We lost power for 65 hours during the last two ice storms in Texas. It wasn't fun. I vowed to get a back up in place to at least power my heater fans, lights, and necessities. After a lot of research I settled on the Westinghouse 9500DF as my best choice for the price. I love that it is dual fuel and I can easily keep a propane tanks to start it up and then later switch over to gasoline to keep it going.
Bought the dual fuel generator for security and peace of mind we can weather any storm and power outage that comes our way. I can crank it with the push button start without waiting on husband to crank it. Hope this will last for years. Feels solid and well made!!
I live in rural Texas, where a reliable generator is a must. I did a lot of research before purchasing this model, and it did not disappoint! During a recent power outage, I was able to keep my appliances, lights, and heat.
I bought this in January and I'm using it's pretty regular the only problem I see is with the CO sensor and it will shut my generator off even in an open area with the wind blowing. Other than that I can run it about 627 hours and only use 324 gallons of gas and it runs fine.
