This genereator is not very loud. It is about as loud as a riding lawn mower. I like having the option between propane, and gas. The remote start is a nice feature as well. I like that this generator has a back up pull start if the elcetric start would for some reason would fail. This generator has a trickle charger for the battery so the battery is always charged and ready to go when the power goes out for the electric start. It works well, and is able to power my entire home. It was definitely worth the investment.

I bought this generator after it was recommended by a friend and so glad I did , I like the way it was packaged and easy set up the instructions were very clear, haven't had to put it into service yet but with the Westinghouse reputation I'm sure everything will go fine.

I've been wanting this generator for a while and finally made the purchase. I've known several others that have had Westinghouse generators for years and each of them have had nothing but flawless operations from their generators. Looking forward to years of the same with this one!

In rural Oklahoma, we often lose power, sometimes for days after a big storm. This generator replaces two other generators that didn't do as much as this one! It starts like a dream with the electric starter, and the dual fuel option is great; if we can't buy Gasoline, we can always attach it to our Propane.

Bought this generator to replace a 20-year-old one. I really wanted to be able to use propane and my wife really likes the remote start feature this generator offered. Even though we have not had to use it yet the startup and testing went flawlessly. We are both happy with our purchase.

We live in south west and in the summer time it hits a 119 degrees when the power goes out you better have a Westinghouse 9500dfc generator. I run my air-conditioning and refrigerator and a small freezer with no problem. I love this generator i never worry about the power going out anymore. Everyone should have one of these thanks Westinghouse.

The item was very well packed and arrived in good condition. The instructions for assembly were clear and assembly was easy. The manual should be updated as to battery connection. The terminals were already installed, all I had to do was connect the polarized plug to connect the battery instead of screw the leads on the battery. That was great. After that, the manual falls short. The assembly instructions stop on page 13, and goes right into the features. There is no mention of adding oil until you get to page 20 which refers you to "See Checking Engine Oil." without a page reference. So I have to search for that in the Table of Contents and go to maintenance section on page 26. Now I have to go back to page 20 and start again. I thought that the setup and preparation for initial operation instructions were too scattered throughout the manual and sometime incomplete For example, on page 22 under Operation, paragraph 3 says "Make sure the circuit breakers are properly set (see Figure 8)." OK, but figure 8 shows the circuit breakers in both the Operating and Tripped position, and doesn't say which is "proper" for starting. Now I know the breakers need to be in the operating position to provide power, but do I want them tripped for startup? I would have liked to see more of an initial setup that walks you straight through all the items needed to check, fill, or service to be ready to start. Very much like a Quick Start guide. Then go into the Before Starting the Generator section which outlines the ventilation, location, grounding requirements, power cord size, etc. I would also like to see a fluid specification chart that tells me the gasoline requirements/capacity as well as the engine oil type and capacity. All on one page or in one paragraph in the initial setup section I proposed.

Generator was delivered damaged on top of bottom Of frame shifting everything inside the frame crooked. Box was already open coming off the truck. There are several parts connected to the frame. Starter light doesnt stay on causing unit to shut off and takes 3 times of restarting to stay running. Once running it does an excellent job.

I bought this generator for use on stormy days when the power goes out, living in East Texas this happens a few times per year for up to a day. So having a home generator to supplement is very helpful. great unit start up every time and lasts long when on gasoline.

I just received my new dual fuel generator and although quite heavy it was fairly easy to assemble the wheels and mounting brackets. I am extremely pleased with the solid construction and many features. I am somewhat conflicted because I live in Florida and as much as I want to use it, I hope I don't have to, since that will generally involve a hurricane or other type of disaster.
