Quality Product at a Fair price

After reveiwing other generators and reading consumer product reviews we decided this was the generator to purchase. Features appear top notch and the dual fuel option is a plus. Westinghouse is a name I trust. Consumer reviews, of which their were many, were highly favorable.

Already had a power outage!

We received our Dual Fuel 9500 in early April. Started it up, ran it through it's paces on both gas and propane. Everything worked fine. Ran the carburetor out of gas, and put it away. About a week later, the power went out at 3am. Went out, plugged the generator into the house and turned it on. It ran for 6.5 hours with no problems. The power came back on around 10:30am. I unplugged the generator from the house, ran the carburetor out of gas and put it back in storage. I am very please with it's performance during this first outage. I have worked on generators and I am very please with this product.

Easy set up Great features

I bought this about a month ago. My brother-in-law recommended this model generator to protect our house during storm outages. The set up with simple and the dual fuel capacity is what I was looking for. Running this on Propane significantly increases the generator life and reliability

Nice design with great features

This generator provides a lot of great features including dual fuel capability (gasoline & propane), remote start with FOB, battery charger, push button start, steel gas tank, 20/30/50 amp outlets with breaker, smart switch ready, solid wheels , flip up handle and has the Westinghouse brand name attached to it! The Westinghouse name has been around for a long time so it provides some peace of mind knowing they can build a great generator. The 9500 watt capacity can power a lot of tools, household items or act as a home backup power supply. I've already recommended this unit to others based on its quality. It comes with everything you need to get started including oil and a funnel to fill the crankcase...just add gas or propane and your ready to make power.

Quiet by comparison

Living in the campfire burn scar of Paradise Ca. We have had our power shut down frequently by PG&E we purchased this generator to replace one that was starting to give us problems and was not quite large enough. We purchased the WGen12000DF which is twice the size of the previous generator this thing will run our entire house without any hesitation. Major bonus points this thing is so much quieter and far more fuel efficient, so far I can not say enough good things about this thing

Extremely well built and solid

Honestly just bought this and am leaving this review now because while I’m registering the warranty it was an opportunity to get a free cover if I leave a review. Hopefully later after I’ve tried it out and used it awhile I can do a follow up. But so far I love it. Very well made and heavy, which to me means solid and substantial, what I think a heavy duty generator should be. Very pleased so far!

Easy!

After delivery, my husband was thrilled that he was able to figure how to make this work! He thought the directions were concise and easy to understand. He is happy that the noise level of this generator seems to be quieter than both of our neighbors generators! He is both pleased and satisfied!

Appears to be a good unit, time will tell.

A review would be more appropriate after it’s tested for a long period. However, the generator seems like a decent build for the cost and loaded with features including, 50 amp hookup, battery quick connect for a battery conditioner, carb bowl has easy access to drain, remote, meter to track hours for service, dual fuel and a 3 year parts warranty (supposedly). From an initial standpoint, it appears to be far superior than a HF Predator Brand. Mine is made in Vietnam, which in my experience is typically better than China. Only time will tell. Now I understand why Westinghouse generators have so many more reviews than competitors. They offer a free gift (cover) if you leave a review. This leads me to think that the majority of the reviews are not from long-term use, but only when it is new.

It's got everything I need!

I bought this product about three weeks ago and assembly was quick and easy. I really like the idea that it runs on gas or propane. It started on the first try. I haven't tested it yet on my house loads as I am waiting on the arrival of additional equipment to use with this. Will update when the other equipment arrives.

Portable Generator - Dual Fuel

I haven't used it yet but I'm prepared for this years hurricane. There are a couple of things that I'm excited about on this generator. First, It's a push button start or key fob. As a back up it does have the manual pull start. That I hope that I never have to use .At my age, pull start is just to difficult. Second, is that it is dual fuel. I love that fact that it runs of propane. That makes storing it so much easier not having to drain gasoline out of it. The instruction manual is very detailed. This is my first portable generator. I feel confident that I can run it properly.
