Started first attempt with remote. Nice dual fuel feature. Runs quiet for a generator this size. Have not truly went through the recommended 5-hour break in time. I don't post excellent reviews until I've had time to test the item after true usage.

Had my house updated as a back-up to run off a generator and this one does the job. Installed a interlock on my breaker panel and use the 50 Amp connection cord to the outside of my house. Can run basically my entire house now in case I lose power. I like to use propane because of the extended life it can be stored. I would recommend this for anyone looking to backup their house. Nice that its portable and easy to wheel around as well.

I purchased my portable generator last month and received it last week. The installation manual was very good to put it together. My plumber ran the natural gas line and my electrician installed the manual transfer switch and ran the electric lines to my breaker box with no problem

My wife and I wanted a reliable generator for power outages and outdoor use. This one is just right for our needs. It will power the major appliances of the house as well as my power tools outside, when needed. It's fairly quiet and has all the options we wanted.

I have a mobile concession trailer that uses at least 8900watts of total amp age. I was worried I would not find a generator to keep up with the load. My main machine uses 2300watts and runs continuously. This generator does not miss a beat. I researched before purchase and the Westinghouse was top of the line. Very pleased with my purchase. Definitely recommend.

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.

We (thankfully) haven't had to use it for any length of time yet, but I am happy with my purchase and feel it will do great. - Setup took about 15 minutes - Easy startup (manual and remote) - Much quieter than my previous (20 year old) generator - Great compact design - Easy to move

Bought this in September and had transfer switches installed on the house. Have not yet needed it but did prep it for operations and started it up. The battery wasn't charged so I had to manually start it. It started on the 2nd pull and ran like a top (with no load on it.) I'm sure this will perform well under load but I really hope it never has to.

Frequent and sustained Power Failures in Eastern Pennsylvania required decisive action. In particular, I needed a Generator that is reliable and easy to use in order to provide emergency power to my Sump Pump. The ability to add on additional appliances was also important, but the Sump issue was becoming the Center of My Universe. The WGen9500DF seems to have all the attributes I need, and more. It arrived perfectly boxed and undamaged. I was already aware due to other reviews, that the engine oil that ships with the unit was not quite a sufficient quantity to fill the oil reserve, so I did purchase additional oil before I could test and use the Generator. The Generator is a heavy monster (200+ lbs). In order to put the wheels and peg legs on prior to filling it with oil/gas and making it moveable, you really need to have a second person to help lift it. The actual process of putting the legs and wheels on is very straightforward, but without additional help, there was no way a 67 year old woman was going to accomplish it. So its important to factor that in as a critical step in finalizing use of the Generator.... don't wait for the emergency. The battery connection plug seemed a little tough for me to squeeze together because I was squeemish about bending anything and it didn't exactly glide in as easily as I expected, so an extra strong push is required. The oil descrepancy between the amount shipped and what is eventually required is a bit disconcerting because you are cautioned about overfilling the oil reserve, so you have to ease your measure of additional oil by constantly using the dipstick. Finally, I poured some, but not a lot, of gas into the tank to give the WGen a test run. After turning the fuel selector to "Gasoline", moving the fuel tank valve to ON, Pushing the battery switch to ON, I hit REMOTE START. The Gen tried 3 times to turn over but didn't. So I shut everything off thinking maybe I was too timid about the amount of gasoline in it. I added some more gas. Reset all my start buttons. And the WGen started right up. The outside temperature was about 19 degrees at the time, so that might not have helped either. The Generator ran like a charm, so I let it go for about 5 minutes to circulate everything. I did not hook any loads onto it at this time. For me, this is the kind of purchase where I hope I don't have to use it that often since its strictly for emergency power backup, and not recreational use. However, the Push Button Electric Start is already worth the price of admission since pulling recoil starts is becoming very difficult. I also don't think the noise level is excessive, but there's been so many Generators running in the area lately, perhaps I have become immune to the sound. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase, and think it was relatively easy to get the WGen ready for action from a person not too familiar with engines.

It works as advertised. I did purchase ethanol free gas to avoid that issue. Starts right up even with an empty carburetor. Advise: check all connections and nuts and bolts, as the feet weren't on tight. If you use it up against or close to anything, it will trigger the carbon monoxide shut down pretty quick. 5 stars if the bolts hadn't been loose.
