Excellent Generator

Very easy to operate and powerful generator. I considered getting a full-time house backup generator but after considering that we very seldom lose power here in eastern NC for more than a few days, I decided to get the 9500df. This generator powers the entire house along with two refrigerators and a freezer. Couldn't ask for a better product for the price!

Plenty of Power

I bought This about a month ago and as soon as the electrician finished with the electrical part we try it, my house is a 2000 sf and this thing was able to power the whole house including the AC. I hope we don't have again a situation like we had in Texas the past February but if it happens at least I'll be prepared.

What a powerhouse!

came very well cared for. easy start-up procedure, just add oil and push button. ran on propane started right-up on first shot, ran for an hour with alternating power tools and no signs of distress, even with heavy draw from compressor. Feeling very confident when power goes down as it always does up here in northern ny. I am very impressed with how solid it all seems and I would surely recommend this gen. to anyone...P.S I am 70 and could easily pull it around the house some 40'

Easy Start!

After losing power for 6 days during an ice storm, I thought it was about time to buy myself some portable power. This is my first ever generator purchase and it was a breeze from the start! Easy, push start and very simple to move from gasoline to propane.

Trouble starting

Would not start on gasoline, 10 attempts. Hooked up propane. It started up on first try. I ran it for 30 minutes, shut it down, switched to gasoline. It started up. Problem solved it self, I think. I have run it for 2 hours, letting it cool down and will try a restart.

Great Features with Dual Fuel and Amps

I was so excited to get this with the amount of power it provides and with dual fuel options. Westinghouse has a great reputation and I look forward to seeing it prove itself when I am in a situation where I am required to use it (power loss, need extra power in a an area without electricity).

Great Product

The generator arrived without incident and the delivery agent placed it in my garage as requested. A suggestion for the instructions... when unpacking it is helpful to slit the box at all 4 corners and that allows a cardboard cushion for tipping the generator on end to install the 2 feet and the wheels. This save wrestling with the weight of it. The assembly including adding oil went well. Connecting the battery was as simple as placing the connector together. The startup worked perfectly and the remote setup worked as documented. Connecting a 50 amp power cable to the generator was a bit of a tussel given the diameter and close clearance between the socket and the wheel but everything came together and functioned perfectly. The next step will be a load test to determine exactly which household circuits I can energize refrigerator, water heater, a/c units etc and the associated trade offs. Overall I am pleased with my purchase and the installation. The generator could be a little quieter but for the price we will put up with the noise... can't speak for the neighbors of course. I hope this is an insurance policy against having a hurricane show up on our doorstep.

This Generator does it all at a great price.

I live in California in the foothills where PGE shuts off power during drought conditions and high winds. This generator is so easy to use has so much power and can run on gas or LP. I run my well pump which gives me water and I can flush the toilet which is better than having to flush with buckets of water. Remote start is awesome I can start it in any room of my house. The price rocks and the noise is not too bad.

Perfect for my backup home power needs.

Runs great. Loads of power. Had a problem with no start right out of the box. Contacted support. Problem was easily resolved by removing and then manually activating the solenoid plunger on the bottom of the carb float. Reconnected the solenoid. Started right up. Shouldn't have been a problem, but I'm satisfied with the result.
