Great Generator for the Money!!!!

Arrived 8/3/2024 with no issues. Took about 20 minutes to install hardware and do pre-start check list. The generator started on the first try and also ran great on LP. No issues!! Next, get the transfer switch and easy start added to AC and I'll be ready for the next power outage.

A lot of nice and modern features

I have only had this a few days, it was packaged well, comes with oil, tool kit, great owner's manual and assembly was minimal and very easy (helps to have an extra pair of hands though to tilt it up enough to install the wheel and foot on each side). Auto Start/Stop button works well, remote is a great feature, digital display is a plus and the fold up/down handle is great for moving it around. I have only started it on propane and it starts a little hard but after one full start cycle it starts on the second try of the second start cycle and runs as expected.

This unit does everything I need

Purchased to run the house in the event of power outage. Have used it twice already. Love the dual fuel feature. Our plan is to only use the propane feature as maintaining gas engines is time consuming and can be annoying. One nice feature is the remote start which was handy in the middle of a storm. The unit with the propane tank was set up in advance of the approaching storm. Once the power went down, flipped the mains and started the unit from inside the house. So far the generator has exceeded our expectations. Planning another purchase in the near future to run our remote power needs.

Easy Setup and Startup

Purchased after tropical storm Isaias last August. Lost power for 3 days. I have 3 teenagers with big appetites and of course we lost all the food in the refrigerator and separate freezer. Had trees down and felt gross when I went to bed after working outside and then not being able to shower. I told my wife 'never again' and set about finding a portable generator. Knew I wanted to use propane and wanted a direct hookup to the breaker panel via the L14 30R outlet. I was going for the 7500DF but my electrician said I should go with the 9500DF in case I needed heat in the winter (we have electric heat). There doesn't seem to be much more fuel usage as they both use the same engine. I ordered on 10/21 and the generator arrived on 11/11 undamaged. I put on the wheels and mounting feet after tipping the unit on its side. Do this carefully with 2 people as it's a heavy unit. Added the oil that came with the generator but had to buy more and added about another 1/4 quart to bring the level 1/2 way up the hatch marks on the dipstick. Maybe this is just my anomaly but I didn't want to start the unit with the level showing below the 'L' on the dipstick. The unit came with the battery cables already hooked to the battery so all I had to do was complete a quick connect tied together just above the dipstick. I was pleased. Hooked up my 20lb barbecue tank, pressed the start button and after about 3 revolutions started right up and ran smoothly. I was going to buy 3 30lb tanks to handle about 3 days of running but the manual says it can be hooked up to bigger house tanks which I have. This must be done by a plumber knowledgeable with this type of conversion as line pressures are very important. My electrician said that he personally liked the Westinghouse so that made me feel I made the right choice. So far so good. I have confidence it will perform well when needed.

Eazy Setup, Eazy Start!

Wow! It took all of 10 minutes from out of the box to run ready. The longest part was carefully putting the supplied quart of oil in. I hooked it to a 20 lb propane bottle and after pairing the fob, hit the start button. It caught on the second automatic crank. After a good warm up, I plugged in my Tesla to the 50 amp outlet and let it run for awhile. The next day I ran it again, just as easy and charged my Tesla for an hour. Everything went as expected. I am no longer worried about the next storm.

Runs solid. Not as loud as other generators that i

I've only had this generator for a few days and have used it consistently for power outage. connected several appliances and seems that it doesn't effect it's function at all. I ran refrigerator, tv, several lights and 3 portable heaters trying to keep in mind to watch how much wattage i'm using. I am thus far very pleased with this generator and would recommend to purchase.

Solid quality generator

Bought this generator a few days ago. Everything in order and looks very solid. Dual fuel is great, especially that I can hook up the propane line from main tank that normally feeds the bbq. No need for smaller tanks that you keep refilling. Really like the key fob for distance start and stop. Little extras like rubber covers on plug receptacles adds a nice touch. Looking forward to using this generator!

Strong Generator

The generator is solid. It is a little noisy but that was exacerbated by the rain. Pros: The remote starting is a nice touch for the cold mornings. Cons: Remote start attempts is a start cycle that attempts to start 3 times while it auto adjusts the choke for gas operation. The propane start is a cleaner quicker start. It takes a little getting used to. The pull start is a little awkward to pull but it is hopeful you never have to practice that.

Great Generator

I just received my Westinghouse WGen9500DF Generator, and so far, I am very pleased with it. It seems very heavy duty and came with several accessories that I wasn't expecting, including a quart of oil, funnel, small tool kit, and propane regulator/hose kit for access to my propane tank. It even came with a wheel kit so I can move it as necessary. I haven't started it, or ran it yet, but have every confidence in it, and will likely update my review once I've used it a bit. Now to install the included wheel kit!

Dual Fuel

We bought this generator to supplement our power needs during an outage. We use propane in the country and bought this model because of the run time and fuel flexibility. The size is just big enough to run our two freezers, furnace, and some other essentials. Easy setup out of the box. Only took 20 minutes to setup and get it running. Love the fob feature/electric start too.
