Plenty of power

I bought this generator first because it was American made and dual fuel which gives me twice the runtime without refueling since I can switch fuels gasoline and propane on the fly. This is very easy to do especially for my wife when I am not at home. The remote start feature is great for her on a cold day when all she has to do is flip one switch to use the other fuel

Remote start, dual fuel and good quality

I bought this a couple of weeks ago, and the assembly wheels, stand and battery connection were a breeze. It took less than 1/2 hour. I used gas to run the unit, and it start on first try with the push button. I hooked the unit up to an 50 amp outlet, and turn off the power to test the unit. It work as advertised. I installed an EasyStart on my AC unit, and my AC unit started along with the freezer, refrigerator and all lights as well as outlets. The garage door opener worked as well. I also used the remote key fob to start and turn off the unit. It was a great price (Amazon). I have recommended the unit to other family members. I am totally satisfied and waiting for another power outage because I am prepared to have power. Awesome feeling..!!!!

Great Generator

I recently bought this 9500DFc generator to provide backup power for a cabin. I did a lot of research before making this purchase. My initial impression is that the generator is very well designed and built. The manual is well written and very complete. I really appreciate the fact that Westinghouse has taken the time to thoroughly describe (with illustrations) how to convert this neutral bonded generator to a floating neutral generator. This was very important to me since it is going to be used as a whole house backup power source. The generator is wired through a generator transfer switch to the building's main electric panel. As such, the building's main electrical panel already has a bonded neutral configuration. Since the NEC only allows one bonded neutral location, any generator connected to the panel needs to have a floating, or unbounded, neutral. Super easy to accomplish given the detailed, easy to follow instructions in the supplied manual. The generator starts quickly, runs well, and supplies more than enough power for my application. It has no problems powering sensitive electronic equipment, including to LED TVs, a modem, router, and security system. The dual fuel option is super convienent. I'm very pleased with the purchase, and highly recommend this generator. In fact, I just bought another one (this time a 7500DFc) as a backup power source for my daughter's house.

Everything my electrician told us we needed

We purchased this generator for backup power. It will run our furnace, our freezers, and my husband’s work computers. It runs smoothly on propane and appears to be great quality. Keep in mind that you may need a qualified electrician to install a transfer switch. We are pleased with our purchase.

Well built unit

Purchased this unit in Dec. it arrived strapped on a pallet that was nice in its own right. The unit was nicely packaged. It took around 15 minutes to install wheels, plug up battery, etc. Put some 100% gas in and she fired up and ran about 15 minutes. Everything functioned just as it should. Now we have a little piece of mind

Great Features!

We purchased this generator at the end of August. We are excited about the features and looking forward to trying it out. The four rating is because we have not had a chance to hook it up yet to see how it works. We will update our rating once we give it a try.

Impressive quality

I am impressed with the quality of this generator at this price point, especially for a dual fuel model. I have not used it extensively yet, but it has started and run under load with no problem. So far I am very satisfied, to the point that I just purchased a Westinghouse pressure washer.

Good product

The generator is ver well built, the instructions on how to assemble the handle is very easy to read. I gave this a 4 star because the flat prongs on the back of charger for the wireless remote can broken. They were indented into the charger box. So you can’t charge the wireless remote

Great power & price.
5 out of 5 stars review

Started right up and runs great.

Purchased this unit because I trust the Westinghouse brand and because it was a good price. Pleasantly surprise the setup was easy and the unit started right up. Only negative was the level of noise, but that is expected with this type of generator.

Fired right up!

We're loving it so far. Setup took about 10 minutes thanks to the easy to follow instructions. Once we got oil (supplied) and fuel in and double-checked everything, it fired up first try. Super happy with it so far and I'm sure it'll serve us well in the future.
