Bought this for power outages during storm season. Living rural power loss is more frequent. Received our WGen9500DF today, assembled it per the assembly instructions no problem. Never did find the ECO mode switch. Checked other reviews and no one else found it either. Hooked it to a new propane bottle and it started with first push of the start switch Seems to be quiet enough and smooth running. Hope we get many years of service.

Three weeks ago, I made the prudent decision to purchase this generator. Recent power outages have demonstrated its value, as it successfully powered two refrigerators, a television, a window air conditioning unit, and two lamps, with ample power capacity remaining.

My wife and I were so excited and are so excited to have this generator. Its not much louder than a freeway and you can barely hear it in our trailer. We will be using this for a long time. Plus to have the duel fuel source, its amazing!! I would recommend this to anyone, friends and family!!!

Just got this set up with a transfer switch for the house, and it works well. Set up a manual switch with ten circuits, none greater than 20A. Runs a little more than half the house circuits, no problem. Don’t know about the run time yet with regular electrical use, but manual says it should get about 8-10 hours per tank with normal use. Remote start is nice, can do it from inside the house.

I found out the hard way during a power outage you get what you pay for in generators. My cheap generator quit when I needed it the most. I bought this quality Westinghouse unit and couldn’t be happier. It is heavy duty, pushes any load I would ever need, and is full of features. It even has remote start and an included battery trickle charger. Pay a little extra and get a good generator and don’t get left out in the cold like I did!

I am located in Calif. and purchased the WGen 9500 as a proactive step anticipating down electrical time imposed as a fire prevention measure. I am very pleased with the appearance of the product along with the the break-in experience I have had. I not only like the quality of construction and features in the WGen 9500 but especially the power that would allow me to run all the equipment, appliances, etc. in my home. I highly recommend the product thus far and do not anticipate any issues.

I purchased this generator to power our house in the event of an outage. It generates plenty of wattage to run all the essentials in our house. The instructions were very clear and even explained how to remove the neutral bond (which was important since it is connected to an interlocked load center). I poured some gas in it and it fired right up. The push-button start is also a nice feature. Only thing I would recommend is to run it a few times when you first get it and immediately change the oil after. I did this and the first couple times there was some metal in the oil from the engine breaking in. After 3 times total the oil was metal-free and I felt it was ready for use.

After Many years of intermittent power outages, four of which were extended (7 days or more), the latest being with Hurricane Laura, we bought this WGen9500 and I couldn't be more satisfied. Notes: Shipping / delivery personnel great. Carried (unbelievable considering it's weight) to my back porch and unboxed. Weight --yes, it is heavy. You probably want to have some help tipping it on side to put on wheels and legs Noise level - actually not too loud at all. I've run it at very end of back porch, and with entry door closed decibel level at least seems less than my lawn mower. Easy initial setup, excellent manual, perfect oil funnel furnished. Enough power, with discretion, to run everything we will want to make life much more comfortable with the next outage. Very simply, you can't go wrong with this generator.

Set up was super easy. My wife was not comfortable with the last recoil start and it would take several pulls. The remote key fob is a very nice feature for those that are concerned about touching the generator. Cranked on first push of the button. Hope to only use propane and it ran without issue on propane tank half full. Have only run for an hour but was able to overload beaker - tripped like it should have. Will be setting this up with the auto transfer switch. Hard to beat this quality and price.

I bought this so I could run my whole house during a power outage. The fact that it's Tri-Fuel allows me to run it on Gasoline, Propane or Natural Gas. Currently, I have a large underground Propane tank, so that will be the dominate fuel of choice. However, the fact that it will also run on NG allows me to use it in the eventuality I someday have NG, or if I ever move from the country to a residential area that has NG, I can just take it with me. So, the portability aspect of this generator makes it very attractive. I've run it with a load, but nowhere near the massive load it will actually handle. I've had a transfer switch and generator outlet installed. I can't say I'm looking forward to my next power outage, but I DO know I'm READY for the next outage because of this product. It's heavy. Really heavy. But, the wheels, the "feet" and the handle make it very easy to move around and set in place. Did I mention it's a BEAST? I haven't had it long, but so far it's highly recommended by me.
