Haven't had a chance to use it yet. It was packaged well, seems very sturdy and a quality build. I bought it more for peace of mind during a power outage, so really not sure when I'll be taking it for it's first spin, but I feel pretty confident in it when that time comes.

Ordered on Sunday received on Tuesday. Just in time for hurricane Idalia on wed. I did all the prep work on Tuesday and ran it for an hour with no load. We lost power for 24 hours and this thing ran like a champ. 12 hours on a tank of gas. The manual was one of the best I have seen. It even comes with a parts breakdown manual. Just get one you won't be disappointed. Next step is to set it up for whole house.

Arrived with damaged packaging and dents to control panel and generator cover on end. Removed cover inspected for damage to wires and repaired cover Added oil and fresh gas to generator. Opened gas valve, several attempts to start were unsuccessful. Started up after a shot of starting fluid and ran without any problems for 1 hour. Shut down and changed oil for rest of break in period. Packaging could be much better, will update after rest of break in and if I receive the generator cover as advertised in the paper work included with product for doing this review.

After two power outages in only a couple of months time, we knew it was time to invest in a generator. We did lots of research and felt the Westinghouse dual fuel at this price was the best option for us. Looks to be built well - love the remote! Not that I'm hoping for a power outage, but can't wait to use for the next emergency.

The item is heavy and I do recommend to have two people to work on assembly. The the process to add legs and wheels took about 10 min, it took me another 10 min to add oil and connect propane tank. I also charge battery for another 10 min, but it wasn't necessary - in 30 min I had my generator up in running. Also, I was pleasantly surprised how compact the item for the power its generate.

Truly great looking unit. Controls are easy to find and are very intuitive to use. The manuals are very easy to understand and follow. The dual fuel capability is a big plus, especially when one fuel might only be available in very limited supply. Very happy with purchase so far. Looking forward to many years of service from this generator.

I like the dual fuel capability. I use this generator once a year in a remote cabin site in Wyoming, so the dual fuel option is a plus. It provides plenty of power for the daytime projects as well as maintaining our solar battery bank when its needed. I haven't used it extensively yet note the 4-star rating.

I live on an island on the coast of Maine with the incumbent power failures, and purchased the Westinghouse 9500 DF about six months ago (99 hours of use) to replace my PowerStroke 6000 which is eight years old, still runs great, but wasn't quite powerful enough to carry my whole house electrical system, and was getting older. This Westinghouse has been nothing but a disappointment. It constantly ”revs”, blinking the house lights when it has very little load. It shuts off on its own whim, sometimes starts and sometimes doesn't. I've had all types of problems, both on traditional gas and using propane with it.(dual fuel) It seems to have no more power than my older 6000, despite claims that it's much more powerful. In general, I use my much older smaller generator as my primary and only use this Westinghouse as a back up because I can never tell if it's gonna run correctly. I've learned my lesson on buying this manufactures products. It won't happen again.

I am still in the process of getting this set up for use on my house but still able to use it for any other situations like power tools, camper, and ice fishing. The dual fuel option is probably my favorite part so far because I have multiple options to power the generator. Easy to put together, so easy in fact I was working with my 4 year old son.

Ease of setup This generator is easy to setup and maintain. I especially like the remote control and the dual fuel option. I had my electrician setup a manual transfer switch. I haven't needed to use it yet but the initial setup and test with a propane tank worked like a charm.
