Westinghouse 12500 Watt Dual Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start, Transfer Switch Ready, Gas and Propane Powered

I had to order the high altitude kit and installed it before using. Easy set up other than that. Good performance and value for the price. It came with oil and the battery was charged and it started up right away. Don't know about long term performance, but everything about it seems good quality and a solid build.

I purchased this generator to power the majority of my home during an emergency. I haven't tried HVAC yet, but it will run everything else. It came well packaged with no damage to the box. The instructions are straightforward and easy to understand. After fueling the unit and turning the fuel cock to "open", I let it sit about a minute before starting. It fired up immediately. I ran the unit for about 6 hours with varied leads to break it in properly, then ran it out of fuel to avoid having stale fuel later on. I haven't tried the LP fuel connection yet. It seems to be a quality item, well built, and equipped; particularly at the price point.

Great packaging. No dents or blemishes in paint. Easy assembly. Started without any issues. Haven't used it for any emergency outages and hopefully won't have to. Used with gasoline and propane. Swap over was easy. Very sturdy construction.

So far so good. Started right up, runs great. The remote is awesome and the logic to keep trying a restart is even better. Extra bonus of the battery charger that can stay plugged in. This came with everything to get moving, it was the best package I've opened from Amazon in over a decade. The operating manual is something from 20 years ago; all the information you need, good tips and plenty of explanations you just don't get any longer. Seems like a great genny, hopefully the long run will prove me correct.

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.

Arrived early with no damage. Very easy set-up. Everything you need is included with unit, Total set-up time about 30 minutes. Fired up easily no problems. Unit build is very solid, but moves easily. Very impressed with quality and price. This is a replacement for an older generator.

Excelente ! Fue facil de instalar y es perfecto para generar la luz para toda mi casa .

This generator is not only extremely powerful and can drive my entire home, but the setup/instructions and user friendliness are exceptional. I was easily able to set it up and have it running in 30 mins with all tools, oil, funnel provided. The remote start is a great bonus here in Ontario where -30C is a certainty at some point this Winter. The build quality is superb - heavy duty materials, vcery tidy assembly and no loose fittings (yes I checked). There are only 2 small comments I would make, and 1 is something the manufacturer cannot really address without a lot of expense. The item is shipped without the the wheels or feet attached for understandable reasons, and the buyer must install them. Doing this is extremely simple and takes just a minute or 2, but the generator must be turned onto it's side to do this, and it is a very heavy piece of equipment. I am a 200lb guy and no stranger to the gym and I had no issues with this, but it is something to be aware of - if you are not able to handle heavy weights, you will need assistance to do this. Secondly, the website I ordered from said that the generator came with a spare spark plug, which it did not. Not a big issue. Overall, I am absolutely delighted with this generator and would not hesitate to recommend it

I recently purchased the Westinghouse WGen9500DF and I’m extremely happy with my decision. This generator has been reliable, easy to use, and offers great power. The dual-fuel capability is a huge plus, giving me flexibility depending on what fuel is available. It’s also very convenient with electric and remote start features, making it simple to get up and running. Overall, the WGen9500DF has exceeded my expectations. It’s been a great addition to my home, providing peace of mind during power outages. Highly recommend this generator to anyone in need of dependable and efficient power.

Estoy muy contento con el generador, ya que vivo en un área semi-rural y la sufrimos por electricidad seguido. Me provee suficiente energía para respaldar todos mis dispositivos esenciales sin problema. Sólo lamento que el manual no era claro acerca de la conexión a mi instalación eléctrica y no encuentro la página de registro de garantía para México, si me la pudieran proporcionar?
