Appears solid and meets expectations

Initial test shows that the generator works seamlessly with my manual transfer switch and propane input. Assembly was easy, but female portion of bolts that hold the feet have a defect and I couldn't attach one of the bolts. The generator started up first try, and although loud (expected) I look forward to a powerful solution next time the power goes out.

Awesome Generator!

Purchased this generator to help protect my home from weather related power outages in Florida. It arrived well packed and in excellent condition. The instructions were easy to read and understand. Took about 45 minutes to unbox, install the wheels, front supports, and propane hose, and fill with oil. Used the remote to start it and it fired right up. Construction seems very good, and I believe with proper maintenance this generator will give me many years of reliable service...

Overall great value

For the price you cant beat it for value, functionality and reputation. I can't make any claims on it's durability, since I just bought it. But it powers my 3.5 ton AC and 2 fridges and lights, etc without even sounding a bit stressed. I bought this after testing out my neighbors Wgen9500. He's pretty happy with it too.

Darkhorse with exceptionsl reviews and quality.

I was impressed when all of my research lead me to the Westinghouse generator vs names like Generac, and Onan. However after several hours of research I determined the Westinghouse to be the best of the bunch for my needs. Initial setup and assembly took maybe 15 mintes. Startup was instantaneous and any item I connected and operated without issue. I'm happy to have a quality product should my home loose power and my sump pump need to be continually operated. No to mention our refrigerators and deep freeze.

Dual fuel

We got this a little over a month ago and it works great. After we had a power outage and lost all the food in our freezers. We started looking for a good generator. This one had EVERYTHING we was looking for plus a remote. Thanks for making a great product.

Excellent Generator - Started on the First Try

I bought this unit because California has insufficient power generation and when the system load peaks out (like in a heat wave), rolling blackouts happen. On top of that, I live in a rural area where brush fires are common and whenever one is within 20 miles of me, the local utility kills all power. So the 9500DF will be my source of house power during these times. I received it today and opened the box by cutting all four corners and exposing the generator. Installing the front feet and the wheels was really easy. A 10 mm/13 mm wrench is supplied in the package but I used a small 10 mm socket to attach the feet. It's easier and quicker. I added the one liter of oil (supplied) using the offset funnel (also supplied). Connecting the battery only requires attaching the plugs together. I then checked the starter operation with the Start button (it turned over after a couple seconds delay). Then I used the remote to check the starter. Push and hold and about two seconds later, it turned over. The remotes are pre-paired with the generator by Westinghouse - nice touch! Finally, I added about three gallons of fuel, turned on the fuel valve, and pushed Start. The engine immediately fired up and ran smoothly. I could not be more pleased with this unit. I have an electrician coming in about a week to install a 50 Amp Transfer Switch. Once that is done, I am ready for the blackouts. I really like this generator. It makes slightly more noise than my old Generac 4 kW unit, but it is not objectionable and I doubt my neighbors will complain since we are on two acre lots and they are not all that close. I will post additional information I am connected to the house.

Great generator

I received the generator yesterday and assembled it today. Easy to assemble & add oil into it with the provided oil & funnel. The generator battery was fully charged on arrival & it started the generator right up on propane. Plugged into my new generator outlet on the house and powered everything I wanted. I tested this to assure myself the system would work when the power company lines failed at the house in the future storms. Very happy with this purchase.

Just what I needed!

The generator was delivered in great condition. The small amount of assembly required was easy to complete and I was able to do it myself. The instructions were very clear and concise. The noise level is not as bad as I thought it would be. As a first-time owner of a generator, I am very impressed with the features and ease of operation.

Happy so Far

We received our generator in good shape after shopping and comparing for weeks. It is as advertised and is easy to operate. I wanted something powerful, but that I could use without requiring a pull start. After going back and actually reading the instructions, we were able to get the push start going. Very easy to start and no fumes when running on propane. It is still loud, but will be fine in the garage. I will be able to run most of the house off of this.

All that was promised

Read lots of reviews of dual fuel generators before purchasing. Had some concern about reviews regarding not starting with gasoline and metal spurs for bolts, but experienced nothing but the best possible results as I assembled and started it up using both fuels. Granted only assembled and ran after assembly, not in harsh or emergency conditions, but we feel ready if we need the generator.
