Great when Needed

I bought this a couple weeks ago after loosing power at home for 4 days and extreme low temperatures outside. We had intermittent power from the power company and rolling blackouts. With this generator now I can worry less about keeping the house above 50F or being able to provide light safely without candles all throughout the house.

Plenty of power

I've been very pleased with this generator. It's definitely a big generator but it's easy to maneuver for how big it is. and also for the size it's pretty quiet. Very easy to assemble. The remote start and dual fuel features are a great plus also. It took about a month to be delivered but I guess that's to be expected.

Solid Generator Easy to use!

I bought this to upgrade my 25 year old generator with much more power. Its very heavy but once the wheels are installed its easy to move around. I installed the wheels myself but I recommend you have another person to help. I hooked up a propane tank & it started right up. I ran 2 ac units my fridge, big TV, all lights in the house. I have a transfer switch 30 amp, & 2 15 amp 12 gauge cords hooked up too. Runs great. I wished I bought this earlier when a storm knocked out our power for 2 days a month ago in Houston, Highly recommend this generator!

Quality generator and a good price

Was worried about the weight but it was shipped on a small pallet which made it easy to put on the wheels. Had an electrician install a transfer switch on the outside of my house and the generator was able to power the whole house include the AC. Happy with this purchase.

Hurricane Preparedness

Bought this generator after being without power for 1 week due to Hurricane Beryl. Hope to connect this generator to power most of the house, mainly the AC/Heat, using the 50amp. I turned it on once I got it using propane and the remote start fired up with ease, the push-button with ease, but the pull start not so much. I pulled it 3 times and nothing but it may have just been my bad shoulder not able to give it enough pull.

Perfect Home Back-Up Generator

I purchased this generator as a back-up power source in the case that my home loses service. I had a transfer switch installed, and this unit will power my home as needed. The 9500DF runs longer on a fuel load than comparable models, and the ability to easily switch to propane as another fuel is great. My first experience with electric start and automatic choke, both work flawlessly.

Great buy for the money

I originally purchased a smaller Ryobi generator after a power outage due to a hurricane and it did the job, but I wanted to get more power! (Que grunts) I looked into all the options and in my opinion, this is by far the best in this class range compared to the others with the options and power available to me now. Now I can power anything in the house I need for long power outages without the need to pull start(even though the motor starts right up with the first pull anyways). Haven't had to use it for that yet luckily, but I know I don't have to worry about that anymore. For the price, this is a great long-term investment.

Extra sense of security

Great unit. Easy to use and start. Versatile with the duel fuel. I’m more comfortable storing a supply of propane than gasoline. When it’s going to be used for an extended period, I can go get additional gas to keep it running while the propane is in use. I had a transfer switch put on the house, so very easy to run everything I need in my home when the grid is down.

Unuse Genenerator

I received the generator two days before a pending freeze; however, we never lost [power so the generator was never tested. I've decided to use it solely on propane in the future to avoid the hassles of gasoline use (monthly startups, water in gas, varnishing in carb, etc.) so the dual fuel option will be fully used.

Great Generator

Bought the generator for the house and RV. Tested the genny today, plugged into the 20 amp circuit and tested each roof top unit and the genny didn't flinch at all. Much to my surprise I was able to start the A/C units using the thermostat in auto mode. Even at camp sites with a 30amp receptacle I have trouble, so the generator performs well. If the performance is good on the 20 amp circuit, the 50 amp with a dog bone to 30amp should be great. The generator is a little fiddly to get going on propane but straight out of the box it started with no issues on propane. It can cough and splutter trying to start with the key fob. While I find the fob a neat gadget, I find I still need to move and place the generator and then throw the breakers to make it supply electric. Also the "ignition switch" does need to be in the on position to utilize the fob, and there could be the possibility of running the starting battery down. However, with this being said, the onboard Onan marquis LP on the motorhome can be a bit of a task to get going. So comparing the 2 side by side, the Westinghouse starts right up. As far as the Westinghouse brand goes, I have had a Westinghouse LCD TV from 2007, still functioning flawlessly, been aggressively transported to other homes etc and has stood the test of time and still works well. In conclusion, following the user manual and maintenance intervals there really shouldn't be an issue with operating the generator for years to come.
