I purchased this generator last month as a backup for my house. I love all the features. Very easy to setup. It is great that I can use both propane and gasoline. Excellent purchase.
I bought a month ago. Great that it runs on gas or propane. Love that it will run on the 500gallon tank I have in the back yard. Hope I never need it but glad I have it for emergencies.
I bought this one because I got tired of maintaining my 15 year old generator. I also wanted something with plenty of power. I have run several tests on it. It definitely has all of the power that I need and is easy to use with the remote start.
The Westinghouse Generator WNGEN9500DF is a great generator. It was easy to set-up and test. We are very pleased with the generator and highly recommend it.
I just purchased this generator for my house. This is the second Westinghouse generator I have purchased. This model has everything you need. Highly recommended.
ust got it tested after transfer switch install. Started after third try. Noise level is higher than moderate. I def would not place it behind bedroom wall. Got 9500DF and tested it with gazoline - after electric dryer started , voltage dropped ( I can tell by dimming lights in the house ) for few seconds, but after that , it picked up. Not bad, fairly priced.
Absolutely amazing generator. Starts on the first push of the start button. The key fob works great from inside my home. I have a 1400 square foot home with a 2.5 ton unit and this generator handles it all. It's a little noisy but quieter than what you would expect from a generator this size. It's heavy but easily movable once you install the wheels. I couldn't be happier with this generator!!!
Purchased in June in anticipation of hurricane season. So far have only 45 minutes of "real" runtime due to a thunderstorm. The AC output is not as "clean" as I would like to be safe for electronics, but that's my fault for not paying attention to specs prior to purchase. I couldn't afford an inverter unit anyhow... .
Pros: Keeps up with demand on household circuits selected through the transfer switch, including one A/C system if I'm careful with the order of switching in the pump and air handler. Seems quite fuel-efficient on gasoline; haven't run it for long enough on propane to evaluate. Cons (minor): 1. Wish it charged the starting battery as I'm likely to forget to plug in the wall-wart... might get a batter maintainer to connect directly. 2. Gas gauge on my unit is "sticky" and inaccurate as though the float is bent -- will eventually pull it and check that. 3. Sometimes takes two "start" cycles to fire up; hopefully this will improve as it breaks in.
