The generator is powerful enough to be a backup power supply for a house but small enough as portable. It is very simple to put together and it starts very easily using either the remote control or Start button on the unit. One wheel is damaged during the shipping (see pictures); otherwise, it would be a 5 Stars for the Overall Rating from me.

This generator replaced a smaller generator I had for 8 years but suffered catastrophic engine failure. This machine is heavily constructed with a welded all tubular frame, 457 cc duel fuel engine, and 12500 peak watts. The machine came with standard 3/8 propane hookup which I attached my quick connect hose within minutes. A total of 45 minutes to unbox, add oil( comes with 4cycle oil), attach wheels, and hook up battery and propane hose. Once I attached to propane tank I pressed the start button on control panel and on 3rd crank the unit started humming. It is a beautiful machine, solid construction, and generous paperwork for instructions and replacement parts. Nothing was missing from the box nothing damaged. I can't wait for the next power failure.

We bought this because we are in an area frequently affected by blizzards and therefore loose power often. We love that is has the ability to run on gasoline and propane. Having that ability allows us to not have to run out to a gas station during a storm, all I have to do is hook it up to my tank for the grill and i have another 6-7 hrs of run time.

Ran consistently great but started having trouble starting in December and finally would not start in mid January. Covered with warranty, was worked on by approved shop, ended up getting new generator. Very satisfied with purchase especially the dual filter feature.

Purchased to replace a 5500kw generator. the power allows me to run my water heater along with other appliances. Set up took about 20 minutes. What I like about this purchase. Easy setup, very clear directions and maintenance instructions, multiple warning placards to warn you to make sure a step is completed, a small tool set, oil included, well packaged, dual fuel capability. Easy to maneuver once wheels are on. Unit was smaller than I expected, the fold down handle is very comfortable.

Just received the generator. I've been wanting one that would handle all my needs at home. I have never needed one but as I've been getting older, the peace of mind is what i want if the power does go out. I don't plan on putting in fuel or oil until i need it. I will lube it every 6 months per manufacture recommendations. This generator does definitely look likes its well built and will hold up. Very happy with my purchase.

The instructions were clear, and it started easily with the electric battery start. We used the gasoline for testing when connected to house loads through the 50-amp connection. For propane we hooked an extension line from a house-supply tank to the convenient flare connection on the generator. It also ran well with propane.

I bought this for powering tools and well pump for property we are developing for retirement. It will also serve as a standby emergency generator. Two holes for rubber feet had welding slag in the hole when the nuts were attached. I was able to get one bolt through backwards to clear it but the second one had too much so I had to use a smaller bolt, nut and washers through the existing hole. Other than that, it seems great. I’ll use propane nearly all the time I think.

Ordered online and was delivered last week, Only took a week or less to receive it from across the US. Was very impressed that the generator was strapped down on its own pallet and had No Damage from shipping. Looks and feels well built, was easy to setup. I did put a little more oil than what came with it to fill up to the oil stick mark, not a problem for me but it might make the oil level shutoff not start the engine if you don’t check your oil level. Was easy to start after connecting the battery cables, fuel and oil. This should power the majority of our house when the power goes out. I was impressed that when you push the start button on generator it will attempt to start for a few seconds then pause a few seconds and then attempt to start again by itself automatically, this keeps from overheating the starter, smart engineering! Remote start works great also. Was expecting the generator to be louder than it is, not much louder than my 3500 watt, a definite plus! Have already recommended this WGen9500DF to my friends!

I've had a previous portable generator, FYI. This Westinghouse is amazing! The remote/push button start is First Class. The auto choke and repeat "starts" is fantastic! I don't have to pull to start time, and time, and time ever again. Easy to setup and moves around with ease. The Data Center keeps my "run hours" for the routine future maintenance. My electrician set up a transfer switch on the house power panel, so I'm ready for hurricane season or the "every 20 year" South Texas freeze! Thanks Westinghouse, great engineering.
