Starts better on Propane

Really like the generator, but for some reason, it cranks to start better when fueled with propane than gasoline. Can't say why, but it certainly switches between the two fuels smoothly. Overall, I believe we will be quite satisfied with this generator.

Great Generator!!!

We bought this generator at the beginning on the year before a big winter storm came through and it is amazing. It is super easy to start up and has great power output. I love the remote start option. There is no more standing out in the cold yanking the cord to get it to start up. I'm so glad that we bought this and that we lose all the food in our fridge again when the power goes out.

Great Westinghouse WGen9500DF Generator

Generator was really easy to set up. Only had to mount the wheels and ground mounts, fill it up with oil and gas, and connect the battery. Started fairly easy after the gas made it to the carb. Remote worked at least 30 feet away. Powered air compressor with no issue. Third Westinghouse generator I've purchased and they all function great!

Great Generator. Easy to start.

Got this generator, Wgen9500DF, after a recent winter storm left Texas without power for a few days do to lack of preparing of the electrical grid for winter weather. I feel confident that I will be prepared with this generator to get me through times when I can't count on my government to be prepared.

Worked flawlessly with my Generlink hook-up

Bought last fall and sure enough ice storm in March knocked out our power . I have a very active sump pump was was running every 7 minutes. Hooked up generator to my hydrometer and I had instant peace of mind. Plus the comfort of running the furnace and two fridges , freezer, and other amenities!!!

Generator is amazing and just what was expected!

Generator was easy to assemble, and one person could do this by himself. It is easy to move around with the handle and wheels. Started it up on Propane for the first time and plugged in a few small items and it ran great and did not pull down the generator at all. It is an added feature to have the ability to run this on Propane and Gas. Feel this will be a wonderful addition to have if the electric or grid would go down. Would highly recommend this Generator!

Great generator for a great price

I bought this generator and it works really great so far I haven't used it too much yet but it seems very high quality. It is a little heavy but for a large generator you should expect some weight. I would recommend trying this if you need a duel fuel generator. I will use this for search and rescue operations and emergency services.

9500df generator

Large generator big enough to power our whole home during power outage, with a transfer swtich. Handles and wheels make it easy to move. Wife loves the electric start. Love that there is 3 ways to start it up. I did a little research before and Westinghouse had the best run time for the 12500 model compared to others.

Great reviews and features offered on this unit.

I decided to go with this unit after reading all the positive reviews from already satisfied owners. I wanted a generator large enough to power my house in case of a. Power outage. After building our house 20 plus years ago we’ve had a couple of water damage occurrences in our basement from sump pumps not running. We can’t afford to be without power for more than a couple of hours without having water backups in our basement. This is a great peace of mind knowing that a start of this generator and flip of the switch and I. Have enough power to run my sump pumps, freezers, well pump, etc.

Portable power small farm and back house power.

We have well water and when power goes out we don't have water. This unit connect to my house propane tank for long running without filling up. I'll be powering my remote barn with this unit. Remotes work great to easily start the generator without directly accessing it. Setup was fast and easy.
