So far, what a find and nice piece of equipment!!

After the preparations the literature gives you, and allowing the battery to charge overnight, this generator fired up with only one or two turns of the starter!! Checked all my electrical outputs, and all are as advertised. I wish it weighed half as much, and was half as loud, but now I’m just whining!!😁 Overall, I don’t think you can beat the capabilities this unit offers, at this price, and a three year warranty!!

Great value for the money

Purchased due to a bad storm that left us without power for 5 days. The unit appears to be well made, has all the output options including a 30 amp and a 50 amp RV receptacle. Duel fuel is a great feature that provides an option if gasoline is unavailable. User manuals are very good and includes detailed parts list. (Most manuals nowadays are terrible, well done Westinghouse)

Well Equipped and Solidly Built Generator

I just got this generator set up and running. Setup was straightforward, and started right up first time, using a 20 lb propane tank to fuel it. I switched on all my back-up circuits in the transfer switch (manual) and the generator carried the loads smoothly. I think this model is very capable and lives up to its Westinghouse reputation.

Everything we need and more

I did extensive research on portable dual fuel generators as we live in the desert southwest and during monsoon storms lose power quite frequently at the hottest time of the year and need a dependable generator. At first we thought about a whole house gen set until we talked with people that have them and have had nothing but problems and were considering purchasing portable units. After much deliberation we settled on the Westinghouse 9500DF. We already had a receptacle installed and the house wired for 50 amps with an interlock on the breaker panel. Having a 5 ton AC we needed a high output generator. We decided to put a Micro Air soft start on the AC which dropped the inrush amps to 32. Having the AC, refrigerator and freezer running is not going to overload this generator and still allow extras to be run when needed. We are going to get a separate generator for the well and garage and Westinghouse will be on our list to look at again. We think the right decision has been made using a portable generator to power our home and making that generator a Westinghouse. Simple to service and just run it once a month to exercise the systems and she'll be ready when we need her.

Great Power

Pros- Easy Assembly out of box; Everything needed to start and test generator out of box; tested perfect on propane, dual fuel is a massive plus; easy to move around and great construction; quiet operation for the amount of power generated Cons- Only issue was having to figure out how much oil the generator needed, most engines will state how many quarts are needed for operation.

Great Generator

This generator has a lot of great features and is surprisingly compact and easy to maneuver. It started right up and was ready to power items via the three-pronged outlets. We have hired an electrician to wire it into our house for home backup and cannot wait to see how it performs. Be sure to have extra oil ready when it gets delivered- the oil provided with the unit is nowhere near enough to fill the generator.

Easy setup, Great machine.

Bought last January after a power outage. Just set it up for an expected winter storm since you can't trust the grid around here in cold weather. Works great. Very easy setup. Would definitely recommend to others. There is probably nothing that it can't handle. Thanks, Westinghouse!

Easy setup and runs great

Just purchased this for power outages. Setup was easy. Electric start worked like a champ, tried to start 3 times on propane then it fired right up. Very happy with this purchase,piece of mind I'll have it if I need it. Dual fuel flexibility is also an awesome perk

Great portable generator

Bought this dual fuel generator and put together within 10 minutes! Tested with propane tank and worked flawlessly! Tested with car vacuum and powered up great! Bought this based on all the great reviews and now I see why. Easy to transport with the wheels.

Easy to assemble

Directions were clear, easy to assemble. Filled the fluids and it started right up. I haven't had to use it to run the house yet, but my friend is an electrician and said it should be fine, size-wise, to run my small house when the power's out. So far, so good!
