Bought in Dec 2019 to prepare for hurricane season. Also hired electrician to install interlock switch and transfer switch on house. Small hurricane side swiped us (hurricane Sally) and lost power. Time to remove from shipping box, hook up LP fuel source, plug into house only took 30 mins. Cranked in 2 pulls! Remember, I had to unpack it and use it for the first time. 30 mins was fast. Lots of power...ran 3 freezers, 2 refrigerators, all lights, tv, and small window mounted A/C. I absolutely recommend the generator.

This generator replaced an old Briggs & Stratton 5k generator that died after Hurricane Sally. Compared to the old generator, the Westinghouse is quieter, easier to start, and much more powerful. Assembly is simple and it is relatively easy to move around, despite its weight. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I was looking for a generator to provide emergency backup to critical circuits in my home. I researched for about two months before settling on the WGen9500DF. I have only had it for two days. Time will tell how it holds up. I was skeptical at the build quality, and expected it to be a cheaply made Chinese generator private labeled under the Westinghouse name. After un-crating and setting up the build quality far exceeded my expectations. It was manufactured in China but indicates engineered in Columbus Ohio. A majority of the parts are cast or stamped metal. The air filter housing is stamped metal. I expected cheap plastic. The frame is solid tube steel. Compared to other models that I considered from WEN and Honda this unit definitely has the best overall value. Westinghouse did an amazing job of balancing features and price. To be clear it is not a Honda, but for the money it is not a fair comparison. The dual fuel is a great feature. The remote start is neat too, but not really a sales feature that I considered. The included tool kit was a surprise. It comes with a combination wrench with two different sizes that fits most of the hardware on the unit and a spark plug wrench packed in a well stitched nylon tool bag. The tools are solid quality and not the disposable tools that come with do it yourself furniture. They remind me of the multi tool that comes with a Stihl chainsaw.

Generator was easy to finish assembling. Can with everything you need. Great flexibility to go between had and propane of needed. Only done a test run but it doing well. Looking forward to getting my house wiped for a transfer switch. It should work nicely with this unit. The push start and remote are great options.

I bought this generator two months ago to hook to my house if the power is down. I'm so glad I did. Our power was off for several hours. And thanks to this generator we were able to have power for lights and keep our fridge and freezers going. Very well built, easy to use, and love being able to have dual fuel options.

Style: 9500W Dual Fuel Arrived within one week of purchase, assembly was fairly easy and the instructions were very easy to understand and follow. I charged the battery, added oil and gas and it started the very first time. I have been running it for a break in period off and on for the last few weeks, it is recommended to allow five hours running time for a break in period. I purchased it to replace our 5K generator that was 20 years old and had stopped producing electricity. I have not had to use it yet, but I am sure it will be more than enough for us in case of a power outage. I am impressed by the sturdy packaging that it arrived in as well as the ease of assembly, it included all tools needed as well as the oil and the funnel. It seems like a well designed product and hopefully will last as long as my previous generator.

I bought this just before the last winter blast that went through our state. Our last one was a gas only Troy-Bilt 5500 and while it works, it only has the pull start and it takes so long and so much effort to start that I was just done worrying as to whether I'd be able to get it to work when we needed it. This one has remote start, push button start and pull start as a backup! Plus it can use gasoline or propane with an easy toggle! Love this!

I mainly bought this generator to do some welding where I'm not able to plug into the grid and for the occasional power outage. I went with this one for the wattage but also all the extra plugs and accessories that you can run on this machine. Being able to run gas or Propane with a flip of a switch is extremely handy if you are out of either gas at a given time. 3 different ways to start the engine is also nice. Very versatile generator with lots of power to handy small to big loads. It's also very beautiful with the black and blue!

Fast shipping, there was very little assembly required, sturdy, even has wheels and a pull out handle for easy moving, has everything my husband wanted in a generator for our home/family in case of emergencies like the one last February that left 12 of us in a tiny RV because it had propane for heat. My husband and I are glad we chose Westinghouse after researching other brands, it was rated one of the best.

Decided to buy a generator after the big freeze and power outage in Texas and settled on this one. Followed all the instructions in the manual and fired it up. The FOB pairing was pretty straightforward. The first time trying it out, it didn’t start on the first go. It cranked 3 different times before the engine turned over. Checked the receptacles and they all had full voltage output. I haven’t tried it on my transfer switch but will update review when I do.
