Did a lot of research to find a replacement for my 20 year old generator. The Westinghouse 9500df is top of the line for a home backup and construction use. Trickle charger for the battery, gas regulator and line, wheels and transport handle, all included in the package.

I was worried after hearing so many problems about damage during shipment. My generator arrived, in a box that was strapped to a pallet. No damage at all. Everything from bolts to oil were well packed inside the box. Our local propane company will be running the line, tomorrow, to connect it directly to our bulk tank. Appreciate the security this represents as we are nearing peak hurricane season

I have not owned this generator for very long, but it seems to run the way it is supposed to. It starts fine and runs on both gas and propane. I have not use the 220 V but I did check it with a voltmeter. The box initially had a dent in the side of it but not a single scratch on the generator.

It was surprisingly easy to maneuver around given its weight. When on gasoline, it was able to simultaneously power all four heating elements on our electric stove. According to our Sense home energy monitor, it was providing about 8500 watts continuously at the time. The energy monitor did report a frequency of around 62.5 Hz, which is slightly higher than the 60 Hz specification. Hopefully there's some way that can be fine tuned.

Bought it as a backup generator so I haven't used it yet other than testing it. I am a tech for a propane company and have seen a lot of propane engines. We use them for compressors. This is the easiest starting, smoothest running propane engine I have used yet other than a larger permanent gens. The only negative thing I can say is that the propane hose is short and that the regulator was set at 17.2 inches water column. Normally 14 inches is a max. This unit is also louder than I expected but not terrible.

We have tested this generator several times and it has run wonderfully every time using both gasoline and propane. It is very robust and powerful. Starts quickly and includes an excellent user manual. Labeling on the unit itself could be improved slightly. I put my own label on the small silver gasoline switch that is located on the side and not included with the operating panel. I also labeled the propane inlet port. A wattage meter is desperately needed to determine load. It does have a voltage meter, but wattage would be so much better.

Ordering anything online that needs to be delivered is always a gamble when it comes to receiving the product fully intact and undamaged. I was very pleased in this case, the generator was delivered without any damages. The high quality of the generator is quite evident. The packaged accessories included with the generator made assembly very easy. The Manual had all of the information I needed to feel comfortable operating this unit. Would definitely recommend this generator based on my unboxing experience today. The remote control is an added bonus!

Installed the wheels, added engine 0il, connected the LP hose and tank, and hit the start button. Fired up perfectly right out of the box-the battery was even fully charged! This is a very well thought out generator, which was delivered even with a battery tender that I was not expecting, but would have bought on my own, for a standby generator. Well done , Westinghouse!!!

After reading the reviews, I purchased the Generator Wgen9500DF with a watchful eye on delivery that I was getting the right Model and no damage to shipping box. Everything was a go when the guys pulled from truck. We unpacked the unit, read through the instructions and had the Generator running in just under 30 minutes. In another 30 minutes we ran test on house hookup, two thumbs ups. Haven't had a need for supplemental power yet, but the unit is in place and ready to go when we do.

This product performed exceptionally during our last power outage that lasted 8 days, saved the day and a lot of food. We were glad to have the dual fuel capabilities as we needed to use both. Getting up and running was easy with the clear and concise instructions.
