Love the dual fuel feature

I bought this one-month ago as a backup generator for my house. Assembly was easy. With both a supply of propane and gasoline on hand, I particularly love the dual-fuel feature of the generator since I could run out of either fuel, but not likely both. Since I haven't needed to generator yet, I can't yet vouch for dependability, but it looks to be a well built, high-quality generator. If I have problems with it, I will update my post. So far, so good.
I just had this delivered today and set it up per the manual. Put gas in the tank, hooked up a propane tank, set it to start on propane, pressed the remote start button and it fired right up. I then switched from propane to gas on the fly and it ran perfectly. I did that back and forth a few times from gas to propane and propane to gas then let it run for a while on gas, shut it down then let it run a while on the propane. It ran flawlessly. The manual is very east to understand so you do not need any technical expertise, just follow the instructions and you'll be up and running in no time. Last week I had an electrician hook up a transfer switch and an outside plug for a 25 foot 6 gauge cord because I didn't want to run multiple extension cords, but still could if I wanted. He asked what generator I bought and when I told him the Westinghouse he said he has the exact one and said they are rated #1 so I feel better that I really made the right choice. We are now set up in case the Texas electric grid goes down again like it did this past February. Thanks Westinghouse!
Bought it last month in case of outage this winter. Liked how easy it was to put together, put the legs and wheels on in about five minutes. Filled it with the oil provided put about a gal of gas hooked propane and started after carburetor filed with gas, easy to switch from gas to propane.
Purchased 30 days ago. Product and packaging arrived in wonderful condition, unlike another brand which I returned. WGEN9500 started easily with electric start with gasoline and propane.
I bought this generator for the 50 amp capability it has enough power to run a rule household with well and septic along with appliances and lights. It was easy to assemble — Did a test run with both propane and gas it runs very smoothly and the transition was painless. Since you are not supposed to run these during harsh weather I also purchased a IGAN Running cover and it fits this generator perfectly
