Good generator for the money

I just bought my second Westinghouse WGEN9500DFC generator. I bought one 2 years ago and used it during several power outages and used it camping. I connect my generator to our house circuit breaker box with a electrical disconnect from power company when it's needed. It will power everything we need just not all at once. It will run our 4 ton heatpump if needed however we burn wood so we try not to use it for that. So mainly hot water heater, lights, freezers, fridge, etc. So far have only used propane in it. It works great and we can start/stop it from inside the house with the remote. I bought the second one for my mom's trailer to replace an older generator.

Westinghouse GeneratorI

I bought this for emergencies. So far there hasn't been any reason to use it, but we put it together and started it. The instructions were easy to follow and all worked as it was suppose to! I don't want to have to use it, but I'm glad to have it - just in case!

Monster size, all the accessories are included

Still need to hook up our natural gas connection, this unit replaces a gas only 9500 which performed well for our whole house including AC, but it bogged a little when the AC would kick in, so I went with this unit since it has more surge capacity. I will say the engineer that thought the battery with a nut/bolt terminal was a good idea should rethink that. Big hands trying to hold that nut and put the bolt on led to more time chasing the loose bolt than actually putting the entire thing together. Not that I'm looking forward to another outage, but we will be more than ready, maybe the wife will be able to wash clothes during the outage too!

Well built power unit

We bought this unit after hurricane Helene caused us to be without electricity for two weeks. We only had this unit two days before power was restored, but it was more powerful and quieter than the generator we borrowed. This unit is well built and was very easy to assemble and start running. The duel fuel is very helpful to keep power going for a long time uninterrupted. I have recommended this unit to my friends and am in the process of installing a 50 amp plug to tie into my electrical panel.

Best generator on the market.

This received the best generator award from popular mechanics in 2024. I have nothing but good things to say about this. Westinghouse has made a powerful machine at a great price, its lower priced than many generators with half the output. I can run almost my entire house with this and having the option of three fuels is really convenient.

Westinghouse Engineers Double Down

The WGen series is built to be used alot and last a long time doing it. It is ergonomically designed with it's features all at hand and ready to go. Although it is a new installation for me I'm not green to arranging back-up power for myself or elderly people. My fifth actually my second personal and three for others with heath problems and medically necessary equipment for survival and function. Testing the Wgen9500Dfc installation ha gone so well the next request to put a back up in place the Westinghouse WGen-DFc series is set as the default anchor of any application.

Nice piece of equipment

We bought this in preparation of the hurricane season since our existing generator's gas cap sealed to the tank. This generator has the size and features that we were looking for. It took me about 15 minutes from inside the box to running the other night when our power blinked during hurricane Helene. Love the key fob and the smart switch ready outlet.

So far so good!

I bought this in October 2024. I received it in December because it was back ordered. I bought it for a home back up power supply. I just got my transfer switch installed and the generator is now ready for it's initial start up and break in. I love it so far but tomorrow 2/6/25 will tell me if I made a good choice. I will be using propane for fuel.

Review for WGEN14500DFc- Whole House Backup Power

Bought the WGEN14500DFc generator just before Christmas 2024 as a whole house backup power solution. Just now completed the test this February 2025. This unit will power my whole home including 2.5 ton/45,000 BTU American Standard HVAC unit w/easy start and all other electrical components in my home. I connected this through a 50 amp outlet plug hooked up to my circuit panel. The test was performed using unleaded gas.

What I Needed to Power The Whole House

This generator is exactly what I need to power my whole house. I live in Texas and occasionally have to deal with outages due to hurricanes. Having the option for three different fuels is a must. I highly recommend this generator for all of your needs.
