Whole House use

Just bought the WGen9500DF model.
Waiting for electrical contractor to install connection to my house power supply. Planning on using when power goes out. I’ll let you know how it works after my first use.

Great Generator! Great Value for the money!

This generator is chock full of features-including a trickle charger, ability to run on propane or gasoline, has 30 and 50 amp outlets, auto chock, remote start and more. Plus, in my opinion, it is much quieter than my previous portable generator.
My electrician installed an manual interlock system and we tested it out. Started my central air-28,500 BTUs with now problem. Also, started and ran my 50 gal. water heater with AC running-though he didn't recommend doing that due to energy
usage concerns. He was very impressed with this generator's handling as we put it thru it's "paces" in turning breakers on and off.
usage concerns. He was very impressed with this generator's handling as we put it thru it's "paces" in turning breakers on and off.
I hope I don't have to use it for a power outage, but I'm in Florida and this is supposed to be a really active hurricane season...so I have the peace of mind of knowing that I'm prepared- kind of like an insurance policy I hope
Also, I have read about how hard it is to connect the 50amp cord to the outlet on the generator due to its proximity to the top of the wheel. Yes, I did need to use a little effort to get the cord to bend enough at the top of the wheel to allow for me to plug it in properly but I don't feel it took that much effort but I know it could be different for others.
The one thing I am concerned about is that it's not supposed to be used in the rain. I wish that Westinghouse had an inexpensive way of housing the generator outside to protect it from the elements. However, I may have found a solution on YouTube for a DIY shelter...so we'll see.
Regardless, my first impression, and I will only use the propane, is that this is a really substantial generator.

Awesome Power

I purchased this powerful generator after having a smaller one what a difference. This Westinghouse runs all our camper needs both air conditioners and the micro wave all at once. It has amazing power with great features like remote start, and it is no louder than our small one. We love it
