Before making such a big purchase I did a lot of shopping and research on different generators and which would be the best choice for my family. I needed one that would be dependable, could run an RV or a section of my house when we loose power. The WGen9500DF came with clear instructions of initial set up, how to crank, and how to add to the load in stages. I chose to run it with propane instead of gas so it would run cleaner and propane has a longer shelf life. But I am glad to have the option to do either. We have not lost power yet, but the set up and initial cranking has been exactly what I was hoping for.

I upgraded to this 9500 watt generator because I wanted to power everything when the power went out. The booklet and instructions were very good, I appreciate the quick start guide, it is very good at guiding you through everything you need to know to get started without reading the entire manual. I like that it's tri-fuel, I didn't want to put gasoline in it just to set it up and try it out, so I used the propane tank from my grill to make sure that everything worked properly. After reading the manual I discovered there is a screw that will allow you to drain the carburetor, the thing I was concerned about why I didn't want to use gasoline to try it out. Storing power equipment for long periods of time with gasoline in the carburetor causes problems, so this is an amazing feature. This also has an electric and recoil (pull) start. all you have to do is push the start button and the generator starts right up. I was surprised that it started right away since it takes a little bit for the propane (in this case) to get through the hose. Press the button again to make it shut off, (so easy.) Another feature I have come to appreciate is the remote start fob. I can start the generator while inside my house. I tried it multiple times and it works perfect. Overall, it's everything I was hoping it would be, it exceeded my expectations and I'm very happy with it! I just wish I had natural gas where I live, I would never have to stock up on fuel, a great feature if I ever get natural gas where I live. Westinghouse makes a great product!

This generator is very well-packaged and everything for assembly is thought of. It includes oil, wrenches to pop the wheels on, etc. The outlet panel is very sturdy and well laid-out. It even has a plug-in battery maintainer to ensure the on-board starter battery is always ready to go. No gasoline residue in tank or carburetor when brand new, so very easy to maintain if you plan on using propane only from the get-go.

This westinghouse generator is by far the best generator I have owned. It was very easy to unbox and put together and when everything was hooked up, I used the key fob to start the generator and it started right up. This key fob is the best invention for a generator. I bought this generator for the push start feature because I was tired of using the pull crank. The key fob is a huge bonus. i would highly recommend the Westinghouse WGEN 9500DF to everyone looking for a whole house portable generator with ease of use. Mark

Very easy to set it up and get it running! I also appreciate the fuel flexibility and the multiple power plug options. I plan to use this for back-up power to my house when the electricity supply is not available. I live in the country and don't have natural gas so the propane option is a perfecte fit!

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we were without power for 5 days. I expect this generator will make life so much better for us in the event of another extended power outage. One of my neighbors also bought the exact same generator. We are both very glad that we did!

I had my previous generator for about 10 years. Did an extensive amount of research to find a replacement. After looking at numerous generators that would fit my needs I found this one to be the best value. It works perfectly and the electric start is a Bonus!

I purchased my WGEN9500df after not having power for a week after hurricane Helene. After much research I finally decided that this generator would suit mine and my families needs in the future. It is a well built and rugged piece of equipment that should last me a long time if called upon

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.

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.
