Been in the market for a semi-powerful generator for a while. I wanted it to be easy enough for myself and wife to operate, yet powerful enough to handle some serious business. Electric start was definitely a must. This unit comes with a remote start as well, which I considered a bonus and great addition. The price dropped considerably on Prime Day for this unit, so I pulled the trigger. The unit arrived two weeks later, bright and early. I expected the box to be beat to death but to my surprise, it was all intact. It's a heavy unit but not as heavy as I expected. Looks very well constructed. I followed the directions in the manual & test fired it with gas and propane and the unit fired right up with no problems. The first crank with the electric start did nothing. It stopped cranking on it's own and automatically tried again. It fired right up! I let it run for a moment, then shut it down. I started it with the remote. Again the first crank was unsuccessful. But it stopped cranking, then automatically tried again. It fired up!! The unit came with everything you need to get started except fuel. It even comes with a funnel for the included quart of oil and a trickle charger for the battery. I find it to be somewhat quieter than other generators I’ve been around of this type. Currently happy with this purchase & I hope I never need to use it. I can't speak to longevity just yet, as I just received. I'll update this review if need be when an emergency requires use or otherwise. So far seems like a great Generator for the price point.

I have thoroughly researched the purchase of this generator. Westinghouse Wgen9500df was the clear winner. I am not disappointed. It is extremely well built and everything is right in front of you. Although heavy, the wheel system and handle make it a breeze to move around. I could not be happier. Thank you!

We just got this generator. It was easy to put together. On its first test it powered 2 refrigerators and a stand up deep freeze without any problem. We fully expect this to be great when needed. This review is given to qualify us for the bonus item of a generator cover.

The Westinghouse 9500/12500 dual fuel generator was a easy choice. The easy feature of starting with a key fob, YES A KEY FOB! Press a button and done. Starting is easy even a kid can do it. The dual fuel is a noice option as IN case electricity at the gas pump is out Dual Fuel will always be able to keep this running as propane tanks refill without electricity. The unit even for its weight is really nimble to move in place to plug in to power my whole house. Assembly is easy. I choose portable that in the future of where I go I can simply take it with me and if a friend or family member needs to use it I can load it in my SUV, I don’t even need a truck to move this bad boy. Fuel gauge is easy to read, front control panel is well laid out and not confusing. I will pick up a 40lb. propane tank to have on stand by ready to fire it up. The cast iron block was a reason to buy it as all the better police vehicles that have a cast iron engine blocks go forever

I recently purchased the Westinghouse Generator and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and reliability. This generator has become an essential part of my household, providing a seamless power backup solution during unexpected outages or when I'm on outdoor adventures. First and foremost, the Westinghouse Generator boasts an impressive power output. With its robust engine, it effortlessly handles the power demands of my home appliances, including refrigerators, air conditioners, and even power tools. I never have to worry about overloading the generator as it consistently delivers a stable power supply. One of the standout features of this generator is its fuel efficiency. The Westinghouse Generator is designed to maximize fuel consumption, allowing me to enjoy extended runtimes without constantly refueling. This not only saves me money but also ensures uninterrupted power supply during extended power outages. The generator's ease of use is another aspect that I appreciate. The intuitive control panel provides clear instructions and allows me to easily monitor the generator's performance. Starting the generator is a breeze, thanks to the electric push-button start feature. Additionally, the generator's compact design and built-in wheels make it highly portable, enabling me to take it on camping trips or outdoor events without any hassle.

Bought this 15 ago after a 3-day power outage. While there are more powerful generators available, they price starts to increase steeply. Did my math and 9500W is enough to keep my house on during emergencies (except heavy utilities, like the oven), which is good enough for me. Nice generator, easy to carry and having dual fuel seems like a bonus to me just in case I run out of gasoline.

I was excited to try this out as soon as I got it out of the box. With minimal assembly, adding fluids and attaching the battery, I had it up and running in less than 30 minutes. This unit has enough power for me to use everything that I need in my house to get through any emergency. Hurricane season, bring it on! We are ready for you

Purchased to run the house in the event of power outage. Have used it twice already. Love the dual fuel feature. Our plan is to only use the propane feature as maintaining gas engines is time consuming and can be annoying. One nice feature is the remote start which was handy in the middle of a storm. The unit with the propane tank was set up in advance of the approaching storm. Once the power went down, flipped the mains and started the unit from inside the house. So far the generator has exceeded our expectations. Planning another purchase in the near future to run our remote power needs.

This purchase was quite reasonable for all what we got. We had an electrician put an outlet for a 50 amp hookup that was connected to our 200 amp breaker box. We ran the generator for 5 hours to break it in. Then we attached the 50 amp extension cord to the outlet box, turned off the main breaker and switched on the generator breaker. We turned on the TV, checked the refers and freezer and many other electronic devices and they all worked as if it was the actual electrical feed from the city input. We are very happy with our purchase. We would recommend this model to anyone who has a lot of electronic devices to run.

I bought the 9500DF to provide a backup source of power for our home....just in case. Have run it several time to test the dual fuel features and am happily impressed. Love the remote start feature. Knowing it’s a Westinghouse product from a US company with a stellar reputation, I can rest easy and check of one more major emergency preparedness to-do from the checklist.
