Like the features and easy installation of wheels

I just purchased this unit and have gotten set up. Started on first push of electric start button and is very smooth running. Can’t wait to see how it works when power goes off. Did not rate higher as I have not had the opportunity to use yet during power outage.

Best Value For The Money

I bought this portable generator to insure power for our mushroom farm if main power goes out. Upon receiving the power generator, I quickly up packed it from its shipping box, assembled the wheels and stationary feet. I read all the instructions in the owners manual and proceeded to fill the oil and hook up a 20 lbs LPG tank. Checked the charge on the battery (12.56 V) and turned on the On/Off switch. I then linked the remote fob. Extremely easy to accomplish. Then I stood up and pressed the START button on the fob and watched the generator take over and attempted to start up the machine. After 4 or 5 attempts, the engine finally fired up and purred to a steady idle. I plugged in a large space heater and flipped on the Main Breaker. The power light shown ready on the space heater and clicked the on button and it powered up. Very little change occurred on the generator. Happy, I turned off the heater and proceeded to check all 110V receptacles. Then I checked the 50 amp plug with my multi processor welder. Fired it up and pulled a TIG bead at 200 amps. The idle changed at first but soon absorbed the draw without pause. I have not yet tested the generator with gasoline fuel, but the plan was never to use gasoline as a fuel source. I don't want to have to store and revolve the stores of gasoline. I attest to the aforementioned is exactly how I tested the generator unit with the exception of the 30 amp plug (that will be later next week). It was a bit louder than I would have liked but I am very happy with this purchase and plan to purchase a second one in March of 2021 if available.

Features I was looking for

I unboxed it and assembly was easy. I followed all the starting instructions and it wouldn’t start. I made sure I followed all the directions. I’m glad I have friends and relatives who were able to assist me in getting it started. Had to unscrew the bolt on the carb bowl to burp it. Started fine after that.

Excellent Generator

This is the 6th generator I’ve purchased over the years. Living in the middle of tornado alley our power goes out quite often. The Westinghouse 9500DFc has been by far the best one of them all. The 9500 is more than enough to run everything we need during our power outages. The remote start just pushes this generator over the top.

Easy to operate

I just got my generator home today, and I was quite pleased with how easy it was to get the generator up and running. I am very non-mechanical and if I could get this generator going anybody can. I did a lot of studying and searching before I chose this particular generator and I'm quite sure it will be hassle free for years to come.

Does the job well

Bought this to power a 5hp submersible pump on a 560 foot deep well. Does the job great, even with derating for 8800' altitude. Love the dual fuel feature for off-grid living. It's heavy and loud, no surprise. But comes with handles so it can be lifted without too much problem by two people, and it isn't nearly as deafening as some generators. Overall very satisfied.

Quality Product Easy to get Running

I was able to take it out of the Box and get it ready to go in to place quickly. The Instructions to do initial setup were easy to follow and I was ready to start it within 30 Minutes. I started easily and then powered all the tools I was using in the back yard to build a platform to put it on. While it is heavy, the Wheels it came with and the handle made it easy to move around. This Generator is able to handle the Load in my house to keep my AC Running for my Wife, Her Hospital Bed and Breathing Machine running, while also powering the Fridge, Freezer and some lights. It allows my to safely take care of my Family in emergencies and gives me peace of mind.

Seems great, full of features

Just received this as a gift for the holidays but haven't had a chance to use it. I plan on setting it up as a backup generator for when the power goes out but I also like that it's not a permanent generator and can be moved to another location for use.

So far is great

I bought this generate for power outages during hurricanes. I just got it, did not use it yet - just tested, so more updates will come. Assembly was easy, i put this generator on little kids wagon and was able to attach wheels, and then little support legs. Hooked to propane tank and it worked.. tested on one room only, but intended to use it for powering AC.. I am female and not very familiar with generators, but i followed instruction how to use and it was fairly easy.

does what it is suppose to do.

only had the generator for a couple weeks, but she fired right up no problems, did a break in period with it using propane so I wouldn't have gas left in it during storage, I really like the dual fuel system since i always have propane around the property and can easily use the generator during an unexpected outage.
