Easy to unbox, super easy to assemble, and started up right away! Glad it has a larger gas tank and more power. Our electrician was impressed with it, and the remote starter! (Just remember to buy your power cord, we got a 50amp 20ft. cord on Amazon.)

over all quite a unit - been like 15-20 years since last purchased a generator. quite a few improvements - bought the wgen9500dfc and it handles pretty much everything i used on it - except a/c - just havent needed a/c since i bought it. electric start is quite a luxury and it worked flawlessly in 10 below weather! Even though this generator is twice the capacity of my old one - its quieter. really like the option of dual fuel, and can hook it up to just about any electric configuration someone has. it was 99% assembled - only had to put on the wheels - really cant say enough about it. never thought i would say this but really, really like the plastic wheels. pneumatic wheels sound great but reality is a different story - over time they always loose air, even if its stored off the ground, and if you have the generator over time the tires end up with dry rot. this generator isnt any harder to push/pull than my other generator with pneumatic tires(had to go thru snow and uneven frozen ground). there are some minor issues which I havent liked. the on off switch has a plastic cover over it - i find it alot more difficult to flip the switch on and off because of the plastic cover. when turning the unit on there is an yellow light that comes on - a yellow light on all my other tools means - caution - something isnt right or ready - why not a green light. my generator is usually stored in a shed with no power to charge the battery - is it a 12 volt - can it be charged from a car - from a battery power pack - no mention in the manual about anything. the manuals - its kinda lacking at times. mine states thats there is a ECO mode switch - but there isnt one(manual is specific to my model only) and lastly my pet peeve - there isnt any dedicated way to drain the gas from the gas tank. i may loose power 10-12 times a year or a may not need my generator for 1.5-2 years. so i have to always drain out the gas and its a pain the way it is set up. lastly things just arent explained well in the manual - like this has a circuit breaker on it - but never explains what its for or when to use it - my last generator didnt have one - do i use it for everything? my generator is wired directly into my electric box – which has all circuit breakers so why do i need it - do i only use it for 120v electric cords? then we have the bonded neutral - which they tell you absolutely nothing about other than contact your electrician - i contacted 2 - the one that worked on my electrical connections and i contacted another - and neither knew anything about it. most of these are just part of a quick learning process - but could be better explained and in no way should it keep you from purchasing the unit. also i bought this because of the lower harmonic distortion that this generator has over other generators. over all this generator is a beast and am looking forward to many years of use

This generator is well made and has some really nice features. Electric start, wheel kit, voltage/frequency/hour meter. It even comes with a trickle charger to keep the battery charged. The owners manual is very detailed and the maintenance section is informative. The gas tank is steel, not plastic. I was impressed with the build quality.

I received this earlier this week and was able to unbox it and get it set up and tested today. Everything was included as promised including the wheel kit and oil. It started right up and ran perfectly. I bought this to run my deep Edwards well and our pressure pump and tested it out this afternoon and everything worked fine. I kicked myself for not being prepared for our recent outages but I am ready for next time.

I just received the generator and it looks very nice and well built. I haven’t run it yet but when I do I will post another review. The only thing I do not like about it is the <23% THD which is very high and I am worried about running any of my electronics with it.

Just purchased for home backup power source. Very easy assembly and setup. Well constructed and excellent features. Fuel economy is perfect for my application and allows 12 hours of operation with the substantial fuel tank. Documentation is 100% with complete parts listing and maintenance procedures.

Generator ran well on start up. Getting it ready for home back up. Great that it came with a 50 amp connection. All the features are easy to get to and easy to understand ,comes with a great owners manual. Longer handle would make it easier to move. Overall happy with Westinghouse.

We just purchased this after our last power outage. We pulled it out of the box, set up instructions were easy to follow and it fired right up. It came with oil and all that was necessary except the gasoline. Love that it came with a remote start and are so happy about the peace of mind it gives us to now have this stored and waiting for our next outage.

After my family experienced the ice storm in Victoria, TX last year, I knew I had to do better. Having a wife and three young children, I felt helpless with no water well pump, internet, septic, plugs, switches, or any type of cooking appliances available. My brother and I installed a 30A transfer plug to my panel recently. After days of researching, I decided on this generator because of all the reviews stating to buy bigger than what is needed, for a buffer. I am glad I have that comfort zone. I received it today, assembled it in 10 mins, filled with oil and gas, and pushed the start button, it started right away. I let it run for about an hour and stopped it with key fob. So far so good, very satisfied so far. I will update.

I have a lot of experience with large commercial diesel generators (100 KW+) and portable generators such as this one. It took less then 20 minutes to setup by myself - with the help of my tractor to unload it. I have only run mine for a few hours to start the break-in and try it out. It is quieter then the name brand 8 KW open frame gen it is replacing (the 8 KW reached the end of it's service life) and looks like it will be much easier to service with a better layout. From what I have seen so far, I am really happy with my purchase, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better portable generator of this size for this price - it is a good value. I am pretty confident it will serve my needs as my backup gen for my off-grid homestead for many years with proper service.
