So easy to use

I haven't had a chance to use this in an actual power outage (which is why I bought it) but I have fired it up to make sure it works. Since it was just a test, I didn't want to have to fill it with gasoline that I would then need to drain, so I add the oil and just hooked it up to a spare grill propane tank I had. I connected the battery, turned on the switch, and pressed the Start Button. I didn't realize it would go through several cycles of trying to start on its own, which was pretty cool. On the fourth cranking try, it caught and registered that all was working and it was outputting voltage. I didn't have to pull it across grass or dirt, but moving it around on concrete was very easy. It seems to be very user-friendly, has plenty of documentation on how to get started and how to use and store. And the dual-fuel capability is really nice.

Good generator!

I bought this generator after hurricane Oralia and was ready for Helene. I hooked it up to my 120 gallon lp tank and it ran steady for 6 and a half days I would stop running only long enough to check oil level and change oil(twice). This generator used about 50 gallons of propane for the duration that it ran(6.5 days nonstop). I have no complaints. Especially after talking to people with blown up Firmans and Generals. I’d definitely recommend this unit.

Easy to Assemble / Easy to Operate

The item is heavy and I do recommend to have two people to work on assembly. The the process to add legs and wheels took about 10 min, it took me another 10 min to add oil and connect propane tank. I also charge battery for another 10 min, but it wasn't necessary - in 30 min I had my generator up in running. Also, I was pleasantly surprised how compact the item for the power its generate.

Gave us much needed support during Hurricane Beryl

During Hurricane Beryl, our Westinghouse generator proved to be an invaluable asset. It performed flawlessly and exactly as expected, providing much-needed relief during the power outage. Setting it up was straightforward and hassle-free. With its dependable power supply, we managed to keep our refrigerator running smoothly, maintain our AC for comfort in the sweltering heat, and extend a helping hand to our neighbor by sharing power through an extension cord for their fans. The generator's performance exceeded our expectations, offering peace of mind during a challenging time. If you're looking for a generator that delivers on reliability and ease of use, especially during emergencies like hurricanes, I highly recommend considering the WGen9500TFc!

Well built generator

The 9500DF arrived in great condition. Unboxed and assembled and connected to propane and it started right up on 2nd attempt. Filled with gas a few days later and ran perfectly again. Haven’t used to power up my home yet, but I’m sure it will perform well.

Perfect house backup generator

After the crazy freeze we had this past winter, we realized it was probably time to have a backup plan. We will be installing a transfer switch to hook it up to our home easily. Having the ability to use propane is great. Hoping to get a large propane tank so we'll be ready next time. This has a 50amp, 30, and and two 20amp circuits, so we should have plenty of power to keep the fridge and heaters going when we need to.

Great power and features

I bought the generator about 3 weeks ago and it was delivered about 1 week ago. So far I've started it up using propane with no issue. The engine turned over with one push if the button. I'd give it 5 stars, but, I've had no cause to put it to use, but, I expect trouble free operation.

Good quality, needed some work to get it started.

Seems to be great quality and well built. It was easy to set up and ran on propane just fine. However, I could not get it to run on gas at first. It was new ethanol free gas and wouldn’t start or even turn over. I checked that all fuel lines were clear and it still didn’t work. Finally I drained the carburetor and it started working just fine. Seems to be good now. Maybe something from the factory was still in the carb and caused it to not start. Once that was taken care of, it works as expected.

Great Value!

I researched the heck out of buying a replacement generator to power my well pump and water heater along with a few other choice circuits. This was by far the lowest price, highest watt, dual-fuel generator out there. So far I have only tested it and changed the oil as we have not had any power outages yet. The only two issues so far is Westinghouse (due to liability, I'm sure) won't give me a straight answer on how to hook this up to a 100 lb propane tank. They keep referring me to a licensed plumber. And, the fuel gauge hasn't worked from day one but one call the tech support and a replacement is supposed to be on the way! Very happy so far!

Great First Impressions

Just received my Westinghouse 9500WGen DF 50 Amp generator. The generator was delivered in great condition and the setup could not have been any easier. Work instructions were clear and accurate and everything needed for setup was provided in the box. Tested the dual fuel function and both worked well and were easy to switch over. Appears to be well built can't wait to try it out on our first power outage.
