Excellent generator, just what I need

I bought this to use around my place when the electricity goes off. It will run all of the necessary things I need in my house and three chest freezers in my cellar. I really like the battery charger that comes with it. It has never failed to start when I need it, runs just like a new one all the time. The 6.6 gallon gas tank is handy too. Not sure on the hours it will run, but I haven't run it out yet. I am really impressed with this generator and the price was great too.

Quality build; great features; great value

I purchased this to replace a good-running portable generator that we've been using for emergency whole-home backup during a power outage. The old one had low hours, but we needed a more powerful generator to work with our well. Being tri-fuel, this generator makes it very convenient for us now that we can hook right up to our natural gas supply line at the house -- no more running to the gas station during a power outage. The build quality seems to be excellent.

So far so good

I bought this unit to run my RV entirely without chaining two together. Easy setup and it runs so far. I will get it out to the lake this next week and actually put a load on it. I'm looking for this to be a good investment. It is loud but I expected it.

Fired Right Up!

This generator is the most power for the money. It started right up and is very easy to use. I recommend laminating the quick start guide so that anyone can use it. And the remote start key fob is pretty cool. I hope I never have to use it but I am sure I can count on it when needed.

Great tool easy to use.

I just purchased this generator a few weeks ago and it's very easy to operate instructions were very simple and helpful. I like the tri- fuel option gives the ability to run different fuels incase of emergencies also the key fob start is very nice, would definitely recommend it for purchase.

Plenty of Power for this Household

I have only had this one less than a week but so far so good! Every year, power outages around here get worse and longer. Electric start makes it easy and dual fuel capability gives me options in an emergency. More than enough power to keep essential household appliances and conveniences up and running!

Light, powerful, and so easy to use

We bought this for the hurricanes in Florida, and it did not disappoint! It started up right away, handled everything it needed to, and was so easy to use. The set up was simple, storage is great because it's so compact and light, and yet the power is just what we needed.

Absolutely Best Generator

I've had many generators over the years so when shopping for a new one I read many reviews and the generator that always came on top was the Westinghouse WGen9500DF, Not a brand that entered my mind at first , but being in my 60s I remember the Brand Westinghouse as a leader on all electric, so I purchased, for the all the features it has the price was extremely good. I received on Feb 12 2025 read the manual, pushed the start button and to my relief it “ purred like a kitten” runs steady and great to power my whole house through my transfer switch . If your looking for a well built, user friendly, and reliable generator I highly recommend this generator

Great Generator

Before making a substantial purchase, I conducted extensive research and shopping on various generators to find the most suitable option for my family. I needed a reliable generator that could power an RV or a part of my house during power outages. The WGen9500Tfc was my top choice.

Update to previous review

This is an update to a previous review. I initially had difficulty with the first startup of the generator. Westinghouse support helped me to resolve my issue. I am now completely satisfied, in fact delighted, with the my generator. I am an older person and would have difficulty with traditional pull start motors. The electric start is a blessing. Runs great.
