Duel fuel and power

This WGen really has the power! I use it for a whole home backup in times when the power goes out and I need to keep my appliances cold and have power to the house! This thing came take the amps needed to literally run the entire home if needed! Great robust product and I love that I can run the duel fuel considering the prices of gas!!

WGen9500DF

Purchased for emergency backup for storm power outages. Easy assembly and start up. Tested using Propane, started right up, powered everything I needed it to in th entire house including two refrigerator freezers, full size deep freezer, well pump, even the whole house AC unit. Test run it every year and it starts right up. Have only used the LP fuel. I have never had to run it for more than a few hours, so don't know how long 20lb propane tank will actually last.

A brand new generator!

I just received this generator yesterday and have not had a chance to run it yet. But the delivery packaging and unpackaging so far have been great. It has all the features that I need and should power our small off-grid cabin quite nicely. I'm looking forward to a snowy cloudy winter so I can use the generator on a regular basis.

Great Portable Generator for the house

I bought this generator primarily in the event of a power failure at the house. It has enough power to run all the things I don't want to be without during a power failure such as the furnace, refrigerator, T.V.'s, lights, modem, router, and computer. I look at it like an insurance policy just in case.

Solid construction and reliable!

I purchased this generator recently after seeing so many great reviews for this product. The great reviews were accurate. This generator is solidly constructed and is an absolute workhorse. I would highly recommend the Westinghouse 9500 Dual Fuel generator to anyone in need of a portable generator capable of running most if not all systems in a home during a power outage.

Smooth Start and Quiet Operation

The engine of the WGen9500DFc starts incredibly smoothly, far exceeding my expectations. Additionally, the noise level is much lower than I anticipated, which is a pleasant surprise. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this product and highly recommend it.

So far - all is OK

I just received the generator & unpacked. Everything was there & shipped in good condition. Seems like a well-made product. I followed instruction & it ran well. All looks good; however, the real test will come when the power goes off & that's why I did not rate it a five stars.

Great overall generator

This generator is excellent, the features are outstanding and we love how powerful it is. Only used propane, but so far so good. All generators are loud while operating, but this one actually runs a little bit quieter than we expected, especially for being such a large capacity.

Tornado convinced me to buy

Memorial weekend 2024, a series of tornados did considerable damage in my home town and county. My home sustained minor damage but the entire county power grid was crippled. My family experienced a power outage for 6 days and because we rely on a well for our water source, we were without that too. Fortunately, our nearest neighbor had purchased a Westinghouse WGen9500DF and had it connected to his home through a transfer switch. They were able to power their entire home cycling zones on a schedule to remain fully functional and comfortable during the entire outage event. Witnessing, first hand, how well this model generator performed for such a lengthy period of time impressed me greatly. For this reason, I purchased my own WGen9500DF with complete confidence that it will take care of my family as well as it has taken care of my neighbors. Seeing and experiencing is believing.

So far so good

Assembly and prep was easy (took me a little over an hour including unboxing and clean up) except for the oil filling. I spilled some (provided funnel is quite small and overflowed), and that made a mess but also I think you have to use the whole provided bottle to fill it up. I’ll have to buy some more oil because the dipstick still isn’t wet. As others have commented, the dip stick is very difficult to read. I hooked up a propane tank, forgot to choke it (do you have to choke when using propane?), but it started easily. It is kind of loud, but I expected that. Usually when the power goes out around here, it’s less than a day so we can definitely put up with the noise to keep our lights on and food from spoiling or thawing. The unit itself seems well organized and well-made.
