Came shipped with no issues. Easy setup and started right up on 1st propane test. Quiet compared to my last generator. Love the key fob, look and feel of this westinghouse wgen9500df. cant wait to test what it will run in the house.
Easy to put together. Started right up on propane test. Runs great and quiet compared to my previous generator. So far truly like this product and would recommend based on 1st use, price and accessaries
I purchased this generator to replace another aging Craftsman generator that I have had since 2004. I live in Florida and need to have a reliable generator that can power my entire home during power outages. This one fits the bill. Gas or propane can power this generator. I hired an electrician to install a power box next to my electric meter and two double throw 50 amp circuit breakers in my existing power panel in my garage along with a generator interlock switch. Now, instead of running extension cords, I do the following to power my home using the Westinghouse generator. Turn off the main power switch (next to electric meter) to my home and then turn off all of the circuit breakers. Move the interlock switch to allow the generator circuit breakers to be used. Flip the two newly installed generator circuit breakers, and plug in the generator to the power box and turn it on. Then, I turn on all of the circuit breakers for my entire home one at a time. Everything in my home has power. This includes all rooms, appliances, and the central A/C unit. Way to go Westinghouse!!!
The unit was very easy to set up and use. It was a nice touch that it's shipped with the tools and items you need to get going, like the oil needed since it's shipped without engine oil and a funnel to fill it with.
I ran it on LP to try it out and started and ran smoothly. The controls and plugs are well-designed and easy to use.
I bought this generator a month ago and i love it. Very satisfied. It powers up my whole house. I am definately recommending it to my friends and family
