1 unboxed the unit which was packed very well. Assembly was easy, gassed it up oil was added. I removed the spark plug and pulled the manual cord just toget things inside moving and lubed. Reinstalled spark plug, turned on fuel, set choke, moved switch to run. hit start button but the battery (which had cables attached at the factory) was not charged enough to turn unit over. 2 pulls on the manual cord and it fired right up. Very happy so far.
Just finished assembling the wheels and feet. Added oil. Nothing complicated. Have not started the unit yet but the unit appears well made and heavy duty. Will follow up after first use.
After spending a month of reading reviews and manufacture hiccups I decided to give the Westinghouse 9500 a chance. Its has been amazing. I've owned this generator for 6 months now and it runs everyday without an issue. I recommend this unit 100%. very well made in the USA.
