Works Great! Like Dual Fuel

I researched a number of generators and the Westinghouse WGen9500DFc had all the features I wanted plus more. I really like the Dual Fuel capability and electric start. It has a 50 amp outlet which was important to me. I had an electrician install a Generac 9854 Transfer Switch and a 50 Amp Inlet Box. I upgraded the Transfer Switch from 10 to 16 circuits. It's easy to use. Connect the Propane Tank or add gasoline. Turn the selector switch to Propane or Gas; Start the Generator by pressing the Start Button; It will automatically start the engine. Once running, Plug the Generator Cord into the Generator and into the Inlet Box; Flip the Circuit Breaker switch on Generator to the On Position. The Transfer Switch now has power. On the Generac Transfer Switch, you press one button and it changes to Generator Power. Simple. When Utility Power is Restored, you press the button on the Transfer Switch and power is switched from the Generator Back to Utility Power. The Generator is simple to use, has lots of power and has all the features I need. I highly recommend.

Upgrade

I bought this to update an older Westinghouse 7500 gas generator>. The dual fuel aspect was the major appeal due to long gas lines during a prolonged power outage. I expect an outstanding perfoarmance, as the older Westinghouse unit was great.

Bought this online, happily impressed by quality, easy setup, fast start, Really like the FOB allows for running on job site only when needed. I plan on setting up for an emergency house backup with transfer switch.

This arrived well packaged and assembled. The instructions were clear and intuitive. Adding wheels and supports, the provided oil and charging the battery were very straightforward.

Review of delivery, set up, and initial starting.
on December 18, 2021

from DeRidder, La.
The generator was ordered on Dec 7 with a guaranteed delivery of Dec 21, it was delivered on Dec 18.....AWESOME!!! Upon inspecting the box, I was surprised to learn that the only tool I needed was a boxcutter. When I opened the box and Inspected the contents, I learned that I would need a wrench to install the two legs. The wrench needed was part of the contents and it is an actual wrench that I will keep in my tool box, it is not one of those junk stamped pieces of sheet metal that you normally get. The assembly is simple and the instruction sheet is easy to follow and does not leave out any necessary details. There is a funnel supplied that I really appreciate; it makes the oil installation virtually drip free. Initial start up did not go as smoothly as unpacking and assembly. The generator would not start on either push button or remote start. It would go through the starting process but would not start. When I did a manual start (it started with one pull) I learned that the breather hose was blocking the full travel of the choke lever. I adjusted the position of the hose to allow full travel and the auto start function cranked the generator as designed. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.
