Impressed so far

I just purchased this to replace an existing 7000 watt generator that provided 21 years (!) of reliable performance. Having just run that unit for a week straight during an extended storm power outage, it seemed like an appropriate time to retire it and get a new generator.
After much research I chose the WGen9500SF. I wanted additional wattage, and especially wanted the ability to run on propane in addition to gasoline. I have a 500 gallon propane tank on my property, so with a longer hose this generator can be set up to run for quite a long while. The push button start and auto-choke features are both very good, and will be helpful in the event that other less technically inclined family members need to operate it.
The generator arrived in perfect condition and compared to my old 7000 watt unit, the Westinghouse is actually a bit smaller, and a little quieter. Assembly was very simple and it is nice that the motor oil, funnel, etc. are all included.
I've run the generator for 30 minutes or so- It fired up immediately on propane and once I realized that the duel fuel switch has to fully "click" to gasoline, it ran nicely on gas, and can indeed switch "on the fly" between both fuels.
I connected to my home's manual transfer panel with my existing 30 amp connector cord and under load, the generator performed perfectly. Next week my electrician will be doing some upgrades so I can connect with a 50 amp connector cord and get the full capacity of the generator.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far I have nothing bad to say. The generator started with the first push of the button.

Bought this to power whole house, runs 3.5 ton ac, lights, and appliances. Recommend 50amp connection. If you have electric water heater recommend you switch off during regular operation since electric water heater is the next largest power user.

Powerful Generator

We have tested this generator several times and it has run wonderfully every time using both gasoline and propane. It is very robust and powerful. Starts quickly and includes an excellent user manual. Labeling on the unit itself could be improved slightly. I put my own label on the small silver gasoline switch that is located on the side and not included with the operating panel. I also labeled the propane inlet port. A wattage meter is desperately needed to determine load. It does have a voltage meter, but wattage would be so much better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Black outs are hard with a septic pump! Problem solved. Tied right into my home propane line from big tanks.
