Love the product!

Great Simple Generator for Home Use I recently purchased this generator for my house, and it has been a lifesaver, especially during freezing conditions. It's simple to use, reliable, and provides enough power to keep essential appliances running smoothly. The setup was straightforward, and it performed exactly as expected when I needed it most. If you're looking for a practical generator for emergency situations, this one is a great choice. Highly recommended!

Awesome design and implementation

This machine is a delight to own and operate. It's super compact, powerful, and has lots of different outlets so you can power anything you want. This generator is designed and built the way I would design and build a machine that I knew I would have to use, maintain and rely on. Each of the electrical as well as mechanical fittings, plugs, and controls are easy to access and clearly marked. It's got great quality construction, and the fit and finish are very good.

Easy to Start

This generator is new to me and I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I did start it up for a test run and was very surprised at how easy it was to start. Even my 72 year old mother will be able to use the generator if I am not around. Very high quality.

Much more for a little more

My son in law bought a small generator during a power outage and had to run the refrigerator and window air conditioner in shifts. For a little more I equipped my home with the Westinghouse 9500 and am able to power most everything during a power outage. The remote start, alternate fuel source and multiple outlets make using it family friendly usage for all.

Easy to put together

Recently purchased after hurricane and snow storm to not have to worry about going powerless again. Very easy to put together and after adding oil and gas it fired right up. So far very pleased with this product. Love the electric start for the wife.

Great tri fuel generator

Kelly and I bought this because a couple of times a year we will be out of power for a few days. We considered a whole house generator, but we decided on a portable one because we may move in the next few years. We normally would need backup power during the winter so we wouldn't need to run the AC in the south. Even though this one would provably run the AC system. It was easy to assemble out of the box, put on wheels and rubber footing. Put in engine oil, fuel and it fired right up. We also have natural gas at the house, which would give us a more abundant fuel source. As gasoline could be scarce during extended power outages. I would buy this one again.

Good features, easy to use

I bought this a few weeks ago and am still going through the break in process (no power outages yet!). It was easy to assemble (wheels and legs) and get started. While breaking it in I have powered some appliances and small power tools with no issues. Our plan is to connect it to our gas supply and install a transfer switch. I am almost looking forward to a power outage. The electric start makes it easy to start for two senior citizens. I would recommend it heartily to anyone.

Above Expectations

I purchased this item after Helene because we were without power for over a week. Looked for a reputable named generator. After searching online saw this Westiinghouse generator and with the features and sturdiness of this product, was above my expectations. Dual fuel and remote start- did not disappoint. Have already used it for ice storm. Works like a charm the WGen9500DFc will give you added peace of mind.

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

Option for dual fuel

I purchased in 12/2024 for power outage backup along the coast of Maine. Have not had the opportunity to use yet. But the dual fuel option Model WGEN9500DFC also has a remote start. Friends who purchased for their home spoke highly about the product.
