We recently moved to a rural area and have been experiencing power outages on a fairly regular basis. They generally don't last more than a couple hours or so, but during below zero temps even a couple hours is a concern. Having a generator became a priority, and after some research the 9500 seemed a no-brainer. Fortunately the previous owner had wired for a generator, so all we had to do was plug it in. Within a couple weeks of installation the power went down, and mere minutes later we were back up and all was well. It's a great feeling knowing that if, for whatever reason, we lose power that we'll have it back on in moments and this 9500 will provide as much power as we need without a problem. One note: If it's cold out you'll have to manually move the chock to its fully closed position. It wasn't that cold (probably well above freezing) the first time I hooked it up for a test, and I assumed, since it was relatively mild out, that the automatic choke would set itself to start the engine. I made several attempts to start the generator without success and then remember a note about setting the chock manually. I set it, and the generator fired immediately. I seriously doubt one could do better than this generator in its class, especially for the price. We couldn't be happier with it.

I researched for a replacement for my burned out unit and of everything I saw this looked like the best of all worlds for a very reasonable price. The electric start is a life saver for my wife if I am out of town on business and she loses power. Terrific layout for controls and large fuel tank for extended outages.

As an elderly veteran, I needed a reliable, simple-to-use generator here in Louisiana, where we frequently lose power. This Westinghouse 9500 has proven to be just that. I use propane, which stores well for long periods, and the remote electric start is simply a dream come true. No more yanking a recoil chord, although it has one as a back-up if necessary. Thanks Westinghouse, for building a GREAT yet simple machine. (and what little assembly it needed, was also super simple.)

I bought this generator back in January but it was 2 months before I had time to get it up and running. I am off the grid and use it to supplement my solar when needed. It was easy to setup and get started. It worked great and was able to run my house while also recharging the solar batteries.

I bought this six months ago and was able to use it this past week with a tornado taking out our power for several days. I was able to connect this to a transfer switch and run our whole house comfortably. Excellent generator with easy set up. 10/10 would recommend!

I purchased this Generator because of the Westinghouse reputation in the area of Power Generation. If you can run a Nuclear power plant, there is probably a good chance make a good personal generator for home use in times of unplanned Power outages. The generator runs fantastic and the Key Fob allows remote Start and Stop activation. I bought this generator because it has plenty of power for its size, it has a 50amp plug, and the awesome REMOTE START. I removed the battery for winter storage, but removal of battery required the easy removal of the wheel caster before removal of bracket. I believe this generator is not that loud. I hear it outside my house very very low mostly because I have good insulation. It's sounds like a very very low hum from inside my house.

I just received my new dual fuel generator and although quite heavy it was fairly easy to assemble the wheels and mounting brackets. I am extremely pleased with the solid construction and many features. I am somewhat conflicted because I live in Florida and as much as I want to use it, I hope I don't have to, since that will generally involve a hurricane or other type of disaster.

the WGen9500 dual fuel is simple to start and swap out fuel sources with the propane option. Needing only a couple propane tanks instead of fighting for multiple gallons of gas during the course of a hurricane is worth the price alone. This generator runs the house water pump, AC, refrigerators, freezers, during power outages for about 12 hours on a single 20 lb tank of propane. I love it!

Generator arrived in a really nice sturdy box. Other generators I have bought have broken boxes because they are so heavy. No problems here. Easily unboxed and finished installation including installing the wheels and adding oil. Hooked it up to propane and started right up. I haven't had to use yet under a heavy load but working fine so far under a light load. Ultimately plan to connect it to a house transfer switch to power the entire house.

Arrived in good shape. Set up was no problem. Ran on propane first time and it started using remote first try. Haven’t used on the house yet, awaiting transfer switch. But, as I work on frozen drink machines in my garage, I hooked up a few and the Westinghouse 9500df handled with ease. I believe it will handle my house with no problem.
