Second Westinghouse dual fuel generator

I have had a Westinghouse generator for over 4 years for my home in West Virginia. It has had limited use and has worked perfectly when needed. Since moving to Florida permanently and upgrading my electrical system and installing a generator interlock system I decided to buy an additional generator. The Westinghouse generator is an excellent choice. The 9500 watts is more the needed to run my home in case of a power outage. It was shipped directly to my home and started the first try. I have already hooked it up and tested it to my electrical system, it worked with no problems. Every thing needed except fuel and power cord comes with the generator and is easy to set up. I highly recommended.

Fantastic

Assembly is only putting on the wheels and two footings, connecting the battery wire connector and the spark plug wire. All very easy. Remote is pre-programmed. Started with remote on 1st attempt after adding the oil and fuel. I installed a 50A double-pole breaker in the home electrical panel, a 50A outlet near it and connected the outlet to the 50A breaker. All I have to do is turn off the main home panel power supply breaker, have on only the home panel breakers I need, which for me is the whole 1850 sqft all-electric house, then flip on the 50A breaker, plug in the 50A cable to the generator and the 50A outlet, then start the generator. I now can sleep soundly and not worry about a loss of power. Delivery was one (1) week late, but the refund compensation given for the delay was great.

All around satisfaction

While I’ve not had it long enough to make a thorough evaluation I’m more than pleased with the features and ease of setup. I’ve only just completed installing and haven’t had a load on it yet I’m sure it’ll be just as good as a smaller Westinghouse generator that I own

Unit is solid and seems well built. Purchased for a food trailer build. It is pretty loud and does not idle down when load drops off, and it stays running at full speed even if nothing is plugged into it. Time will tell if this is a good or bad thing. On a job site where noise isn’t the main issue, this should be a beast, if used for power loss at home and you have neighbors, they may not like the noise unless you help with their power issues lol. It has a hookup for automatic power switching for house backup power which is a plus; now for the engineering dept to make it quieter. Not sure how it will be with a food trailer, may have to get a 50’ power cord. The key fob start is definitely a plus and works great (still has an onboard start button and pull start). Have not tried the propane fuel side yet, so no comment to that. The onboard meter if a nice touch, it gives you volts , hz, and run time, at push on the button. Plenty of options in the power outlet department for your needs, whether it’s 50 amp 240 volt, 30 amp 120/240 volt, and two 20 amp 120 volt gfi protected outlets. Engine oil is easy and convenient to fill and has a nice funnel that make it that much easier. Draining the oil should be just as easy and mess free if planned out with a shallow pan that will hold more than 1.16 quarts. The gas tank fill is big and easy to hit and the flame arrester in the inlet doesn’t make you slow down you fill up because of splashing.

Westinghouse Generator

Unit arrived a few days early than estimated. Packing was excellent, no damage at all. Easy to assemble, careful, weighs 220 lbs. Followed the directions, put in gas and oil, turned the battery on and it started up right away, surprised the battery had any charge in it, ran for about 5 minutes. Charged the battery for about 6 hours, ran for another 5 minutes, all is well. Am very pleased with this generator, a lot of bang for the buck, highly recommend it!

Best Value out there!

Did a lot of research and for the money you won't find a better deal on a generator with this power output. Even checked on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, nothing beat it. A great generator that will power everything in the house, or one AC and a few other items. I also thought the remote start was a throw away gimmick, but it is a nice little addition. Quality Generator.

Not the best start but there is still hope

The first one we received was damaged and it took some time to get a replacement. Unfortunately I had to email multiple times the manufacturer to get this moving. The replacement then lost the lock for the handle with the first usage. Hope it will work when the first snowstorm comes.

Solid purchase

Purchased this generator as a critical circuit backup for my home. It was delivered to my home in good condition. I was impressed by the minimal assembly required and the clear instructions. I installed the wheels, connected the battery and filled the oil to the correct level using the oil supplied. The included funnel made this much easier. The generator started immediately on propane which is my preferred fuel. I ran it for 10 minutes and ran a grinder briefly. I am quite happy with my purchase so far.

Westinghouse 9500DF

Very impressed with this generator. Shipping box was not damaged. Followed the directions put in oil, connected propane tank and generator started right up. I’m still not done with the 5 hour break in period. So far I’m very happy with this purchase.

Great generator but manufacturing defect

I like the generator and how easy it is to start. However it has a manufacturing defect causing it to leak gas continuously. Westinghouse’s customer service is pretty poor. Sam’s club is great and they will exchange but the generator is out of stock with no idea when, if ever, it will be back in stock
