I recently bought this generator and so far have been impressed with the features. It has a pull start, push button start, and a remote key fob that all work in starting without issues. The sound is not too bad, but as expected with a generator it does have that common loud engine noise when standing next to the generator. From inside the house it's just a low hum. It does run quite stable. I have yet to test it's load. I am having a manual transfer switch installed and once installed will give the generator a full test to ensure it will support the rated watts. No complaints so far. It is heavy and having the wheels and handle making moving it very easy. Wheels seem rugged so far.

I replaced a Guardian Ultra Source 15,000 Watt Electric Start Generator with this Westinghouse 9500DF generator. I am amazed at what this gen could handle as for what we needed to maintain heat and electricity for the appliances we needed to cover power outages. This is a must purchase for major power outages in severe weather conditions, we were able to run two full floor gas heater, sump pump, computers, some lights, micro wave, 2 fridge and few other small appliances. The major ones such as freezer and frig no problem. I would buy again. It took me about 15 mins to assemble and the unit fired right up, and ran like a champ.

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.

Read instructions ,put oil and gas in it , pressed the remote on button and it started right up. Switch fuel to LP and it started right up ! How easy and simple ! I ran it for 30 minutes , then put a load on it for 30 more minutes , pulled the load off an let it run for 30 minutes to cool down .

I am in the process of building my off-grid home. My very old generator gave up so I knew I needed a newe one. After much research the WGen9500DFc best fits my current and future needs. What I realy like about it is the remote start. The other day I was up on the scaffolding putting up roof rafters and needed the generator turned on. All I had to do was pull out the remote and start it.

I was impressed that a full warranty was offered with the Westinghouse refurbished units. The cost savings went toward installing the necessary electrical components to connect to the house. I appreciated the prompt communication in reply to my question about shipping. Of course this review cannot yet include my experience running the generator. I have only just received it, this review was requested during warranty registration. I’d be happy to update my review once some hours are on it.

This generator has features to keep the home owner and the generator safe. Will meet and exceed all my power needs , dual fuel gas or propane. Easy to move when needed with large wheels , covers over the outlets to keep them dry and working, just a well built generator.

A great whole house backup - we've already used it a few times and it had no issues running our HVAC and well pump. Because we use well water and electric heat, when power goes out we lose everything so having a backup generator is a must. Yes, it may not be automatic, but at 1/10 the cost of an automatic it's worth it.

We bought this just recently but have ran it awhile to test it. Passed with flying colors. Feel a lot better having this to take care of our electrical needs when the power goes out. Just feel more secure knowing we have it. Looks like an excellent purchase. It's the dual fuel model and we're planning on hooking it up to our propane system.

Recieved and set up. Very impressed so far. I haven't had a power failure yet, but with hurricane just around the corner, I feel prepared. This unit comes with basic tools for maintenance, battery charger, remote start, and oil. And if I run out of gasoline, I can steal propane tanks from my gas grill.
