The Best Serious Duty Portable Generator...Period
on March 13, 2021
Posted by: Richard-DIY
from Morgantown, WV
The build quality of this generator has proven a highly reliable source of power during outages. This will last many years and the duel fuel won't leave you stranded when gasoline pumps quit working because the propane is highly convenient.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Caught my Eye at First Sight
on March 21, 2021

This model caught my eye from first sight. The price was right. I really liked the way it looked. Westinghouse is a well-known brand that goes way back for me. Then I started comparing other brands and that’s what really hooked me. This model had all the bells and whistles at a more reasonable price. I read a few reviews and they also spoke well of this model. Bottom line, I am so glad I stuck with my first choice. The Westinghouse WGEN9500DF.
The front panel has covers for all the outlets. Big plus. I learned from other users that dual fuel is a feature to look for. This unit had it. The handles make it easier to move this 220-pound beast of a machine. I can move in in and out of my shed with not a lot of effort or cause for concern.
I fired it up yesterday. It worked out of the box. I even cranked it up by hand and that went well. I hooked it up to my circular saw and a lamp. In a couple of weeks, I’ve got a licensed electrician coming by to connect it to my house electric panel via Reliance Pro Trans 2 50 Amp generator transfer switch.
I’m confident it will handle the 8000-watt load I plant to throw at it without breathing too heavy. This baby maxes out at around 12,500 watts. So, I’ve got room to spare. I will run it in the back yard and connect it to my panel by the front of the house via a 75-foot 50 amp, 6 awg cable.
My plan is to run it every time I mow my lawn. I will try to fit in a full-house power transfer every quarter to make sure my plan is sound.
I am so happy with this purchase.

You gotta get you one!

I am very please with the generator so far. It looks to be well built and loaded with features the . The remote key is a nice touch. At this time I have only tested it with a few appliances such as floor model freezer and a assortment of power tools. It had no problems. Ultimately I plan to have it connected to a transfer switch for home backup. The only minor issue I foresee is that you have to remove a wheel to take the battery out. Nevertheless at this time I highly recommend this unit. You gotta get you one!

Impressive Generator
on April 14, 2021
Posted by: cadetcommander
I just received the generator today, it arrived in perfect condition. The user manual is very concise, so the assembly went without a hitch. I've ordered a 50 amp generator cord to hook the generator directly into the breaker box and will put it to the test soon. With the Florida hurricane season approaching I'm now prepared. One of the reasons I selected this generator is because of the 50 amp outlet. I have a 1400 square foot home so this generator should handle the whole house including the A/C, a requirement for my wife. This generator is packed with features that are only available on more costly generators. Read the reviews, this is the generator you need.

Best Whole Home Backup Generator for the price
on April 18, 2021
Posted by: gr8jrnydmh
from North Central NC
I bought this a week ago and I am so pleased with it so far. I received it earlier than expected, the box was not damaged in any way and everything was in order. All the paperwork was included manuals and all were easy to read with easy to follow instructions. The process of installing the wheels and the feet was easier than I expected and was done with it in just a few minutes with minimal effort and tools. I am ashamed to say that I almost cannot wait for a power outage to put it to the big test. I am confident with what I have seen and experienced that this is absolutely the best choice for the price. Thank You Westinghouse for a great product that meets and exceeds expectations.
