9500DF is a heavy, so it requires 2 people to install front feet and rear wheels. The set up and startup procedures are very straightforward, especially when using the electric start/fob. I connected the generator to my home using GenerLink device. I was able to power lights, appliances, computer related equipment, well pump, sump pump, and oil heat boiler without issue. I can power a small central air conditioning system by limiting use of other energy hogs. The 9500DF looks great, is well built, starts easily, and delivers the power. The dual fuel support adds tremendous flexibility should outages come with fuel availability challenges. I was able to buy at a promotional price further adding to the 9500DF’s already solid value proposition.
Bought this in July 2020 and it's a beast. Big and heavy but not too loud and delivers consistent power. Bought in July and used once in power outage for about 2/3 days with no issues. Run about a gallon or so gas through it once per month to keep it fresh and ready to go. Electric / remote start is money $$
I liked how easy it was to get the generator turned on and running - it was a great touch to have that first quart of oil included in the shipment. Unfortunately, it couldn't sustain 2 1500W heaters (one plugged in to each of the two outlet boxes). Presumably that will be because of my altitude (~6000 feet). We'll see how good Westinghouse is at warranty coverage!
