No more carb issues

Several of my neighbors had bought similar dual fuel Westinghouse generators a few years ago along with interlock kits to be able to power through their home service panels. I hadn't and regretted it during a multi-day outage from a recent hurricane. My old gas generator was running roughly once I had finally gotten it running. Nice not to have to worry about carb issues - planning to run exclusively from propane to avoid this in the future.

Excellent generator

I purchased this generator several months ago and am very happy with it. It will start right up. I've only run it on gas so far, but it has been very dependable. I plan on using it for a 50 amp hookup as a home power backup, but I like that it can be used for 30 amp or 120 volt power also. The battery tender is an added bonus. Like the commercials of old, "You Can Be Sure If Its Westinghouse".

Excellent generator

I bought this generator with hopes of powering all the essentials in my parents' house. I'm very impressed with the product. The biggest selling point for me was it can take two forms of fuel. Assembly was very easy, and I'm able to power almost any home appliance I can at it. I expected it to be very loud, but it's not as loud as other generators I've come across of similar size. Hooking it up to my tank of propane was incredibly easy. It was easier than pouring gasoline into it. It's good to have fuel options! I also like the multiple ways to start it up. It even comes with a key fob start up remote. I'm very happy with my purchase and I know this generator will last me a long time.

Great Value for the money

Just recently purchase this generator. Had a transfer switch installed to make the cut over much easier. Upon testing the generator it was able to power all the essential electrical devises in our home : lights, gas fired furnaces and hot water heaters, etc. Great value and peace of mind for the money.

WGen9500DF Potent Power Unit

I just received this united on 9/11/2020 (37 days after purchase) and put it thru all of the non load run tests. It started on gasoline and propane by remote and push button every time with minimum noise/vibrations and no leaks. Ran 4 times for 1/2 hr. each on both fuels with no problems, real test will come when power outage occurs. Only issue I had was a minor one. The weld on nut for one of the front feet was poorly done and snapped off when tightening.

Peace of mind....

I bought this two months ago and finally got our electrical panel wired and love knowing that I am prepared and that if here in Texas we have another power outage I can continue to keep my in-home business functioning. I appreciate the quality of Westinghouse and the fact that this generator can run on gas or propane and that it has a remote.

Great buy for the money

I originally purchased a smaller Ryobi generator after a power outage due to a hurricane and it did the job, but I wanted to get more power! (Que grunts) I looked into all the options and in my opinion, this is by far the best in this class range compared to the others with the options and power available to me now. Now I can power anything in the house I need for long power outages without the need to pull start(even though the motor starts right up with the first pull anyways). Haven't had to use it for that yet luckily, but I know I don't have to worry about that anymore. For the price, this is a great long-term investment.

Eazy Setup, Eazy Start!

Wow! It took all of 10 minutes from out of the box to run ready. The longest part was carefully putting the supplied quart of oil in. I hooked it to a 20 lb propane bottle and after pairing the fob, hit the start button. It caught on the second automatic crank. After a good warm up, I plugged in my Tesla to the 50 amp outlet and let it run for awhile. The next day I ran it again, just as easy and charged my Tesla for an hour. Everything went as expected. I am no longer worried about the next storm.

Overall great product

From reciept of shipment, to start-up, the 9500 is an easy product to set up an use. I chose propane for fuel. If a time comes that I use the generator full time, I may switch to gasoline, but I felt there would be fewer problems with long term storage if I used propane. Yes, you suffer a little power loss with propane, but the engine runs cleaner. No problems with gasoline going bad. I am very pleased with this purchase.
