Great Features, Very Thorough Documentation

After extensive review, and discussions with a family member who is a Master Electrician, We settled on the Westinghouse dual fuel generator. This product checked all the boxes that the ME told us to look for. Our configuration consists of connecting the 50A line to power our home (in FL) in the event of a hurricane or other natural event causing a power outage. We haven't used it yet, but are confident we will be ready!

Excellent Generator

Very sturdy and well built. Was easy to assemble and get running. I had it wired into my home power panel and it runs the entire house with ease. The first time I started it, I filled it with unleaded gasoline, turned the choke to the on position, flipped the start switch to the ON position and pressed the start button, it started immediately and adjusted the choke back down on it's own as it ran. It has many excellent features. I am very satisfied with it and glad that I purchased it.

Great economical whole house generator

My wife and I chose this generator because we wanted something to power just the necessities during power outages. We are limited by a 50 amp breaker so we had to choose something that wouldn't be too little to power what we demand and wouldn't be too big and expensive have more than we could even use. We have a manual transfer switch at the panel and an external hook up that runs through the 50 amp breaker. If I had to do it again I would have had an additional breaker installed so we could use the 30 amp that this generator could also supply. This generator also has the 2 110v outlets that you could supply something without going through the panel if needed depending on your demand. This is great midsize to large generator for our needs at a good price. We are excited to have this Westinghouse product.

So grateful to have power in a storm

We've been through two storms leaving us without power for days and our new Westinghouse 9500DF is so powerful, we'll be able to run most of the house in the next storm. Set up was easy and runs so easily. Easy to transport. Love the dual fuel options.

Solid

Bought this last week to power our camper while boondocking. Have not used it yet other then initial start up and it fired right up using propane. A little louder then I was hoping for but I believe with the A/C units running the sound of it won’t be that big of a problem.

WGen9500DF Review

Have the unit up and running now. Setup was reasonably simply. Battery came fully charged. Instructions were good, although I would mention that even though you use the battery to start, you might need to manually set the choke to 'Cold Start' mode. So far I have been impressed. It seems like a true workhorse.

Product review

This product is amazing. I have to buy this product to have a power source of emergency in case of power failure. Easy to use, powerful and powerful. Easy to start. The remote control is very useful for starting and stopping while staying in the shelter. The noise of the engine is less loud than I expected. The fact that it can be used with 2 types of fuel, gasoline and propane offers a lot of flexibility and alternative solution. I shop long time before stopping my choice but I do not regret it. I roconmmande without hesitation this generator.

Nice piece of equipment

We bought this in preparation of the hurricane season since our existing generator's gas cap sealed to the tank. This generator has the size and features that we were looking for. It took me about 15 minutes from inside the box to running the other night when our power blinked during hurricane Helene. Love the key fob and the smart switch ready outlet.

Powerful and convenient with two caveats

As a generator, this is a fantastic specimen. It is powerful, has all the features I want, and likely more capabilities than I will use. It is heavy-duty, yet portable. Two issues I have noticed: 1) the fuel gauge is not accurate. It has a capacity of 6.6 gallons, and I put in over 3 gallons, but the needle did not move. Perhaps this is purposely designed so that people do not have a false sense of security? I do not know, but I would prefer an accurate gauge. 2) I am unable to manually start this monster! The push-button and remote start both work beautifully, but I cannot get enough oomph to pull-start it. I am small (5’9”, 150#) but not weak (20+ years in construction and as a firefighter), and have always been able to pull-start anything. So I am undecided on whether I would actually buy this again, but I am pleased to have it just the same. Perhaps these issues are quirks with my unit, but perhaps not. I certainly do not regret the purchase.

Everything my electrician told us we needed

We purchased this generator for backup power. It will run our furnace, our freezers, and my husband’s work computers. It runs smoothly on propane and appears to be great quality. Keep in mind that you may need a qualified electrician to install a transfer switch. We are pleased with our purchase.
