Reliable Powerhouse – A Must-Have for Emergencies

I recently purchased this genarator and couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I unboxed it, the quality and build were evident. The dual fuel capability (gasoline and propane) is a game-changer, offering flexibility and peace of mind during extended power outages or off-grid use. Setup was straightforward—everything from the instructions to the quick start guide was easy to follow. The electric start worked flawlessly, and the remote start feature is incredibly convenient, especially during stormy weather when you don't want to go outside. Performance-wise, this generator is a beast. With 9500 running watts and 12500 peak watts, it powers essential appliances with ease, including our refrigerator, lights, sump pump, and even the central AC unit. It runs smoothly and surprisingly quiet for its size, which is a big plus. Fuel efficiency is impressive. On propane, it ran for hours without needing a refill, and the built-in fuel gauge makes it easy to monitor usage. The control panel is well laid out and user-friendly, with plenty of outlets to cover all our needs. In short, the WGen9500DFc offers reliability, convenience, and power when you need it most. Whether you're preparing for hurricane season, working on remote job sites, or just want backup power for peace of mind, this generator delivers. Highly recommended!

Reliable, easy to use

I purchased this generator earlier this month and have had a very easy time setting it up and getting accustomed to the remote start and connecting the 50A power output. One notable aspect of the remote function is that it takes about 5-8 seconds after a single button-press to shut-off the generator for it to come to a halt, and that repeated pushes or "push and hold" is unnecessary.

Powers the whole house

I bought this after installing a transfer switch to power my house in case of a power outage. I tested it with the AC, pool equipment, washer/dryer, etc. running and it handled everything with ease. Turns on easily. It is heavy, so difficult to manuver, but the long handle does a good job to keep it stable - even on steep slopes (like ramps to a shed).

Solid First Impressions

We haven't had to use the generator in a real outage yet, but so far we're really happy with it. It started right up during testing, runs smoothly, and is surprisingly easy to move around. Setup was straightforward, and it looks well-built. Confident it'll be a reliable backup when we need it!

So far so good

Finally got to test out the generator last night and was pleased with its performance. I love the fact that the generator is tri-fuel. We have it setup to run on natural gas and using the 50 amp port on the generator and an inlet switch we had installed on the house it was able to power two traditional fridge/freezers, a deep freezer, fans and lights throughout the house (5 bed/4 bath two story home), and a mini-split. The fact it has a breaker switch on the generator that'll flip if you overtax the generator is nice to know so we don't accidentally overload it. Just remember to flip the main breaker switch on the generator to the on position when you're ready to use it to power your appliances/house. I forgot about this and spent 15 minutes trouble shooting before noticing the breaker switch.

Easy setup

My son-in-law purchased this the WGen9500DF last year. Impressive performance. The installation instructions were VERY easy to follow. Unboxing, installing the wheels, and adding oil was under 30 mins. I ran it for 3 hours, changed the oil and then connected it to my home transfer switch. The true test is how many circuit breakers I can turn on in the house. I ran everything except the dishwasher and A/C. The generator can take a heavy load. I highly recommend this product.

Westinghouse generator

Last year, I was not ready for 2 hurricanes in two weeks. Helene and Milton packed a one-two punch that left me without powrer (I live on the central west coast of Florida). My mind is at ease now that I have this generator. Portable, remote start and dual fuel options won me over. So glad I bought this.

Tri-Fuel is a definite game-changer

After researching and comparing multiple generators, I decided to purchase this generator. The capability to use gas, propane, or natural gas was a big plus since I live in Florida and do have a natural gas supply. Sometimes gas and/or propane is difficult to find in the immediate area right after a hurricane. The output will be more than enough to run the refrigerator a couple of portable A/C units and lights if our power goes out.

Reliable, Powerful, and Easy to Use

The WGen9500DFc has been a game-changer for my home backup needs. It starts easily on both gas and propane, runs quiet for its size, and powers everything I need—including AC, fridge, and lights—without issue. The remote start and fuel flexibility are great features. Highly recommend for peace of mind during outages.
