Fit and finish is really nice. Really good looking generator. This unit is quite a bit more quiet than my Champion generator with a similar sized engine. Westinghouse really did a nice job of not only muffling the exhaust but also somehow making the motor and alternator quieter. I dont have any decibel readings but it is noticeably quieter. I just received the generator a few days ago so I dont have much time on it but it fires right up and does what it is supposed too. Remote start is a nice treat. I would definitely recommend this generator.
After much research on what emergency generator to buy for my small farm place I decided on the WGen9500DF. Dual fuel was a must for me because the LP option allows it to sit ready to go without worry about shelf life for fuel. This machine is everything I hoped it would be. Dependable, easy to use, and simple set-up when it first arrived.
While I have not used the generator for its intended purpose as a power backup, the set up could not have been easier. After quickly installing the wheels and resting pads, all I had to do was add the oil, connect the battery and the propane before pushing the button on the key fob. It fired up immediately. I am also impressed that they include a battery charger that simply plugs into a port should you need to use it. Very impressed so far.
