We are a family of 7 and needed a nice generator. We live in the woods and power goes out often. This generator is easy to use , starts right up and was able to be used with our hard wired panel for supplying power to our entire home.
Works great, I ran it on both types of fuel, used the battery to start and the pull rope with no problems. Would recommend this generator to all of my Friends
Living in Florida means hurricanes that usually come with power failure. After the last batch of back to back storms our generator decided to stop generating. Not what anyone needs!! Did the research and the Westinghouse Wfen9500DF stood out from the others. Love the dual fuel option and of course the remote start key fob. Set in up with ease thanks to the great instructions in the manual and ran it for the 5 hour break in period since there may be yet another storm aiming at us for next week. Planning on having this one wired into the electrical panel so no more extension cords!! The only downside to this generator is that it is very noisy. But won't care too much when we have our next power outage.
I purchased this generator to use in the event of power failure - mainly to run my well pump. I'm confident it will run my pump and quite a bit more. The product was well packaged and easy to set up. The directions could be a bit more clear - many product features referred to in the directions are not called out properly on the illustrations. That said, it is a very well designed and user friendly machine - both in setup and operation
I love this duel fuel generator. Packaging was perfect. All accessories were in the box. My contractor installed our 10 circuit transfer switch. Plugged in the generator and it started first attempt. AFTER adding the oil, attaching to the propane tank and wheels! Just perfect. Oh and the generator is pretty to look at! No messy gasoline to deal with. I highly recommend.
A beast of a machine and with the dual Fuel feature it will run clean with out handling the gas part. I did like that if I use gas there is a gauche to see how much gas it's in the generator. I was about to send it back when the delivery man had problems getting the generator in to my garage, so heavy. To my surprise, once the wheels and the handle were installed I was able to move that generator around with ease; I'm 79! I have a 50amp outlet installed outside, really nice machine get it!
