Bought this for periods when we loose power for a few days at a time. It seems quite adequate for my needs, Being a new purchase I cannot say anything about its dependability, but reputation of manufacture is solid.
The generator just arrived. Easy to assemble. Added oil and gas, connected the battery and it fired right up. I ran it for an hour to start to get it broken in. Pretty quiet.
i PURCHASED THIS AS A XMAS GIFT FOR MY DAUGHTER FOR HER RV- I DID A TEST RUN AFTER RECEIVING AND EVERYTHING APPEAERED GOOD. 3MONTHS LATER DECIEDE TO RUN IT FOFR A FEW MINUTES TO KEEP BATTERY CHARGED UP FOR XMAS AND THE GENERATOR ENGINE IS RUNNING VERY POORLY-SURGING AND MISFIRING CONTINUOUSLY! TOTAL RUN TIME ON NEW GENERATOR IS LESS THAT 15 MINUTES BETWEEN ORIGINAL TEST RUN AND THE 2ND TIME I TRIED RUNNING IT. I AM ACTIVILEY PURSUING TO GET IT REPLACED OR MY MONEY BACK!
With the super freeze last year I decided to invest in a generator and after doing some research I settled on the Westinghouse WGen9500. The set up is super easy and believe anyone can do it. Just unbox, add front legs, 2 wheels, add oil, gas, connect the battery plug and start it. The generator does not sound too loud for its size either. Seems like a great purchase and good value for 9500k running unit.
