Just assembled my new generator and it started up easily on first try. Am very happy I can run it on propane as I want to avoid hassles of stale gas and carburetor maintenance
We just purchased it to replace the one we had. It was delivered well before the initial date. It was easy to attach the parts and started without any problems. It is exactly what was advertised especially with the remote start add-on. It is well worth it.
We bought the 9500DF as a replacement for an older 5600 watt unit. I did a lot of research before making my decision and found the Westinghouse 9500DF was the best choice for us. We live in a rural area with a well and propane. I love the dual fuel feature, so when I don't have gasoline, the generator will still run. I have the unit installed into a manual transfer switch that powers 10 circuits in the house. My old 5600 watt generator would struggle when we would use the furnace and coffee pot together, if the well pump turned on, it would trip the breaker, which led us to always having to turn everything off when we wanted to take a shower for example. With this new 9500DF, the well pump is no longer a worry. When it turns on, the generator throttles on with ease. We can enjoy making coffee with the furnace on and run water without fear of the generator failing. One major bonus is the remote start feature. When the heavy snow starts, or our local power company, PGE warns of an impending power shutoff, I can simply turn the ignition switch on and, when the power goes off, I simply press the remote, the unit fires up and I flip the transfer switch without ever having to go outside. I love it.
Although I haven't actually started it yet, I have thoroughly read the manual, and it looks to be what we were looking for. It's ruggedly built, and has the outputs to power all the basic appliances we might need to get through an extended power outage. I'm still procuring all the accessories we'll need for it. I chose Westinghouse because they have been a recognized name in quality for decades, and they stand by it with a 3 year warranty. I'm not looking forward to using it, but will be glad I have it when the time comes.
Bought this just in case of a freeze again and lose power, but this works so well I'm going to have it to where it'll runs my whole house. This has more than enough power to is the run my complete house, considering I have a gas furnace and other gas appliances. Is the price was so good that I can afford to have an electrician wire me the plug in Box connected directly to my breaker Box.
