I'm very happy with this product and the fact that I can run it on Propane too making it clean, fast and easy to change tanks instead of pouring gasoline into fuel tank also propane doesn't go bad. Storing is easy without expansion and contraction of gasoline. Also remote start is a great feature starting the generator from the inside of my home or shutting it down when I go sleep at night.
I recently purchased this generator because of all the fire safety power grid shut-downs we're experiencing in CA. I researched numerous other generator manufactures and the Westinghouse WGen9500DF had excellent reviews and was exactly the size/power we needed for our home. The set up was easy and I really like the VFT Data Center feature, it gives me the reading of the voltage, frequency in hertz, lifetime run hours, and run/maintenance. The only con so far and there really isn't a whole lot you can do about it on a generator this size, it is "VERY LOUD". If anything else comes up down the road, I'l definitely give a follow up review.
I have very happy with this generator. We lost power 2 days after the generator arrived. It starts right up the first time. I especially like the remote start, was able to start and stop the generator from inside the house, avoiding the cold and rain.
We live in a area that loses power a lot, with a well pump not being able to take a shower or a simple thing as flushing the toilet was unacceptable to my wife. We're simple country folk and this will pretty much run our whole house. With the remote start feature my wife will be able to start the generator if I'm not at home.
