I bought this several weeks ago to replace my current generator. After researching and reading up I decided to go with this Westinghouse WGen9500DF. I liked the fact that it had a dual fuel feature. Gas or propane. Since I already have a large propane tank for my hot tub I had another line run for me to hook up the generator. Having gone through the hurricane last year we were without power for several hours. Many of my neighbors were without for several days. At least with this Westinghouse9500 I will be able to keep the important things up and running. Especially the well and the sump pumps. refrigerators and such. I also liked the fact the unit has a remote start feature. No need to pull the cord to start it up. I liked the info that came with it as well. And putting it together (wheels & foot pads) were no problem. It included the wrench to put them on. I feel I bought a quality generator that will work well for me and my home when the time comes.
I purchased this 9500DFc generator for my home as an insurance of power loss during a Florida storm. Had an electrician install connection to my house to provide total power if needed. Very pleased with product and ease of mind that it provides my family - thanks.
I was going to purchase a expensive whole house generator, however, reading the reviews and the detail Westinghouse gave to correct sizing of a generator, I chose this one. It runs everything in the house including the 4 ton air conditioner. You can't run everything at the same time, but you never do. The dipstick seems to be short however, reading the dipstick gives you the impression that you are low on oil, when I was not looking into the block.
Remote/electric start is awesome! Hopefully no more rope pulling workouts in the middle of a power outage. Started right up after taking it out of the box.
