I have not had a chance to put the generator to the real test yet but it was easy to put together out of the box. It starts with the greatest of ease and is not all that noisy for a generator that size. My neighbors cannot believe its foot print is as small as it is. I purchased this unit in case of hurricanes and hope I never have to really put it through its paces. It is almost like buying an insurance policy!
I bought this portable generator to power my house in Texas during hurricane outages. The installation and set up were easy as the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Upon completion of the set up instructions the generator fired up first time using both the push button and remote start fob. I highly recommend this generator for homeowners.
I like this generator because it comes with everything to run the generator, including wheels and spark plug wrenches, and even funnels. I first considered buying a cheaper one at a cheap tool shop, but even after the other generator's discount this Westing House one seemed cost-effectively better because I would have to buy a wheel kit and battery separately if I had bought the cheaper one. That is, it wasn't actually cheaper. Plus, the WGEN9500 comes with several wonderful features, including the remote starting functionality. One thing, the remote starter key fob was tied to the pull cord (for manual starting) when it was delivered. I couldn't find it at first because I thought I would find it in the manual packet or the accessary box. When you assemble the wheels and feet, see the attached pictures. It would be easier if you open the box from the bottom and attach one wheel and the 2 feet first. Then, stick in some pieces of lumber under the generator. This will help support the generator while you attach the other wheel without leaving scratches on the frame.
