I had done a couple of low load cycles previously and a hurricane came last week. Lost power at 2 am Monday, it was out until 4 pm Thursday. The generator ran one of my central AC units, fridges, tv and freezer with no trouble. I just had to keep finding more propane.

I live in South Florida and wanted something large enough to power my central AC, fridge etc during hurricane season. Last year I had an electrician install a 50A outlet outside so I could just connect the generator to that one outlet and power the whole house. It was astonishing to me how may generators of this size only offer 30A and not 50A outlets. That is what ultimately led me to this model. I bought it back in Oct, but that was the end of hurricane season, so it sat in my garage unboxed until today because I’ve had so many other pressing home projects. This weekend was project free so figured I better inbox this and make sure it runs. The set up was super easy, tip to it side, connect feet and wheels, add oil (which is provided in the box), add gas, connect battery, turn fuel Valve to on, turn electric on, hit start on the remote (a generator with a remote start is so cool, so had to use the remote). Hit the start button on the remote and it cranked twice but didn’t start (of course this is expected due to the fact that the carburetor was bone dry). Cool thing is, it re-tried starting again without me hitting the button and stated right up, ran like a champ for 20 min with no issues. It comes with a battery charger that plugs right into the panel, has a fuel gauge and electric meter that monitors voltage, run time, etc. I love everything about this generator, easy to assemble and use, 12,500W peak and 9500W continuous power and a 50A connection, have no doubt that this will power all the household essentials when that big storm hits

The Westinghouse 9500/12500 dual fuel generator was a easy choice. The easy feature of starting with a key fob, YES A KEY FOB! Press a button and done. Starting is easy even a kid can do it. The dual fuel is a noice option as IN case electricity at the gas pump is out Dual Fuel will always be able to keep this running as propane tanks refill without electricity. The unit even for its weight is really nimble to move in place to plug in to power my whole house. Assembly is easy. I choose portable that in the future of where I go I can simply take it with me and if a friend or family member needs to use it I can load it in my SUV, I don’t even need a truck to move this bad boy. Fuel gauge is easy to read, front control panel is well laid out and not confusing. I will pick up a 40lb. propane tank to have on stand by ready to fire it up. The cast iron block was a reason to buy it as all the better police vehicles that have a cast iron engine blocks go forever

Because my husband is a Public Works Director he is always away on the flash floods, the snow, the wind and of course what comes with it the power outages. Finally I have something I can handle to keep the household going until the power comes back. This is an awesome product especially for those ladies who are stuck at home fending for themselves.

I bought the generator a month ago, and after opening the instructions and reading through the user's manual, i found it very simple to assemble and i especially enjoy the remote start fob that comes with this unit. As an older person, it is a blessing not to have to pull start it.

I love this machine so much that I bought 2. I have it connected to my home to operate some essentials, like the sewage pump and refrigerators and freezers, but I'm able to also operate my whole house air conditioning with this unit. If I want to run my stove or dryer, I simply turn off the air conditioning while I'm doing those tasks. This got me though 3 day power outages. I love the propane option because I don't have to worry about the gas in the tank going bad.

I've been using the Westinghouse WGen9500DFc Generator and it's been fantastic. The convenience of having two fuel sources, gas and LPG, makes it incredibly versatile. Living in Florida, where power outages can be a concern, this generator has been a lifesaver. It's powered everything we need without any issues, from the fridge to the AC. It's reliable, easy to use, and gives us peace of mind. I highly recommend the WGen9500DFc for anyone needing a dependable power source.

Great portable home generator. Has the power to run the items needed after loss of power from hurricanes and tropical storms. Our electrician created an easy hookup for our generator with an interlock in the electrical panel to prevent potential damage to our electrical system when the power comes back on. Nice to have the choice of gasoline or propane. We use ethanol-Free gasoline to prevent gum-up in the carburetor and run the unit every 2 months. It comes with a quick disconnect for the battery when not in use. The remote start is also a nice feature.

I just purchased this. I put oil and gas in and it fired right up. It seems very well built and Westinghouse has been making generators for about 130 years. It has enough power to run pretty much everything in the house. I am very satisfied with it and it is pretty too.

We literally just unboxed the generator so this review will not include usage information. Upon delivery the box was very sturdy and not easily punctured. All extra components were easily identified though not all items are located in the component box. The fob was attached to the instrument panel and the natural gas hose was in a bag within the frame. Both were easily found. Installing feet and wheels was easy but you need someone with strength to lift onto props (of course). My recommendation is to use same the letters in the content list as the instructions. So if the hitch pin is "D" on the list, use "D" in the instructions. The rest of the instructions look easy to follow even for those unfamiliar with small engines. We are purchasing this generator for use as a backup when power is out long term. We will be installing a transfer switch and a connection for our gas line for flexible use.
