We bought this generator after the largest snow storm in several years hit Virginia stranding motorists and knocking out power for over 250,000 people for 5+ days. We were lucky this time and we were only without power for 17-hours. After things cleared we researched the best option for our future needs. After reading several recent reviews and viewing available options we decided on the 9500DF. We were sold on its ample capabilities and the reliability of the Westinghouse brands. Now my family and I are confident that we'll have power when the next storm knocks out the power!

I researched the heck out of buying a replacement generator to power my well pump and water heater along with a few other choice circuits. This was by far the lowest price, highest watt, dual-fuel generator out there. So far I have only tested it and changed the oil as we have not had any power outages yet. The only two issues so far is Westinghouse (due to liability, I'm sure) won't give me a straight answer on how to hook this up to a 100 lb propane tank. They keep referring me to a licensed plumber. And, the fuel gauge hasn't worked from day one but one call the tech support and a replacement is supposed to be on the way! Very happy so far!

I needed a generator big enough to run my home in an outage. My generators were small, plus 200 ft. of drop cords, it was a lot of work. This generator works perfect. I purchased a 25 ft. power cord and transfer plug. It is stored in a storage shed about 20 ft from my panel. I just plug in and crank. No work at all. Generator is not too loud, and it is outside my home. I love it. All i need now is a cover to keep it clean when not in use.

We recently purchased this generator after our old generator was struggling during a 3 day power outage after the last Houston hurricane. After receiving it, it was easy to assemble and started right up when hooking up to propane. It looks very high quality and gives us added comfort that we will be better off when the next power outage comes our way.

My wife and I are both in our mid 70's and each year find it more difficult to deal with our power outages which can range from hours to days. We trusted Rinker Inc of Lake Ariel, PA to recommend the generator that would best meet our needs and installation and training took place this past Tuesday. Ironically, our power went out on Monday for ~ 3 hrs. We feel confident that all will go well when we need to use it.

Bought through Lowes as a manually switched backup generator for our cabin. This unit had awesome reviews! Unit came with everything needed to startup and was a breeze to get running. Love the remote start feature! Am excited to use it for this winter.

Bought this as a whole home backup. Got the Tri-Fuel so that I will hook it up to the house natural gas line. I will purchase a 100lb propane tank as another option to run the generatot. Set up was easy. The only additional thing I needed to do was put the Carbon canistor back in place because it wasn't secured on the brackets due to shipping most likely. It came with the Natural gas and propane hoses which is a great bonus. I love that it has a remote start and a battery charger to have the battery ready when I need to run it. Get yourself a Westinghouse generator if you need one. You won't regret it

brought this unit roughly 1 month ago.wanted a dual fuel to avoid gas lines. this unit started up 1st time right out of the box.the price was right,other manufacturers price was more than double.easy hook up to gas or propane.plenty of power to supply full power to my house

Our house is total electric so a standby generator is a must when living in the Midwest. Having dual fuel is an added bonus. Just received this yesterday, started right up after I turned on the fuel valve. Pleasant surprise when it retried to start automatically. I give this a solid 5 stars.

I took delivery yesterday. It was mostly assembled only requiring the mounting feet and wheels be installed. One of the mounting feet nuts is missing from the frame, so I will have to pick one up to complete that install. The wheels are well built and easy to install by use of a axle pin, washer, and cotter pin. I plugged in the battery charger and connected the battery. The manual says it ships charged and by the time I added the quart of oil, the battery charge light had changed from red to green. I connected my propane bottle to the regulator and used the remote for the first start. It took about 7 seconds of cranking to purge the propane line and start. I loaded the generator lightly by adding a 500W halogen light, a box fan, and a pancake air compressor. Don't forget to reset the GFCI plugs! I removed the loads after 10 minutes and allowed it to run unloaded for a few minutes and used the remote to stop the engine. I then restarted the engine using the pushbutton on the console. The engine started within 3 seconds. It takes a few seconds for the start button to illuminate solid and the dater center do turn on and display the voltage. You can then toggle through the displays. As other reviews have stated, this generator is quieter than others. It is comparable, but slightly louder than the the popular RV generators and certainly quieter than most portable generators. Delivery was fast with great updates and phone calls to ensure I was ready for the driver. It arrived a week earlier than originally promised. 15 to 20 minutes to set up an connect the propane and have it running is great. I am pleased so far with this selection.
