The Westinghouse WGen9500TFC is a solid choice if you’re looking for a reliable backup generator. I’ve been using it mainly for power outages and occasional outdoor events, and it’s got some serious juice—9,500 running watts and a whopping 12,500 peak watts. It’s plenty powerful for keeping essentials like the fridge, lights, and even a small AC unit running without breaking a sweat. Setup was surprisingly straightforward. It’s got an electric start, which saves the hassle of manual pulling, plus remote start (nice bonus when you don’t want to step outside). It’s a bit hefty at around 220 lbs, but the wheels make it manageable enough to move around. For a unit this size, expect some noise, but nothing that feels unreasonable for the power output. One cool touch is the transfer switch-ready outlet, making it easier to connect to your home setup. Compared to similar generators I’ve tried, like the DuroMax or Champion models, the Westinghouse feels like it’s built with just a bit more attention to detail. That said, it does gulp down fuel, so be prepared for frequent refills if you’re running it for long periods. Overall, it’s a reliable and powerful option for anyone looking for peace of mind during blackouts or wanting to power up outdoor events. Just keep an eye on the fuel gauge!

After getting a panel upgrade and generator disconnect switch installed on our home, our electrician recommended this generator as it has more than enough power to keep our AC/appliances/etc working during an outage. So far we have tested it a few times and it works like a charm. Would buy again if needed and have already recommended to a friend who's been looking

Bought this to run my Miller 211 welder, and it works like a champ, plus I use the remote on/off when working on the roof, so I don't have to run up and down a ladder, and I save fuel plus run time. I also like that the generator charges the battery while running.

I did a lot of research before purchasing/ordering this Westinghouse generator. It arrived quickly and after installing the wheel kit, and adding oil and gasoline, it started on the first try. It runs quiter than my old generator, has many more features and will provide more watts. It seems bad weather events are occurring more frequently in our area and this generator will provide the needed power my family and I will need in the event power is lost. Thank you Westinghouse!

I bought my father-in-law the dual fuel model last year and just purchased my own gas-powered version. It has been incredibly reliable and easy to use. Runs quiet and trouble free. Worth every dollar, especially when you lose power for two weeks like we just did after a freak snow storm!

As a qualified electrician of more than 24 years, a lover of quality craftsmanship, and a highly critical individual, I can undoubtedly say that I am very impressed with this fine piece of electrical machinery. I would recommend my Westinghouse 9500 to anyone. Powerful yet portable. Classy yet simple. I'm looking forward to many more hours of increased and uninhibited production thanks to this one of my best investments yet. Thanks Westinghouse!

good instructions on assy and start up. the 50amp rec was the feature i wanted most as i can connect directly to my panel from plug outside home. the engine is not as loud as other generators i have used before.over all great generator with best price per features

Needed a generator for a construction site and none were local due to hurricane Laura. I purchased this and was surprised it arrived in 2 days. Easy assembly and started right up. Great output but was skeptical given the price point.. Lesser units were $500 more in local stores if they were in stock. Great features and a 50A plug so cant wait to fire up the welder with this baby. Only used it one day on the job but worked great and love the remote start feature. That is going to be a huge fuel saver as we only need to run it when we need it. I cant comment on longevity yet but it is a solid unit. Ran saws and hammer drills without any problems.

We have been kicking around the idea of buying a generator for fifteen years or so, and we always seem to wait until a power outage, when they are already sold out, to pull the trigger. This time, we finally took the step and based on reviews by other buyers, plus the size and output, we chose this one. We had it delivered to the house, and once I opened the box, I was able to set it up and start it in about 20 minutes, which included reading directions. We have not used it in an emergency yet, nor have we had it on a trickle charger for any length of time to see how that works out, but the key fob starter worked like a champ, as did the start button on the control panel.

I searched 100s of generators and I'm happy with the choice I made. Assembly 7 mins. Started first try using my beautiful remote. It's also a lot quieter than I expected. It's not like a loud noise but like a fine piece of machinery running :) I purchased this to run my DJ equipment and I needed the right power to weight ratio BAM!
