    • Quality item; sturdy construction and easy to use.
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Worked great right out of the box. No damage, easy setup. Haven't attempted it with Propane yet but absolutely no issues with gas. Got a bit of weight to it but that's why it has wheels.

    • As expected - matched highly rated reviews
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Received the Westinghouse WGen9500DF Generator and immediately unboxed and assembled. Although the box had a good-sized tear in the side, the contents of the inside of the box were unharmed. The Amazon delivery people had a hard time getting it out of the truck because unlike other transport providers, whoever loaded up their truck did not place items from rear to front in the order of delivery. Instead my generator was towards the front of the truck so the delivery staff had to spend a good 30 minutes re-arranging the contacts of the truck in order to get access to my generator. The box is extremely heavy so I am surprised the generator is not palletized which could eliminate damage? While unboxing I noticed some of the cardboard and plastic wrap was drenched in oil which was initially concerning. However, once I got the unit out of the box and wiped down things were fine. There are plenty of warnings in the manual and tags on the unit indicating the generator is shipped without engine oil so my worries were unfounded. only some minor scratches on the frame which I can touch-up with spray paint. Other than that the unit looked flawless. Assembly was a breeze and took a whole 10 minutes (install two wheels, two foot pads, add oil which is supplied, and add gas). Looked over the manual and had the unit running within 30 minutes of unboxing. Tested both the push-button start and remote start. Placed the unit under a light load in my garage and seemed to work fine. Pending installing a 50A outlet running from the outside of our home to a manual transfer switch which I have yet to receive and install. Decided to utilize the included battery charger to charge overnight until the LED went from red (Charging) to green (Charged). The unit has a nice fold-down handle which makes wheeling it around very simple, even for my wife. My plan is to store it in the garage, then when we lose power (maybe once or twice a year here in WI), wheel it outside, plug it into the outlet (well inlet really), get it running then manage the transfer switch depending on where we need power. I sized the unit (9500W running on gas) to twice the load we plan to power during an outage. I have done the math (both for peak inrush and running currents) and plan on loading it with a fridge, a freezer, a well pump, garage door opener(s), furnace (for winter outages), and a portable air conditioner unit (for summer if needed), lastly some minimal lighting and outlets for low wattage items if needed. It is not the intent to provide back-up to the entire home since outages here in WI are minimal and last perhaps hours to a day at max, but preparing for future outages due to electrical grid issues? Nice problem to have if our electrical grid remains as reliable as it has, but good to be prepared. I decided (for now) to leave the central A/C out of the backup circuit due to it's power draw, is the reason we will just run a portable A/C in one room to stay cool if needed. Also deciding to lighten the load in case we need to run on propane which reduces the running watts by 1000. Anyway, I like the idea of dual fuel capability as we almost surely have tanks of propane sitting around just in case we run out of gas. The unit appears very well built, high quality materials, everything well laid-out (control panel, gas / oil, etc.) and expect for the 50A plug aligning with a wheel causing the 50A plug needing to be bent slightly, very well designed. I had to minimally bend the 50A cord slightly to get it too fit snugly into the outlet so no big deal for me. Westinghouse also provides clear instructions how to modify the unit for unbonded neutral. I am an industrial engineer and understand neutral to ground bonds so if you don't understand this, do your research and understand consequences of modifying the bind, please consult a licensed electrician. I looked into a Generac whole home automatic generator, and although they are nice, the price-point is easily 10 times more than I spent on the WGen9500DF and items I need for connection to a manual transfer switch (went with the Reliance 510C). So unless you experience outages routinely, don't mind a little manual intervention during an outage, and are not infinitely wealthy, consider this as an option as you can possibly create a backup solution that does not empty your bank account. ... show more

Just received my 9500DF, and I am impressed with the very sold build quality, ease of set up, and ease of operation.
