I am very pleased with my purchase. I really like the dual fuel option and also the keyless starting option.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far so good

Just assembled and fired up for first time instructions were good and fired off on the 3rd attempt. Wheels don’t seem very high quality hope I’m wrong. Love that it comes with oil and a battery. alternator cover was scratched and dented upon arrival. Submitted request for replacement cover I hope they stand by their products. Overall happy but haven’t put it through a long test yet.

Very Impressed

Just received the WGen9500DF generator. A little smaller than I had envisioned (good) but still looks like a very well made workhorse. Very pleased with the instructions and included literature. "Some assembly required" is right but the manual details extremely well.
Packaging was great, well thought out and very protective, it could have suffered a lot of abuse during shipping and still been perfect coming out of box. Included in the box: Oil, wheels, propane adapter hose, remote start fob and ac adapter cable to keep battery charged when not in use. (It even came with a great oil funnel!)
Toughest part of assembly was putting wheels and legs onto frame (you will need two people) but instructions were great and very clear. The manual includes a service schedule that uses the engine hour meter for when certain activities are required. Haven't used in a power outage yet but was pleasantly surprised that the engine meter shows both total run time (cumulative) as well as run time for current session (start to stop).

Great Generator

I bought this generator after the "snowpocalypse" in Texas because I want to be ready for the next tornado, major snowstorm, or natural disaster that takes down the power grid or even major power lines in my area. I like the dual fuel option and push start features and have been working with an electrician to install an interlock switch so this can be hooked up to our house. Now we will be ready and can function as a good neighbor to friends or folks in our neighborhood who may lose power. Come on over! We will still maintain power and be able to operate major appliances at our house! Definitely recommend this to people to be ready just in case of a major emergency.

Awesome!

I have been using an old Coleman 2500w for several years. Once I decided to update, I chose the Westinghouse 9500W DF. So far, so good! Way more power than I had been used too. Not as loud as you would expect for a generator this size. Tires are a little disappointing just being plastic, but I can change those out anytime. Very happy with this Genie!

right size, power and volume

i bought this to replace my 3600 watt generator. purchased online so i didnt see it first, but was surprised to find it was around the same size and volume of my much less powerful generator.
started right up with push button. the remote start/stop is a nice touch.
the build quality is impressive. i didn't realize how poorly my old generator was built before seeing this one. everything is heavy duty, and even the finish is nice. it just looks tough.
i'm having a master transfer switch installed and will use this to power much of the house if needed. hopefully i'll never need it but i am confident i'll be happy if needed.
