I purchase this generator to power my home. I needed one that my wife could start and not have to use a manual starter. This generator filled the need perfectly. It was easy to install the wheels and feet and everything was included and the battery was fully charged. The engine stared the first time I pushed the start button.

We lose power a lot and I need the generator to maintain power as I have medical conditions that require the use of breathing machines. .This generator should work very nicely and we are having an electricition hook up a transfer switch to make it even easier.

UPDATE: Review now 4 Stars. While waiting a week for a customer service response, I began troubleshooting. Fuel in fuel lines. Check. Petcock. Check. Fuel in Carb bowl. Check. AutoChoke. Properly functioning. Took off air cleaners and added squirted in starter fluid. Coughed. Two more times and it started on gas. Still start on propane. Check. As silly as this exercise was it SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED IN THE TROUBLESHOOTING section of the manual. The reply I received from customer service a week later, didn't mention this simple procedure either. as many people that are EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE they should address this. Hope this helps someone. WOULD BUY AGAIN. Use non-ethanol fuel, use an additive, and start 1x a month. You should have a great generator. HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. Prior review: Arrived today. Will not start or operate on gasoline. Started right up with propane. Sent immediate email to Westinghouse support. Waiting for a reply. Will update this review as they respond. Delivery was week late after being canceled several times. Box was tore up but generator looked undamaged. Not as heavy as other reviews seemed to indicate but it is too heavy for one person to lift. Moves fine with wheels though. Many other reviews mention my same problem, but none appear to have been updated with what happened. One did say another generator was sent with opposite problem… will update.

I bought this generator after reading reviews. I am not disappointed. I had it installed last weekend just in time for 32 power outage. I was not disappointed. This generator powered my whole house plus my water pump. The electric start is great. No pulling for this elderly lady. So many additional features. This generator went beyond my expectations. I have the smaller generator as well and love both.

Generator showed up today. We live in California and the wild fires have had our power shut down for days. I ordered the gen 19 days ago. Setup was easy, just put the wheels and bumper pads on and add oil. They ship a liter of oil with the unit but my WGen9500DF took a tad more to bring the level up to the middle of the dip stick.

Just bought this for California's power shut off and it is exactly what I needed. I am on well water and that proves to be a major inconvenience with no power. This unit runs my well, lights, appliances, and even the dryer if I shut down other loads appropriately. Would definitely recommend. It even arrived 3 days before it was scheduled to!

Very happy with the Westinghouse WGen9500DF. We wanted a generator capable of whole home backup power, some minor camping and also to power some tools. I haven't put it to an extreme test yet, but so far so good. Why I chose Westinghouse: Excellent price, dual fuel option, remote start key fob, 50amp plug comes standard, wheels and handle come standard. This generator stands apart from competitors because of these reasons and is why I chose to go with Westinghouse. Also, 3yr warranty. This generator is about as loud (more or less) as a riding lawn mower, which is to be expected. I have yet to have an electrician over to install a generator input plug on the house (and an interlock) but I will come back and update my review with any issues and or updates. My only complaint - the provided 1qt of oil isnt quite enough to get to the proper level. Only a minor issue for me.

After a series of storms caused extended power outages in my area I decided to get a portable generator large enough to run my entire house. The 9500 DF has sufficient power to meet my needs. The dual fuel option is a great selling point and this appears to be a well made machine,

Just purchased this generator. I'm very pleased with the features of this product. I have not had to use it in an emergency situation yet, but I did give it a trial run. It started right up and seems to be able to handle everything that I intend on using it for.

It comes with a battery, a battery maintainer/charger and the connection is on the operator panel! Great detail. It ships with the oil needed and the wheels are easy to install on the solid axles. Wheels even have bearings! I was pushed to purchase a lesser brand and I am so glad I did not.
