I bought this a couple weeks ago and it was fast delivery. I unboxed it and put the wheels and legs on filled it with oil that came with it and used the funnel that came with it. Filled it with unleaded gas plugged in the wire to the battery set the choke put the on off switch in run pushed the start button and it fired right up. I had it going in less than 30 mins. . I ordered all the supply's to connect it to my house power for emergency back up power . I love the way it starts up so easy with electric start and the remote fob. Thanks Westinghouse for this great Generator.
I spent hours mulling over which generator to buy. Finally decided on the big WGen9500. This should have plenty of power for my whole house when mother nature cuts us off from the grid. Same basic dimensions as most open frame generators but it is darned heavy due to its huge capacity. It is not quiet, but similar to a 4000W other brand that it is replacing. The 30 Amp L14-30R fits with my existing long cord and wall inlet so I don't have to make any changes right away. However, in order to use all of the power I'll have to upgrade everything between the generator and the house panel. Why have 12,500 peak amps if I can't get it to the house?
Setup was quick and simple. Wheel kit and feet took only a couple minutes. Filled it with oil and some gas. Connected the battery with the quick connection now included. One push of the electric start button and it was off and running. Same with the remote start fob, didn't even have to pair it with the generator. The manual start was not the first pull start. Have to give it a pretty quick yank to fire it up with the pull cord. Nice to have multiple options for starting.
We'll see how it does when we lose power and really need it, but great so far. I never give 5 stars but might want to rethink that after putting this through its paces.
