I received the generator two days before a pending freeze; however, we never lost [power so the generator was never tested. I've decided to use it solely on propane in the future to avoid the hassles of gasoline use (monthly startups, water in gas, varnishing in carb, etc.) so the dual fuel option will be fully used.
Just got this generator and assembly was quick and easy. It started on its first attempt with no problems. Little loud when close to the generator but not bad when inside the house. Time will tell but so far im giving it 5 stars. I do wish they would provide a laminated or plastic instructions that could be attached to the generator for easy access, mostly for individuals that aren’t familiar with generators.
living in hurricane country, having a reliable standby generator is more of a necessity than a luxury. I first became aware of Westinghouse Generators when my neighbor purchased a WGen9500DF a year ago. His home which is similar to mine with about 2800 sq-ft of heated space. He had an electrician install a 50-amp connection and lockout in his main electrical panel. Through a couple of power outages his house was running like normal while I struggled with a smaller generator. I finally had enough and purchased a Wen9500DF for my home and could not be more pleased. It is a well-built and easy to set-up and use. The propone option is fantastic. It runs everything without a hitch.
I bought this generator a week ago. Instructions to assemble were clear and direct and all parts required were there. I had it up and running on propane in about an hour. Remote start worked as advertised and made it easy or an old guy like me to get it started. I have started the engine break in exercise recommended in the instruction manual and have had no issues. I'm actually looking forward to the next time we loose power to fully test it out.
