the delivery company left the box outside of my barn on the driveway in the rain. they did not cover the shipping box with any plastic so fortunately i was home to run outside and struggle to get it into the barn by myself. i cant knock westinghouse for that.
unboxing was simple: install 2 wheels, 2 wheel posts, connect batter cable, and add oil. dont forget to plug in your battery charger and make certain your switch is in the off position on the generator itself so the indicator light is off and not sucking juice from the battery unnecessarily.
Very happy we purchased the Wgen9500 DF. Exactly what we needed as a backup power source for our home. Had it set up and running in less than 30 minutes. Easy to understand controls. This generator has it all.
I bought this to use as an alternative power source for my home in the event of power loss due to hurricanes as I live in Florida. The product is very high quality, started right up. I love the electric start feature and the duel fuel capability which is very simple to change from gas to propane as necessary.
Just received the WGen9500DF and found it easy to assemble. I do recommend more than one person unboxing and assembling, which I didn't do. All parts were there and instructions were spot on. When we get a winter storm I'll need to leave another review but until then, so far, so good!
First time gen owner. Assembled in during a power outage and started. Pretty easy. Auto start and auto choke are pretty cool. Looks like a quality unit.
