Just Purchased a Westinghouse WGen9500DF, Shipping was great, arrived undamaged in perfect shape via Pitt Ohio. Setup was very easy, just install the wheels, stands, and add oil. Started right up on propane and runs great. It’s quieter than I was expecting which is a plus. I would recommend this generator to anyone looking for a portable home backup in case of power loss, will run my whole 1,100sq. Ft home.
Picked it up about a week ago and completed all the steps prior to and for running it. Started right up without issue. Simple operation. Ran it under load with issue. Voltages all checked out. This was done with a hand held meter as well as the built in generator meter. Easy assembly. Can't beat the price nor all of the positive reviews. This was my final choice when selecting between this gen and a Duromax brand of the equivalent size. The running time was far better before refueling. It was close between the two.
We bought this generator for camping trips off grid. Works great. Easily powered whole camper, including electric fireplace and microwave. Love the remote control and dual fuel feature.
I just purchased this unit and am pleased with the overall appearance and instructions provided. I am pleased to see that it is manufactured in Vietnam because I personally believe that country has a higher quality manufacturing than China. I am looking forward to following the instructions and testing it on both Gasoline and Propane today. Manual Transfer Switch Test will the unit be in a few weeks and live load test comes in 1Q24
Nice unit, sturdy and quality through out! Very heavy, even with the wheels on( they are ball bearing units) it is difficult to move. If you are elderly, take this into account. I am very pleased with this unit and its features.
Super easy start up out of the box. Filled the oil (which is supplied), hooked up a propane tank (connections are supplied), switched on and pushed the remote start fob- started right up. Runs stable and smooth- no clattering or jumping.
