I like this generator because it comes with everything to run the generator, including wheels and spark plug wrenches, and even funnels. I first considered buying a cheaper one at a cheap tool shop, but even after the other generator's discount this Westing House one seemed cost-effectively better because I would have to buy a wheel kit and battery separately if I had bought the cheaper one. That is, it wasn't actually cheaper. Plus, the WGEN9500 comes with several wonderful features, including the remote starting functionality. One thing, the remote starter key fob was tied to the pull cord (for manual starting) when it was delivered. I couldn't find it at first because I thought I would find it in the manual packet or the accessary box. When you assemble the wheels and feet, see the attached pictures. It would be easier if you open the box from the bottom and attach one wheel and the 2 feet first. Then, stick in some pieces of lumber under the generator. This will help support the generator while you attach the other wheel without leaving scratches on the frame.

This thing is so powerful. We are living in our RV while building a house and needed power until the county would give the temp elec permit. We had no experience with generators and wasn't sure what to get, but we knew we needed something to run our 30amp RV in the middle of a HOT southern summer, power the 1.5hp pump for our well, and charge our Nissan Leaf. (Oh the irony of using a gas generator to charge an electric car!) This generator has done all that and keeps on ticking! We use the 50 amp plug for our RV (using a 30amp to 50amp cord), use the 30a plug for our well pump, and the 120v for our car. Occasionally you can hear the generator bog down, but it's never tripped the breaker. It HAS shut off a few times on it's own, but now we understand its nuances, have adapted our behavior and have only had one actual issue (will detail later). - The CO monitor is very sensitive, so make sure it has lots of air space. - It shuts off if the oil is getting low. We've had to refill oil twice in the 2 straight weeks of use. So keep a eye on the level. We use about 10 gallons of gas each day to keep it going about 22 hours/day. (We like to let it rest a couple hours if possible.) Going to have our propane hooked up to it by the gas company tomorrow. It is loud. We have 12 acres of land and no one around us, so we don't feel awful about running it constantly. But it is annoying to have that constant hum in the background. We have it as far away from our RV as the RV extension cord will allow, and we've set up a few sound buffers between here and there to help drown out the sound. So it's not awful, but registers at 59dbl. We've also set up a shade tent over the generator to keep the sun from beating down on it. Not sure if that's needed, but it makes us feel better. We just need about 2 more weeks of use out of it and then we can store it until needed as a backup generator for the house, should power fail in the future. But I definitely feel like it's been a great value and has been so reliable. The one issue we've had: the electric start has already given out. It seemed a bit touchy from the get go, but was reliable once we figured out how to push it just right. However, the last couple of days, it just clicks when we push the button and doesn't start. We've had to start using the manual pull. I've seen a few cases online where a quick warranty claim was needed for the switch; looks like there may be known issues with it. Will add my claim to the list. Overall, we've been extremely happy with this generator and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

This was our first home generator purchase, and we're glad we went with the Westinghouse WGen9500TFc. The generator is built to last - the frame, components, and design are sturdy and easy to assemble. Everything is clearly labeled so that you are best prepared for your first use. We love the tri-fuel option to leverage multiple options should the need arise. This generator has multiple additional functional and safety features that make me feel confident in my purchase. We gave it a test run and did not encounter any issues.

Just received this today, so maybe jumping the gun with 5 star, but it looks to be a great hi output generator. Followed the quick start procedures and it started in a second. Let it run for awhile and connected to my whole house outlet. No problems so far. Remote start and battery charger are great features. Had to rope crank the old Generac.

I received this item two weeks ago and have used it about 4 times. It seems to be delivering promised performance. The User Manual illustrations of the GCFI circuit breaker are lacking a bit in that you need to push them in about 1/8th inch and listen for a click before they are actually activated. Once I figured that out it has performed well so far.

Purchased generator to operate basic farm house needs. ,plus my coolbot cooler in barn. Simple setup with all the tools provided. It does a good job , quiet, steady and efficient. Since I bought it I have already had 2 occasions where I needed it for 8 hour power outage.

I reviewed several portable generators and nothing matched all the features, power and price this one did. Upon arrival I inspected the box, no problems found. When opening the box everything was nicely packaged and complete. I followed the instructions leading up to starting it, it started the first time with no problems.Very pleased!!

The generator packs a lot of power for a relatively small piece of equipment. It stores in the corner of the garage. While putting the generator together, we ran into a slight snag, so we called Customer Service, which was amazingly helpful, kind and actually enjoyable to work with. The part we did not find in the bag (the key) was tied to the ignition in order to better protect it from loss during shipment and assembly. During the call, Adam offered several other tips to help get the most from the product. We hope we don't have to use it, but we feel more prepared this year going into hurricane season in Florida.

I bought this a couple of months ago in order to prepare for the winter. I’ve only had to use it once but I love it especially the remote start capability and it’s got 50 amp plug instead of just a 30. Awesome purchase I just love it. Getting ready for spring storms which can bring power outages. But I am ready!

I found out the hard way during a power outage you get what you pay for in generators. My cheap generator quit when I needed it the most. I bought this quality Westinghouse unit and couldn’t be happier. It is heavy duty, pushes any load I would ever need, and is full of features. It even has remote start and an included battery trickle charger. Pay a little extra and get a good generator and don’t get left out in the cold like I did!
