I was looking for a generator to provide emergency backup to critical circuits in my home. I researched for about two months before settling on the WGen9500DF. I have only had it for two days. Time will tell how it holds up. I was skeptical at the build quality, and expected it to be a cheaply made Chinese generator private labeled under the Westinghouse name. After un-crating and setting up the build quality far exceeded my expectations. It was manufactured in China but indicates engineered in Columbus Ohio. A majority of the parts are cast or stamped metal. The air filter housing is stamped metal. I expected cheap plastic. The frame is solid tube steel. Compared to other models that I considered from WEN and Honda this unit definitely has the best overall value. Westinghouse did an amazing job of balancing features and price. To be clear it is not a Honda, but for the money it is not a fair comparison. The dual fuel is a great feature. The remote start is neat too, but not really a sales feature that I considered. The included tool kit was a surprise. It comes with a combination wrench with two different sizes that fits most of the hardware on the unit and a spark plug wrench packed in a well stitched nylon tool bag. The tools are solid quality and not the disposable tools that come with do it yourself furniture. They remind me of the multi tool that comes with a Stihl chainsaw.
Ordered it last week and received it the next. I was looking for a dual fuel generator and this fit the bill. Set up was easy, only needed to attach wheels and feet and fill with the provided quart of oil. I connected it to my propane tank and it fired up immediately. It has a 50A socket that will allow me to hook up to my bypass box and now and ready for Florida hurricane season!
