Generator ordered 8/21, arrived 8/24. Box was a little torn at the corner but did not affect the generator that was well protected. I have not yet started it up since we still have some electrical to do. Will update this review if I encounter any problems.

I own a smaller Westinghouse generator which we use at the deer camp. I was so pleased with its performance and ease of use, a larger Westinghouse generator for whole house backup seemed an obvious choice. The WGen9500DF, in addition to the convenient dual fuel capability, also supports the Westinghouse Smart Switch. Automatically starting the generator and transferring critical loads to backup power, gives me peace of mind that my home will be well taken care of when I am away on business. Anyone in the market for an emergency generator could not go wrong by purchasing any of Westinghouse' fine products. I look forward to many years of trouble-free operation.

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.

I really like the heavy duty frame and solid construction! It is heavy, but easy to move with the enclosed wheel kit and stout handles. I purchased it to power our home during the numerous power outages we have here in rural Wyoming (3 so far this year). The generator works great with the 50amp outlet as we have an electric water heater and we're on well water, so we can keep the furnace going in the winter and have hot water. It keeps our fridge and freezers going too! I really like the duel fuel feature as I have 5 full propane tanks (30 and 40 lb) and 3 or 4 full 5 gallon gas containers at all times, when the power is out for 3 or more days, this works great!!!

It arrived undamaged which is always a good start. Assembly was easy and it is very nice they provide the oil and filter required. The physical manual that comes with it is very detailed and easy to follow. The generator started right up. I just ran it for a few minutes using bout gasoline and LPG just to be sure everything was was. So far it is doing great.

Just recently purchased the WGen 9500 DF. Delivered in good shape, no damage and on time just as Shipper promised. Simple set-up. Put on wheels and feet and Generator is practically ready to go. The unit does weigh about 200 lbs so to get wheels and feet on, I was able to tilt the generator up on its side and slip a 4 x 4" block under the frame and put the Back wheels on. Had to add a 2 x 4" block to give enough clearance to put the front feet on. Pretty easy to move. Lots of good features, electric start, remote start, and many outputs to run our house power including hot water in case of power outage.

I purchased this email after using my sister Westinghouse 6500 generator that we used for two different power outages. Since we have purchased this generator, we have not had to use it. When It was easy to put together but at the end of putting it together, I missed the item about putting the quick connect on the battery. Then tried to start it at a different time and it would not start so I was checking trouble shooting items and did not see this noted. I finally called the 855 # and got a case #. I reread the operation & maintenance again and did not find anything that I was doing wrong. Then I went back through the assembly portion of the user manual and notice the last item was to put the quick connect together on the battery. After doing that the unit started right up. Now we are all set for the next power outage.

I ordered and it said to expect the Generator by Jan 31. I ordered it on the 13th and it arrived on the 14th. "Fast" Opened it up, set up was easy, and started up without issue. Same size and weight as my old one but more than double the power! "Furious" I will do another review after a year but happy happy so far!

Recently purchased this Generator. This Generator has many features that will serve my needs at home and ranch. Fantastic appearance. I like the fact that it has plenty of power to meet my needs at a very reasonable cost. Also, it will operate on gasoline or propane which is an added feature that will come in handy if needed. Great appearance. Arrived fully assemble with the exception of the back wheels and front support brackets which were very easy to install and only took a few minutes.

I purchased this generator only a few weeks ago and have not connected it to the house yet for service during an outage. If I need to amend my rating after doing so, stay tuned. Having said that, I am impressed by its overall build quality and ease of operation, which surpass my expectations. Assembly was straightforward, but a second person would be helpful due to the weight. It has easily powered outdoor tools as a test. Out-of-the-box, the unit would not start on multiple attempts (on gasoline fuel; didn't try propane). Following the experience of another owner on-line, I removed the spark plug and primed the cylinder with fuel. After that, the generator started right up and has continued to start quickly and easily with the start button or remote fob. That's good news, since the recoil pull is quite difficult. It is loud and heavy, but no more than expected. I now feel equipped to handle any future power service interruptions!
