Seems excellent! Time and use will really tell.

Compared to other generators it maybe a nice stand out and improved refinements. We will see.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dependable?
on September 17, 2024
Posted by: PapaTJ
from Frederick, CO
I purchased a Westinghouse WGEN9500DF (via Amazon) a few months ago. Initially, it worked fine, the remote fob was a real plus (using it to power my 5th wheel, I didn't need to shut it down outside, at the generator). The problem arose when I simply moved the generator. I shut it down, relocated it, then...NO PUSHBUTTON START..NO REMOTE/FOB START (only started via recoil/pullcord).
Yes...battery fine. No failure codes indicated.
So, since I need this generator, I'll be troubleshooting electronics myself (as generator will shutdown via fob but will not start).

Easy Operation

Purchased this ahead of possible hurricanes. Easy to set up, and easy to operate. Instructions are clear. Dual fuel is a great feature to have. Plenty of outlets.

HORRIBLE User Manual, The product might be okay
on October 15, 2024
Posted by: FrustratedbyMiltonandW
from Tampa, FL
The user manual looks like it was written entirely by a lawyer who has never seen let alone used a generator.The English language portion is 31 pages long and at least 85% "NOTICE" "DANGER" "CAUTION" or "WARNING" etc Additionally, it mentions things that it never tells you how to use or even where it's located like the "Eco Mode Switch." Also, it has a dial selector for the type of fuel that makes it look like you can "mix" the type of fuels but it never states whether this is possible or why they have a selector like this (maybe that's the Eco Mode Switch, nothing indicates that). As I indicated, this may be a decent product. I just finished using it for 5 days and it performed well enough but I don't really have any idea if I got the best out of it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have worked on and assembled many gas products in my lifetime and this was by far the easiest product to assemble. Started right up and sounds great.
