I bought the 9500 last year, but had an easy storm season, so I never took it out of the box. Henri' was heading our way, so my son and I opened the box and set it all up; it started on the spot! I couldn't find info. on how much oil it held, (1 quart), and that was the biggest hassle of putting it together; pouring ever so slowly and checking what felt like every ounce 'til it was filled! The remote start works around corners, YAY! Now I'm on a roll and are planning to install a generator interlock into our breaker box. This is all a response to Sandy; 2 weeks; never again. My heart always goes out to the southern states who always take the brunt of the yearly, hurricane seasons. Stay strong!

Was delighted to find all the tools I needed to put it together and a full liter of oil to boot! Instructions clear. Minor unknowns in the booklet cleared up quickly with the toll free help line. It is a large and heavy unit but moves relatively easily with handle and provided wheels. Started up first try with full power. I also purchased a 30 amp 4 pronged 25 foot cord with four twenty amp outlets. Both unit and cord worth the purchase. I appreciate the dual fuels with cleaner burning propane more easily stored and without the need of fuel stabilizers to counteract long storage of current gasoline products.

I would probably give this five stars if I had had opportunities to use it yet. I just had my electrician hook up my generator to the power outlets as required. I am thrilled to know that when a power outage occurs I can easily roll my generator outside, away from my home, using the attached handled cart. It also gives me peace of mind to know that there is an electric start or key fob available when time comes to start the generator. A trusted name I grew up with, Westinghouse, is another comfort for me in making this purchase. Living in the Northeast makes me sure that when Old Man Winter comes my way, I will be ready with my new Westinghouse portable generator! Ladies, if I can do this, you can too.

I bought this model based on the number of positive reviews. I'm happy to add another! Super-easy unpacking and set up. After the electrician installed a panel switch, we connected a propane tank and hit the START button on the remote starter. The generator fired up immediately. There's enough output to power HVAC, two refrigerators, and enough lights and outlets to keep my family comfortable, out of the dark, and carrying on normal life functions in an emergency. Perfect solution and much less expensive than installed generators that are extremely costly and require annual maintenance.

Just received this model yesterday (Wgen9500DFc) and read through the manual, start up procedures, etc. Followed through today with assembly and first start up with propane. Everything went so smooth. Very solid, no vibrations. Very impressed and satisfied with this purchase.

Just got my transfer switch wired up to the house and gave it a test run. Powers everything as a home backup that I need it to. Probably can run central AC but don’t think it’s wise to. Instead have a couple portable AC units to move about the house. Besides that it handles the water heater and appliances like a champ. Not super quiet but got a 40’ long 50 amp cable to move it far from the house. Well done Westinghouse. Killer price point.

I needed a new generator to replace an old one I have that no longer works, I've been comparing different brands for several months and chose this Westinghouse 9500 DF Dual Fuel with a remote start. It has the features that I feel that I'll need when another hurricane hits or a rolling power outage. It is well made, easy to operate, accessing the air filter is easy. It comes with a remote switch and a battery charger, switching from gasoline to propane is very easy it also comes with hose to connect to the propane tank.

This is a great dual fuel generator with all the features you can need with remote start, two plug transfer switch, and more. The included manual that explains how to change bonded neutral is good for those that know what that is. All at decent price.

We got this generator to power our home in case of storms and/or blackouts. Not much faith in our depleting grid. This is at least peace of mind. Overall great machine with great features. Assembly was pretty quick, install wheels and supplied oil. Gas it up and connect the battery. Started right up no issues. Haven't got the wiring ready on the house yet but I'm sure this machine will be just fine. And the dual fuel option is pretty awesome too.

I needed a portable generator to provide both backup power for my home and enough power to run my welder in remote locations. It comes complete with gas and propane fuel capability, and all the necessary hoses and regulators. Assembly was much easier than expected and the instructions are well written. This model not only has push-button battery electric stat, but it also has a key fob remote control. The included oil is the exact amount needed to fill the crankcase to the proper level. It started immediately after filling with gasoline. It's not a super-quiet, but it's a lot quieter than my current 3500W generator. The power outlets provide both 110 volt and 220 volt options. I was surprised to see that it's made in Vietnam, not China.
