Beast of a Generator

The generate came via a lift truck. It weighs over 250 pounds. Love the fact that it has wheels and stand plus padded handle from moving it around. Love the auto start and remote start. Plus I have propane tanks in the event, I run out of fuel. Super value power for our home.

Great Value for the price

We purchased this product because we are multiple hurricane survivors and our country area has numerous power outages. This product appears to be perfect for our use. It’s heavy but I can move it easily with one hand. I’m waiting to install the transfer switch before actually giving it a test run.

Quality Product

Ordered it last week and received it the next. I was looking for a dual fuel generator and this fit the bill. Set up was easy, only needed to attach wheels and feet and fill with the provided quart of oil. I connected it to my propane tank and it fired up immediately. It has a 50A socket that will allow me to hook up to my bypass box and now and ready for Florida hurricane season!

2 day power outage experience

We had 3 day power outage due to ice storm and tree damages. I was using generator 2 day straight using 20 ga propane tanks. Great performance and reliability. I setup transfer switch for el. panel and powered whole house. The only inconvenience is to stop the generator to switch the propane tanks. But otherwise it’s a great product!!! Thanks.

Solid value, but it’ll wake up the neighbors

The Westinghouse brand proceeds itself, so here’s hoping this has the reliability I’m expecting. But, I’ve only just received my generator. Assembly was simple and straight forward. It started up without any issues and appears to be full of useful features. So far, happy with my purchase.

Observations

Right out of the box, I put oil in it, a gallon of gasoline, and it started right up. The remote also was pre-programmed and works also. Several items I think are noteworthy but not necessarily a criticism. Oil filler is awkward to remove, whereas it is right in line with the battery cables. Secondly, it would have been useful to know exactly how much oil it took. It says in the manual, 1.1 (L). I do not believe that to be accurate. The tires are not going to perform well on wet grass. The manual states it should not be operated in the rain. Also, it says the generator should not be operated in an enclosure. Where do you think people are going to operate a generator in an emergency? I bought it for hurricane season, so I cannot leave it outside? Do I build a shelter for it? This is the one question I want an answer to. I think overall I am going to be pleased with it. I am having an electrician wire in a transfer panel and by my own estimations, it will power my whole house. BEFORE I need it, I will certainly plug it in and just see what the capabilities are. Thank you.

Great Choice for Backup Solution

I bought the 9500DF to offset my home battery backup in emergency. It is a very cost effective way to support my HVAC unit in an outage, via a transfer switch to my breaker panel, without draining the backup battery that supports the rest of the house. I like that I can choose between fuel types as well and the convenience of a remote start. I love having the security to know I will always have power when needed.

Start-up

Today I put the oil into the generator so I can start it up. I followed the instructions for using a propane cylinder. Using the remote fob first, it started almost immediately. Then I tried the push button on the generator and again it started right up. What was really surprising as my wife noticed, that it is quieter then we expected. She went into the house and with the bedroom window closed she said it is quieter then the snow blower! Very satisfied.

Super Easy to Use

Thankfully I haven't had to use it yet but after hooking it up and performing a test I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. The generator's remote start is a great feature and started the generator up with ease the first time. Was able to run all necessary circuits in my house without issue. Good bye dark days!
