We experience power outages several times a year in Houston. This last Beryl encounter was "the straw that broke the camel's back!" I purchased the WGen9500DF with the sole purpose of it being able to run our 3.5 ton AC unit. I plugged into our 50 Amp inlet and the unit handles the AC and all other essential electrical requirements at our home. I couldn't be more satisfied with the purchase!

My generator was delivered unscathed and exactly on time as scheduled! Unboxing was super easy and was good that the instructions were directly on top. Glad I read through the “Quick Start” as well as the actual manual though. Assembly was a piece of cake and very quick; just the feet, wheels, and put the battery connections together. Once I added the included oil, I hooked up the propane tank, turned on the correct switches, and it fired right up! The remote was already paired and that tested perfect! Not too loud, yet very powerful!! I’ll update this post once I put a substantial load on it after the 5 hour break-in period and after the first 25 hour oil change. Plan on trying the gasoline and natural gas option soon as well. Very happy with the purchase so far!!

This 9500 will run my entire house as long as the heater or ac is not on. The AC or heater causes it to bog down and the next size generator up would get that job done for sure - I just could not spend that extra money. I can run all my lights, TV's, appliances, phone chargers, etc... and run several small room electric heaters all at the same time, no problem. If I did not live out in the country where I have well water - the well draws a lot of juice, so without that it may be enough to run central air or heat. I did end up having an issue with the generator - it was a warranty issue. The customer service technician was extreemly nice and helpful. I was preparing for a winter storm that was on the way - and the issue with the generator was a problem. The rep helped me through the issue. He litterally told me "lets get you through this storm, then we will get your generator warrantied". And that is exactly what he did, and what happened. Good machine. Good warranty. Great customer service. Thank you Westinghouse.

I purchased the WGen9500DF to power my small house and shop during Davey Tree Power outages (PGE NorCal). Upon receiving the generator and setting it up, I ran it on propane for an hour. This thing is a beast! The remote works perfectly. Starting and stopping the generator from inside the house. (within line of site) I found that it was necessary to change the oil after that first hour test/break in, because there appeared to be enough metallic debris in the oil to warrant it. I found it easy to drain and refill the oil in the generator without making a mess. A little over a quart of oil is cheap insurance that our new Westinghouse generator will last a Long time. The only disappointment was that the air filter was not installed correctly at the factory. The outer portion of the two stage filter was Not fitted in the filter box correctly so the filter box cover cut into it. I called customer service for a replacement. Also "transfer switch ready" appears to mean that I have to use the Westinghouse ST switch, with extension cords to have the generator automatically start for back up power. I called tech support and have yet to hear back.

I just purchased this unit and am pleased with the overall appearance and instructions provided. I am pleased to see that it is manufactured in Vietnam because I personally believe that country has a higher quality manufacturing than China. I am looking forward to following the instructions and testing it on both Gasoline and Propane today. Manual Transfer Switch Test will the unit be in a few weeks and live load test comes in 1Q24

We are very happy with our generator purchase. The shipping was timely and it arrived in perfect condition. The manual and setup were easy to follow. We did start it up and it ran perfectly. We really like the manual start button and bonus remote start feature. This generator has enough power to run everything we will need during a power outage.

i bought this after a four day blackout. It arrived in good shape. It takes about 15 minutes to set up including the wheels and connecting the battery. Started right up (be sure to turn the fuel valve on). Was surprised to find that it came with a battery charger...very handy.

Bought this as a backup generator to tie into my main electrical panel through an interlock breaker. Being selective, the generator powers everything we need in the house during power outages. Cranked right up out of the box. Wheels and handle make it easy to move around. Great deal for the price.

Fired right up out of the box on propane.....it would not start on gasoline at least initially. I ran on propane for an hour, and then switch to gas on the fly. It chugged a bit but then purred like a vicious kitten and ran fine after that. You will need a little extra 10W30 to fill to the appropriate level. It is heavy but easy enough to move around with the wheels and feet on it

Bought this as a backup generator for my home. Came on a pallet and delivered to my garage. Opened up to assemble and being a 78 year old man can only lift so much. The unit weighs just over 200# but by turning it on the pallet, was able to put wheels on as just high enough. l then turned it a little more and could put the feet on the other end and I was ready to go. After putting oil in and gas, I found the fuel turn on valve and it started up and ran within a few seconds. Totally portable by me by myself and will hook up to the house power. Exactly what I was looking for and totally impressed by the enclosed literature and the unit. Glad I purchased this one over others.
