oil were easy to follow and only took a few minutes. They included all the necessary tools and even a funnel to use to add the oil. Well done! Attached the battery connectors and added some fuel. The generator started right up. I let it run for about 10 minutes and it ran very well. I am very happy with this purchase.

I yet to lose the power to understand full capability of this generator. But the installation was pretty easy and it started in 3rd-4th item. I wish it had a electric (wall) starter as well. But so far looks good, start and no issue. I will upgrade the review once I have to use it more.

Assembly was quick and easy. Added the oil and gas and the unit started right up. The unit does all of the choke operation, so all my family has to do is verify it has gas and push the start button. I live in Florida so hopefully I will not need to use it any time soon.

I did some research before buying this generator. Living in the woods of Maine, it's a certainty we will lose power a few times over the winter, sometimes for days. This generator powers my whole house, including well water pump, so I feel much more secure as winter approaches. Well built. All the features I need, including remote electric start, and quieter running. Very happy with my Westinghouse generator.

I'm 100% satisfied with this generator! I searched and researched long and hard for one that would suit my families needs and I believe I found it. I've had it nearly a year and though I haven't needed it, I feel much better with it on standby. I charge the battery regularly and run the generator from time to time with the push of a button. Starts without fail!
