I bought this unit today, brought it home, unpacked and assembled the wheels and supports, filled it with oil, hooked up the propane, and the engine started right up. I am very happy with the documentation and instructions. I only plan on using this gen in emergencies, but I live in Florida, so odds are it will get used.

Replacing a different brand pull start generator. wanted an electric start model, but they were too expensive at the time. I think this will work nicely with the amount of power it has to run more appliances in case of power outage. I live near the east coast, so we do get hurricanes quite a bit. Gives us a better level of readiness that we can keep fridge/freezer and other electrical items running.

We just bought this generator. We haven't used it yet, but the size, weight and features are perfect for our use. We bought it for back-up power for our 5th wheel trailer. We feel much more at ease traveling knowing we have power when needed. It seems well built and good quality.

I just purchased the Wgen9500DFc this month and I haven't had a chance to operate it since I purchased it for power outages. However, with hurricane starting to move into high speed I'm sure it won't be long. Set up was extremely easy and it fired right up with no issue. I ran about a gallon of gas at start up and I was surprised at how quite the generator was while in operation. I'm looking forward to lights and cool beverages this hurricane season. B.

We bought this generator after a major hurricane. Our neighbors have one and it runs their entire house. We jumped on board and bought one ourselves because we have a well and need electricity to get running water. It was very easy to put on the legs and wheels and to start up for the first time. We love it because it is a duel fuel and sometimes it’s really had to find gas so the option for propane as backup is great. I really like how it has a remote start and push to start so we don’t have to go out and mess with it in the rain.

The Westinghouse WGen9500DF is a generator you’ll love to own! Shipped quickly after placing order. Very easy setup, with great instructions. We like that is has the option of using gas or can use propane. Very sturdy, made very well. We set it up, and started right after receiving with no problems at all!

After purchase I put in oil, connected propane, paired key fob and started it. Fired fight up with no "priming" like with a Onan. Applied a load and everything worked perfectly. Now I feel more prepared for the bad weather in Mississippi that results in power failures.

I bought this generator for backup during power outages. Arrived in good condition. Set up was easy. Unit looks well designed with all parts easy to identify and access. Started well and produced power for test. Very simple to start and run. Only glitch was on electric start. Directions indicated wires needed to be hooked to battery post, but they already were when I unpacked. It wouldn't start though. What it actually needed was to have the two ends of a connector in between the battery and the starter plugged together. Once I figured that out, the connector was easy to access and push the wire leads together. Then electric starter worked perfectly. I really like the automatic choke when using the electric start, since "choking" a small engine can be confusing for some.

When this generator works it is a 5. However, I use it for power outages only and it has only worked once when needed. By just sitting outdoors, with the "Westinghouse" cover, it becomes unusable. The first time I needed it, it was totally dead. Turned out to be a bad control panel [covered under warranty]. It had only been started once, when I received it. After it was repaired, it ran one time in an "as needed event", ran very well, which is why I rate it as a 5 "when working". But needed it recently and once again it is dead [battery @13v]. In the shop again under extended warranty. Generator is not much good if it doesn't work when needed.

I purchased this generator shortly after the Texas' ice storm and plan to use this generator to power the entire house (central AC included) during the hurricane season. Had the interlock installed and was amazed how easily the generator electric starter started up. Above all, it powered the entire house with ease on propane. My first generator and Highly recommended if you are looking for a stand alone generator for the house.
