I purchased this generator only a few weeks ago and have not connected it to the house yet for service during an outage. If I need to amend my rating after doing so, stay tuned. Having said that, I am impressed by its overall build quality and ease of operation, which surpass my expectations. Assembly was straightforward, but a second person would be helpful due to the weight. It has easily powered outdoor tools as a test. Out-of-the-box, the unit would not start on multiple attempts (on gasoline fuel; didn't try propane). Following the experience of another owner on-line, I removed the spark plug and primed the cylinder with fuel. After that, the generator started right up and has continued to start quickly and easily with the start button or remote fob. That's good news, since the recoil pull is quite difficult. It is loud and heavy, but no more than expected. I now feel equipped to handle any future power service interruptions!

I bought this to run our house during a power failure. It was very easy to set up. I hooked it up to propane to try it out and it fired right up! It is fairly quiet for the amount of power output. I only ran it a short time with an air conditioner attached to it but it ran well and handled it without a problem! The fact that you can flip between gas and propane on the fly is amazing! The remote start worked like a champ. I'm hoping to get many years of service out of it!

I been searching for a Generator here in Texas since our Power Outage last Winter. Was very excited to finally decide on this Westinghouse 9500DF.. I just received it today, took 10 Minutes top open it and put a couple of parts on it and it started right up.. Love the electric start!

I received my generator this past weekend. It came on time. The service man was pleasant. The engine started right away. I have not really used it yet but I tested the features except the use of propane and everything works fine. I would recommend to someone else.

We had tornados go through our neighborhood and we lost power for 2 days. MY sump pump did not work and it flooded my basement. and carpet and walls had to be replaced. I dont want to go through that again. So this is the answer. I also have the transfer switch installed.

I bought this generator because the last snow storm we had knocked the power out for over 15 hours. Being a family of 6, many dogs and cats plus being a farm owner with horses and chickens, I can't have my property without power. We chose this generator because it has the option of running off of propane and gas. We haven't had to use it in an emergency situation yet. But, we are currently needing to use it to power a space heater for a chicken that is currently recovering from an injury. This product has definitely helped so far!

I just bought this and appears like it is well built and has solid features. Putting it together was a breeze. The only problem I had was that when I installed the feet to the frame. The welded on nuts were not aligned with the holes in the frame. I had to drill the frame (enlarge the holes) to allow the bolts to go through the frame and engage the nuts. Looking forward to using it in the future.

I recently received this generator and am excited to lose power! It feels incredibly solid and runs a lot quieter than I would anticipate a generator of this size. The electric start had an initial hard time turning over but I was able to start it right up manually and since it starts just fine with the electric start. So far I'm very happy with this purchase.

Arrived a little scuffed up on the frame but all main components ok. Started on the first try (remember to turn the fuel switch on). A lot of nice features and well priced for what it powers. Would recommend. Easy set up and clear instructions/user manual. All tools included as well as a propane adapter. Not too loud either for how much power it has

I struggled to get it going, but called the 800# and got great help getting it going. Lots of nice features. Haven't needed it yet. Was told that I need to run it for several hours, haven't had a need or a chance to do that yet. With that said, I am happy with my purchase so far.
