We bought this generator after big storms left us without power for five days. It brings a lot of peace of mind knowing that we have this great generator for future storms.

Incredible Value

Build quality- excellent, do not see parts that look easy to break or fail. Features- better than most competitors and everything we need. Simple & easy to operate, even starts with a Key Fob. Add the optional ST Switch and it's a smart automatic back-up system- it works perfectly. We use the ST Switch for 1 freezer and 1 refrigerator in the garage with power to spare.
I have run almost 7000 watts (from 10ga extension cords) in testing and the 9500DF had no problem on LP gas. We use natural gas for heating and cooking, so the 9500DF will have all our electrical concerns covered including a 10,000 btu backup window AC unit during the TX rolling blackouts.
I will not be installing the 50 amp output to the breaker panel in this house, we're moving soon and will invest in a whole-house transfer switch then. Originally considered the 7500DF, but my budget allowed me the upgrade to the 9500DF with the ST Transfer switch.
I do know the unit can power a 4 ton A/C unit, so I'm very confident we made the right choice. I have 40 years of professional electronic & electrical experience and the WGen9500DF is everything I wanted in features and build quality. Very satisfied with the value of the Westinghouse product. Perfect choice.

Great features for value

Me not being home when the power goes out created a problem for my wife. The addition of this electric start is great and her ability to start it with the remote is fabulous. Now when the power goes out one push and she's up and running. Even came with trickle charger which I thought I was going to have to buy separate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Power (Until it broke)

I have owned this Generator for over a year.
Does not start when temperatures are too cold
Had some type of surge (I have a surge "Suppressor") and using a 10 gauge extension cord but still had something go wrong with power output. Generator runs good but no power output.
