Great generator

Like many I've been left without power too many times by storms and I wanted a portable generator that could run on natural gas to avoid having to search for fuel which becomes scarce quickly in emergencies. It was easy to assemble and started on the first try. I've only run it on natural gas, but don't plan to use the other fuels. The hose for connecting to natural gas is included, as well as one for propane. It's quite heavy, but much easier to move around than I expected with the included wheels and handles. It's as loud as expected - similar to other units in its size. I was impressed with how clean it runs on natural gas compared to the gasoline unit I borrowed during our last event.

Remote Start and Portable and two types of Fuel.

This generator can run my whole house without any issues. It is relatively inexpensive to have your electrician add an outlet and override circuit breaker to your existing main breaker box. The generator is portable and has wheels and a retractable handle. I like the remote start feature. I also like that the engine runs on propane and gasoline.

Excellent generator

Bought this unit as backup in case electrical goes out this winter. We have 2 elderly people living with us who do not do well when disruptions occur. The unit was easy to set up, took maybe 20 mins to get it ready. As this is a gas/propane unit- I decided to use the propane side of things. Got everything set correctly and the unit started running immediately. This unit will come in handy. It appears to be well made and is extremely easy to use.

Excellent Generator WGen9500DF

This is best Generator I ever have since I live in Florida for the last 42 years I have been thru many catastrophic hurricanes including hurricane Andrew and I never own a generator that was capable of running my entire house included my 5 ton central a/c unit, refrigerator, and basic lighting with no problems, is true that my water heater and dryer are natural gas but still a big load , I'm really impressed of the performance of this generator from Westinghouse the WGen9500DF, it came in a pallet in perfect condition within a few minutes I was able to rigged with the wheels, oil, connect the battery , the propane gas tank and make a test run, I use the remote control which is very convenient and run at the 2nd try right out the box, it run wonderful and strong, I let it warm up for a few minutes and did a load test in my house connecting one load at a time, the first time all the house except the central ac , including my 1 hp pool pump, and them did a second test, the 1st load was my central A/C (new 5 Ton Rheem 16 SEER ) and them I add the rest of the house circuits one by one except the pool pump because was really unnecessary, the generator runs great , I check the voltage 242 volts, frequency 60 Hz , normal temperature, let it run for about an hour and run extraordinarily great , at the end I let it run for a few minutes with no load for a cool down, I have no plan to run in emergency the central A/C since I have 2 windows portable ac units of 5000 btus each for two bedrooms and a portable 12000 btus to cool down the common areas at day time but I can included the rest of the house including the pool, and a 1/2 hp sump pump , so feeling that I'm ready for this coming hurricane season knowing that I have a generator is capable to run all my basic electrical loads in the house. I'm very happy with my new Westinghouse generator.

Easy setup, Great machine.

Bought last January after a power outage. Just set it up for an expected winter storm since you can't trust the grid around here in cold weather. Works great. Very easy setup. Would definitely recommend to others. There is probably nothing that it can't handle. Thanks, Westinghouse!

Well Built Generator

I just purchased the 9500 Tri Fuel generator after researching other products (Brands) available. This unit has more features and is extremely well constructed. Final assembly and setup is simple. I plan to have a transfer switch installed and connect to the natural gas in my home. Will provide further updates in the future.

Easy to use.

Bought this generator a few months ago as a standby gen for the house. With a 50amp plug and wiring for the house and an interlock kit, the generator hooked up and ran the house flawlessly. The push button start is great and makes it so anyone can run it.

Great Generator!

Bought this for the electric start and dual fuel ability. After getting hit by Helene, we wanted to have a generator big enough to run the whole house if needed. This gen was much less expensive than a huge propane tank that we've have to rent and Generac auto generator for thousands of dollars. Easy to move around for use in other areas as well. Definitely a great purchase!

Awesome Generator

I had been wanting a dual fuel generator for a while and decided to upgrade from our old gas one. Man, am I glad we did. I absolutely love this thing. It has all the power I need for the house and I really love the remote start feature. I would highly recommend to anyone that if they were looking to get a generator, to buy this one.

Great Quality Generator

This generator was easy to set up and get running. It is able to run my entire house and now I have peace of mind for hurricane season. So easy to set up even my wife and kids have it down and the remote start is even better so they don't have to go in the elements.
