    • Excellent Generator with Easy Delivery and Setup
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Title:** Excellent Generator with Easy Delivery and Setup **Review:** This was my first time purchasing a generator online, and I honestly wasn't sure how it would arrive. The delivery process exceeded my expectations—it was fast, well-packaged, and completely hassle-free. I've owned several generators over the years, and this is by far one of the best. Assembly was straightforward, the instructions were easy to follow, and it started right up. I really like the flexibility of being able to run it on either gasoline or propane, and the remote start is a great feature. The generator feels well-built, runs smoothly, and gives me confidence that my home will stay powered during an outage. After owning other brands that didn't hold up over time, I wish I had purchased a Westinghouse sooner. If you're looking for a reliable home backup generator that's easy to set up and operate, I highly recommend this one. **What's most important to know?** * Delivery was seamless, even for such a large item. * Easy to assemble and start. * Dual-fuel capability (gas or propane) is a huge advantage. * Solid build quality and dependable performance. * Excellent value for the money. ... show more

    • Very good quality
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making setup quick and straightforward. All of the necessary tools and oil were included. I connected the generator to propane, and it started right up without any issues. I performed a quick operational test, then let it run for about 20 minutes. The remote start and stop function worked perfectly. I'll complete the recommended 5-hour break-in period at approximately half load before putting it into full service. So far, I'm very pleased with its performance. ... show more

    • Great size, power, and value
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Great generator! It was easy to put all wheels and feet together in like 10 minutes. It has an easy handle to move it anywhere needed including grass or dirt. The duel fuel source option is great because I always have propane on hand for my grill but still have the option for gas.

    • Serious Power, Serious Weight — Worth Every Penny
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
I picked up the Westinghouse WGen9500DF heading into last winter after one too many nor'easters left me without power for 36+ hours. I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger, and I'm glad I went with this one. **Setup & First Impressions** Out of the box, this thing is a beast — 211 pounds, so budget time and an extra set of hands for unboxing. Assembly was straightforward. Westinghouse includes oil, a propane regulator, the key fob, and even a battery float charger, which I appreciated. Within about 30 minutes I had it fueled up and running. **Power Output — No Complaints** I run it off a transfer switch tied to my critical circuits — fridge, freezer, well pump, furnace, a few lights, and my home office. This generator handles all of it without blinking. The 9,500 running watts on gasoline is real — not a marketing exaggeration. I tested it with nearly everything running at once and it never hiccupped. **Dual Fuel Is a Game-Changer** The ability to flip between gasoline and propane mid-run is genuinely useful. I keep a large propane tank for my generator and have run it for extended outages without a single gas run. Propane output is slightly lower (8,500 running watts), but still more than enough. For anyone in a rural area where gas stations may also be out during a storm, propane is a lifesaver. **Remote Start — Love It** Walking out to a cold generator at 6am in January is not something I miss. The key fob starts it from inside the house with no issues from about 75 feet. Works every time as long as I've kept the battery float charger connected between uses. **The One Real Downside: Noise** I won't sugarcoat it — this generator is *loud*. At close range it's roughly 89–90 dB. I positioned mine on the far side of my detached garage and that helps, but neighbors will know you have power. If noise is a top concern, look at inverter generators — but you'll sacrifice raw wattage significantly at this price point. **Bottom Line** For the money (~$999–$1,100 on Amazon), there isn't a better portable backup generator for a homeowner with real power demands. ... show more

    • Looks Great! Should be a little workhorse!
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Review Image by AMAZONUSER3000
Seems well made and assembly was easy and straightforward. I haven't ran it to test it so I can't speak to the function of the generator. It has a convenient handle and wheels for moving which is good because it's not light. There are 4 outlets for connectivity which should make for ease of use. Do forget to add the oil! It ships with oil drained and you must fill the crank case with the supplied oil or you will ruin the engine and void the warranty. ... show more

Review Image by James
This Westinghouse generator is a fine example of how a back-up generator should be designed and built. My use is for a whole house back-up generator that will be semi-permanently installed, ready to go at any time (still doing the install). On gasoline, the generator is rated to start heavy loads of up to 12,500 total Watts (52 Amps at 240 Volts). Or, with just over 100 Amps of 120 Volt starting power available, it can start a collection of 120 Volt devices with motors that can take a little extra time to start under load, such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, compressors, etc. This generator has serious creds and can start/run most household combinations of 120V and 240 V loads. This well-made beauty will last for a very long time. In my opinion, the main reason for its conspicuous strong performance is that Westinghouse has designed-in a very strong 18 HP, 457 CC engine which can readily power typical loads that, on startup, exceeds the continuous rating of 9,500/8,500 Watts (gasoline/propane). A great many generator engines will run out of horsepower during electric motor starts, but not the Wgen9500DF. I've not yet tested the generator with propane because my propane plumbing is not yet complete, but with gasoline the engine has been an exceptionally strong performer. Other reviewers of this genset have expressed no problem with propane, so I expect the same. Compared to my earlier unfortunate choice of a Genmax 7250/6000 Watt (starting/running) with appropriate loads, the Westinghouse 9500DF is far ahead in all aspects, from capability to quality. One obvious example of a significant difference is that the 9500DF is rated to deliver full output at up to 5000 ft of elevation without carb adjustments, which should make it an absolute beast of a generator for starting and running max loads in the areas around sea level. An available high- altitude carb kit enables operation above 5000 ft. Compared with the Wgen9500, the Genmax can deliver its specified output power only when below 2000 ft. A "high altitude" kit is required for anything between 2000 ft. and 4800 feet, it's max altitude. I'm at 4000 ft where the 9500DF has significant reserve horsepower and readily starts and runs heavy loads well within its specifications. The quality of Westinghouse generators is well known and thus are recommended by respected consumer organizations. It only helps that I can easily start the 9500DF at all temps between 24 deg F and 89 deg F, and the remote-start fob works 200+ feet away with a good battery installed. The WGen9500DF dual fuel generator is very unlikely to disappoint, especially with respect to the warranty. The Genmax warranty is only for "substantial defects", and they decide what that means. They require that the purchaser pre-pay round-trip shipping of any generator with a problem to their single US repair location for evaluation and possible warranty repair. My Genmax had a dead display out of the box, but the warranty requires that pre-paid shipping before they would inspect and consider whether or not to repair under warranty. Several phone messages were left at their repair center, but no call-back. Later, after I'd already returned the new Genmax (thank you, Amazon!) and had purchased a Westinghouse generator thru Amazon, Genmax finally called and eventually said that they would provide a free replacement display to me if I would fix the brand-new generator myself. No, thanks. The Westinghouse warranty is simple: If the customer provides for reasonable care and use, parts and labor are fully covered for 1 year, and parts-only for 3 years. There are many, many authorized repair stations, so shipping is typically not required. The only thing that bothered me a little, and this is picky, was that the 9500DF user manual had some mistakes. Someone must have converted another manual and missed 3 or 4 items, such as that, on the cover, the genset is said to be a Digital Inverter Generator (I wish), that it has an ECON switch (nice, if it was true), and a couple other nits. When mentioned to customer service, they thanked me and told me that a revised manual was already in the works. All's well that ends well. If you get one of these fine gensets from Westinghouse, you'll not be disappointed. Westinghouse and Honda set the standard for top-quality generators, but Westinghouse wins the price/value comparisons. ... show more

    • Strong unit! Worth its weight in latinum ;)
Style: 12500 Watts - Dual Fuel
Overall this worked well for us with recent tornado outbreaks in the midwest...loss of power for our business for over 24 hours, with over 10 fridges and freezers, including a -70C freezer! It did get pushed to its limit, several times popping breakers as we tried to figure out how much load on each circuit to place (we did this ahead of time when we first set it up, paid an electrician to come set it up with a 50 amp breaker board that then fed into the main breaker board...but we added several extra fridges since we 1st had this set up and it pushed it to the limit). But it survived, didnt die, and most importantly for us, kept all our fridges and freezers going for the duration! Our business would be out of business if it wasnt for this! Now we just need to tweak the setup and perhaps add an auto transfer switch! We used 120gal LP tank and it lasted easily long enough. Although LP has a little less power and if wenhad the extra power then we might have been able to run the AC for the building at the same time, once all the fridges and freezers were up and running! Good little unit. Total cost with electrician included was under $2k. With transfer switch it wouod run about $2k. The automatic switch would be under $2500 total. Beats the $10k or more cost for the full building generator install at Lowe's/ etc. We also used an exhaust pipe to vent out of the warehouse out back too, so we can have enclosed when needed, although some fumes were still smelled, so we left the back door open to ventilate. Not ideal to run it indoors, but you must have a vent pipe going outside if so! It is still loud though! We tried adding a cheap muffler to the pipe and it didnt do much to muffle the sound. Oh well, nice thought! But the main thing isnt the sound as it is the gasses! Specifically CO! ... show more
