We bought this generator in March 2025, spurred on by my son and after being hit by Hurricane Helene. We’re in our late 70s and we’re able to get it assembled (mostly just the feet/wheels ourselves. With just a few more steps, it was ready to go. It started up so easily and runs like a charm. With a couple of power cords, we are now able to keep tv, lights, appliances, refrigerator running when the power is out. We now feel much more prepared to handle the next big storm and power outage.
Finally upgraded to a more powerful generator with great features: electric start and remote too which is very convenient; it is tri fuel so we have choices, yesterday successfully tested with propane, and plan to have it hooked up to natural gas soon, gasoline is another option of course. So far very happy with the purchase and hopefully for many years to come.
Received my Wgen9500Dfc 3 days ago and couldn't wait to get it all setup. Talk about easy, attach the wheels, the rubber feet, add oil, connect the battery, add gas and it was ready to go. Took 30 minutes and it was up and running.
I feel ready for the next power outage and secretly can't wait to put this to the test.
Initially generator worked as expected. After the 5 hour break in, starter does not engage but the engine starts using the pull start feature. Now I will need to file a warranty claim (-1 star) and transport this heavy generator to and from an authorized dealer (-1 star). I expected better reliability from Westinghouse. This would be a great generator if it did not fail after 5 hours of operation.
I would recommend this to a friend!
