I purchased the generator a few day ago. Got it unboxed and ready for use yesterday. I ran it on propane and gasoline both just to make sure it run on both. I used a skill saw to check the 120 volt outlets to make sure they worked. This morning our power went off due to a falling tree hitting the lines. Which happens quite often since we live in a rural area. I got out the WGen9500DF and hooked it up and fired it off. It hardly broke stride when i flip the transfer switch to the house. Ran everything we needed including the circulating pump for our outdoor wood burning water boiler and the 220 volt blower to blow the heat inside the house. Very happy so far with this purchase.

I bought this for our family as a just in case. I love the electric start and the wireless keyfob that you can use to start it with. Took about 30 minutes to assemble out of the box added oil and gas, started her up and let her run. A must have for anyone who has ever had to go without power for a few days.

Easy Setup and Startup

Purchased after tropical storm Isaias last August. Lost power for 3 days. I have 3 teenagers with big appetites and of course we lost all the food in the refrigerator and separate freezer. Had trees down and felt gross when I went to bed after working outside and then not being able to shower. I told my wife 'never again' and set about finding a portable generator. Knew I wanted to use propane and wanted a direct hookup to the breaker panel via the L14 30R outlet. I was going for the 7500DF but my electrician said I should go with the 9500DF in case I needed heat in the winter (we have electric heat). There doesn't seem to be much more fuel usage as they both use the same engine. I ordered on 10/21 and the generator arrived on 11/11 undamaged. I put on the wheels and mounting feet after tipping the unit on its side. Do this carefully with 2 people as it's a heavy unit. Added the oil that came with the generator but had to buy more and added about another 1/4 quart to bring the level 1/2 way up the hatch marks on the dipstick. Maybe this is just my anomaly but I didn't want to start the unit with the level showing below the 'L' on the dipstick. The unit came with the battery cables already hooked to the battery so all I had to do was complete a quick connect tied together just above the dipstick. I was pleased. Hooked up my 20lb barbecue tank, pressed the start button and after about 3 revolutions started right up and ran smoothly. I was going to buy 3 30lb tanks to handle about 3 days of running but the manual says it can be hooked up to bigger house tanks which I have. This must be done by a plumber knowledgeable with this type of conversion as line pressures are very important. My electrician said that he personally liked the Westinghouse so that made me feel I made the right choice. So far so good. I have confidence it will perform well when needed.
