Easy set up and quiet!

I bought this last month to replace an old generator that came with the house and got the WGen9500DF. Wow. I was impressed with the features on the unit. Circuit breakers, electric and remote start, voltage output display and running time. It even has a plug to keep the battery charged. I have only run it on gas so far but will eventually hook it up to propane on site. I has to be at least half as quiet as the old unit. Its a love hate relationship. I hate to have to use it but when I need it, I love having it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Efficient Engineering

Just received this, so have not used yet. However, the quality of the manufacturing and the efficient engineering is obvious as you unbox the unit. Fit and finish is excellent, and they went that little extra step to insure a good product.

Great so far.

Received in good shape in shipping container. The cardboard underneath had some oil soaked in - not sure of origin, but hasn't seemed to be leaking oil since I filled the oil. Started up right away on propane. Electrician who was installing plug-in to house tested all outlets for power while running, and everything was up to spec. Generator seems very well-designed. The only issue I have is that if you use a 50 AMP generator cord with a male plug that is perpendicular to the cord (most common design), the wheel interferes with the cord as it extends downward from the 50 amp outlet, tilting the plug outward from the bottom as it tries to seat in the outlet. This requires trying to bend the heavy cord at the plug (no easy task). Electrician said that some people will take the wheels off and put the gennie on a dolly, but that seems too much of a PIA to me. Since the tires are solid, I may try to simply cut a notch out of the outside edge of the affected tire for the cord to lay in so that it doesn't have to bend as acutely. My advice to others would be to buy a generator cord with a straight/ in-line male plug if using the 50 amp outlet, which would eliminate the problem. Other than that one design issue, I'm very happy with this generator.

I bought this generator hoping I would never need it, and so far, so good. It was easy to assemble, and seems to be everything I was hoping for. Westinghouse is a brand I was raised with, so Im sure it will be a life saver when called upon.

Incredible Buy

We did a lot of research and I loved that this generator had everything on my checklist for features. When we hired the electrician to install it, he said he would have referenced this one to buy so we feel really good about our decision.
