I bought this because power on Whidbey Island goes out a couple times a winter because of high winds. This generator has the features I was looking for in a portable house generator. I haven't actually used it yet, but I like most of the design except for the 50-amp receptical. Whoever placed the receptical over the wheel has never had a 50-amp cord in their hands. I plan to power my house with the 50-amp cord and will have to remove the wheel after the generator is in place. As can be seen with the picture, the power cord plug uses most of the space between the receptical and wheel. These cords are massive and not very flexible so I will have to remove the wheel to get the 50-amp cord plugged in. Every 50-amp cord I've seen has a 90 degree angle plug.

Very easy to put together out of the box. Liked it from the start, didn't come with enough oil but, fortunately had some in the garage. Took several times to get started but, did finally get cranked up and ran like a champ. Looking forward not forward to use it. Overall I think this is going to be a great purchase.

I spent a lot of time doing homework on generators and I am so glad I did. This generator is practically turnkey and is easy enough for someone like me to figure out. It’s a great generator and I’m glad that I picked this one because the price of it is great as well. It’s worth it to do your homework there’s a lot of generators out there, this Westinghouse 9500 DEF is a winner!

Bought this unit to serve as a backup to our rural mountain house. Right out of the box, with less than 5 minutes assembly time, I connected it to a fuel source and it started right up! Time will tell, but with the Westinghouse name, I have all the confidence that it will serve our needs with ease.

Easy set up. Came a little later than the original shipping date and I was angry about that. Overall I'm satisfied with the product. I am currently in the break in stage with it and getting it registered for warranty. I have tried both the propane and gas at this time to be sure they would work. I would recommend buying this product unless you need it immediately. Don't buy this product if you are in a hurry for it.

I purchased this unit as a portable backup generator for my house. Just finished installing it. Nice unit. Minor quality issue however. I was unable to fully attach the feet to the unit due to a misalignment of the nut welded onto the frame. Not a major issue, just annoying. It fired up right away. I especially like the remote start feature. Can't say that I'm looking forward to using it because that means we have a power outage. Looking forward to using it for remote outdoor events.

Purchased this Sept. 2024. Living in Florida this is a must have generator. Being a duel fuel can give you ample time to keep your power on. This has all the features you would ever need. It was very easy to set up installing the wheels and stationary support feet. Added the oil and connected the battery and was ready to go. I installed a 50 amp inlet to the panel. I started it up plugged it into the 50 amp inlet and had power to everything I needed. I didn't try the ac unit. This unit comes with the best easy to understand manuals. Parts list and quick reference is also included. This seems like a top quality generator for the money,

I'm very happy with this purchase. I have used it twice so far and its has powered everything we needed. I like the dual fuel option. Its somewhat noisy but I knew that from other reviews. I had a small issue with the automatic choke, and the customer support was great and help straighten out. Great performance and support at a reasonable price.

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.

Just purchased and set up, directions were easy to follow which made it a snap. Even setting up the remote fob easy to do and everything worked from the first push of the button. I plugged in my shop vac and it didn't skip a beat, I then plugged in vac/shredder and vacuumed up the remaining fall leaves. We are currently renting so I won't be adding a transfer box until we are in our own home. Out of the box this is a great product, hopefully after some general use it will remain the same.
