5.0 out of 5 stars 9500DF Generator
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024
The Westinghouse 9500DF generator looks like it's really well built. It was very easy to assemble and started immediately. Tried it with propane and gasoline and works perfectly. It's not as noisy as other people say. The battery was fully charged. Very easy to move around. I only had it running for an hour and hardly used much gas. We're very happy with the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great generator
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024
I used this on my ag spraying trailer. It charges my DJI T40 batteries, controller batteries and also runs 2 120v pumps. It handles the load well. It’s not crazy loud but it is a generator so expect some noise.
Super easy starting, has a choke for the cold. Has a remote controller that starts and stops it when needed. (Super handy)
I will update when I run it all day in the summer on the fuel consumption.
It does have the dual fuel. Gasoline or propane. Only down side to this (my fault should have read the description more) the propane doesn’t put out the same wattage as gas. I think it’s about 1,000 watts less on the propane.
Also has great wheels that seem like they will last a long time, nice handle for easy mobility.
All around great generator for what I needed and I’m very happy with it. Especially at the price of 999.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cost efficient power and reliability, for whole house backup
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024
The Westinghouse 9500DF generator is an indispensable asset for whole-house backup. With dual-fuel capability and a robust 457cc engine, it delivers 9500 running watts on gasoline and 8500 running watts on propane. This ensures uninterrupted power during power outages. I like its compact design, control placements, and safety features. I tested it on propane & gasoline and it started up straight away. It appears to be a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for electrical power during power outages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Features!
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024
Generator was purchased as a backup charger for my off-grid solar system. Excellent features and power output, and runs on both gas and LP. Easy to set up and easy to use. Large wheels and folding handle makes this very easy to roll around. Lots of features like quick battery disconnect, remote starting, comes with initial quart of oil, oil funnel, wrenches for assembly and oil changes, etc. Only issues I have had is ordering the high altitude kits. Had to reach out to Westinghouse support to find the right kit, and then when the kit came there were no instructions for installation. Website has instructions for the carburetor conversion, but the LP conversion instructions are no where to be found. LP kit came with four orifices but did not include a chart to indicate which orifice to use for my altitude. That's kind of important!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lifesaver in Times of Need!
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024
I recently purchased the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Dual Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator, and it has exceeded all my expectations. Living in an area prone to power outages, I needed a reliable generator to ensure that my household stays powered up during emergencies.

The dual fuel capability (gasoline and propane) caught my attention, providing flexibility and options in case one fuel source is not readily available. The 12500 peak watts are more than sufficient to handle the power needs of my home, including essential appliances and electronics.

Setting up the generator was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions provided in the manual. The electric start feature makes it incredibly convenient, eliminating the hassle of pulling cords in challenging weather conditions. The compact design and sturdy wheels allow for easy maneuverability, making it simple to position the generator where needed.

One of the standout features is the automatic voltage regulation, ensuring a stable and reliable power output. This is crucial for protecting sensitive electronics from potential damage during power fluctuations.

I've tested both fuel options, and the transition is seamless. The fuel efficiency is impressive, providing extended runtimes without constant refueling. The low oil shutdown feature adds an extra layer of protection for the engine, giving me peace of mind.

During recent storms that caused power outages in my area, the Westinghouse generator performed flawlessly, keeping my home well-lit and powered. The noise level is reasonable for a generator of this size, allowing for comfortable use without disturbing neighbors.

In conclusion, the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Dual Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator is a reliable and powerful solution for anyone in need of a backup power source. Its dual fuel capability, ease of use, and dependable performance make it a valuable investment for ensuring peace of mind during unexpected power outages. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars This generator gets everything right
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024
This generator gets everything right. It exudes quality. Good design, solid construction, rugged components, all in an incredibly compact size. Everything you need is included, including a quart of 10W-30 oil (that was a complete surprise!), LPG hookup hose, remote starter key fob, wrench, oil funnel, wheels and feet, screws, and more. The instructions are complete and comprehensive. The battery even comes with a full charge! All you need to provide is gas. They recommended a fuel stabilizer, which I added to the tank of gas. The setup instructions were easy to follow, and it was a breeze to start. All you do is push a button and it starts right up. No hesitation and it ran smoothly. Keep in mind it’s well over 200 lbs before fuel and oil are added, but the rugged fold up handle makes it simple to move around. The wheels and feet are sturdy and heavy-duty, so I’m not worried about how it’ll handle being moved about. So far I’m quite happy about this generator. My son has had the same model for several years and he loves it. I’m looking forward to the peace of mind this will bring me and my wife.
