This brand received high ratings when I was doing my research. It was fairly straightforward to assembly. The manual needs to be updated since the battery connection is now done differently since the leads are already connected to the posts. Now the wires to the battery are connected by male and female connecters half way along the lines.
After we lost power for a week following a major storm, I decided we had to pony up for a portable generator.
The Westinghouse house brand is widely praised so I went with the biggest unit that could still fit in the corner of my garage (the WGEN12000DF was simply too big).
I have only done some initial testing, but so far this thing is very impressive! Well built, great features, and the ability to use both gasoline and propane is excellent. Also love the remote start feature.
My only negative about the WGEN9500DF is the fact that it allows up to 23% THD. I have numerous sensitive electronics so there is definitely a concern there, but otherwise this thing is excellent.
Well built unit, nice finish. Runs smooth. I added 5w30 synthetic oil before running for the first time where we live in Maine because of the below 0 temps we get during winter
some say too heavy but i like that its built of steel and not plastic parts. dont want something cheaply made. easy assemble was nice. every thing like bolt holes linedup perfect.
