I just bought this generator. It appears to be built well and the electric start feature is very convenient. Once I have used it heavily, I will update if there are any issues.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Transfer Switch Ready?

I purchased the WGen9500DF to power my small house and shop during Davey Tree Power outages (PGE NorCal). Upon receiving the generator and setting it up, I ran it on propane for an hour. This thing is a beast! The remote works perfectly. Starting and stopping the generator from inside the house. (within line of site) I found that it was necessary to change the oil after that first hour test/break in, because there appeared to be enough metallic debris in the oil to warrant it. I found it easy to drain and refill the oil in the generator without making a mess. A little over a quart of oil is cheap insurance that our new Westinghouse generator will last a Long time. The only disappointment was that the air filter was not installed correctly at the factory. The outer portion of the two stage filter was Not fitted in the filter box correctly so the filter box cover cut into it. I called customer service for a replacement. Also "transfer switch ready" appears to mean that I have to use the Westinghouse ST switch, with extension cords to have the generator automatically start for back up power. I called tech support and have yet to hear back.

After seeing the issues Texas had last year I decided it would be best to at least be prepared. I bought this generator because it is large enough to run my house without having to worry. I am installing an on demand water heater so we will have everything we need to survive if things get bad. I believe it is money well spent!!

Bought this to power our whole home. Hopefully we won’t have to use it. However, it has so many great features that it definitely should not disappoint if we do. Love the stand alone feature the best and that we can tie into our main line.

GREAT BACKUP FOR POWER OUTAGES

Great users manual, easy assembly. When I added the oil and attached an LPG tank, and connected the battery it start up instantly. This is large enough to power my home during emergency outages. We live in area where severe weather occurs several times a year which can cause extended power outages. The dual fuel gives me peace of mind knowing I will have the flexibility to power the generator during power outages during natural disasters. I am happy with the purchase and I have no doubt it will serve my future needs.
