Our son owns a WGen9500. They have had the opportunity to use it during a power outage. He said it did all you would expect, has great features - particularly the remote start. They have four boys, ages 3 to 15, and having emergency power was great. We could not ask for a better review or recommendation than that to base our purchase on.

Bought this after a week long power outage from an ice storm to hook up to the house in future power outages. It was easy to set up, came with oil and a funnel. Absolutely love the power start feature and auto choke. Push a button and it tries on it's own several times to start. Comes with a remote fob. Started right up. We only ran it for a few minutes to make sure it worked. Yes, it's loud. Haven't seen a generator that isn't. Have not tried the propane yet.

I bought this generator a year ago to be hurricane ready. Luckily we made it through this season without the need. I had a transfer switch and external plug added to the house. I am right now sitting in the house with the power off and the generator running. The air conditioner is on along with anything else I want to turn on. The generator is running the whole house. This thing is great, I'm so glad I bought it.

Purchased for backup power to home. The WGen9500DF has plenty of power to do just that. Having the dual fuel option is quite nice for bad weather when I can go to get gas. I can use the LP gas tank from several other items I have on hand. I recommend this as a good backup.

For some reason we have multiple power outages each year both in the summer and winter. We were tired of losing food every time, or having to keep buying bags of ice trying to save food while being miserable and sweaty in the summer. I also work from home often and if we don't have power, I can't work and don't get paid..bought this generator to take care of that, and after breaking it in and changing the oil it's at the ready. Came highly recommended from a few coworkers that bought the same one, and I can see why - especially love the built in charger port for the battery.

We are plagued with frequent power outages, living on a dirt road, surrounded by large trees. This generator satisfies our needs to keep essential appliances, water and lights running. The dual fuel option gives us more flexibility to address fuel supply issues. It's well designed, and well built.

Recently purchased as an upgrade to my iGen2200 to better power our whole house and while 7500 watts would have been suitable I was able to purchase this 9500 watt version around the same price so it was an easy decision. Just a great all around machine. Fuel options, power out options, starting options, monitoring options, etc. Heavy but moves easily with large wheels and a well placed handle. A bit louder that I expected, but typical of the breed, and wish there was an easier option for an exhaust extension for running inside the garage for security purposes and for the neighbors sake with the exhaust noise. No knock on the unit itself, just things I'd prefer. All in all I am very happy with this one.

I just received this. I researched for hours on line and decided this was the size we would need in the event of an outage. My only concerns are the handle was somewhat bent inward, I had to pry it out. Not sure if that was from shipping or manufacturing.

Just delivered yesterday and I unboxed it today. I have been looking to upgrade to a bigger generator as my needs have changed in my new home. We moved from the hustle and bustle of central Florida to a home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where power outages can be common certain times of the year and when it goes out the average restoration time is 6to 8 hours average. Our other generator wattage was only 5500 peak watts which was adequate for central Florida home with city water and gas appliances. But our new home is all electric with a well pump which the load is higher. I don’t expect it to run the complete home but it will be more than enough to run the necessities to make out power outages a little more easier. With 3 refrigerators , 2 freezers , lights fans and a well pump I was at my limit with 5500 watts. I haven’t used the new Westinghouse Generator yet but I know it is only a matter of time. The day we purchased this we had two outages with in one week totaling 14 hours.

Since I am mechanically challenged, I was concerned about the setup for this generator. It could not have been easier. I followed the directions and it started right up using propane fuel and I ran the generator for about 30 minutes. I bought it in case of power outages and to replace an old generator that was difficult to operate by comparison. Not hoping for a power outage but feel confident this will do the job if there is one.
