Great Generator!

Works very well. I like the dual fuel feature. The build seems of good quality and the control panel is well made. It comes with a battery charger and a start/stop remote control. The owner's manual is complete and the modification to open the neutral is easy.

The Key Fob is a nice touch

I purchased this on 9/1/19 because I never want to go through what we did after Hurricane Florence. We were without power for 10 days which doesn't seem like a big deal except it is very hot and humid were we live and my wife ended up in the ER because of it. My criterion for a generator is one that can run everything especially the AC. I figured out what the draw of the AC is when it is running and with this generator, there is plenty of power to spare, also it has plenty of power to handle the AC start up. I originally thought about getting a Generac whole house system, but it cost more than I could afford. So for less than half of one of those systems, I bought the WGen9500DF, I also purchased a Suncast small shed, a 50 amp service and a mechanical lockout that prevents the generator feed breaker to be on at the same time as the main breaker which makes it perfectly legal in our state. No transfer switch to worry about and I can run anything in the house. I installed it and tested it using propane, the generator ran flawlessly and it ran everything including the AC. The only thing left to do is to modify the enclosure by adding ventilation through louvered screens and a box fan. See the pictures that I added.

Westinghouse 9500DF backup /portable generator

I bought this at the end of 2021 as a propane backup generator for portions of my house. I hired an electrician to complete the electrical work to connect to the backup panel and he was so impressed with the quality and versatility he wants to order one as well. My impression of build quality is top notch. It is a little louder than I would prefer but anything this powerful is going to through off some sound. It is perfect as a backup. I like the flexibility of its portable size but I would not recommend for camping except to top off other portable batteries to power your cabin or tent setup.

Great machine

After having COVID19 and then while I was still in the hospital (90 days)i contracted pneumonia. I am home now and on oxygen 24/7 I need a reliable source of electricity to run my concentrator when the power goes out. the Westinghouse 9500 duel fuel generator does the job perfectly. good price, easy remote start. ILOVE IT.

Life Saver

I purchased this after losing power for a week during Hurricane Ian. This year with Hurricane Helene and Milton there was again extended power loss. This generator powered my entire home (minus the A/C unit) for 7 days. Maintenance was quick and easy limiting down time.Run time on a full tank at about 75% was 10+ hours. It was so simple to operate, my wife did it. Highly recommend

So far so good

I just received this generator yesterday, and have not actually tried to start it up/use it yet - I will update this review when I have had a chance to evaluate how it is working. Arrived with some oil having soaked thru the bottom of the box, and oil was coating the support frame under the battery, but I could not see or fell any oil leaking from the oil tank or anywhere else, so not sure where it came from or whether significant or not. On initial inspection, the generator appears all in good shape, with no parts or accessories missing. The wheels and frame supports were easily installed. I intend to fire it up in the next day or so. Have to wait for 6 weeks or so before I can hook it up to the house (the soonest we can get an electrician to install a plug-in/transfer switch to the side of the house.

just received

Just purchased and haven't had a chance to use it yet. It is heavy at over 200 lbs. Gas cap is very large and I thought good until I started pouring fuel in. Due to a debris catcher had to pour slowly. Make sure you cut on the fuel cutoff before attempting to start it if using gas. Started after a few attempts.

Very Impressed with Unit

I purchased the 9500DF unit for power backup in our home. Unit arrived in good condition, easy to assemble and move around after assembly. I plan to use propane mostly to avoid the extra maintenance of gasoline in the carburetor. I connected a 15 lb propane tank, the unit started immediately with the remote. I purchase a 13' 6-gauge extension cord and connected it to a 50 amp outside outlet. Generator ran fine with an electrical load, very pleased with unit so far.

WGen9500DFc

I picked up the generator, was easy to set up. Needed more oil than came with it by just a little. Started up fine with electric start and remote. Have not tried it on propane yet. We purchased this to run part of our house as we live in a rural area that looses power in winter at times. So far very happy.

Excellent Value

I have been searching for a portable generator for a few years now since we were without power a few years ago for a week in Mid December, due to a cold winter ice storm in Michigan. I borrowed a friends 5000W Honda generator and got us through it some what painlessly. He has offered to sell me it but a 25 year old Honda still fetches a hefty price. I wanted a brand name and larger than 5000W. They are all expensive and not getting any cheaper. I just happened on this one and after a thorough search, discovered that it was selling for a very fair price. It is exactly what I was looking for. Got here very quickly, with the box and equipment all in excellent shape. Every thing was there, and what little assembly I encountered was quick and simple. I have only gotten to fire it up and run a few pieces of tools and equipment in the garage for a test, and it has worked flawlessly. When I get my electrical renovation and upgrades done I am looking forward to plugging it in and letting it rip. It will easily handle every thing I deem critical in my home plus plenty of room for additional add ons.
