I bought this generator due to the reviews of previous owners' comments. I can verify that this generator can power a small house. It has enough watts to do this. The electric start adds a nice feature. Took me about 30 minutes to unbox and assemble this generator. We'll build with a 3 year warranty.

I purchase this last week and received today. Everything came in great condition - shipper was 5 stars as well. Assembly was easy. Hooking up the negative cable on the battery took a few tools, but item came with some tools as well. The instructions says something about needing two persons, this has to do with getting the generator off the wooden crate it was sitting on. Well one person can do it, my solution was with small ramp from some scrap wood, probable the most difficult of the assy. Started up 1st try on gasoline per instructions, same with fob. I still have to test with propane (my propane 5 gal tank had rusted on to the past cable - soaking with WD-40). I will be wiring to house in couple weeks ahead with licensed electrician. But so far am very delighted.

This is a plus/minus review. On the plus side, the generator pulls like a mule. It powers a 4 ton AC, freezer/fridge combo and a dozen LED lights without a problem. That is impressive. All on propane, which is the weaker of the two fuel options. On the minus side, I don't think the Westinghouse engineers ever took one of these gens out of the box and tried to start it. In no particular oder, the battery per factory hook up is backwards (see photo where I reversed Positive and Negative leads), the wheel placement interferes with the 220v plug (the wheel placement places way too much stain on the plug), the fuel selector is anything but straightforward, it is unclear from the quickstart manual about how much oil to put in. And my battery lost a cell during shipment. Westinghouse Support told me to go to a local auto parts store to get it replaced.

It's asking me to do a review for each of my warranty registrations, so this is my second one. As I mentioned previously, two new 20,000 Watt generators arrived without the washers for the axels, or the trickle chargers necessary to keep the battery ready to go during a power failure. I let the washers slide and just went to the hardware store, but the chargers are a different matter. There is no pull rope on these big units. No battery, no start. What's worse is that we've cranked them so they can run for the 5 hour break in period as you're not supposed to exceed 50% of the load during that time and we wanted them to be ready for a real power failure. Unfortunately we're experiencing random shutdowns. It can be restarted after about 30 seconds or so, but I'm wondering if the auto choke is kicking in and choking the engine. Whatever the case, this is not acceptable for units that are for emergency use.

Just got it yesterday, fired it up today .. started immediately… have not ran a load yet. But will, after the break-in period… unfortunately I have to run it for at lease 5 hours before I can put a substantial load on it.. but will have that done in a few days.. no problem

We had a very long power failure this fall. Had not great due to electric heating and gas fire place. No lights other than Coleman propane lantern. Decided to purchase a large portable generator. Unit arrived in great condition, battery was charged, filled with oil and gas. Pushed the start and it turned over, stopped, turned over, stopped. So then I opened the fuel valve. It started immediately. Started to plug stuff in, including an large elective impact, didn't even load it up. Getting a switch installed then power the house breaker box. No more cold dark winter nights.

I upgraded form the wgen9500df and am a little on the fence on reviewing right now. I just received it a couple days ago and finally had my son come over to help me put it together. Ran the generator and seemed to run a little rough and I connected a lamp and it was dimming off/on. Will reach out to support and see how the support is. Will Update review once this is resolved. This is my second Westinghouse generator and had the wgen9500df since 2020 and has ran without a single hitch so am confident this will get resolved

So, I set up Gen. Missing bolt for battery. Found a bolt and installed. Filled with oil and started without load. Looked around a saw gas shooting out near propane hookup and cooling fan was sucking it in and spraying all over Gen. Shut down and traced back under air filter. Removed lower housing for air filter and found one of the bolts loose too. The fuel shut off pushed out of the housing also when we tried to troubleshoot and lost more gas. Found one of the fuel lines cracked at clamp. I replaced the line. Running ok.

Just bought this unit yesterday (4/2/2021). It was very well packaged in a heavy duty cardboard box strapped on a small pallet, with zero problems during transport. Spent about 20 minutes on the minor assembly required, reviewed start-up procedures, hooked up a propane bottle and was running with a push of a button. We live in Southeast Texas, have been through a few hurricanes and the most recent winter storm that caused power problems. We have had a much smaller gasoline generator and decided it was time for an upgrade. The running watts, dual fuel capabilities and numerous other features of this unit for the price is what sold us and we researched them all. We had an electrician install an interlock switch last fall, so we just plug the generator into the panel and feed the entire house with power.

This will run the whole house when the power goes out. Minimal assembly, east to understand instructions and user friendly features for ease of maintenance. This is my second westinghouse generator the first is 9 years old and has over 300 hours on it and it still works great.
