lots of power and easy starting

We bought this generator a month ago after the Macroburst. This thing has plenty of power and is easy to use. Being duel fuel is a plus, when we ran it on propane there was no significant loss of power for my needs........and it always seems every time the power goes out, your gas cans are always empty.

Does the job - but wayyy too loud

I purchased this as a backup for my home. The Good News: I had an electrician wire up a lockout switch for me and I've tested it with the 50 Amp circuit. It works and powers my A/C for a 2 story home. Yay! Also, it starts very nicely both via button and by key fob. Great! The Bad News: This thing is soo loud. My dB meter shows 83 dB at 20 feet. And it's a "mean" sounding 83 dB. I'm a musician and I'm used to sound which is much louder than that. But this 83 dB is painful. Furthermore, that 83 dB was *at idle*. Once I hooked up the generator to my home and the A/C came on, the sound level went up approx. another 10 dB and stayed there. 93 dB at 20 feet?! Think about that carefully. OK so that changed my plans. I thought I'd put the generator between my home and my neighbor's home. But my neighbors are close and I can't do this to them! So I had to create a partial-box to put around the generator to decrease the noise. That was a lot of work, and it's inconvenient. What can I say? This just isn't acceptable in my opinion without some kind of noise abatement. Please understand that I have had a couple generators before and I regularly use generators. This one is so much louder than any of the others. But this one also is more powerful. Another annoyance: The wheels are positioned badly. My 50 Amp plug is a right-angle plug and the cord runs into the wheel. Look at how the 50 Amp plug is postioned and you'll see why. So I have to bend my cord around the wheel, and that puts tension on the plug & receptacle: not good. I wish they'd put the wheels on the other side. In spite of all of that, I'm very happy to have a working solution for future power outages.

Great Generator

We finally bought a generator about one month ago after having lost power for 3 days. This generator is very nice. It is sturdy and looks great. It is also pretty quiet for how large it is. I hope we don't have to use it often, but am so glad we have this product in case we do.

Best packaged equipment/very easy to assemble

Assembly and start up by manual instruction went well. This product seems to be well built. It started up instantly with gas, but stumbled for about 15 seconds on propane before smoothing out. With less than 30 minutes on machine I am very pleased. I have not connected to house yet but soon I hope.

Plenty of power and easy start up

I bought this generator to replace a generac 5500 for use here in FL. So far I am very pleased. I can ue gasoline or propane, a nice option. Electric start makes using this generator easy. I ued to dread running out of gas during the night and having to go out in a hurricane to refuel and then struggle pulling the cord to get it restarted.

Really good generator

I bought this generator today. I came straight home unloaded it. Went through the manual to get ready to run it. Leveled it up put the supplied engine oil in it. Connected a propane tank to it. Hit the button and it the second time of the motor turning over. A bit louder than expected but I don't mind it. Let it run for 5 minutes before I started plugging stuff in. I shut the main breaker to my house and flipped on the generator breaker, using the 30amp twist lock outlet. It seemed to run the normal stuff in the house and a 110v air compressor in my garage. So I guess I'm ready for what ever the future holds for my wife and I.

Perfect home generator

This generator is perfect for power outages. Living in the country the power can be out for days. Wired a 50 amp plug and breaker into one of my service panels and put the breakers that were important to me in it. It’s a perfect 50 amp plug and play. Fired up this generator and it ran everything I needed. Start up is easy with a push button or remote start. It is built with very good quality. You will not be disappointed with this generator. Highly recommend!!!

Outstanding performance, looks and safety features

I was in the market for a portable generator and Westinghouse Gen 9500 DF is the one I like the best. Most people who have this unit are happy just as I am when it was delivered and have it tested on Profane gas. Look handsome, easy to operate. I am now ready for power outages.

Easy to Start Powerhouse Generator

I needed a generator that could provide emergency power when we experience power outages. I wanted a generator that had high power output and was easy to start. It fit the bill and I love that it can use three different fuel types. It is not quiet but that was not a criteria that I needed. I’m very pleased with the purchase.

Well built machine at a great price.

I bought this product a few weeks ago at a great price and was surprised how well built it is and how little assembly is required. I had an electrician create a sub-panel, porting over the majority of important circuits from the master panel and this WGen9500DF seems to power everything, with the exception of my 5 ton AC's. I only ported one of my 5 ton units to the sub-panel, but upon start-up, it tripped the breaker on the generator, so at least the generator is protected. I will attempt to install a soft start device on my AC, hoping to get it to work with this generator, but in worst case, I can likely manage without my AC's for a few days in the event of an outage. I recommend this generator, which seemed to run just fine off both gasoline and propane. I do with there was a natural gas adapter capability.
