The first day I couldn’t get it to start, but I contacted technical assistance and they walked me through what I needed to do. So I appreciated their assistance/help. Bottom line is I had to hold the choke in the cold start position (it’s an automatic choke so it doesn’t stay in the cold start position as it tries to start, the choke starts moving unless you hold it) and I did use some starter fluid and that was the trick of getting it started.

I bought this on September 12, 2018 but due to illness I left in box sealed. Started it up last month and she runs like a top. I worked for Westinghouse back in the late 60's as a nuclear project engineer on the polaris nuclear submarine program and I have always been very proud of Westinghouse products and their performance.

The reviews, power rating and the duel fuel feature led me to this product. Like many small gasoline engines, gasoline generators can sit around unused for long periods of time. Unless proper measures are taken, the gasoline will go bad and clog up the tank and the carburetor. Propane does not go bad! It doesn't sit around in the gas tank or the carburetor. You can run this unit on propane and then let it sit for a year and then fire it right back up on propane without having to rebuild the carb and clean out the fuel tank. If I am ever in a power outage situation and run out of propane I can always use some gasoline if I absolutely have to. This unit also has a back pull start if the on-board battery goes dead.

Just purchased this machine after suffering through separate power outages. Dual fuel and remote start should come in handy. Would be great to have the ability to run from an auxiliary fuel tank. Pick point and amp meter would put this over the top. Will rate 5 stars when it pulls us through the next outage.

Kids got this for me for fathers day. Not sure which store they purchased it from . Only had to use 3 times but it's never missed a beat. Easy electric start and very good fuel economy. Going to connect to propane and a transfer switch. I rate it 5 stars. Very good product.

I bought this to use in emergencies when electricity is out. I unboxed it and the small amount of assembly was easy. Very easy start with remote. Good instructions except no mention of turning on fuel line. Hopefully I will not need it but I feel confident it will do the job.

Our son owns a WGen9500. They have had the opportunity to use it during a power outage. He said it did all you would expect, has great features - particularly the remote start. They have four boys, ages 3 to 15, and having emergency power was great. We could not ask for a better review or recommendation than that to base our purchase on.

I just purchased this to replace an existing 7000 watt generator that provided 21 years (!) of reliable performance. Having just run that unit for a week straight during an extended storm power outage, it seemed like an appropriate time to retire it and get a new generator. After much research I chose the WGen9500SF. I wanted additional wattage, and especially wanted the ability to run on propane in addition to gasoline. I have a 500 gallon propane tank on my property, so with a longer hose this generator can be set up to run for quite a long while. The push button start and auto-choke features are both very good, and will be helpful in the event that other less technically inclined family members need to operate it. The generator arrived in perfect condition and compared to my old 7000 watt unit, the Westinghouse is actually a bit smaller, and a little quieter. Assembly was very simple and it is nice that the motor oil, funnel, etc. are all included. I've run the generator for 30 minutes or so- It fired up immediately on propane and once I realized that the duel fuel switch has to fully "click" to gasoline, it ran nicely on gas, and can indeed switch "on the fly" between both fuels. I connected to my home's manual transfer panel with my existing 30 amp connector cord and under load, the generator performed perfectly. Next week my electrician will be doing some upgrades so I can connect with a 50 amp connector cord and get the full capacity of the generator.

Love the ease of use and dual fuel flexibility. Bought this 2 years ago after an extended power outtage and while we haven't had another, this unit has been helpful a few times in shorter outages. I love not having to keep gasoline on hand and being able to use a propane tank (whichare always on have for the grill and fire pit). But having the gasoline option for longer periods and more power is really nice.

This unit comes boxed nicely and sets up very easily. Comes with an easy to understand guide as well as an owners manual that explains things more in depth. I’m still in the break in period but so far so good. My favorite feature is that you can switch between fuels and it stays running. If this review can be updated I’ll be sure to do so after it gets put to use during a power outage.
