Awesome Power When Needed

First off, let me start by saying set up out of box is a breeze. Instructions are very well explained. Love the flexibility of the dual fuel. Can run on stationary at the house on propane. If I need to be mobil with it, I can switch it over to gasoline for power. It definitely has the POWER. Powers an 1800 sq. ft. house without a problem - furnace, two refrigerators and freezers, transfer pump and lights. Keeps you rolling when the power is out. Happy in the country!

Great Buy

Perfect. Price plus features 5 stars. Even the noise level is good. I was expecting it louder. Shipping was 2 days early and they called 3 times to arrange delivery. They sent an appointment reminder and text me 20 minutes before delivery. 5 stars on delivery.

Nice machine and well built.

Bought this from local store because of the price. Got it home and was amazed on how well built the machine was and looked as advertised. Obviously this was an item from store that takes damaged products and there was some damage to the machine. All in all, I like the features especially the remote start and electric start along with a pull start option as well. Definitely would recommend.

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.

Westinghouse WGen9500DF

I bought this for a home back up for power outages, needed a generator with electric start, shipping came 7 days earlier then scheduled, but was informed of this twice, so that I knew when it would arrive, that being said, nice looking generator, very well put together, after I got it out of the box, & putting the wheels & front frame feet on I started it up on propane, I didn't want to mess with gas, as this unit will be on stand by as needed, so after connecting the battery terminals, & Propane it was ready to go, it started up right away, checked out for electric power, I would say it took about 30 minutes from out of the box to running, I did the wheels by myself, but if you have some help don't turn it down, this is a heavy unit, a extra pair of hands makes things easier, I'm really satisfied with this purchase so far.

Great generator

The unit arrived on time and in good condition. Installing pads and wheels was easy and simple. I like the fold away handle which makes the unit easy to move around. The wheels were plastic but solid with bearings. I thought the noise level was okay for the kw rating. I liked the remote start and dual fuel option. Now I'm planning for a 50 amp transfer switch for my designated house loads. The only negative is the high thd level which can cause issues with sensitive electronics like smart tvs etc. But in my case the generator is for emergencies so I can get around the thd issue.

Powerful

I live in Central Florida and I have been thinking about having a whole house generator fo several years. We have experience a few power outages due to hurricanes over the last two decades and it is very inconvenient to deal with for several days to a week. I purchased the Westinghouse Dual Fuel 9500 watt generator because it is powerful to run all of my key systems with the versatility of using gasoline or propane. Both are in short supply during a storm so the more options the better. I also liked the fact that it was a 50 amp generator with electric start. I just had a 10 circuit transfer circuit and an inlet plug outside to allow me to power my home without running extension cords. I ran a test when everything was completed and the 9500 started. I flipped on all circuits and the 9500 handled everything I threw at it. It was able to power 2 refrigerators, Hot water heater and water pump with no problem. The Generator did not bog down even when every thing was on including wall air conditioners, lights and fans. I cannot comment on how it will preform during a storm since we haven't had on yet. I am interested to see how many hours it will run on a tank of propane. I have purchased some larger tanks and have them filled and stored. I would like to be able to last 3-4 days without having to go out and search for fuel. So far, I am extrmely happy with this purchase. This Generator is well made, powerful and not very loud.

Easy and Excellent!

Exactly as described. Easy to assemble. Easy to start and use. Just received ours. Only tested it, haven't use yet, but We are ready for TX Snovid or any other power outage. Got it mostly for power for my fish tanks and the refrigerator, but seriously thinking of getting an electrician to setup for whole house usage bc it's so nice and powerful. Also found out we can use for RVing too. Noise level good, no louder than expected for a generator. Maneuverability n Portability, it's too heavy if you need to pick it up, but easy to roll it around on its' cart.

Generators starts right up, can use propane

Installed a hook up right to my breaker panel. The electrician that did this also bought the WGen9500DF. It started right up. I enjoy the electric and remote start way more than I thought I would. Nice. I particularly like the ability to use propane. Then I don't have to worry about the gas in the tank going bad (even with extenders). I just got a couple extra propane tanks (they work on my grill). This generator is a great, and much less expensive, way to get power to our house. I am ready for the next power outage.
