Good quality generator

I bought this last year to have as backup power for my house. Have only had to use it once but it worked great for the few things I ran on it. I can’t wait to see how it performs once I really run much more off of it. It runs a little loud for my liking but that’s not a huge problem.

Westinghouse 9500DF backup /portable generator

I bought this at the end of 2021 as a propane backup generator for portions of my house. I hired an electrician to complete the electrical work to connect to the backup panel and he was so impressed with the quality and versatility he wants to order one as well. My impression of build quality is top notch. It is a little louder than I would prefer but anything this powerful is going to through off some sound. It is perfect as a backup. I like the flexibility of its portable size but I would not recommend for camping except to top off other portable batteries to power your cabin or tent setup.

Westinghouse 9500 Generator

Excellent generator for the price I paid. After reading reviews I decided to purchase this generator and am very pleased with it. It has all the bells and whistles that I wanted and more. I hope I never have to use it, but am confident if I do it will perform with out any issues.

gREAT BUY FOR MONEY

ASSEMBLY WAS MINIMUL. ONLY ISSUE WAS TOOK ABOUT 1.5 QTS OIL. FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS BUT WAS NOT CLEAR. ONCE I SAW OIL AT TIP COVERING THE "L" I STOPPED AND TESTED UNIT AGAIN. THEN RECHECKED OIL. HANDLED FULL LOAD AFTER WARM UP WITHOUT ANY ISSUSES. NOISE WAS AS EXPECTED AND BOTH PROPANE AND GAS RUN FINE. FEATURES ARE NICE AND SIMPLE. A GREAT ADDITION WOULD BE AN AMPERE METER/VOLTAGE. HOOKED UP TO OUTSIDE 50 AMP PLUG, THEN TO A AUTOMATIC SWITCH OVER TRANSFER BOX. INTSALLED A 10 MIN DELAY TIMER ON AC UNIT AND ELECTRIC FURNANCE BACK. THIS ALLOWS FOR EQUALIZATION OF GENERATOR POWER AND THE SEQUENCE OF BRINGING THEM ONLINE. WILL SEE HOW WELL PREFORMS UNDER POWER FAILURE, BUT EXPECT NO ISSUES.

Easy set up, runs well

I bought this generator for backup during power outages. Arrived in good condition. Set up was easy. Unit looks well designed with all parts easy to identify and access. Started well and produced power for test. Very simple to start and run. Only glitch was on electric start. Directions indicated wires needed to be hooked to battery post, but they already were when I unpacked. It wouldn't start though. What it actually needed was to have the two ends of a connector in between the battery and the starter plugged together. Once I figured that out, the connector was easy to access and push the wire leads together. Then electric starter worked perfectly. I really like the automatic choke when using the electric start, since "choking" a small engine can be confusing for some.

Easy set up and start

I had been looking at electric start generators for some time. My old pull start had become hard to start in its old age and mine as well. Got frustrated and wanted electric start. Living in an area with frequent outages it was only a matter of time until I needed it. This day was a +100 degree run and we were out for 2 days. I went to the store to find this generator to be the only one in stock. No my first choice or the one I had did research but my only choice. Glad it was. Set up was very easy (wow it weighs a ton) not a one person load or unload but the extending handle and large wheels make it easy for one person to move. I love the remote start and how quickly it responds. It does not require a separate ground and is quieter than my old generator. Not that it is campground quiet but won’t drown you out talking next to it. I have not ran it at full capacity yet since I’m in the break in time frame but I sure it will handle it well. Very nice design and features. Glad it was my only choice. I did look online afterwards and noted very positive responses.

Off the grid seniors
5 out of 5 stars review

Just what we need

We bought this generator to pump our well until we have an off the grid solar system installed and later on for emergency power failure or use on our land. Its features exactly match our needs. It is easy to maneuver even though it is heavy 220 lbs. We were concerned about that because we are seniors. Starts right off. The remote control is so convenient. Dual fuel adds flexibility on choice of fuel. The transfer switch capability is an added bonus when we are older not having to worry about struggling.

My first generator

This brand received high ratings when I was doing my research. It was fairly straightforward to assembly. The manual needs to be updated since the battery connection is now done differently since the leads are already connected to the posts. Now the wires to the battery are connected by male and female connecters half way along the lines.

Awesome generator at a great price!

We keep having power outages couple of times a year, so I decided to get a generator. After months of research I decided to go with this one, and I'm glad I did! It has plenty of power and I love all the features it has. Definitely happy with my purchase and I highly recommend it!

Better Than Expected

Set up was very easy with little effort. Simply snap the clips to connect the battery. Slide the wheels into position and clip the pin. easy. I am using propane, so i attached the propane connector and started up on first push of the button. One item to note is the remote fob was attached to the pull cord of the engine. So at fist glance i thought it was missing. It was not. We are excited to put this to use!
