Great Generator! Great Value for the money!

This generator is chock full of features-including a trickle charger, ability to run on propane or gasoline, has 30 and 50 amp outlets, auto chock, remote start and more. Plus, in my opinion, it is much quieter than my previous portable generator. My electrician installed an manual interlock system and we tested it out. Started my central air-28,500 BTUs with now problem. Also, started and ran my 50 gal. water heater with AC running-though he didn't recommend doing that due to energy usage concerns. He was very impressed with this generator's handling as we put it thru it's "paces" in turning breakers on and off. I hope I don't have to use it for a power outage, but I'm in Florida and this is supposed to be a really active hurricane season...so I have the peace of mind of knowing that I'm prepared- kind of like an insurance policy I hope Also, I have read about how hard it is to connect the 50amp cord to the outlet on the generator due to its proximity to the top of the wheel. Yes, I did need to use a little effort to get the cord to bend enough at the top of the wheel to allow for me to plug it in properly but I don't feel it took that much effort but I know it could be different for others. The one thing I am concerned about is that it's not supposed to be used in the rain. I wish that Westinghouse had an inexpensive way of housing the generator outside to protect it from the elements. However, I may have found a solution on YouTube for a DIY shelter...so we'll see. Regardless, my first impression, and I will only use the propane, is that this is a really substantial generator.

Everything we need and more

I did extensive research on portable dual fuel generators as we live in the desert southwest and during monsoon storms lose power quite frequently at the hottest time of the year and need a dependable generator. At first we thought about a whole house gen set until we talked with people that have them and have had nothing but problems and were considering purchasing portable units. After much deliberation we settled on the Westinghouse 9500DF. We already had a receptacle installed and the house wired for 50 amps with an interlock on the breaker panel. Having a 5 ton AC we needed a high output generator. We decided to put a Micro Air soft start on the AC which dropped the inrush amps to 32. Having the AC, refrigerator and freezer running is not going to overload this generator and still allow extras to be run when needed. We are going to get a separate generator for the well and garage and Westinghouse will be on our list to look at again. We think the right decision has been made using a portable generator to power our home and making that generator a Westinghouse. Simple to service and just run it once a month to exercise the systems and she'll be ready when we need her.

Great whole house Generator

I bought this during a bad winter storm. We had just lost power for the second time during this storm. And was worried we may not see power for 3-4 days. I already had an existing 50 amp circuit on the outside of the house, so we utilized that with this generator. Although I currently have issues, customer service has been a rockstar in helping me get through the diagnosis. They are even sending me the parts to fix it, since I'm afraid to send it to the local repair facility during all these storms we are having. This unit has a Three year warranty which is very nice to have since some other generators only have a 1 yr warranty. Best part about his generator is, being able to start it and shut it off from the luxury of my own bed via remote control. Only downside is a 20lb propane tank will only run 3-4 hours because of the cold temperatures we are having. (Propane tank freezes) Recommend at least a 120 gallon pup tank in winter time. A Full gas tank gets me about 10 - 11 hrs of average run time, in my situation.

Awesome Generator so far!

Just purchased the WGen9500DF duel fuel geni. Set-up was a breeze. Uber clear instructions and all necessary parts were included & nicely packaged. Started up immediately and runs relatively quietly. Will be testing it out via a mock power outage this weekend!

Excellent in every way

Just purchased it and love it. Using with a propane connection and remote electric start. I love the fact that you don't need to worry about storing old gasoline while it sits in the garage waiting to be used for the next storm outage. The remote start is great and with automatic choke too. The overall appearance is very solid. Nice design.

Great Generator

Generator was delivered in 2 days, packaging was very good. Was easy to put together and started right up. I tested with gas and propane, switching on the fly and unit worked flawless. I like the all the outlet options on this unit and will use the 50a to tie into my breaker box. This unit is well built and I have high expectations for great service from this generator. Three year warranty is a nice bonus.

Great Features

Bought this less than little over a month ago, Love all the features. after going 5 days without any power. I think this generator will power up our home needs sufficiently. After discussing with friends which have the same type of generator this will definit come in handy. After having gone thru the break-in period, in which when powered up , engine sounded very strong and reliable

Works great: dual fuel is the way to go!!!

I bought this in October of 2020 just in time for a three day power outage. It was easy to setup and after connecting to a 100lb propane tank it started right up. I only plan to use propane to keep the carb from gumming up plus propane doesn't go bad like gas. After the initial setup we used the remote start from inside the house. Works like a charm!!! Our house is all electric. The generator had no problem running the well pump, hot water heater, microwave, washer, and dryer. We didn't run these all the circuits at once. You better go out and buy one of these. Your wife will thank you.

so far so good! arrived in excellent condition

Arrived in excellent condition. Using as a whole home backup generator to back up 3600sf, but I also plan to use it for power tools around the yard. I Have not used it yet because I have not had a dry day yet to start it and try it out and I am waiting on my electrician to install my outlet and interlock next week. I will update after install. My only concern is this generator is BONDED NEUTRAL, which basically means to me that I have to use It for one or the other without modifying the generator which is a concept I am still trying to get my head around since most generators advertise I can use it for both safely. I have to see how the install will go being that i will be using it for both purposes.

Excellent Choice

I Chose this Brand and Model because of its features: (Capacity, Fuel options, and convenience). Got it professional installed and tested right out of the box. - Flawless ignition/start. - Tested full home powered (A/C, Fridge, plenty of lights, WiFi, computers) Plan not to use Microwave, Dryer, or toaster oven) So Far very happy with purchase. Peace of Mind. Feel prepared for electrical outages. Already recommended to a friend who also purchased it.
