We purchased this model generator to use as a stand by power source for our home. It runs everything in our home with ease. We have gas appliances. The 9500 DF runs furnace, lights, freezers and refrigerators along with bathroom and ceiling fans. The only thing that makes it flinch is the central air but the AC is not a priority to us. Westinghouse was not even on my radar for a portable generator until I researched deeper. Westinghouse has good reviews, longevity, and competitive prices. The generator runs very well and we are at 5600 feet elevation. The way I understand it, at 3.5% derate per 1000 feet of elevation above sea level the 9500 Watt rated generator is producing an actual Watt rating around 7638 Watts. Even at less than optimal output we can run our home on gas or propane.

I just brought it home, unboxed and set it up. The quality is very nice and quite a step up from the one I bought (different brand) for Wilma quite a long time ago. Love the dual fuel feature. Hope this will be as reliable as the one we're replacing.

Set up and build seems very good. Placement of parts and placements of components seem on par for strategic and weight disbursement. You can usually tell if a engine and it's housing it built well by the sound of start up and this bad boy is built very well. Only has a 20 min break in run time and everything seems good so far and time will tell how it holds up. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because the unit I received wasn't QC'd very well. There is some welding that wasn't completed on the top of the housing cage.

I bought this two weeks ago and I am extremely happy with my purchase. Spent a month researching generators and found the options on this model fit all my needs. This will provide my wife and myself peace of mind with the recent upward trends of Hurricanes and winter freezes like we've endured, even here in South Texas.

Bought the Westinghouse 9500DF to run my house for hurricane Ian. I was out of power for 4 days. Great purchase used the Propane setting was flawless, on a 20lb tank was getting 10hrs with a full load. I have two 200amp panels with a 50amp twist lock, ran the whole house all appliances except the two AC units no issues. If you put a hard start on your AC it will run a 3 Ton unit. If your thinking about purchasing this unit, don't hesitate take care of it and it will last.

We just got this generator, started up just fine, manual was easy to follow. I had to add more that one container of oil. We plan to power several refrigerators in the house and shop, propane cook top, a few lights, and the well pump using the GenerLink device when to power goes off.

This generator is ideal for our home. It sure beats spending 5 times more on a whole house when you simply need the basics to work during a power outage. This generator has plenty of power and an easy start which makes it perfect for either of us to get it going. Happy so far!

This thing is a beast. It starts easily and powers just about everything in a 1400 sq ft home. The instruction manual and maintenance schedule are both very informative and easy to read. Money well spent for a peace of mind in hurricane season in Florida!

after several outages and having to borrow a generator in order to keep the heat on I was able to get this generator after the fact and have not had a power outage since. I played around with the gen when i finally received it . I put some gas in it and it started right up how ever after it sat for two years with gas in it I put stabilizer in the tank but the carb was fouled, luckily the gen has alternate fuel in the way of propane and i was able to start it with the propane and we were ready to go so the carb is toast but they are not expensive

I bought this after the last hurricane came through N.C. andcwe lost our power. My wife is on oxygen and her emergency tank ran out seeing the oxygen company was out of equipment has no choice but to run a drop cord to our Jeep to use the inverter to run her portable oxygen machine. Also lost everything in our refrigerator and freezer so no matter what we will be set and ready for next time we are without power. This thing powers the whole house at least the main necessities. Very happy and pleased with our purchase.
