Delivered undamaged. Easy assembly. Easy instructions for preparation for operation. Easy startup. Generator started as described in the manual. Can't wait to try it on the next power outage.
Purchased in conjunction with transfer switch. Everything so far performs as expected. Delivery was good. Arrived early. Set up was easy and gen has performed well. Starts every time and runs flawlessly.
Arrived in good shape. Set up was no problem. Ran on propane first time and it started using remote first try. Haven’t used on the house yet, awaiting transfer switch. But, as I work on frozen drink machines in my garage, I hooked up a few and the Westinghouse 9500df handled with ease. I believe it will handle my house with no problem.
The reviews, power rating and the duel fuel feature led me to this product. Like many small gasoline engines, gasoline generators can sit around unused for long periods of time. Unless proper measures are taken, the gasoline will go bad and clog up the tank and the carburetor. Propane does not go bad! It doesn't sit around in the gas tank or the carburetor. You can run this unit on propane and then let it sit for a year and then fire it right back up on propane without having to rebuild the carb and clean out the fuel tank. If I am ever in a power outage situation and run out of propane I can always use some gasoline if I absolutely have to. This unit also has a back pull start if the on-board battery goes dead.
