I am replacing a 20 year old generator with similar capacity. The remote start feature is what convinced me to get this unit. Also, compared to my old generator, the battery is located much better for service, and the control panel has more information. Dual fuel capability is nice. It is refreshing to get a well-written owners manual with good English. It is louder than my old generator for no good reason that I can see except lazy design -- that is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solidly built unit

Purchased this generator just in time to use it for hurricane Delta. We were out of power for three days and it performed flawlessly. Started running it on propane till I could get gasoline, it consumed a 15lb bottle of propane in about 6hours that’s running 3 small window units a couple of floor fans, lights and some small electrical appliances, on gasoline I think I got about 10 to 12 hours. Also would turn it off and give about 6 hours of cool down time as these class of generators are not rated for continuous duty. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is when running on propane when you turn off the unit you must turn off your bottle or it will bleed off propane and empty the bottle.

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.
