Been looking for the best quality for the money, took 4 months of research, and this was it! Solid construction and started up immediately, ran for an hour to test... awesome product!!
Bought this a month ago our only problem was we couldn't find the remote control we contacted Westinghouse they told us to look on the pull start rope. Even though instructions says the remote is in the bag the person from Westinghouse told us too many people couldn't find the remote probably tossed them out on the trash so they now out it on the pull start rope. Your welcome we suggest Westinghouse add a note to say where the remote is stored. Other than that so far this unit has operated fantastic. We have started on both propane and gas starts right up. Didn't even have to program the remote it worked first try. We still haven't put a load on it yet.
Read the reviews, Westinghouse generator highly rated, so ordered one big enough to power major appliances in home. Very nice unit with excellent documentation. I recommend this if you are looking for a generator.
I have been reading reviews and researching generators for over a year now. I narrowed my search down to what I would realistically need. The Westinghouse Wgen9500 and wgen9500df were in our top three. The third was a Honda. It came down to value, features, ease of use and service after the sale. I tested engine speed which should be (60 hertz) it was actually 59.9 which is within range. Sine wave output measured at 49 which is perfect meaning the peaks and valleys of the waveform are equal. I did not find the same on some of the other brands. This will be connected to our meter allowing us to power the crucial circuits within our home during an outage.
Features we love:
Remote start, Push to start, and recoil cord as the back up!
4 GFCI 20A 120v outlets (most comparable units came with only 2)
Wide mouth filler neck for refueling (minimize spills)
Oversized solid wheels that make it easy to roll over rocks and debris easily.
Battery, tow handle and wheel kit included (some charge extra $$$)
I bought this generator to ensure that my whole house was covered in the case of an emergency. I followed the start-up directions, read the manual and am happy to report that it has started up with no problem! I tested the manual start, the electric start and the remote start, all with no issues. I can't wait to get my tranfer switch installed and put this beast to the test!
Just received my new generator the design and features are amazing. It’s the best looking unit on the market with the power to run my whole house. Westing house has the best reputation. Can’t wait for the power to go out, joking.
