Purchased this a month ago to replace a unit that had broken down from another manufacture. This appears to be very well-made and I love the extra features such as having dual fuel, an electric start, a remote start, and a much higher power rating than our previous one. Just hope we never have to use it.

Used my 9500DF twice. The last successful test was a month ago. We are expecting a hard freeze tonight. It won't start this morning. On the phone Customer service is impossible just recording. takes a very long time. I am still going through the motion to get help.

You cannot use it as a standby generator. The RUN switch cannot be left in the run position with the motor off. If you do, the battery will run down. In the run position I'm told that a trickle charger should not be used. The big reason why I bought this was to avoid having to trudge outside in the middle of as snow storm to get it started. Granted, it then is just the flick of a switch and a push of a button, but I'm telling you, the snow and ice storms around here will require full winter garb before getting to the generator. On top of that, I'm recently disabled, leaving my wife to this task. Both she & I thought it was going to be started from inside. Major disappointment. Theoretically, I could hard wire a leg of the run switch to inside the house. Then I could control it all from inside. But, I'm sure Westinghouse will consider this a violation of sorts, and void the warranty. I'm having an electrician out to the house to get his opinion. What it comes down to is this: Why have a remote start key fob if you need to go to the generator first in order to use it? Now the good stuff. Once it's running and hooked into our transfer switch, it powers along without a hiccup. Well pump comes on, and the motor doesn't even hint at strain. The unit, for its weight, is relatively easy to roll around. Controls, outside of above mentioned obstacles, are well laid out and easy to understand. Dual Fuel. Ahhhh, very nice. In the future I will be running on a dedicated propane tank, but for now I'm on gasoline. The same electrician will be installing a service interrupt automatic transfer switch to replace my manual transfer switch. This is going to be great, once I figure a way around the fact that this generator can't be left in the power-up ready position. It is not a stand-by generator if you have to stand by it to make it run. What good is a remote start remote start if you have to walk to the generator first?. I'd like to see any one argue against that if you were in my shape. I can barely walk at this point.

I am a retired government predator control specialist and camped most of my career and owned several generators. This beats everyone by a landslide. Assembly was incredibly easy, remote start is awesome, very quiet especially with propane, starts fast and easily, good stout tires, easy lift handle, cosmetics are very pleasing to the eye, well balanced and study, panel is easy to access and clear, rubber covers to protect outlets from the weather, easy access to battery, even a really nice funnel is included with a pivoting spout, wow that is so nice for putting oil in, a charger is included to charge the battery with the generator, 6.5 gallon gas tank. I am so very impressed with this generator, it's awesome. I'm prepared if tshtf for sure. I can run my entire 4000 square feet house and my well.

I've become disabled, and needed a more powerful generator that I didn't have to hobble outside to start on a cold snowy evening. This fits the bill without breaking the bank. I wish Westinghouse sold a whole house automatic transfer switch. But that doesn't count as a negative for the generator review. My wife is extremely pleased. Runs a mini-split along with the well pump and all the 220B circuits. I used LP to heat water, cook, and dry clothes so I don't have to worry about that load. Highly recommend Westinghouse generators. Snag one when they're available because they sell out quickly.

Finally upgraded to a more powerful generator with great features: electric start and remote too which is very convenient; it is tri fuel so we have choices, yesterday successfully tested with propane, and plan to have it hooked up to natural gas soon, gasoline is another option of course. So far very happy with the purchase and hopefully for many years to come.

Haven’t had to use it yet for an emergency but starts and runs easily. Also handle attached makes it easy to move. Haven’t run it on propane yet but the instructions are simple enough and should be an easy switch. I plan to hook it to a disconnect on the house to power essential appliances and a few lights during a power outage.

Very versatile with multiple receptacles and dual fuel. Love the multiple starting options (remote, push-button, recoil). Had to use recoil start for first gasoline start but after that it started easily for all methods. Purchased primarily for use as backup in case of power outage, but everything tested has worked just fine.

i was impressed before i ordered it. i was even more impressed once received it. it has features that are not even mentioned in the description. it has everything needed. nothing else to buy. complete hookup, gasoline and propane. PERFECT Thanks Westinghouse for a great product'

We have tested this generator several times and it has run wonderfully every time using both gasoline and propane. It is very robust and powerful. Starts quickly and includes an excellent user manual. Labeling on the unit itself could be improved slightly. I put my own label on the small silver gasoline switch that is located on the side and not included with the operating panel. I also labeled the propane inlet port. A wattage meter is desperately needed to determine load. It does have a voltage meter, but wattage would be so much better.
