I PURCHASED this brand generator due to my knowledge of Westinghouse history.I've been around along time,so have they,so i like all the features on my we9500df generator.Have not much use of it yet,but i'm not worried about it performance.
We have yet to try it during a hurricane, but this unit was recommended by several people who have and they say it powers their house without any trouble. We intend to use it in that way and to power a small camper during power outages.
First, it's easy to set up. Just follow the instructions and you'll be up and running in no time. We are using propane mostly and don't really intend to use gasoline unless we have to. Once the oil is in (don't overfill) and you set it for propane, and go through the startup procedures, starting and running it is a breeze.
Time will tell on reliability but again people who have this tell us it should work out. We feel much more prepared now that we have alternate power during the aftermath of storms. Our hurricane preparedness just went way up!
Worked fine for six months and then died. I thought thought it was a bad battery but charging the battery made no difference. The battery indicator will light up slowly but the Push-Button START/STOP will not come on and the engine will not start.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
