I bought the 9500df a few weeks ago and it arrived 3 days ago. Everything works well so far and this 9500-watt unit is just 3-4 inches longer and 2 or so inches wider than the 5500-watt Generac it’s replacing. This is not a super-quiet generator but it’s not bad and it’s no more or less loud than the smaller one it’s replacing, which is a pleasant surprise. A couple of issues so far 1) this generator is supposed to have an auto-choke feature but that doesn’t seem to work - it will not do a cold electric start unless you engage the choke manually. Not a big pain, but it limits the utility of the starting key fob, which will only work if you engage the choke manually OR if the engine is already warm. 2) the 50-amp receptacle is right over the wheel, and all 50-amp cords have a 90-degree connector and a THICK cable, which wants to go right where the wheel is. You can angle the connector in, but it’s not very secure and exposes the metal of the plug, which is dangerous. If you can find a 50a plug extender to give it another inch, that is highly recommended.

I took delivery of the generator three days ago. When I opened the box I noticed the wheel kit was missing. I called Westinghouse and clicked through the normal phone prompts, and was disconnected. I tried this several more times, and was again disconnected each time. I guess they don't answer the phone on Saturdays. Upon further inspection of the generator box, I found the wheel kit was actually in the box. This was embarrassing. Nevertheless, I unboxed the generator and was quite impressed with the build quality. I was also impressed with the attention to detail Westinghouse had with everything, from the assembly process to the thorough owners manual. After filling with oil and fuel, the engine fired up on the first try. Very impressed! Nice work guys. I hope my long-term impressions are as good as my initial ones.

Bought this in January. Have only used in a test run situation and not in real world power outage. This generator is so easy to use. Push button start is great and so is having the choice of two different fuels. I also really appreciate that it came with a trickle charger for the battery. I have no doubt this generator will be ready when the time comes.

This generator has a lot of great features and is surprisingly compact and easy to maneuver. It started right up and was ready to power items via the three-pronged outlets. We have hired an electrician to wire it into our house for home backup and cannot wait to see how it performs. Be sure to have extra oil ready when it gets delivered- the oil provided with the unit is nowhere near enough to fill the generator.

Product was received in just a few of days (2 weeks ahead of schedule). Delivered on a pallet in my garage. Simple install for wheels and front rubber supports. Added the supplied oil and ready for a test run. Tested on propane, pressed the button and started almost immediately. Loaded with a 12000watt a/c and other appliances (not nearly fully loaded). Looks to be powerful and ready for the next hurricane. Trickle charger a nice bonus.

We just moved to Northern Michigan from a town that rarely had power issues. We have been here 2 months, and already have had 2 outages. As I'm writing this review, the generator is running EVERYTHING. I'm so glad I have this right now, new neighbors are stopping by, and wondering why my house is the only 1 lit up.

I bought a month ago for Francine. Thankfully did not have to use. I did hook it up and do a trial run and had no issues at all. Cranked right up with remote control, had 3 refrigerators on and lights, could not even tell there was a load on it. I believe it is going to be a great generator for my needs.

Just received our Westinghouse 9500DF and couldn’t be happier so far! Sleek design, sturdy and comes with a remote start which was a bonus because we didn’t realize this was a feature when we purchased! Feel much better knowing we have a backup plan should we ever need one.

My son and I both purchased the same generator model after researching all the brands. We both like the dual fuel flexibility, the push button starting and the other features and the many positive reviews. The push-button start is what at first sold me on this unit since my previous generator was pull start and at my age it was getting difficult. It was shipped on a pallet and very well protect in a box. Installation is so simple that it took me less than 15 minutes, all you have to do is install the wheels, the feet and the included oil to the engine. My second favorite option is the dual fuel flexibility, we live in a hurricane prone area and having this flexibility is very important. The unit is very easy to move even for an older person like me, I'm sure that the wheel 10 inch size helps, my previous generator was lighter but had smaller wheels and felt much more difficult to move. The control panel is very complete and accessible. Runs very smoothly. I highly recommend this generator.

Our electrician just installed a Homeline generator interlock kit w/ a two-pole 50 amp breaker under the meter/panel combo & supplied a 20’ cord w/ twist-lock ends. With fresh non-ethanol gas, supplied oil, & battery hooked up...it fired right up! Started introducing various circuit breakers & it will comfortably run all the needed components: 2.5 ton ac/air-handler, frig, all lights, etc. I Think we’re ready for the next power outage! So, very happy we purchased this highly rated, powerful, Westinghouse duel-fuel portable generator!
