Was delighted to find all the tools I needed to put it together and a full liter of oil to boot! Instructions clear. Minor unknowns in the booklet cleared up quickly with the toll free help line. It is a large and heavy unit but moves relatively easily with handle and provided wheels. Started up first try with full power. I also purchased a 30 amp 4 pronged 25 foot cord with four twenty amp outlets. Both unit and cord worth the purchase. I appreciate the dual fuels with cleaner burning propane more easily stored and without the need of fuel stabilizers to counteract long storage of current gasoline products.
This is a follow up review. I have been using my new WGen9500DF generator for a week and it has not skipped a beat. Perfect in everyway, no complaints. It runs flawlessly on either gasoline or propane. On a cold generator using propane, it take 2 start attempts to get the generator primed for starting, but it starts on the second or third attempt. When the generator is warmed up, it starts immediately. I have used propane generators for years and I consider this normal start-up procedure for a propane generator. The starter battery has plenty of power, and the automatic start sequence does a beautiful job. I've connected the generator to my generator transfer switch and ran everything in the house, except central air, with no problem. Instead of central air I use three window a/c units which provide plenty of cooling for my 1,800 sq./ft home here in Florida. I am very happy with this generator and I would certainly recommend this generator to anyone in the market to buy one. Thank you Westinghouse for building a phenomenal generator.
Just purchased this generator for a home backup. Have only ran it for 7 hrs with no issues. It powers my 3 1/2 ton home ac and 4 120v circuits with power to spare.
We have done the basics run with it per instructions and seemed to do a great job. We have a transfer box in and were able to run a large amount of house on this generator. The generator is a good size. Not terribly loud and with the wheels can be moved around semi easily.
It seems to be a very high quality unit. I have put it together added oil and started it with propane which worked well. Unit is easy to transport considering it's size. Unit has very nice features. Have not put it under load since I need to purchase altitude kit which was the only disapointment. Should have had option of buying unit ready for altitude.
