Great features! Not too loud

After comparing several generators from different manufactures, I decided to go with Westinghouse 9500DF. The features in this generator cannot be beat. I mean remote and/or push button start, plus the option to use gasoline or propane cylinder. We just purchased this - so cannot comment on the durability/reliability. I was expecting a louder noise for this high wattage generator but it was bearable and not loud (even with the load). Central AC (3.5 tonne) worked fine during the first test.

Bonus Gift

We live on Whidbey Island, WA, north of Seattle and have frequent power outages during storms, sometimes for several days. This generator, hooked up to our house electrical system, and powered by our main propane tanks, gives us peace of mind that we will not lose water and septic sewer use, and electric lighting and heat. It is easy to use and can run for long periods. Setup, with services from an electrician and propane piping plumber was not difficult.

The easiest product to setup and get running!!

I just received this generator this evening. It took about 10-15 minutes to put the wheels on, add oil and gas. It fired up with the remote on the first go. I'm not letting it run for 4-5 hours for the break in period. I've tried the remote stop and start from our kitchen and it works great. Can't wait to get this on my welding trailer for my welders.

Good product/ great options

We bought this in January and got it set up in case we needed it. Of course, there was a snowstorm and we were glad to have it. I ran great. We love having the option of gas or propane. We will not use it often, we hope, but when you need it, it worked great. Would recommend this product for sure.

This Generator Has All That I Need

I bought this 9500 watt, dual fuel generator for power during hurricane power outages. I need to be able to reliably power my medical equipment, well pumps and water heaters as well as general power for lighting, etc. I have had great experience with reliability of Westinghouse products over many years and expect to find the same with this product. The dual fuel feature will be most helpful since gas can be difficult to find for many days after a hurricane so propane can be a fill in to keep things going.

Well designed, feature rich

I tested the dual fuel generator for familiarity and feels solidly built with an integrated design. It has excellent safety features, good documentation, and started up on propane in less than 2 seconds. It will serve me well if needed as a whole house emergency backup power source.

House Backup

I bought this product two months ago. Had an electrician install a interlock kit on my main panel with an inlet connection within 30 ft of my generator location. With the 50 amp outlet on the generator and a 50 amp extension I can run my house during power outages. This includes my well. Finally had the chance to use last week after a storm. Really didn’t limit any power usage.

Perfect backup power

Just received this generator today and man I like it a lot. Very easy to assemble with an outstanding user manual. Added oil, connected LP gas hit the remote start and it tried three times it said it would and fired right up and has run perfect. Tested a few high wattage devices and no issues. I plan to back feed my house with this generator which will handle most everything with careful power management/calculations. This is just a very well made generator that appears will provide many years of service. Excellent warranty and great customer service! Gotta love a great American company that still values the customer.

Great features

I bought this generator to hook up to my 250 gallon propane tank so I wouldn’t have to run to buy gasoline every time there was a storm. This generator was perfect for what I wanted to do. I love that it was easy to assemble and programming the remote start button was a breeze. Instructions were easily understood and I got the generator out of the box and running in about 20 minutes. Started on the first try ran smooth and was quieter than I thought it Waukesha be for a 12500 watt generator. The wheels are sturdy and the handle folds up to move the generator. It’s not heavy and rolls easy. Looks like a quality piece of machinery that I will get years of use out of.
