This generator checks all the boxes. I was looking for a generator big enough to run my air conditioning, fans and lights. I have yet to have a need to use this as a power back-up but I have used it as a power source for exterior work. The generator is very easy to set up and, while heavy, is relatively easy to maneuver around. Noise levels are decent, particularly given the output of the model. Very happy with the purchase. :)

My Westinghouse Wgen 9500DFc generator just arrived. I immediately assembled the feet and wheels, which was all the assembly required other than adding oil and plugging in the battery. The assembly was extremely easy but you may need some help lifting and moving the generator until the wheels are on. The instructions are illustrated and easy to understand. I've tested the generator and it starts right up. It runs smooth but it's not quiet. I have no doubt that my 9500DFc will deliver the power I need when I need it during an emergency. The peace of mind that comes with owning a reliable dual fuel (gasoline and propane) generator has already begun. So far I am pleased with the purchase. I highly recommend the Westinghouse Wgen9500DFc.

The generator has lived up to expectations. I am an airline pilot so when the power goes out I am usually not home so my wife has to set up the generator and the best feature is the Push to Start. I trust Westinghouse products because my father-in-law was a mechanical engineer for them for 30 years.

I purchased this generator for home backup because of the features and price. it has everything I need including dual fuel and a 50amp outlet which enables me to run my whole house. propane is much easier to store than gas. It started on the first try with propane, I have not tried gas yet but I'm sure I will get the same result. the remote start is a great feature

Purchased this generator for its ease of use. Was easy to set up with the parts and instructions provided. Started up easily using the push button start. Liked that you could shut off the fuel supply and use all of the gas in the carburetor before the unit shut down. Was not too loud. Noise level was around that of a lawn mower motor without the mower engaged.

I bought this ready for winter so I've only used it a couple times for testing purposes but so it's worked as expected. It takes a bit to get it started the first time and it's best to do that on gas rather than propane but once I get it started the first time it started easily after that. The remote start/stop is nice but since I need to pull it out of the garage and hook it up I probably won't need to us it that much. I bought this because it got good ratings, the wattage will power my whole house, the price is pretty good, my local small engine shop said they could repair the engine if needed and the fact it' so fuel efficient. It's not a quite generator but for the size it's about what I'd expect and I'm only using it for power outages during winter. Hopefully it will continue to run nicely when I really need it.

Unit seems well designed and easy to set up and use. I have worked on engines for over 40 years and this one runs strong. For a little more i purchased the dual fuel unit which is wise. The shipping box needs more Styrofoam to protect from shipping damages. Excellent value.

I am reviewing this for the free cover. The generator is about the same size as my old one but about a third heavier and 4 times as powerful. My favorite feature is the pushbutton start that my wife will be able to confidently use in an emergency. Reliability is unknown but the instructions give you guidance for maintaining the engine for a very long life so I am hopeful (valve clearance adjustments and oiling the cylinder head for long term storage, all engines benefit from this but don't instruct you how to do it)

We have been living in the forest for 9 years and decided it was time for backup power. After lots of research online and YouTube videos we chose this model because of ease of use and the ability to attach it to our current fuse box of ease of use. We have gotten it started and ran the trial break in period and by following the directions it went well. Not always easy with us. (lol) We have an electrician coming to help us out with that. Our hope it to never need to use it but this generator will be there when we need it. The dual fuel is helpful, we use propane a lot and the gas option is great for better power.

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.
