Arrived in five days. Easy to install the wheels and legs. After filling the Oil and Gas and connecting the battery it started right up with the remote. Unfortunately there was a crack on the plastic covering behind the control panel. I am working the Westinghouse to get this repaired.
This generator looks well made, transfer switch ready, 50amp with remote start. Haven’t used it yet, waiting for electrician to hook it up to house. Got this for hurricane season, hope I never need to turn it on.
I have extensively researched portable backup generators for our house. The Westinghouse line of generators beats out everyone else in both price and quality. Unfortunately, the 50amp outlet on the Wgen9500 did not accommodate our elbow/flat/angled cord due to the design and location on the generator. There were also missing parts! I had to take away one star because of those two issues. I still highly recommend Westinghouse generators to everyone. Be sure to research your cord types to see if they are compatible with the generator outlets and thoroughly inspect the box to make sure all contents are there. I am going to order another one and try the Wgen9500DF and hopefully have better luck :) I will leave another review when I receive the replacement.
This was a very easy setup and use product. I am a first time generator owner and was able to assemble wheels, better, oil, and fuel in less than 30 minutes by just reading the manual. It is currently running and breaking in nicely!
This is a very high quality machine with lots of ports and accessibility for various types of setups as a home portable generator. Very excited about this purchase.
