Much more for a little more

My son in law bought a small generator during a power outage and had to run the refrigerator and window air conditioner in shifts. For a little more I equipped my home with the Westinghouse 9500 and am able to power most everything during a power outage. The remote start, alternate fuel source and multiple outlets make using it family friendly usage for all.

Flexible options, useful capacity, a real winner!

We purchased the 9500 Trifuel generator during the tax free storm prep week in our state after closing on our first home. We live in a hurricane-prone area and I insisted we have this on hand. Sure enough, Milton hit land and we sat in the eye for 30 minutes. Obviously, we lost power, but this generator came through like a champ! Easy to unpack and assemble, and I was able to brush up on how to use it in the days leading up to the storm. This unit powered three refrigerators, various kitchen appliances, lights, a fan, and we still had more capacity. I intend on doing a hard-wire hookup to our electrical panel so we can use this beast to power the whole house next time. Love the flexibility with fuel sources, the remote start, BOTH kinds of 240 amp plugs... this unit has it all! Saved us a heap of headache.

Great features

I bought this generator a little over a month ago and I'm extremely pleased with it. The Duel fuel will come in handy for us during hurricane season, allowing us to run on gasoline that we have at home and then running off of propane after that. As it could be several days that we would be able to get gasoline again, if it is a bad storm.

Easy Set up and solid build

Bought it as a back up to power the house essentials. Propane option and remote start make it easy to operate. Started at the first try w/o any problem. I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it. appears to be a solid build as expected (i did a lot of research prior to making the purchase)

Ready for winter

I bought the generator in preparation for winter power outages. After the disaster in Texas last year I wasn't taking any chances. My electrician tells me it will work great for my needs and as soon as he installs the power inlet box we will give it a test run. Easy assembly, fired right up on propane, running smoothly. The remote start is a great feature.

Powerful and easy to use

Easy to operate and delivers stable power. The 9500DF has the good power that we need. It took very little effort to assemble and has nice maneuverability and portability. The price is worth the product. I think we will have lot of good use with this generator.

The ideal backup generator for my home

This Westinghouse product (WGen9500DF Dual Fuel Portable Generator) was recommended by the electrician who hooked up the plug for the portable generator to our breaker box. I was scouting a few other models and when I listed them for the electrician, he said, "No. No, no, no, no. You want the Westinghouse. Not those other ones." I know that Westinghouse is a great name brand, a legacy brand, so it was not difficult for me to take the electrician’s recommendation. I am sure glad I did. It was important to get one with LOTS of power, and this model has plenty. You can barely hear the unit surge when I turn on more and more breakers and give it more load. The WGen9500DF can handle all that I throw at it. I even turned on a few extra things, plugging them into garage plugs. No problem. This unit runs all the lights and plugs in my family room, so we will not lose internet service when the power goes out; all the lights upstairs and in the master bedroom and bath; everything in the kitchen (including fridge and stove); and the garage fridge and other outlets in there. And, of course (and, most importantly) it easily handles my home's furnace, well pump, and ejector pump. I basically have EVERYTHING I need on in the house ... and could probably plug in a window AC if I needed to in a heat wave. Hopefully, I will not have to attempt that, but I’m sure this generator can handle it. The unit is easily maneuverable. Without gas in the huge 6.6-gallon tank, I can move it out of the garage, over some grass, and over a little hump to get it on the back patio. It might need to use two hands if it is filled with gas ... which is why I am glad this thing is DUAL FUEL. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to be able to run this on gasoline or propane. You're going to need that flexibility one day and will be glad you have it. The ability to switch between fuels is as easy as turning a dial. The remote start/stop is also super convenient. If you are looking for a portable generator to restore power to the essentials in your house, and maybe even a little more, this is the unit for you. It's a little loud, but not much louder than a power washer. In fact, that's what my neighbor thought I was running when she heard it going on my first test. Now she's going to come over and check out my generator and will probably buy the same one. Highly recommended.

Westinghouse 9500

Instructions and set up to use easy to follow. We are ready if powe goes out. the only negative is that the front "feet" are supposed to bolt to the generator frame with 2 bolts, but the frame only had one hole w a weld utility. Somehow missed the second hole and weld it. Minor issue though

Nice generator

I bought this unit after my 10 year old machine died. My fault on that one though. Forgot to check the oil. :-( This Westinghouse has plenty of power to run most of my house during power outages, which are not uncommon here is Maine. Love the electric start and also the remote start! Just got to remember to check the oil!! I'm happy with my purchase.

Easy setup

Just received this generator and it was easy to setup. Installed the wheels, propane line and full the engine with oil and fuel. Did have some initial issues with gas but propane started immediately. Feels study and the noise isn’t horrible inside the house. Also the user manual is very well put together and gives all the needed information and troubleshooting guide.
