Neighbor helped me set it up. Started it with an estimated 1/4 gallon of gas and it ran for 35 minutes before running out of fuel. It is very quiet for its power output. My neighbor owns another brand, only a bit more powerful, and couldn't believe how quiet the Wgen 9500 is.
Bought after Hurricane Dorian brushed by FL as my prior generator was underpowered and pushing 10 years old. Very happy I found this Generator. Build quality is great, set-up was easy, and is loaded with features I didn't know existed. Generator isn't whisper quiet, but is much quieter than my 5,000 coleman.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their generator game.
I bought this unit to keeps the lights on and other things when the power goes out. I bought it because it looks well built and because it will handle what I need. I went with Westinghouse because they have been around for quite sometime and make quality products!
Was easy to setup and impressed with multiple starts and no choke. Did not open gas line (should have read instructions closer) and first attempt timed out. Reread instructions opened gas line, pushed button and fired right up. Hook up to transfer switch for an outbuilding which includes ac unit and water well. All worked great.
This generator is very easy to operate. I just wired my home for a direct connect/transfer switch and when the electrician connected the generator it ran the entire house without a birp. Even the central AC worked fine. Highly recommend this generator and thanks to Westinghouse for making it affordable.
