Just Tested House Hookup - So Far, So Good

I wanted to be able to power critical components in my house and garage including two (2) freezers and my refrigerator as well as lights, fans, well, TV. I fired up the generator with no issues. The push-start is so much better than having to hand-crank. Surprisingly, the generator is not as loud as I expected it. My older 5200W aftermarket generator seems twice as loud. I tested connectivity to my house today and all devices worked great. I was even able to use the microwave. The only exception were the two (2) UPS connected to my TV and network devices. Even after adjusting sensitivity on these UPS, they still don't like being on generator power and switch back-and-forth between generator power and battery power. I understand an inverter generator is needed for this type of equipment. Overall, I feel very well prepared that I won't have to sit in the dark during hurricane season. I'm very glad I purchased this product.

Started on First Try

I live at 4,000 ft and need to change the carburetor jet. It's not simple but the video instructions are good. My only reason for removing a star is that the operators manual is not clear on when you need to unbond the neutral from the frame (consult a qualified electrician is not helpful) and doesn't give you a sticker to indicate this, if you do so. My generator ties into a Backup Power Transfer Meter, so yes, they recommended unbonding the neutral.

Great Features

This generator has great features. multiple fuel supplies, battery start, remote start, built-in handle, complete accessory package with everything you need to install wheels and supports, oil & funnel. I can't wait to fire it up. Also important is this generates 60HZ which is what every appliance in your home uses in America. All I need is a transfer switch and a few breakers.

Great quality

This generator is built very good. Handle and wheels make for easy moving around. Engine and generator look very well built and it is packaged nicely in the frame. It has handled very well so far. I highly recommend this machine to anyone that looses power often. This thing runs my entire house.

WGen9500C runs great and does everything it suppos

I purchased the generator a week ago after my 22 year old generator stopped working. This generator is much better and the technology has come a long way. This generator has remote electric start, included battery and charger and an extra 2000 watts to boot. It started right up and does everything it is suppose too.

FIRED UP RIGHT AWAY!!!

Just got this in!! Added oil and gas..Fired right up with the remote start!!! Excellent so far!! I'm up in the foothills of CA and PG&E is cutting power all the time now. Had a Genarac 3600 But decided to go with a bigger stronger unit. Going to be hard wired into the panel in a week. So far so good!!!!

New Generator

We bought this and it was delivered a few days ago... just got gas in it today and it starts right up ...no pull start just push a button. We have had power outages that have lasted 7-14 days due to weather and it was miserable.Bought this generator after reading reviews and talking with sales people.Glad we bought it .....seems like a very good investment !!

Must have for Houston Weather

After hurricane Beryl ripped through Houston we were out of power for 6 straight days. We asked around which generator was the most reliable based on others experiences during that time and found that the Westinghouse was the most reliable generator from the pool of people we spoke to. Out of the box this generator is easy to assemble and very movable. We did buy a tent for the weather when operating but I recommend storing in the garage. The only weak point of this design would most likely be the battery. I will most likely replace the battery for a higher CCA rating and add corrosion resistant product on the terminal. I'd also wrap the wiring near the battery with electrical tape for added protection.

Very Well Thought Out Generator

I am very well pleased with the layout of this generator as well as the items included which others might consider accessories such as a battery and battery charger, a wheel kit, and the hoses and connections for propane and natural gas. These hoses had quick connect fittings as well. Of course there is the option to use gasoline and it is a large tank. The wheel kit was attached in less than 5 minutes. I believe it will suit my intended use very well.
