I purchased this generator as an emergency back up just in case we ever loose power. When it arrived, I un boxed it and was immediately impressed with the quality of its construction and the fit and finish of the machine. It took about 30 minutes to get it put together, filled with oil, and connected to a propane tank. When everything was ready, I hit the button on the remote start and the generator lit right up and functioned flawlessly. Overall, I am impressed with this unit.

I added oil then fuel, connected the battery and it started right up. While I was doing that, an electrician was installing the plug in and wired in to my electric box. After that was complete, he showed me which breakers to turn on/off. Did a test run. It powered the entire house, HVAC, frig, freezer, well pump and lights. I did not try to run the dryer or stove at the same time as everything else.

Just got the 9500DF this week. So easy to set up and instruction are easy to read and on target. Self charging battery (when unit is running) along with a trickle charger are nice features I did not expect but are included with this model. Unit started right up and runs quieter than the generators my neighbors have. The fold away handle makes the unit relatively easy to maneuver to where you want it. Will be able to power my entire house with this unit.

I like all of the features, the dual fuel is great and having it be electric start saves energy. And with the remote start key fob i don't even have to leave the house to start it. It runs great, and puts off all the power i need. Westinghouse is an amazing generator!

We just moved to Northern Michigan from a town that rarely had power issues. We have been here 2 months, and already have had 2 outages. As I'm writing this review, the generator is running EVERYTHING. I'm so glad I have this right now, new neighbors are stopping by, and wondering why my house is the only 1 lit up.

Super easy setup- wheels, small rubber feet, add oil - make sure you add enough !!! again - make sure you add enough oil !!, add some gas - not a lot if you are just testing it out -- read the quick start guide -- connect the " quick connect" battery cable --hit the remote START button - Generator has an automatic choke ( as long as the included battery has a charge ) -- generator will fire right up. allways keep the running generator away from the house, windows, doors.

After attaching the rubber stand offs and the wheels I put in the supplied oil. Had to add a little more from another bottle as the supplied bottle didn't quite fill all the way. Pulled down the wiring for the battery and connected it. Added a few gallons of gas and it fired up almost immediately. Seems to work great so far. Nice to have a backup power source for those power interruptions.

Just got this generator going yesterday and it was Awesome !! Just push a button and it's off and running. Did a test run and it powered my whole house 1000 sq ft including central air. We did turn off the hot water heater since that requires a lot of power and is non essential in my opinion.

Bought 1 yr ago. Runs great. Powered everything in the house I needed. Both times used in the middle of Winter, once for about an hour and second time for about 12 hours. Connected to the 500 gallon propane tank with propane accessories, I don't worry about running out of fuel in the middle of the night like a gas only generator would.

load calcuation for home was well within 9500 watt capasity. was advised to size generator a few thousand watts above calcuated average use. 50 amp transfer panel accommodated well, dryer, water heater and required lights and outlets. performed well with initial trial.
