Just received item. Started right away, I just was unable to start it with the pull cord. It is tough and I'm strong enough. I have not hooked it up to propane yet, but I think this will work great. I bought this because then we likely will never have a hurricane like Ian, last year. It was like insurance, spend the money, then you won't need it.

Purchased it right after Hurricane Helene. We ran a 4500 watt unit that was enough to power lights and tv's, but not enough to add 50 amp capabilities. Received this generator, added oil, it fired right up! It will run through break-in period this weekend. I have no doubt she will run our entire home! Thank you Westinghouse

I've been studying and researching generators for months, and found that the Westinghouse WGen9500DF is by far the best all-around generators made. Not only is it duel-fuel but it also offers the switch plate along with other convenient bells&whistles which make this generator super consumer friendly for the common family to use and rely on.

First off, the shipping was terrible. They left it by the road 1/4 mile from my home in the mountain and I had no way of knowing that they had delivered it. It came 2 weeks early and if it weren't for a neighbor telling me about this box out on the road, it would have been stolen! Secondly, the generator is very cheaply made and I don't expect it will hold up under anything more than mild usage on rare occasion. Thirdly, the generator is difficult to start manually on propane. It has to be choked, even though, with electric start, choking is not necessary. Fourthly, the start sequence is processor controlled, which means, if the processor is ever compromised, it would render the generator useless unless a bypass was engineered. Fifthly, the starter made a strange free spinning sound on my first remote start-up. I checked the remote start from over 100 feet away and it started fine. Under a load test the generator preformed well. It is way too early to tell if the generator will stand the test of time.

We lose power A LOT. We purchased this to keep our fridge and internet running during outtages (we have artesian well and wood stove, so we dont need to power the entire house.) I think it will serve our purpose wonderfully. I like the remote start feature and it started up very easily. Only thing I noticed is that it seemed to require more oil at startup than the instructions say and I dont love the dipstick as i feel it doesnt give a good read on oil level.

Very simple to assemble the wheels and 2 front stands. I used a 2X4 on the front stands to make assembly easy. It took entire container of oil that is supplied in box with generator. The funnel supplied made it drip and spill proof, just need to ensure that you pour slowly. I only hooked the propane tank up but it started up after 3 auto cranks(used remote key fob). Every start after has been no problem. It’s much quieter than my power mate 6500. Has all the hookups one could need from running power saws to hooking up to transfer switch and running house power. Look forward to using this when we lose power. If you aren’t sure on buying this, check out the unit on YouTube. I was convinced when I saw a video of it running furnace and AC!

Easy to understand the controls. The manual is coated so the paper does not fall apart. I like the carrying handle very safe. The Generator was well packaged for shipping. I love the dual fuel feature. I have a 500lbs propane tank with a quick disconnect fitting installed. Just plug in and start-no mess of spilled gas.

I experience several power outages in my neighborhood throughout the year. At least three or four times for several hours. I had a 50 amp plug tied into my breaker panel and this generator runs the entire panel with ease. No more plugging extension cords and running them through windows or doors for me.

Purchased a couple months ago, Started on propane for break in. Started and ran smoothly. Plugged a few different electrical devices in and seems to be a keeper. It is a bit louder than expected but not advertised as quiet so it is what it is. When I added all the provided oil it was on the low end of the dip stick, wish I had 1 to 2 more ounces of oil included.

As the title says, this is one of those items that you invest in that you hope never to have to need.... but will be forever grateful to have if you do. We just purchased it in preparation of this winter. It's easy to set up, easy to move around and easy to start. We have not had to use it as of yet but feel assured that it will work well if we do.
