Exactly what I needed, and requested.

Living in Texas all my life I felt I was prepared for most any unexpected event. Last February proved me to be wrong. I now realize that a cord of wood would not suffice (especially when you are helping your friends and family out too) when the power fails for over a week, and your home is total electric. With low temperatures at a record breaking -4 across the Dallas area, inside temps were as low as a frosty 43 degrees ... I realized I was NOT prepared. After this unprecedented event finally cleared I spent a week researching alternative power sources and finally selected my new WGen 9500DF. I could not be more pleased knowing that whatever nature or other unexpected events comes our way ... electrical power will never again be a shortfall on my part. It is also not uncommon for Texas to experience some power issues in the middle of our typical summer season too, but with our new Westinghouse DF generator maintaining power to our fridge, freezer and AC we are good to go ... and with a Xfer switch it is a simple hook up too. The 9500 DF is packed with many features to make those unexpected power issues a little more tolerable, including my new best friend ... remote start..
Thanks Westinghouse ... your new lifetime customer. (LB)

Initial Impressions Good Generator
on May 23, 2021
Posted by: BriteStar
from Oxford, CT
I initially looked at Inverter Generators, but very few this size and none I found were dual fuel. I thought this generator was comparable in it's features to most others in this size range. It did however have a bit longer advertised run time than any others.
The generator arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. Set up was very straight forward - mount the feet and wheels, connect battery and add engine oil. One issue I did find was the quart of oil supplied with the generator was not enough to fill to the proper operating level. An additional approximate 1/8-1/4 quart was needed.
I only tested the generator on propane- with the tank connected and push of the start button and the generator fired right up. One thing to note is that parts of the directions state to press the start button and hold until generator starts- you do not have to do this, you only have to press the start button and release and the generator will try to start 3 times. If it doesn't start within three times, you will have to recycle the start procedure. After starting, I ran a few power tools. You can hear the generator change pitch when starting a tool. Overall I would say the generator is fairly quiet compared to other generators I have heard.
The generator comes with all the outlet covers taped down- one of mine on a duplex outlet was taped in a twisted position and will not snap in place over the outlet- this is really the only negative comment I can make about this generator.
Otherwise it seems to be a very good piece of equipment.

I bought this to provide emergency power to our home after living through a week with no power. Fired up the first push start on propane. Seems solid and had all the features I wanted. Looking forward to some piece of mind!

It arrived super fast in only a week. It is sturdy. Love the covers for the plugs. I feel so much better and prepared for hurricane season having this at home.
