Very Powerful!!

We just bought the WGen9500DF and tried it out. We used oil provided and Propane and followed all directions and it started up just fine. We have a 1400 sqft house and it ran 2 friges, tv & wifi device, lights, and our well pump (bogged a little on start up for pump but then fine). We then turned off water pump breaker and with 1 frige running, TV and 3 lights we turned on the Central Air Conditioning system (3 Ton) and although it bogged down a bit with start up, it DID run it! Impressive! That said, we will probably get 1 portable AC Unit just in case. And although its heavy, not hard to move with wheels and handle and not as loud as some I've heard. We also purchased a running cover in case needed during a hurricane. Great Product! Very happy with this purchase. We also tried it

Buy one you will love it!

What a great machine! The first glance build quality is nice from the push button start to the really nice molded outlet covers. Small amount of assembly but it took a whole 3 min to assemble which is great for anyone to do. Put oil in plugged in battery and took off immediately. My only complaint is I wish there was some sort of on board compartment to store the battery recharge cord.....in a lot of cases this will get misplaced or thrown away because you forgot what it was for and dont need it so Westinghouse please install a little storage box somewhere that the charge cord and spark plug wrench can be with machine at all times. Little part of me wants to lose power so I can use it and now able to power our well pump. Thank you!

So far so good

Assembly and prep was easy (took me a little over an hour including unboxing and clean up) except for the oil filling. I spilled some (provided funnel is quite small and overflowed), and that made a mess but also I think you have to use the whole provided bottle to fill it up. I’ll have to buy some more oil because the dipstick still isn’t wet. As others have commented, the dip stick is very difficult to read. I hooked up a propane tank, forgot to choke it (do you have to choke when using propane?), but it started easily. It is kind of loud, but I expected that. Usually when the power goes out around here, it’s less than a day so we can definitely put up with the noise to keep our lights on and food from spoiling or thawing. The unit itself seems well organized and well-made.

Had all the features that I was looking for

I bought this generator because it was dual fuel and had two 240-volt receptacles which were requirements I had. I chose Westinghouse because it is a well-known brand name and a friend of mine has a Westinghouse and is extremely happy with it. The remote start is a cool feature. I had to call into Customer Service to answer a question about setup. The representative was extremely helpful and easy to understand. Excellent service.

WGen9500DF

Purchased the generator for emergency home use when power is lost. The generator was well packed/protected and easy to assemble. The operating instructions are clear and simple. It even comes with a remote key fob just like my car. In the event of a power outage, I am ready.

Amazingly great service

After purchase, I am super pleased with its performance and reliability. Runs really smooth with very little noise. With a whole tank of gas, it will run for at least 8 hours. And with it being dual fuel capability, I have been able to switch from gasoline to propane while running. Truly money well spent.

Very pleased!

Bought due to all the power outages we've experienced over the years due to storms, cars crashing into poles (with transformers), etc. Had a transfer switch wired in by electrician, so I can power all essential circuits of the house without putting linemen in danger. Hurricane Iaissia coming this week, so we'll see how my plan works out.

Plentiful and Economical Power for Emergencies

I was very pleased at the unboxing of my new generator. Packing was excellent including moisture protection. Assembly took about five minutes. Seems very sturdy. Full size glossy maintenance and operations manual included. I'm delighted to be prepared for the next extended power outage, with the option to use LP Gas or Gasoline! (Civil defense box for power checked.) Research shows my fuel consumption will be acceptable with sufficient power to meet my winter and summer needs.

Great Generator

Had power outage due to a brush fire in the hills. PG&E performed an emergency shutdown and our neighborhood was out of power for 6 hours. Used this generator and it did its job for back up power. Connected via Transfer Switch. This was recommended by an electrician. Generator is loud, but it’s reliable, easy to start with button and easy to follow instructions. I’m happy with my purchase and glad I have this around. You just never know.

I liked the features

The Smart Transfer Switch sold me on this unit, also like the remote start. The dual fuel is a big plus, I will probably just use it on propane but being able to use gas is great incase one or the other is unavailable. This unit is a good solution to keep the essentials running in case of an extended power outage.
