Very sleek!

Finally upgraded my generator and boy am I glad I went with this one. Everything seems so well thought out and designed. Love the features on this thing that do what you expect them to and help make things easier on the operator. Can’t recommend this portable generator enough!

Awesome Gen!

We purchased for backup power during our many power outages. Once we got passed the delayed delivery and the damaged shipping carton. Then only to find out that the exhaust heat shroud had a dent in it! I inspected and everything else looked ok. Set up went quick but it could have used a little more oil shipped with it. Didn't want to run on fuel just yet for the first time so I hooked it to propane. Used the key fob and the gen started first try no problems. Power output is as designed, powers everything we purchased it for. No issues fingers crossed. Thanks!

Great generator, very good quality

Bought this generator recently after doing a lot of online research. So far it is measuring up to my expectations. The build quality is really good. Setting up the generator was easy. Tested it with a 30amp cable to power a few devices. Also tested with 50amp cable connected to the house - easily powered our refrigerator, microwave, and all other appliances/lights/etc on the sub-panel. Love the electric start and fob for remote start/stop. The fold down handle and sturdy wheels make it easy to take the generator in and out of the garage. The only issue i had was that the battery came with quick-connect wires, while the manual referred to a different set of wires. Not a big deal though.

First Time Generator Owner

Just purchased. Easily assembled, easy to follow directions. Has generated a lot of interest. So far, six different neighbors have stopped by to check it out. Great interest in the Dual Fuel capability. Also the fold down and away handle is a big hit. Nests away in a relatively small space in garage corner.

Westinghouse 9500DF

I bought a month ago for our house and 5th wheel trailer. A week ago the power went out for 3 hours. I hooked the generator up to the trailer and a couple of lines to the house for our Internet. Everything worked great. It powered everything with no problem. I now knowing I have power gives me a since of relief what ever the situation we will have power.

Quick setup and an even quicker startup!

Very happy to have a properly sized generator for our home. We have experienced a number of power outages through the years of living in a rural area, and having to pick and choose what items we wanted to keep online was a burden. This unit is able to accommodate the full load of our home, and the electric start is incredibly convenient.

Dual fuel, remote start, easy to assemble.

I just bought the WGen9500DF generator because the power goes out alot at my house and I believe this should work to supply my house with the power I need. It was easy to assemble and it started easy with a propane hookup. I have not started it yet with the gas but hope it works as good as the propane, time will tell.

Great generator

Westinghouse WGen9500DF is a very nice generator with all the bells and whistles. Dual fuel and remote start! I needed help to get it started the first time and the customer service line had me running in a couple minutes. It is a great product with great support.

Best generator on the market

Purchased a month ago - best generator we’ve ever owned. Dual fuel and can be converted with a kit (separate purchase) to run on natural gas. So we are on the Texas gulf coast. Hurricane alley. We were the worst hit area during Harvey. Nearly every person in the area was negatively affected in one way or another during that ordeal. We also went without power during the ridiculous winter storm that hit Texas February 2021. We had nothing for 48 hours. Although our heat runs with gas, the central unit requires electricity to cycle. For clarification, our homes are built to withstand hurricanes, not sub freezing temperatures for long periods of time. Our pipes generally run through the walls and ceilings rather than under the home due to flooding from tropical storms. Many of those pipes burst because we do not have alternate furnaces as many of us never even turn Them on during the winter months at all. It simply does not get cold enough here due to being 15 minutes from the gulf. There’s not a single home I have ever seen throughout the entire state that has a basement. Throughout the last two decades, we have encountered numerous tropical storms or hurricanes that have left many homes without power at all for up to three weeks. Many of us have external freezers for wild game storage. There has been devastating loss for people with medical conditions that require electronic devices for survival as well.This freak of a winter storm that dropped our temperatures to a high of 13°F Never crossed our minds as being so tragically devastating. We certainly did not anticipate loss of power at all. Our vehicles are not formatted for anything other than insane rain storms. I have never seen a set of show chains. Our winter generally consists of mild temperatures aside from when we get a pretty strong cold front from Canada that lasts a couple days max. I am close enough to the coast that we do not have seasons in our trees do not change colors. Being that my husband and I are in our 30s, spent much of our lives outside of the city limits growing up on farms, avid hunters and fisher often, we are healthy, hearty, hard working and resourceful. There are not many tasks we have to hire someone to complete as long as we have the time. That being said, having no air-conditioning for extended amounts of time in 100° plus temperatures is just not feasible down here. It happens often with the tropical storms and literally makes you question what you did to deserve being thrown into satans lair. Not exaggerating. It’s HOT, humid like a soup sandwich, weird bugs come out we’ve never seen, and the mosquitoes reproduce at a rate that cannot be calculated. AND they are tiny and vicious on up to full blown pterodactyls. Fire ants float in massive bundles on top of water and they are EVERYWHERE. They are meticulously trained and hard wired to be more stealthy and better coordinated than our best Seal teams. They ain’t scared of a single thing. We’ve all been attacked. Wasps. Hornets. Snakes. Armadillos. Possums. Coons. You name it, it’s displaced, hot, wet, scared and looking for snacks and a dry place. Without air-conditioning or any means to circulate the hot sticky wet air, we are forced to crack doors and windows and become one with all the critters that bite. And it’s still unbearable. We have always had a fairly decent size generator previously that would at least run a window unit to cool one room of the house. Our last one had seen better days. It finally died and we have not had one for a while. Winter was a whole new beast none of us saw coming. We did have a very small one just powerful enough to power a television and over the air antenna. We also had it run a tiny personal desk heater in cycles. Many of us are native and have never seen temperatures that low for that long. Generally losing power is something we fully expect in the summer not only from hurricanes but ridiculous thunderstorms. We have not replaced either generator because we have never needed one during the winter. It was on the list, but further down. There was not a single generator available within hundreds of miles. Once everything settled we went ahead and purchased this one. After whatever that was, I have decided I am never spending another single day freezing to death or dying of heat stroke. I was fully prepared to literally drain my 401(k) and throw any amount of money anyone that could produce a generator powerful enough to run our central unit for extended periods of time. I didn’t care if it ran anything else whatsoever and was prepared to pay tens of thousands of dollars for one. This one is affordable and can be hard wired to your home rather than just a billion extension cords. During this last storm, gas stations were not able to provide fuel because of the power outages and propane suppliers had people standing in lines of well over 100 at any given time of the day for hours until they ran out. Being that our home has natural gas outlets, this was an added bonus if one or two sources is not available. The only downside which is not major is that unit generates so much power it is not safe to plug smaller devices directly into it. It is formatted to output A LOT of power, so it will zap smaller electronics plugged directly into the unit because of the abundance electricity it’s putting out. We also have a camper we needed a portable generator for. Eventually we will have a non-portable directly hardwired as an alternate power source, but because of the RV, we killed two birds with one stone this go round. This particular unit does not have a regular crank. It is much easier to get started and it is significantly more quiet than our little 2000 watt 2 gal that leaked everywhere and wasn’t even strong enough to run the keurig. I mean, the Keurig is nice and I enjoy the simplicity of it, but during this last storm it was a real pain to have to boil water and carefully make a cup of coffee. I am extremely grateful for that tiny little leaky ratchet generator, because one of us would likely have been arrested for homicide If we had to just listen to each other breathe for two days inside the house because it was too cold to go outside. At least during hurricane season, we can go outside and fire up the grill. Our bones don’t know what to do in the cold. That TV saved lives, y’all. Anyway, easy to assemble (just attach the wheels), good warranty, more fuel options than any other, user friendly and AFFORDABLE. Y’all see the price of those Honda’s? I almost bit the bullet out of being trapped and possibly a touch of temporary insanity from experiencing external changes for extended amounts of time this 36 year old body has never ever seen. But this one is a MUCH better option. It may not survive 300 years like that Honda would, but saving thousands of dollars and with options no other company offers, I feel the cost is fair. As long as you keep the carburetor clean and drain the gas before storage along with some regular general maintenance kind of like you have to with your vehicle, I do expect this amazing piece of expertly engineered machinery To last well over a decade, maybe two if I get really lucky. Don’t hesitate. It is worth every penny.

Great investment

I live in the Houston area and during hurricane season power goes out quite often when it rains hard. I purchased this generator on May 2022 and it works great. I have 2 AC units and I’m able to power one at a time plus all the downstairs of my house without any problems. I really like the remote start feature. I recommend this product 100% plus it is at a decent range price wise.
