Bought this unit as backup in case electrical goes out this winter. We have 2 elderly people living with us who do not do well when disruptions occur. The unit was easy to set up, took maybe 20 mins to get it ready. As this is a gas/propane unit- I decided to use the propane side of things. Got everything set correctly and the unit started running immediately. This unit will come in handy. It appears to be well made and is extremely easy to use.
We finally had to use our generator a few days ago, because of a prolonged power outage. It was more than satisfactory, generating the power required to keep our most important appliances running and helping to preserve hundreds of dollars of frozen goods.
I got this only a few days ago and can already tell from the documentation that this is a quality product. Good documentation makes starting to use any product both easier and more efficient, so thanks, Westinghouse!
Before making such a big purchase I did a lot of shopping and research on different generators and which would be the best choice for my family. I needed one that would be dependable, could run an RV or a section of my house when we loose power. The WGen9500DF came with clear instructions of initial set up, how to crank, and how to add to the load in stages. I chose to run it with propane instead of gas so it would run cleaner and propane has a longer shelf life. But I am glad to have the option to do either. We have not lost power yet, but the set up and initial cranking has been exactly what I was hoping for.
Have had the generator for over a month now during a long power outage. Very easy to assemble. Hardest part was putting the oil in which there is a funnel provided and just make sure you pour it in slow. Not an issue at all. Not very loud at all. Was able to run water heater and Pellet Stove while also powering all the 110 outlets in the home including Frig and Freezer. Very happy with the power output.
