My wife and I decided it was time to purchase a generator because of the frequent power outages after storms in Northern California. It is becoming common to lose power for 2-5 days after each storm event. This was starting to become a real hassle and headache, not to mention the loss of food in the refrigerators and freezers. With this generator, we should be able to run most of the appliances, lights, and furnace until the power is restored. The generator came almost ready to power up. All I needed to do was install the wheels and the front mounting feet. All super easy and the tools were included. Next, I need to add the oil, which was also included, then I connected the battery terminals and fired her up. The electric start made it super simple to start, and my wife really appreciated not having to pull the starting cord. We ran it on propane during the start up period, which we did for five hours, because we didn't want it sitting for extended periods of time with gasoline in the tank. We also changed the oil twice during the start up period just to make sure we kept the oil clean during this period. Hopefully we will never need to use it, but it feels great knowing that we have a backup power source in case of emergencies. That piece of mind is worth the cost of the generator!

Everything seems to be high quality, down to the bearings in the wheels, easy assembly and good instructions, it started right up and ran very good. I broke it in as per instructions and so far I am very impressed with the generator. So far very well pleased.

I live in Central Florida and I have been thinking about having a whole house generator fo several years. We have experience a few power outages due to hurricanes over the last two decades and it is very inconvenient to deal with for several days to a week. I purchased the Westinghouse Dual Fuel 9500 watt generator because it is powerful to run all of my key systems with the versatility of using gasoline or propane. Both are in short supply during a storm so the more options the better. I also liked the fact that it was a 50 amp generator with electric start. I just had a 10 circuit transfer circuit and an inlet plug outside to allow me to power my home without running extension cords. I ran a test when everything was completed and the 9500 started. I flipped on all circuits and the 9500 handled everything I threw at it. It was able to power 2 refrigerators, Hot water heater and water pump with no problem. The Generator did not bog down even when every thing was on including wall air conditioners, lights and fans. I cannot comment on how it will preform during a storm since we haven't had on yet. I am interested to see how many hours it will run on a tank of propane. I have purchased some larger tanks and have them filled and stored. I would like to be able to last 3-4 days without having to go out and search for fuel. So far, I am extrmely happy with this purchase. This Generator is well made, powerful and not very loud.

My generator arrived in perfect condition and it was an easy step by step assembly with product literature that was well written and good photo illustrations. It is just what I needed building an off grid cabin on our lake property. We powered our RV with the 50 amp outlet by night and power tools by day. I would recommend this generator to a friend

I am reviewing this after 1 day. Easily put together and get ready. Worked great. Honestly, I do feel like Westinghouse cares that you ge the product started right. They included all the tools you need and all the oil you needed for this unit to be operational. Just supply the fuel. At the end of the day, it ran great. Easy to hse

I love the fact that you can run it with propane. I just bought it assembled it, added the enclosed oil, hooked it up to a propane tank and it fired right up. I just bought a house in an area were the power goes out often, This will fill the bill for those emergencies.

I chose this generator after looking for something that would run my house AC unit as my community was affected by a tornado and we lost power. I was not disappointed at all with its performance and am confident that it will work just as well for me in the future.

It only took ten minutes or so to do the minor amount of assembly needed (putting on the wheels), and filling it with oil. That's it, and it's ready to run, right out of the box. This is a solid, well-made machine. Every detail is well thought out. Got it delivered yesterday, and plan to do the break-in procedure today, and expect it to serve our family well for many years.

4 stars because I just bought it and haven't had to put it to a real test yet but it looks like it is made well. First thing, I filled it with oil and connected a propane tank. It started with just a push of the button and ran smooth. I plugged in a toaster oven and it worked as expected. I'm happy with it so far.

I don't have a lot of hours on this generator--I have just tested it and used it minimally for the break in process. It appears to be well built and easy to start--with both the electric and pull cord. It is noisy as expected, but not as bad as others I've seen that were smaller.
