We had five power outages this past summer and thought it was time to purchase a portable generator. The Westinghouse 9500DF generator received high ratings and because it also runs on propane, we purchased it as a backup power source. It was easy to assemble and out of the box it powered up immediately. We recommend it.

We live in New England with sever winters and routine power outages. We had a freeze up last year costing us thousands to repair. Purchased this generator with the smart start as a replacement to hook up to our heating system. Also the lpg capability is a plus for sure starts eliminating no starts due to bad gas and frozen gas lines.

I had trouble getting power on the outlets (unit started fine). Put in a ticket and got a response from tech support. They sent me a new AVR. As I was swapping out the old one, I noticed one of the wires was not connected to anything (red wire). I guess it was knocked loose somewhere along the way. I reconnected it, fired up the generator and now it appears to work fine. I'll give it 4 stars now since I don't have any data on reliability.

Recieved on the 2nd day of power outage from hurricane Beryl. Quick assembly of wheels and oil, started right up on propane. We had a problem with it tripping the breaker on the 110 circuit and determined that it was a bad cord. The generator ran for 4 days resting only to change oil and add gasoline. We powered Refrigerator, Freezer, Window AC unit, coffee maker and Telivision. Really never heard it bear down because on a peak load, it just ran as a generator should and we were happy with it's performance.

The generator build quality is very good, it’s got a sturdy frame and takes up less space than my previous generator that had only half of the output that this one has. It started right away. The remote works well. I haven’t ran it in LPG yet but it appears very easy to switch.

I bought following our hard February freeze in Texas. My 4000 watt gen served us we'll, but gave us the insight to go larger. After much review of available sizes, features and brands, bought the 12500 watt Westinghouse generator. After it arrived, I had it running on both propane and gasoline in about 20 minutes. It is a high quality product with the features (12,500 w, dual fuel, electric start, remote start) that I want for that next coming disaster on Gaveston Island. Highly recommended.

Bought the generator for the house and RV. Tested the genny today, plugged into the 20 amp circuit and tested each roof top unit and the genny didn't flinch at all. Much to my surprise I was able to start the A/C units using the thermostat in auto mode. Even at camp sites with a 30amp receptacle I have trouble, so the generator performs well. If the performance is good on the 20 amp circuit, the 50 amp with a dog bone to 30amp should be great. The generator is a little fiddly to get going on propane but straight out of the box it started with no issues on propane. It can cough and splutter trying to start with the key fob. While I find the fob a neat gadget, I find I still need to move and place the generator and then throw the breakers to make it supply electric. Also the "ignition switch" does need to be in the on position to utilize the fob, and there could be the possibility of running the starting battery down. However, with this being said, the onboard Onan marquis LP on the motorhome can be a bit of a task to get going. So comparing the 2 side by side, the Westinghouse starts right up. As far as the Westinghouse brand goes, I have had a Westinghouse LCD TV from 2007, still functioning flawlessly, been aggressively transported to other homes etc and has stood the test of time and still works well. In conclusion, following the user manual and maintenance intervals there really shouldn't be an issue with operating the generator for years to come.

Just moved to NC and was told I'd need a generator at some point or other. Received the generator and after about 20-30 minutes I was in business. Putting it together was a piece of cake. After turning it on, plugged in the essentials and no problems. Bring on the storms

Bought this when I was tired of losing power multiple times per winter. Using it on propane seemed like a good idea, and it worked out well. The push button start is easy, the controls are intuitive and the manual was very easy to follow. Plenty of power to run my entire house.

Recently purchased as an upgrade to my iGen2200 to better power our whole house and while 7500 watts would have been suitable I was able to purchase this 9500 watt version around the same price so it was an easy decision. Just a great all around machine. Fuel options, power out options, starting options, monitoring options, etc. Heavy but moves easily with large wheels and a well placed handle. A bit louder that I expected, but typical of the breed, and wish there was an easier option for an exhaust extension for running inside the garage for security purposes and for the neighbors sake with the exhaust noise. No knock on the unit itself, just things I'd prefer. All in all I am very happy with this one.
