Upgraded our older Westinghouse generator to this one. This has enough power to run most essential circuits in our house plus a few more. It's more expensive than other brands but I trust Westinghouse and it was one of the only ones that had less than 5% THD so we don't fry our household appliances anymore. Overall very happy and should last for years to come

This generator was so much easier to use than I thought. It also powered much more than I expected. We have a 5,000 sq foot house with two large central air conditioning units, as well as a wood workshop. Short of running the shop machinery, this generator powered all of it! I'd recommend this generator to anyone who needs a serious emergency power source.

I did a ton of research on generators before I bought this, and I am so glad I did. I am very happy with my decision to buy this one. It puts out clean power so I don't have to worry about my sensitive electronics, it has enough power to run my whole hose. I feels this is the best bang for the buck for sure.

After getting a quote for a back-up generator, this beast fits the bill. It will run my entire 2500 sq ft house including AC with no difficulty and was a 1/4 the cost. Giving up the connection to the gas line and the automatic transfer switch, but saving a lot of money

Powerful, efficient, and quiet! After extensive research, I found the W12000DF Generator is the most efficient on fuel in the class of its size... AND it's the best bang for your buck. Along with a great warranty, what's to hesitate? It provides more runtime on a tank of gas than other comparable unit I looked at. We also heat our home with propane, so this spring, I'm planning on running a line to the rear patio so there will plenty of fuel for any extended outage situation. There are plenty of outlets. The weatherproof outlet covers are a great feature, snap in place. We live in a rural area and the electric goes out every season. This past winter it was out for 5 days...frustrating as it is, but finally we can run our entire home on this plant alone...we have 2 separate electric entrances, and it runs both. Before, on our little generator, we could only run on 110; a few lights and no appliances; now we can run everything, including the electric range, water heater, well pumps and even my small welder (if I need it). For a portable unit, this Gen packs a great punch. It's heavy, but once in place, it'll just do its thing. I love the push button start and the remote start FOB...super easy; no more pulling recoil cords!...especially in freezing weather! If you use the remote start, the switch on the Gen will have to be "on", which means it will put a continual drain on the battery but just remember to turn it off when in storage. Comes with its own charger, simple to use. Battery is a little difficult to attach but it's kept out of the way and once it's connected, forget about it. The charger port is on the front of the panel so it's not a problem to charge it. I would suggest purchasing a transfer switch to compliment your unit. I got a 50 amp outside connector box with a twist-lock cord and hardwired the box directly into our circuit panels. Works great!

Bought Westinghouse GEN. from Family Farm and Home. Owned a little over a year and it will not start (electric nor pull). Westinghouse is the Ford of small engines - DON'T TRUST THEM. GENs are easy to repair - fuel, fire and air, especially at a year old, but who has time for these games so early on? Not this guy, regardless of their warranty. If it malfunctions this quickly it's not considerable. No excuses. It means the design engineer doesn't care, thus the company doesn't care. Poor Q/C and design. Shenanigans. Will have repaired and sell if anyone will buy it. We wonder why no foreigners want to sell or buy American made products made recently.

Hopefully, I will change my mind soon. As of now, my brand-new WGen20000 will not start. Not even a sound. Followed the starting directions. Battery charged, plenty of fuel and oil. Pushed the button with no sound. I've got a big job that requires this size machine, and I will not be ready because of this issue. Received the machine with the box already open with parts missing. Right now, it just seems like a bad expensive purchase. Does anybody have any suggestions?

ran generator for 45 minutes and it stopped and would not start again.Handled load while it was running up until it stopped..I've had Briggs and Stratton,Generac and Champion generators with no problem so i figured i would give Westinghouse a try.. I retired from a utility and we had a lot of 34.5 kv transformers and 12.5 kv circuit breakers and they were very reliable i guess because they were made in the US..

Overall, I'm very impressed with this Westinghouse generator in terms of both the amount of power it provides, expansion capabilities, quality construction, and versatility of use. I bought this generator to be primarily used for home power in case of emergency. With up to 12,500 watts of surge power and 9500 watts running power with gas, it can handle pretty much my entire house. I LOVE the dual fuel options, as I usually have plenty of propane I can use as well. Even though the surge and running wattage is a bit lower when using propane, I still have plenty of juice to power the necessary items when the grid goes down. Esthetically, the generator is very handsome, with neat lines and logical functionality. I will be using the 30 amp/240 volt plug with a house transfer switch for now, but having a 50 amp/240 volt plug allows me to upgrade in the future. Before I bought this generator, I did quite a bit of research. This generator, the Wes9500DFc is by far the best for the money. I would highly recommend this generator if you're looking for one of the best that combines awesome looks with high performance. POWER…VERSATILITY…QUALTY…you get it plus more with this Westinghouse 9500 DFc generator.

That 74dB in the specs is at idle, producing no power. Running, it checks out at 79-80dB at 27ft even at no load. Same as my 20yo Generac but feels louder. But it runs great on propane and produces clean power, a steady 120VAC at 60Hz. Except at idle, where the voltage runs as high as 149V on each leg and Hz up to 75. I'll just make sure to NEVER connect it to any load with it set to idle. Since it is about the only genset of this size that offer clean power AND runs on LPG, I'll live with the flaws.
