We bought this generator after the largest snow storm in several years hit Virginia stranding motorists and knocking out power for over 250,000 people for 5+ days. We were lucky this time and we were only without power for 17-hours. After things cleared we researched the best option for our future needs. After reading several recent reviews and viewing available options we decided on the 9500DF. We were sold on its ample capabilities and the reliability of the Westinghouse brands. Now my family and I are confident that we’ll have power when the next storm knocks out the power!
Very simple set up, comes with everything you need except fuel. Started right up. I havent had enoough time to run test for duration but will update once I put it through a weekend of use. Would be 5 stars except the machine is louder than I anticipated.
This generator is perfect for providing power to my house during power outages and it's portability allows me use it for power while clearing my 5 acre lot. It fires up quickly every time and has enough outlets for every job I need to do. The engine is quieter than other generators I have used and the dual fuel feature is very convenient when you don't want to carry a lot of gasoline with you. It also comes with a remote control for added convenience. I would recommend this generator to anyone who needs an affordable back up power source for their home or for power at a building site.
I bought this generator three weeks ago. Very easy to setup (wheels and feet), only took about 5 minutes. I went down to my local hardware store and filled up my propane tank, added the oil, hooked the tank up to the generator, checked for leaks (safety), pushed the start button and it kicked-off immediately. Engine sounds very smooth, and isn't too loud.
I am a contractor and have owned many generators this is my first dual fuel and I have tested every option on this generator , I am very pleased and impressed Every option is user friendly if I were to make one negative review it would be they ship and supply 1 quart of oil and it requires 1.16 quarts of oil check your manual
Threads were stripped on the frame for one of the flange bolts when attaching the feet. Got around this by using a smaller flange bolt and a nut. Started right up manually, but electronic start doesn’t seem to be setting the choke correctly.
