I Just purchased this unit In Anticipation of an approaching high winds. Getting this unit assembled and ready to run was very easy. I really like the remote starting feature. It started easy, and I’am ready if I do lose power. The westing house brand was recommended to me by a friend who has one and used it a lot

The generator was easy to put together without need for additional tools. It is surprising easy to move around despite its weight. The push start remote makes the generator very easy to start. I was also surprised by how quiet (for a generator!) it is when on. No longer dreading the next big storm!

We purchased this generator for our 2nd home in the Sierra Mountains as a total back-up connectable to a transfer box that powers every appliance and outlet. This enables us to shower, cook dinner, wash clothes etc. The unit starts easily with battery and trickle charges when stored. Had a propane "T" installed for a quick-connect to our property propane tank. Looking forward to a good experience.

I have owned several generators in the past (I'm 75 yrs old) and never had a problem. Down here in Louisiana with yearly hurricanes we lose power a lot. Almost ruined this one because the instructions about the oil is confusing. First. the unit has a yellow dip stick so when you put in new oil, which is yellow it is nearly impossible to see the oil level. Second,.the oil fill lays at a horizontal angle, (unlike a car which if a vertical fill tube) . so it is hard to fill and hard to read the level on the dipstick and very easy to overfill. Third, they give you a 1 quart can of oil but don't tell you how much it takes when you first fill it up. But low oil was the problem when I almost ruined my generator. At the start I put oil in and added more and kept checking the dipstick then I thought it was full. So I started it and it ran for just about 1 hour and shut off. I tried many times over several days and it would run for only a few minutes or not start at all. I called Westinghouse about one of their service centers. Anyway, after about 10 days I reread the manual and began all over again. Ultimately, when I had rechecked everything I found that the oil level was now showing LOW so I added more oil, almost the whole quart and it finally started and ran fine for 2 hrs until I shut it off. Reading the manual for the 15th time I finally saw where it says under the troubleshooting info, " low oil shut down switch is preventing the unit from starting". This switch must be located internally in either the engine or the crankcase not anywhere that you can see it!!! This i believe was my problem and I sure hope I have not ruined my brand new generator, especially with another hurricane coming!!!!

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.

Bought this less than little over a month ago, Love all the features. after going 5 days without any power. I think this generator will power up our home needs sufficiently. After discussing with friends which have the same type of generator this will definit come in handy. After having gone thru the break-in period, in which when powered up , engine sounded very strong and reliable

Just received my WGEN9600DF. Read instructions and setup it up using Propane. Manually started using Pull start because battery was low...no biggie. 3 pulls and it started to purr like a kitten. Let if run for 15 minutes, charged battery and started it electronically and remotely. Perfect. I actually plugged in my Tesla to the regular outlet to see if it would charge....YUP!! I am super happy and and ready for many years of service, if needed. Purchased as a backup generator for my house. Had a manual transfer switch installed. Will testing that in the next couple of days....will update review after test is completed. Thanks Westinghouse Ken

Just picked up my new generator. Picked this one so I can use it for when we loose power, located in Vt so with snow and ice storms it happens a bit. Very easy set up with great directions. Not just waiting for me to use it. Getting the tri fuel makes it very nice to be able to switch between the fuel type.

I had a transfer switch intstalled on the house and use the 30 amp outlet to power all my essentials. I can power my gas furnace, 3 freezers, 1 refrigerator, gas stove, and well pump with plenty of wattage to spare for extras. Super easy to use and fired right up after oil fill. And starting and stopping the generator with a wireless fob is a must for the wife when its cold outside!

Purchased as protection for all the power outages we have during storms. Really like the ability to switch between propane and gas. Instructions and setup took less than 15 minutes This involved putting on the 2 wheels and supports. Plenty power for our house. Highly recommend!
