    • Great Generator for a Great Price!
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
The Generator arrived undamaged with all parts and the delivery team was quick and very friendly. It was easy and simple to setup on my own and started up on my first try using propane. Remote start/stop is convenient and worked great. This will be used with my 50A inlet and interlock kit as a whole home backup for emergencies while running on my 250 gal propane tank. Noise is about the same as any other large portable generator I've used. Nice to have for peace of mind. ... show more

    • Power house!
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
I couldn’t be happier with the Westinghouse 9500DF. This generator is a beast—tons of power, starts up easily every time, and runs smooth whether on gas or propane. It’s incredibly well built and gives peace of mind knowing it can handle everything from home backup power to job site tools with no problem. The dual fuel option is a game changer for flexibility, and the remote start is a nice touch when you don’t want to pull a cord in bad weather. It’s surprisingly quiet for the size and very fuel efficient. If you want something dependable, powerful, and well-designed, this is it. Westinghouse nailed it with this one. Highly recommend! ... show more

    • Great Generator at a Great Prime Day Price!
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel - CO Sensor
I just received this generator today so not much to say yet. This will power key circuits in my house when the power goes out. Setting it up by the instructions was simple and on the first try it started. I tested a 30amp load and it powered them with ease. Noise really isn't any different than other big generators. I love the remote start and the trickle power supply for the battery, which both work flawlessly. The only negative is the foam on the handle was already coming apart. Not really worried about it as long as this generator powers my house during outages for years to come. ... show more

    • Nice quality generator that can run the whole house
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
The WGen9500DF generator arrived off the truck in excellent condition. I intended to run the generator on propane for emergency power outages. I purchased a new 20# propane bottle and connected with the supplied hose and regulator and she started right up and ran great. I let it run for 30 minutes and shut it down. A couple of day later I moved it out of the garage and ran it for another 30 minutes and then connected a 1500 watt electric heater to one of the 120v outlets. The heater didn't start! Oh no, why? Then I discovered that the GFCIs on both 120v outlets had to be reset by pressing the reset on the actual outlets. Then the heater started and ran fine. Then I connected a second 1500 watt heater to the other 120v outlet and it also ran fine. So that was 3000 watts running with no problem. I let the generator run for another 20 minutes and then switched the heaters off and shut down the generator. I purchased a 50 amp inlet box and a 25' 50 amp cord along with the generator. Now I am waiting for the electrician to come and install the box and wire it into my breaker panel with an interlock kit. This is a very high quality generator and I expect it to supply power to our whole house in emergency situations when needed. It is quite heavy at 211# but is also easy to maneuver with the included wheel kit, which I might add have sealed ball bearings which carry the weight and will last. The generator came with a battery tender, a wheel kit & feet, and the propane hose / regulator. Also, another appreciated feature, a remote start key fob so you can start / stop the generator from inside the house...very nice. Oh, and it comes with a bottle of oil for the engine. This was the only issue I had with the generator. After filling the engine with the included oil, the oil level was still low and I had to add a few more ounces to bring it up to midway on the dipstick hatch. The manual is very good but is in error according to their tech support regarding how to measure the oil level. The manual states to insert the dipstick "without screwing it in". The tech support person said the the manual was in error and the the dipstick should in fact, be screwed in to measure the oil level. Really, I could not see much difference using either method, but with the supplied amount of oil it barely showed on the dipstick. I did a lot of research before finally deciding on this Westinghouse 9500DF. We require 220v for our well pump so that limited us to a unit with that capability. I also wanted a unit capable of running on propane so I would have to drain the fuel out or mess with stale gas issues. This generator checked all of the boxes and the price is very reasonable for all that you get. We don't look forward to the next power outage, but we are confident that we will be ready when it happens. I saw a review giving a one star rating and calling the generator junk. Ridiculous! You cannot leave gas in a small engine for two years and expect it start when needed. A generator needs to be started and run for a few minutes every few months. If you don't add stabilizer in the gas, it will go bad in as little as 30 days and will gum up the carburetor. Even adding stabilizer, the fuel should be drained from the carburetor! You can turn the fuel shut off and let the engine run until it stops, or there's a drain screw on the float bowl to drain the fuel from the carburetor too. I am intending to use propane so I don't have to deal with gasoline issues. If I do have to use gasoline, I will use only ethanol free gas as well. The person posting the one star review obviously knows nothing about small engines. ... show more

    • Awsome once everthing got resolved
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
This seems to be a great device once the issues got resolved On Prime day this WGen9500df was on sale for a great price. Unlike my normal and frequent experiences with items purchased from Amazon this purchase was almost a comedy of errors that probably do not lie with Amazon themselves but more with the Mfg. company and delivery service. First off, be aware that if you live at an altitude above 2000 ft. in elevation as I do you will need to buy the high altitude carb kit to change the jet in the carburetor and the high altitude kit for the propane regulator. XPO Frieght was the delivery service for my unit. They called me a week before to schedule a delivery date and time window and told me I had to be there and to expect a call shortly before they arrived. On the day of delivery I recieved text message early saying that they were on the way. After that things went south. Delivery was three hours past the end of the three hour delivery window they had given me, I never recieved a call before the delivery driver knocked on my door saying they had dropped the unit off on the apron of my driveway. Not sure but the delivery people looked like they were perhaps contracted by XPO and to be fair the drivers who were respectful said they were not instructed to call before delivery and were not expecting for anyone to be home to recieve the item, but then said he was instructed to get my signature. I did get the delivery guys to move the unit where I needed it by the house before they left. Amazon sent a message asking how the delivery went. After I replied I got a message from XPO asking what had happened and that someone would follow up shortly after my text response but I have not heard back from XPO and that was over ten days ago. Outside of the high altitude carb and propane kit everything else you need comes with this unit including engine oil, the funnel to pour it in , battery charger, spark plug wrench and wrench for installing the feet provided for the unit. I put gas in the tank opened the gas fuel valve and almost immediately gas started dripping out (about one drop per second) from where the carb is bolted to the cylinder head, not good. I closed the valve and called customer service , used the option where they will call me back when it is my turn. Did not recieve a call back. Called again the next day and did recieve a call back within one half hour. A very nice and very knowledgable lady said that the fuel needle probably got knocked out of its seat during shipping (my generator arrived in what appeared to be excellent condition with no scrapes or holes in the cardboard shipping box) which made perfect sense so I said I will take it apart since I am fairly handy around these things and see if that fixes the situation. I also told her I lived at an high altitude and so she emailed me links to the kits I needed and also instructions to install the carb kit. Unfortunately after first succesfully paying for the propane kit I went on to order the carb kit which was SOLD OUT and realized that both the parts links she sent were for machines built before 2019. I then found and ordered the right kits for both but now also have that first propane kit also that is worthless to me. At only about 10 bucks in cost its not woth the time and effort to me to try and return. Once the parts arrived I took of the carb installed the new high altitude jet which was simple to do and reassembled the carb making sure that the fuel needle and seat were correctly orientated with each other. Opened the fuel valve and no more drip of gas.....great! I looked around but was not quite sure were the propane part was to be installed. The diagrams in the manual do not call out the item and could not find instructions on the company website. Took two more days of trying before getting ahold of a representative who seemed helpful and said she could email me something that day that shows where the part goes, she verified my email address but I never recieved anything from her. I went back to looking around on my own and found that this brass threaded fitting simply screws into the "out" (it is marked) port on the propane regulator that is actually located where you would attach a propane hose to. Now that everything is squared away this generator is great. I really like the remote starter which works from anywhere in my house. It starts easily and runs and powers well. I am guessing that most people would probably not run into what I did, but this was my experience. ... show more
