I haven't run this yet, but......

I don't know how well this gen runs or even how loud it will be because I haven't yet tried to start it. I did unpack it and put the wheels on, though. And that led to a surprise: videos of the assembly of this model by YouTubers last year showed more hardware for the axle/wheel set-up than was included with mine. One of the manuals that came with my unit backed that up: per side, there should be two washers, two pins, etc. My unit came with just one washer and one pin and the configuration was different from the Tubers'; even the "axles" were different. I poked around and noticed that my unit was not made in China, as I had expected, but in Vietnam. It looks like there was a change in manufacturing operations earlier this year. (Vietnam is now good and China is now bad, apparently.) I finally found a note in the paperwork about this "new" axle and washer set-up. But nothing is said about having fewer pieces....or why that is the case. You just get fewer pieces and a drawing to match.
Anyway, that entire wheel set-up looks shaky. There is horizontal play along the axle shafts and I'm hoping the plastic wheels don't fall off when I move it.
I'm also suspicious about the swing-up handle. It's easy enough to swing into place, but there is a welded-on stop for the handle on only ONE side of the unit. I don't know this for certain but I wonder if there might not have been two on the versions made in China.
When dragging this beast around the yard, I'm concerned that the left side of the handle will eventually decide to make a break for it. There is absolutely nothing to keep it from going beyond the (non-existent) stop point. Nothing. Nada. The entire weight of the gen is put on the right-side handle stop. At 200+ pounds, it wouldn't take many moves to exceed the handle's ability to tolerate lifting, pulling, and dragging the gen around the yard. Then what? The right side gets wonky and the left side comes apart? (If the wheels fall off at the same time, I'm doomed!)

Provides the backup power needed for the household

Recently moved to a quiet rural area which unfortunately has thousands of dead ash trees. Don't even need a storm for these trees to fall and cause power outages so we needed a good reliable power generator. The Westinghouse 9500 Dual Fuel gives us the ability to run the household and the flexibility of using gas or propane. The unit was delivered in one day and was easy to assemble...only feet and wheels. Here's hoping that we don't need to start it up often!
I would recommend this to a friend!
