After much research, the WGen9500DF was my selection due to its features and it being a Westinghouse product. The minimal prep went without a hitch, with very good directions. It started and ran on propane with the first try and flawlessly switched over to gasoline without missing a beat. I am currently working on the break in so I can't speak for its reliability but so far I am impressed. Built like a tank.
I use it a single time for the moment. Easy to start and it start well. Easy to assembly but it's very heavy and hard for a single person to assemble the tire. The materials isn't cheap at all.
bought april 8, 2024 and right out of box simple to put on wheels and legs. connected to propane, added oil and started right up!!!! simple push button or remote! started right on que and ran quieter than expected! great product that will hopefully service my family for years!!!
I have researched a lot of back up generators and this one meets all of my needs..With climate change I am having more outages than ever. Being older I need something dependable andI think I have found it
I live on an island on the coast of Maine with the incumbent power failures, and purchased the Westinghouse 9500 DF about six months ago (99 hours of use) to replace my PowerStroke 6000 which is eight years old, still runs great, but wasn’t quite powerful enough to carry my whole house electrical system, and was getting older. This Westinghouse has been nothing but a disappointment. It constantly ”revs”, blinking the house lights when it has very little load. It shuts off on its own whim, sometimes starts and sometimes doesn’t. I’ve had all types of problems, both on traditional gas and using propane with it.(dual fuel) It seems to have no more power than my older 6000, despite claims that it’s much more powerful. In general, I use my much older smaller generator as my primary and only use this Westinghouse as a back up because I can never tell if it’s gonna run correctly. I’ve learned my lesson on buying this manufactures products. It won’t happen again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
