I bought this product because my house was pre-wired for an emergency generator hookup. I was very pleased with the ease of setup, the layout of the controls, and the overall appearance. The unit worked flawlessly on my test run and I feel confident it will provide the backup power I need.

It was easy to assemble and came with a trickle charger and a remote start FOB. Seems like a quality tool. It started up immediately and ran smoothly on both gasoline and propane.....and produces lots of power! I'll use it primarily for running a small welder power source and for running my house when the power goes out.

I bought this item in the past two weeks and it arrived a few days ago. Finally unboxed it and got it set up as we prep for hurricane season. Product fired right up and has all the features we would need if there is an emergency. Hoping we don’t have to use this that often but knowing we have the necessary equipment and are prepared is reassuring.

The generator arrived strapped to its own pallet. There were no marks at all on the packaging. My husband read the owner's manual to ensure he operated it correctly. He ran it the first day for 2 hours with no issues. The manual does say there is a high altitude adjustment that is required for operating at altitudes above 2000ft. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption and increased emissions. There are 2 items to purchase: High Altitude Carburetor Kit and High Altitude DF Regulator and both must be purchased. I guess I will be searching for these two parts to purchase and then I will have to figure out how to install them. It would be helpful if the company just shipped out a unit designed for high altitude to alleviate this headache for the owner. The receptacles have been rearranged so that the large 50A is located in the center of the unit, thereby removing the issue of this large cord being located above the wheel. I look forward to having this unit to power my refrigerator, freezers and well pump during long power outages. I am rating this a 4 because of the additional parts I must purchase to efficiently operate it above 2000ft. elevation.

Received my Westinghouse 9500DF generator, and overall I'm very pleased with it. I set it up this week to connect to my transfer switch to power some critical circuits in my house during power failures, which are unfortunately very common in the winter here in the Poconos. Contrary to other reviews, I found the owners manual to be completely accurate. I'm running the unit with gasoline, and I also have a 40lb propane tank hooked up for longer outages. Switching between fuel sources while the unit is running is very simple, though the unit will stumble while the fuels are being purged, so I recommend removing load during a switch over to avoid a stall. Starting the unit using the electric start is a real pleasure compared to the recoil starter on my old unit. A couple of caveats that aren't clear in the pre-purchase material: 1) The 14-30 plug on the unit provides a maximum of 30 amps, as expected, but be aware that this means a maximum wattage of 7500 watts is intended to be carried on that cable. If you need the full 9500 running wattage, that can only be supplied by the 50amp RV connector, which will not hook up directly to a 30 amp transfer switch. 2) In order to use the electric start (on the unit or using the remote) the battery switch on the generator must be in the "on" position. This limits the utility of using the remote starter unless you've anticipated a power outage and had the forsight to turn the battery switch on. 3) The comes with a bonded neutral, which may not be appropriate for use with older transfer switches which do not switch the neutral. In that circumstance, instructions are provided to make a minor alteration to unbond the neutral, but if you do, be aware that the GFCI protection on the built-in outlets will be lost, which could present a hazard. Better to not use the built-in outlets if you're going to be unbonding the neutral. Overall, a very solid product. I'll be sure to follow up after I've used it through a northeast winter.

I just purchased this generator for my house. It's impressive how quick set-up is! The remote start is a very handy feature. We had an electrician wire our house for the 50 Amp connection which is very convenient. Overall very happy with this generator.

We went through the deep freeze in Texas earlier this year and don't want to do that again. After a lot of research and reading reviews, we feel confident the WGen9500DF will meet our needs should that happen again. The unit is well built and solid. The manual is easy to read and understand, which is definitely helpful. Considering the size and power of the generator, the noise level is not bad. Easy to move with good solid wheels, this is a generator that should serve us well for years.

My wife and I have owned several generators in the past for backup power for our home in rural Oregon. By far the Westinghouse WGen9500DF is the best generator we have owned. It has ample power to run our home on gas or propane. The remote start is very very nice. It is very quiet compared to our old generators. The 50 amp service it is superior to the 30 amps on our previous generators. The generator came well packed and undamaged and was very simple to assemble the wheel package. It is a very well engineered unit. We highly recommend this generator.

I recently purchased a dual-fuel generator, and I’m really impressed with the flexibility it offers. I love that it has both gasoline and propane options, giving me more control over how I power my home during outages. I opted for a 40 lb propane tank, and it’s been a game-changer. It easily runs all my computer equipment and my 10,000 BTU portable AC unit, which keeps my master bedroom cool and comfortable throughout the night. The peace of mind knowing that I have reliable power with a fuel source that’s cleaner and easier to store is invaluable. This generator has truly enhanced my home’s preparedness, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

I have bought a model #WGen9500TFc generator 2 months ago. I added oil and gas and hit the remote starter fob, it started right up an hasn't missed a beat so far. This generator runs for 6-10 every third day to charge the batteries in our 5th wheel camper. I would highly recommend this generator for anyone that needs a dependable powerful generator.
