Great giant for the price

This generator is excellent in handling power outages compared to more expensive ones that cannot handle what this one does. I ran it today with 2 freezers and a refrigerator hooked into the 30 amp feed. I connected each one per the manual and didn't even hear any surge as they were connected. This tells me the generator is powerful. It also has 4 20 amp connections as well

Quit running after 10 min

I just purchased this generator and did all rechecks and ran unit for about 10 min on propane and was good. Then needed it last night so I hooked it up and it ran power to my items for about 5-8 min and then it died. Tried restarting and it backfired several time and that was it. Would not run. Ended up putting a little gas I had, no more available at night and it finally ran but would not run at all on propane so I was stuck with no power. Call CS and all they will do is send me a new regulator to see if it fixes it but it will take about a week. Wow what a joke and the store I bought it from said they can't help per policy. This company should be able to call the store and have them supply the part as they sell that part but the manufactu...

    Bought a second one for my son

    I appreciated the first one (minus the c02 sensor) so much that I bought a second one for my son. Easy to start, relatively quiet, and the ability to run off of gas or propane provides me with options when supplies run low after a bad storm.

    Worth Every Penny

    We bought our generator 3 weeks ago as my elderly father is now on oxygen 24/7, meaning we cannot go without power. This machine was so easy to assemble and the features are everything I need to handle it by myself.

    Runs smoothly and quietly

    Generator started up and ran smoothly and quietly on propane. Have yet to try using gas. The remote start feature was a nice touch - being able to turn it on once hooked up without having to go back out yet again in the winter time was sweet.

    Great Generator

    The 12500/9500 capacity in wattage is perfect as a back up generator for dwellings. Just remember, if its being hooked up to the dwelling be sure to unbond it by hiring a licensed electrician

    MY NEW INSURANCE POLICY

    Just purchased this to power our home when we lose electricity. Simple assembly, and she's ready for action. Love the fetchers, built in battery tender, nice touch guys! Hope not to need it for a good while, but she's a beast so we ready if needed.

    Sleek and Sexy

    Westinghouse makes a beautiful looking generator! Directions were easy to follow for first time use. Looking forward to using it during hurricane season.

    It covers it all

    I had a 4500 and couldn't run my AC, so I just bought the 9500DFc and this baby runs everything in my home. At a decent price as well. Best thing I ever did, especially in this unpredictable world weather wise.

    Fabulous Purchase

    I live in Florida. The Westinghouse generator is the perfect addition to protecting my home during our ever-changing weather. This model was recommended by my electrician. Very happy with my choice.

    Perfect for what we need

    I just bought this and have assembled it. I put the oil and gas in it and it started right up using the remote. Have not had to put it to the test yet.

    Great features

    Just took it out of the box and put the wheels on it. I like all the features, especially the dual fuel and remote start. The large wheels and handle make it easy to move around. Will update once I do the initial break in of 5 hours.

    Great generator at good price point

    Received our generator yesterday - packaged perfectly and had it setup and ready to run in less than 30 minutes. So far it appears to be a great quality product at a good price point.

    Meets all my needs plus!

    I live in Florida and loose power due to hurricanes. This generator provides plenty of backup power and is convenient since it uses both propane and gas.

    What a finished product should be!

    Was very very surprised at everything that was included. The overall bells and whistles are worth the money. The extra funnel to add oil tells me that this is a quality product and it powers my entire house. Bring on bad weather!!

    W9500DFc Generator

    Bought this and fired right up on the first start. Easy assembly and easy to use. Great to have something to power most of the house if not the whole thing in a power loss situation. Highly recommend.

    GREAT QUALITY

    have not had a chance to use it at this point, but during assembly/preparation, I am impressed with the quality of the unit and how well the operation parameters have been designed.

    A Dream for Senior Citizens!

    Love this generator!!! So easy to start for me and my wife since we are both senior citizens with arthritis. We could not start our old generator anymore - it was just too much for us. Thank You Westinghouse!!!

    Up and running

    Just unboxed, wheel kit was quick to install, ran on propane and gasoline, all great Mice to finally have a generator with an electric start. Remote start is a nice bonus.

    Ready to Go!

    Purchased after two separate episodes of losing power for 3 days each. Have not had to use yet, but purchased based on research and reviews - and am confident it will do the job. Easy to assemble and ready to go!

    A Great Generator It's Been a Life Saver!

    I bought this generator due to a major storm knocking out the power. It's been 9 days and still no power. The generator is great! It's easy to set up and runs great! So happy with this purchase! I highly recommend!
