Excellent Generator and Satisfied Customer!

I was in the market for a generator with enough wattage to power the majority of my 2200 sqft home and I finally settled on the WGen9500DF. Shipped directly to my door, unpacking and assembly took 10 minutes. Generator fired right up on both gas and propane. I have a natural gas water heater, range, and dryer, so my power needs aren't extremely high. However, this little power house ran my 4 ton ac (hard start capacitor), 2 fridge/freezer combos, numerous lights and other electronics while running on gas for 1 hour without issue. I'm confident when the next hurricane knocks out power, I'll be able to rely on this baby until power is restored. I have not yet had the need to contact customer service yet, however, I've heard/read that Westinghouse is superior to other brands. Another satisfied customer, thank you Westinghouse!

Awesome features

I recently purchased this for multiple uses but mainly for a backup for my home. I decided on this particular one because of the dual fuel, ease of starting and compact size for its output. It will be easy for my wife to use if I'm out of town working and the power goes out. I have only used it once so far but am very pleased with the purchase.

Great generator with fantastic capabilities!

I purchased this generator a few weeks ago for backup home power. Having the ability to use gasoline and propane is the greatest capability during hurricane outages when gasoline may be in short supply or storage of it becomes problematic, whereas propane's shelf life is considerably longer and easier to store, best of both worlds is a plus! Able to put out huge wattage that can power nearly everything in my home via 50A hookup and interlock switch. That includes my 3.5 ton AC unit, however, I do have a soft start kit installed to reduce the burden on the 9500df and allow for greater efficiency and increased loads. Started right up on the first try. Extremely well thought out and solid generator. Moves easily with the handle/wheels when needed, and tucks away nicely under my workbench when not needed. Remote start was the cherry on top! Have recommended to many family and friends, and to whoever reads this as well. Cheers.

Solidly built unit

I bought this generator mid-way through 2020 but was not able to really check it out and write a review until now.. Let me explain I work in emergency preparedness for a large utility and do to the pandemic and multiple storms in 2020, I had to put my new generator on the back burn. I will say that I researched many other units and waited @ 6months for this one to become available. I could not be more pleased wit the quality of the unit and the solid design. Hopefully I will not have the need to use it anytime soon but have great piece of mind that my wife will not be in the dark should we we affected by a storm and I am away working to help restore power for others.

A life saver

Last year in February, we were caught up in the "Freeze" in Texas. We lost power and suffered thru the whole ordeal. So my wife and I decided to purchase our first Generator and I will say...The best investment we have ever made. We managed to find an 50amp outlet and plugged our house to it...works like a charm, and not only that, my wife was able to set up the generator and hook it up. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Easy Set-Up and Operation

Product arrived 1-day ahead of delivery date. If you have experience with generators, set-up and operation is simple with the included manual. Be sure to purchase an extra quart of 4-cycle oil. The unit comes with 1bottle but it is not enough to fill the reservoir. It will take 2 people at delivery time to move. Once you attach the wheels it only requires one person to move the generator around. Absolutely no problems with starting and operation. I'm using it with my house and there is enough power to start-up AC/Heating unit, refrigerator, TV, lights and outlets. Did not start washer and dryer. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Great generator

I bought this a few months ago, and I love the security it provides. Without power, I would not have water, so this generator is a lifesaver.

Great out of the box

This generator is great out of the box! Easy to get up and running. Now just waiting for a power outage to really test it out!
