We recently moved to a rural area and have been experiencing power outages on a fairly regular basis. They generally don't last more than a couple hours or so, but during below zero temps even a couple hours is a concern. Having a generator became a priority, and after some research the 9500 seemed a no-brainer. Fortunately the previous owner had wired for a generator, so all we had to do was plug it in. Within a couple weeks of installation the power went down, and mere minutes later we were back up and all was well. It's a great feeling knowing that if, for whatever reason, we lose power that we'll have it back on in moments and this 9500 will provide as much power as we need without a problem. One note: If it's cold out you'll have to manually move the chock to its fully closed position. It wasn't that cold (probably well above freezing) the first time I hooked it up for a test, and I assumed, since it was relatively mild out, that the automatic choke would set itself to start the engine. I made several attempts to start the generator without success and then remember a note about setting the chock manually. I set it, and the generator fired immediately. I seriously doubt one could do better than this generator in its class, especially for the price. We couldn't be happier with it.

I bought this to replace a smaller generator on which I was tired of replacing carburetors. This was, in my opinion, a GREAT value for the features but I was even more pleased when it arrived and I saw the quality of the product. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a portable generator with the power to run your whole house.

I've wanted a duel fuel generator for a couple years. Our remote location as well as some of the recent ice / thunderstorms made me decide it was time. After researching several brands I landed on the Westinghouse 9500DF. It arrived today. It's well packed and came with the propane hose and even oil, which I didn't expect. Now-a-days it seems like products are shipped with teh bare basics, leaving you to run to the hardware store. That's not the case here. I also read the manual, and I have to say it's one of the better I've received in awhile. It even has a valve lash gap spec and maintenance procedure. Overall the first impression is very positive. I need to fuel up and getting it running through the break-in process.

With a planned power outage, we decided to give our new generator a test run before winter hits. We were extremely impressed with how well this generator handled the load of both our well and water heater, always our biggest loads, with no issues. And we couldn’t be more thrilled with the remote start, which saves our old shoulders from cranking our old system in the snow!

I bought this as an emergency backup in case of power outages and I am so glad I did. I'll leave installing the transfer switch to a qualified electrician because I like my house, but the generator was so easy to setup I had it up and running within minutes (once reading the user's manual of course). It runs as smooth as silk on both gasoline and LP gas. I chose Westinghouse because it is a name that has stood for quality all of my long life and it's good to see that this has not changed. For ease of setup and smooth operation, this generator gets two thumbs up and my highest recommendation.

Just got the 9500DF this week. So easy to set up and instruction are easy to read and on target. Self charging battery (when unit is running) along with a trickle charger are nice features I did not expect but are included with this model. Unit started right up and runs quieter than the generators my neighbors have. The fold away handle makes the unit relatively easy to maneuver to where you want it. Will be able to power my entire house with this unit.

The builder of our home pre-installed an exterior access point for generators to connect to the power main. I wanted a portable generator with enough power to power most, if not all, of the house. I chose this model because of its 50 amp output and dual fuel capability. The assembly instructions were very easy to follow, in well-written English. Assembly, by myself, took less than a half hour.

This is the 2nd attempt for getting the "bonus cover" for leaving a review. I received an email from Westinghouse saying my 1st review went live. No idea where it went. This gen is perfect for what I needed. Started right up on propane, no gas yet. It ran my freezer, refrigerator/freezer and central air with no problem. Would buy again if needed.

This unit gives you options. Gas or propane. Manual start or electric (or remote). 120V, 240V on the unit, or enough power to be used as a whole house unit. For the price it cant be beat as it comes with the wheel kit, handle, and the LP regulator. Plus the 3 year warranty gives you some comfort regarding durability. I would recommend this unit. The only negative is noise. However, I didn't see any competitive units that were quieter and offered the features this one does. They are all loud.

After spending a week in the heat of July in Houston after Hurricane Beryl, I am so glad we have this generator now. We have tested it to make sure it is working (please make sure your battery is charged on it before attempting remote start, we learned this lesson and thought it was broken) and it is enough to power our fridge, fish tank items, lights, fans, TV and a couple of window AC units.
