Awesome!

I have been using an old Coleman 2500w for several years. Once I decided to update, I chose the Westinghouse 9500W DF. So far, so good! Way more power than I had been used too. Not as loud as you would expect for a generator this size. Tires are a little disappointing just being plastic, but I can change those out anytime. Very happy with this Genie!

Dependable & Easyy to use.

Has every hookup that I might need. Easy to start/with remote Easy to hook up to my propane tank. First time I started it up on propane, it worked great. Like the electric start and the number of outlets. Will be using to operate electric equipment around my property. Backup generator for house in case of power lose. Will not be at a loss for electric power.

It's really impressive, I love everything about it

I've had the 9500DF for only a few days and already love it. The packaging was excellent, very neatly done. It included tools, the gas hookup, Oil, a Remote starter, a battery charger, wheels, and shock absorbing legs. Setup took minutes and was very simple. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, but it's so nicely setup that probably not needed. I used propane for the initial start, it started on the very first try within seconds, and proceeded to run without issue. I love that it has multiple electrical connection options, including 30A and 50A. Even the noise level to me was good as i compare it to my old generator. On the downside, really the only thing i can say is the weight, I'm not sure that my wife will be able to easily move this around by herself. On a good note however, it does have a handle that provides significant leverage and makes rolling the generator around much easier. The handle folds down and out of the way to blend in with the frame of the generator, great idea. Again, it's only been a few days but I'm really happy with this generator and would certainly recommend it.

Follow up to original review on March 1st, 2023

I am not a paid advertiser/reviewer for Westinghouse or anyone else. This is an honest customer review. Did the initial break in and the unit runs great. Using non-ethanol fuel and have LP as my back up. Start up is easy from both the push button electric start and the remote starter. Have not used the pull starter yet. Unit is loud, but not as loud as some generators I have been around and this is typical for most portable generators.

Good first impression

I haven’t put this generator to serious use yet, but if the long term results are like the initial impression I will be super happy. It’s very simple to set up, the built in battery maintainer is worth the five stars alone, the push and remote start are super convenient. It had no issues starting on gasoline or propane. I bought this at the recommendation of my electrician installing my transfer switch.

Great Features and Prefect Start

I bought this Portable Generator this fall. It was easy to set up. I could easily start the generator by all modes - switch, remote and pull start. I was able to connect this to my home circuit easily through a transfer switch with the help of a technician and do a dry run. It worked perfectly. There was some confusion to locate the jumper settings. The picture would have been more specific to locate the settings under the cover. Also the engine oil capacity said 1.1 qt. But even after filling it completely the dip rod just indicated the level at lower point. I have not put it to use for a longer usage yet. But my first impression is very good

Arrived Undamaged and Functioning

I received the Westinghouse 9,500/12,500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator a couple weeks ago. It works great and is not as loud as others like it. We feel prepared for those unplanned power outages. Overall, very satisfied with the purchasing process and faster than estimated freight delivery.

Easy Enough for a Woman to Put Together and use

This actually has understandable instructions for ltd. assembly and for starting and usage. Very "woman" friendly. I live in a mountainous area that loses power for week at a time in winter sometimes so this generator with a Generlink allows me to power the whole house rather than to be confined to fire heat and candles because it has large wattage to handle the job. PLUS it has a little remote control to start the unit with from the house. What a plus. I am SO happy. Oh, and a handle to moving this 300 lb unit is a snap whether you are big and strong or not!

Seems to work well.

Just got the generator. Put the wheel kit on, added the oil and gas. I did let the battery charge over night. It did not want to start after several tries. Tapped on the solenoid mounted on the bottom of the carburetor and it started. Loaded it up with and air compressor. Stopped and started the generator several times, using the remote.

Great Buy

I bought this and I'm so happy that I did. Love the look of the generator and the small amount of space needed to store until I need it. The size is perfect to run my house when and if the time comes. The price was also a factor which it was also wonderful!!
