Just unboxed and inspected. Looks well built and easy setup. Getting ready to operate. Purchased as a backup for power outages. Decided on WGEN9500DFc after reading many reviews. Just going thru the break in period.
Just tested it after assembly. I am well satisfied with the results of the test it ran my home. The real test will come when we need it most during a power outage.
I haven't fully tested this yet, but my "out of the box" experience has been flawless. Slapped the wheels on, added oil, added a tiny bit of gas. Stepped back, hit the remote start button, and voila! Started first time out of the box. Ran for a second or two, then died. Did I mention "tiny bit of gas"? After a few seconds, the generator *automatically* tried to restart. I hit the remote stop and it gave up. I added a bit more gas this time, hit the remote start button and it started right up. This kind of experience gives me confidence in what the future holds for me and my new gene(rator).
I bought this as a replacement and upgrade in running watts. Very easy to put together out of the box. Easy setup. Detailed instructions and accessories to add oil easy and running in less than 30 min
I have needed to upgrade my generator and am glad I went with Westinghouse and their WGen line. High quality and economical. I look forward to years of service.
