Westinghouse WGen9500DFc

I bought this generator shortly after losing power due to Huricane Milton knocking out my power for 2 days. I had breakers set up in my service box so that I can run 50AMPs to my panel when the power is out. There was minimal setup with this. Just a couple wheels, add oil and plug in the battery.
The folding handle makes it easy to move around, so the weight of the generator is not an issue. I took it for a test drive. Used the remote FOB. Worked like a charm. Tried th push button start on the generator,,, also worked great. No futzing around with a choke or gasoline.
I really like that I can use Propane for this and not have to worry about old gasoline left in the generator. I purchased a few 20LB tanks this will give me more than a 24 hour period of "clean running". There will be enough power here to run my AC Central Air, refridgerator and some lights!
I hate to wish for a storm, but I am secretly hoping for a power outage so that I can use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked out of the box!!!

Generator worked right out of the box with no issues. I choose to start with the propane fuel, as that is what I will be using. First I used the oil, and supplied funnel, to top of the oil. (Very easy with the special funnel) All the propane hookups were also supplied and fit my propane tank with no issues. Made sure the fuel selector was pointing to propane, again very easy and up front. I used the remote start and after a few seconds the generator popped off and ran smoothly. Very easy with little effort. I ran it for about a half hour trying different loads all of which it handled with no issues. Seems to be a very solid build piece of equipment. We now feel good knowing we have a reliable source of electric should something happen to the electric grid.

Best Generator on the market.

I purchased the WGen9500DFc to run my home. I live in Texas and this year alone I was out of power for five days. With this generator that will never happen again. It is very well built and once I got the wheels on I am able to pull it around. I followed the instructions and it started up right away using the remote fob. I also have a iGen4500DF that I use for my RV. I trust the Westinghouse brand for quality products. .

So far, so good!

Purchased to replace a 15 year old manual pull generator from a competitor that was becoming more and more difficult to start. I needed something easy and reliable so the whole family would be comfortable using it. Not only was I able to get a more powerful machine, but with remote start and dual fuel!?!?! Why didnt I buy this sooner!

Shocked at all the great features

I just purchased the WGen9500DFc and can't believe all the features it has. From the push button start, the remote, and the charger for the battery. It is an incredible deal for the price and power. My only concern is I still haven't found the ECO switch and can't find any info to it's location.
