Just bought this as my first generator. I did a lot of research, and this model had everything I was looking for. The packaging when I opened the box was very nicely done. The generator was not marked at all. After an easy setup it started on the first try. I tested both gas and propane, as well as the electric, recoil, and remote control start. all worked on the first try. Looking forward to many years of use!

From hurricanes to freezes, living in Texas requires a back-up power system. Bought the 9500 for it's power output and flexible fuel source. Was very pleased that it came complete from oil and wrenches to butane connection hose. No need to buy or modify anything. That's becoming very rare in a most products! Instructions are clear and helpful.

Purchased this as a partial home backup generator given the increasing frequency of storms knocking out power in our neighborhood. Now we can open the garage door, keep our security system and internet online, and keep our fridges running so our food doesn't spoil while waiting on the power to be restored. Stoked about this addition to our home and investment in our future. (Though truthfully, I hope it's rarely used!)

I live in Fort Worth TX and after last winters storm and being without power for several days I decided to by a generator. I love that it's dual fuel in case I have a problem getting fuel for it for any reason. I had an electrician install an inlet on the outside of my home to feed my home electrical panel in the event of an outage. It's not quite powerful enough to run my central ac but it will run everything else that I would need to keep running. It's easy to start with the fob that comes with it and you can also start it with the pull cord if needed. You can't go wrong with this tough gu!

Since I purchased this for emergencies only if our power ever goes out for extended periods, I only ran it for a few hours just to test it out. I don't have a propane tank so just tested it with ethanol free gasoline, but it started right up and had no issues powering several 1500 watt space heaters. It seems to be well-built so I expect it should last many years. One small thing to note is that the oil it comes with may not be quite enough so just keep in mind that a few more ounces of oil may be necessary when first filling it up which is what I had to do. That was the only nitpicky thing I can think to mention about this generator. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone and consider it a very good generator that is priced competitively.

Purchased this Westinghouse to replace a piece of junk Pulsar. This generator starts fast and consistent, is amazingly quiet for the wattage, has a remote that works 100ft away and does not bog down even running a 220v well. The quality seems excellent - the value for the price is the best I have seen. I am very pleased.

Got this unit 2 days ago. Unpacked it from box and assembled it in minutes. Love that it already has a battery and charger plus push button start including a key fob. Tested it on propane after filling with oil and it fired right up and ran great. I checked the voltage outputs and frequency with my meter and they checked excellent. Will be easy to start and run periodically since I can charge the onboard battery and connect a propane tank in minutes!! So far... Great experience!!

I purchased 2 different brand generators prior to this one, they both had issues and had to be returned. So pleased with this Westinghouse generator!! Instruction manual was very complete and made it so easy to set up. Started on the first try! Love the remote key fob and the battery maintainer - unexpected bonus!!! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!!!

The product assembly was easy, the shipping was prompt, and the instructions for start up were well written. The duel fuel is a life saver incase the gas stations are without power. The generator started up easily with the push button start and ran excellent. I am excited to use this product when the time comes... and that is saying something. I think this generator is the best bang for your buck

Purchased the 9500 DF in July and have not used as yet. . Rating is based on quality build and components and clear information and instructions.Will be happy to give a follow up rating once the 9500DF kicks into action. Positive owner reviews and multiple articles on this generators quality and reliability were key factors in making my purchase from the many other models on the market. The duel gas and propane fuel feature will be a must as I saw neighbors scrambling to find gas at the pumps which did not function with no power!!! The test will come this winter with the increasing number of intense storms affecting the power grid.. Looking forward to hearing my generator kick into action when the power goes down.
