9500DF is a heavy, so it requires 2 people to install front feet and rear wheels. The set up and startup procedures are very straightforward, especially when using the electric start/fob. I connected the generator to my home using GenerLink device. I was able to power lights, appliances, computer related equipment, well pump, sump pump, and oil heat boiler without issue. I can power a small central air conditioning system by limiting use of other energy hogs. The 9500DF looks great, is well built, starts easily, and delivers the power. The dual fuel support adds tremendous flexibility should outages come with fuel availability challenges. I was able to buy at a promotional price further adding to the 9500DF’s already solid value proposition.

Came packed well (and fast, 1 day after hurricane Idelia) with no damage but the quart of oil was leaking a little bit. Good thing it came in a bag, but it was also leaking. Not a deal breaker, but minus one star. This thing has got some good features that I am looking forward to try, just haven’t had the chance to use it yet. I will be testing out in a few weeks when the interlock kit comes in and I get it hooked to the house. We will see. But I have every expectation that this will do the job. This is not some generic thing you pick up from that freight place.

I just bought this. It was delivered today. I put it together today with no problem only took me about 30 mins. Came with oil and funnel which was nice to add the oil. Also came with a charger for the battery which I most of overlooked buying this so bonus for me. Started right up with no issues. I am using this to keep the house powered up. It seems like our power goes out all the time so now I have a backup for this. I liked it so much I also told me friend and now she bought one also. I like the dual fuel. I plan to run a line to my 80lbs tank as a backup.

I originally bought a Champion 12,500/15,000 as a backup to power my home in case of an outage. I discovered that my house is pretty energy efficient as it would run my entire house including A/C, oven, stove, dryer, washer, lights, TV, everything simultaneously. I was ecstatic…until I ran a fuel efficiency test. With a 2,000 W load, it ran for 1 hour 15 minutes on one gallon of gas. As I thought about what an outage would be like, I didn’t like the thought of burning through 20 gallons of fuel every 24 hours (and that’s only with a minimal load). That’s 4 gas cans, and gas can be hard to find as I discovered during the winter storms that occurred In February 2021. The Wgen9500DF offers a ton of features that the Champion didn’t offer. Most importantly, it’s fuel efficiency is unrivaled in the open frame category. That same 2,000 W load should run for 2 hours 45 minutes on the same one gallon of gas. On top of that, you get one touch auto-choke start (champion has manual choke with starter switch), Remote start, dual fuel, a fuel gauge, and a considerably smaller and lighter package. As a plus, this generator arrived undamaged and the battery connection was much simpler to make than it was on the Champion generator. The only 2 things I’m sacrificing are 2,000W less of running/starting watts and the digital load meter. I’m mostly bummed about the lack of load metering but during the Champion testing, normal house was under 30% load so I know this generator has plenty of power to do what I need it to. Setup was fairly simple and moving it to the back yard was much easier than the 300+ lb Champion was. It fired up on the 2nd try and ran smoothly. I still need to hook it up to my 50A transfer switch and break it in, but given the thousands of highly positive reviews this unit has received, I’m confident it will perform flawlessly.

I bought this generator last month to use a home generator in case of power loss. I received it this morning and everything looked great. It was packaged nicely, instructions were easy to follow and it dual fuel capability will come in handy. I liked the remote start function, and the fact that is is an electric start. ( no pulling on a starter cord, as long as the battery is charged)

I bought this generator to run a portable air conditioner, refrigerator and some lights in case the power goes out. This generator will do this and more! When I received the generator all I had to do was install the wheels and feet, then add oil and gasoline. Took 15 minutes tops. It started immediately and runs smooth. I tried the outlets and everything works fine. Remember there is a break in period so run it once in a while and don't wait for a power outage for the first time use. Comes with a full manual and quick start up guide. Easy to assemble and easy to use. Should have bought this a long time ago!

ust got it tested after transfer switch install. Started after third try. Noise level is higher than moderate. I def would not place it behind bedroom wall. Got 9500DF and tested it with gazoline - after electric dryer started , voltage dropped ( I can tell by dimming lights in the house ) for few seconds, but after that , it picked up. Not bad, fairly priced.

After having other generator that was a disappointment, we finally purchased this Westinghouse 9500 and we love it. You can power up many things with this generator and it is easy to use and easy to maintain. The gas tank on our previous generator rusted so we were scared to buy another one with a metal tank. Prior to purchasing this one we called Westinghouse and they informed us that the tank is coated and protected to it should not rust. When we received it we realized that the tank is coated so we are not worried. Thus far, I am very satisfied with this generator.

Purchased hoping for whole or nearly whole house capability. Just ran a test. Started first attempt, let warm up then changed house over to the generator via the 50A connection to transfer switch. Slowly added AC, water heater, stove and entire electric panel. It handled everything! Very pleased.

I bought this in 2 months ago, in January. Already tested and completed wiring to connect to home breaker. Enough wattage to run most of the house and the 50v connection is greate for running items such as air conditioner and a few other items. Great price and the duel fuel will be handy for keeping the propane on-hand if there are periods that the unit is not used for some period of time. I will not have to store the diesel for a long period. So Far great investment. My wife has wanted us to get this for many years, especially when the electricity was out for days at the time. good wattage for the price.
