Superb power and reliability

I just purchased the Wgen9500DF generator to upgrade and replace my Generac GP6500. The Westinghouse offers more power and features for the money. Added a interlock switch to my home breaker panel and outlet to plug this unit in and power my home. I have only used it for testing purposes, but I am prepared for a power outage now.

Powerful and easy to use

Just got it so haven't had a chance to use it much, but so far it seems like it will get the job done. No more frozen pool equipment or burst pipes and I won't freeze in my own home ever again! I used a transfer switch to hook it directly to the circuits I need most, so ERCOT, I'm ready for another one of your total failures!

Easy to operate

Operational features are easy to use and having a remote device to start up the generator is a plus. The generator can be moved around easily with the wheels attached. Yes, there is noise, but not as loud as I anticipated. The one suggestion I would make is to specify the amount of oil to use. One quart was provided, but it required 1 1/2. The manual didn't indicate the amount.

Features we need in our rural area.

My husband Robin (he is the one who really wanted a generator) and I bought this model because of the portability, the dual fuel source and its ability to give power to our home not if but when we lose our "grid" power source. I cannot say it is excellent (5 stars is perfection to me) nor can I say it is only good (4 stars) but somewhere in between. We are comfortable knowing we have backup power plus power we can use in places that don't have an electrical source. Thank you Westinghouse for another wonderful product!!

Solid Product! As Described

I've only owned the generator a short time, but having owned other portable generators, this has been by far the best of them. Very solid! Everything arrived just as described. Followed the setup instructions to the letter and it fired right up and purred like an overgrown kitten. Is it odd that I'm wanting the power to go off to give it a try?

Graet features

I bought this after seeing my brother in law's genset perform during a 4 day power outage over xmas. This product has lots of interesting features and is well built. Can't wait to use it during our next power outage. We live in the country, so we often have power outages that last more than one day. I will be able to power all my house with this unit.

Dual Fuel 12500 peak watt generator

I just got mine delivered yesterday while doubting that this specific model would be enough to power my whole shop but man I tell you, first start up turned on with no problems no factory defects and exceeded my expectations. Really recommend it to anybody looking for their first generator.

9500DF - Very Happy Customer

Shipping: well packaged; no damage Unpacking/Assembly: No missing parts; assembly was simple, but the generator is heavy, so you should have 2 people to remove from packaging an putting on the wheels/stands; no issues adding oil; also plugged in the battery tinder to make sure we topped off High Altitude Kits: I had to wait to receive the generator to get the serial number to be sure of the correct high altitude kits to purchase; then I had to call customer support to find out where to order the parts. They were helpful and directed me to the URL to purchase the parts. I would have preferred the information was more easily found. First Start Up: I will be hooking this up to the house propane, but until I have the T installed, I simply hooked it up to a 20g BBQ tank I had. Instructions for start up were easy to follow. The generator started up easily with the electric start button. Couldn't be happier about the electric start. Pairing the Key Fob was also straight forward. Really happy with the purchase.

Good with propane.

This is powerful for the price. Well built. Good quality. Starts easy with propane. Will not cold start with gasoline. I use plus gas but it will not cold start. After running with propane for a half hour, I can turm it off , switch to gas and then it starts. Assembly was easy. Also the gas gauge does not show any level. Even so I purchased a second one for my son. Same issue with no cold start using gasoline. But the power and price for propane is good.

Westinghouse Generator 9500

Just bought this Generator, due to seeing high reviews for it. Loved the fact that it is dual power, and portable. Living in Florida you really need one. And this one fits all my needs. Would recommend the 9500 dual power generator by Westinghouse to anyone needing one.
