Received the machine today, quite heavy, can not be dragged on the floating floor. I have to cut the carton on the drive way, attach 2 wheels, it's very easy to move and drag to the backyard.
After carefully reading the instructions, I filled the engine with oil and it was just full. First I installed the engine with a propane tank and then started the engine. The engine starts very easily, a bit noisy but I think it's OK.
Then I filled up the gas tank, switched to gas mode and started the engine with the remote. It's also very easy to start up.
I am very happy with this start. Tomorrow, if I have time, I will try to connect the power's output to my office to see its capacity.
After much research on the internet, I found the perfect generator for my needs, the Westinghouse WGen9500DF. It had all the features that I was looking for that included both gas (9500 Watts) and propane (8500 Watts) fuel options, electric and manual starting, fuel gauge, and multiple AC electrical outlets. It also included several accessories such as wheels, engine oil, a funnel, tools, 12V battery charger, and a key fob for remote starting. The best part is that I found a really great deal on the price. You can't go wrong with this unit!
So far this generator has been absolutely amazing, tested it out today when it arrived on the house and then I also tested it with my welder and plasma cutter. this thing handles a load without you even noticing you are getting the power from a generator. would absolutely recommend to anyone that is looking for piece of mind during hurricane season or is looking for a job site unit for running tools and equipment. also a lot quieter than others that I have owned
