I live in Florida and figure that with the way 2020 is going to so, we're likely to get blasted with hurricanes all summer long, and my 6250/8500 generator of a different brand is not going to cut it for my family if we lose power for an extended amount of time. So I sold that unit and purchased this beast. First off, this is a great value, I looked at similar capacity generators from all the other major brands and this is the best value for power and overall features. The unit was delivered to my driveway and after unpacking I was able to put the wheels and feet on in a matter of minutes. I followed the instruction manual for adding oil, connecting the battery, pairing the remote, etc. I added about a gallon of fuel for the initial break-in. It started up pretty quickly - the starter had to crank it about 5 or 6 times before it fired initially, but it has started on the 1st or 2nd crank every time since. My initial impressions are very positive, it appears to be a very well built unit. It is noisy, but all non-inverter generators are noisy, and I actually think it is slightly less noisy than the older, smaller unit it replaced. Next step is to have an electrician install a transfer switch, stock up on beer, and then we are storm ready, and the beer will stay cold through it all!

I have not had a chance to put the generator to the real test yet but it was easy to put together out of the box. It starts with the greatest of ease and is not all that noisy for a generator that size. My neighbors cannot believe its foot print is as small as it is. I purchased this unit in case of hurricanes and hope I never have to really put it through its paces. It is almost like buying an insurance policy!

I purchased this WGen9500 generator a few weeks ago.I have done a fake drill power outage and this generator is capable of doing my house plus my well pump which I'm very happy for.I ran it for over an hour and no problems what so ever! I know they make bigger and smaller generators but this WGen9500 with peak of 12500 is just right size for my house and even got some spare power.Wonderful machine.

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.

Bought this generator a few months ago. My electrician finally hooked up Inlet box to my breaker box the week before Hurricane IDA. I lived off this generator for 9 days in New Orleans during and after Hurricane IDA. It even powered one of my central air units. Central air used to much gas so I mainly ran 110 window units. Im currently in the process of adding a natural gas option. The remote start is awesome. I would recommend this generator over a whole home generator because a lot of people for IDA could not run whole home generator because natural gas was shut off due to uprooted trees affecting gas lines.

This is a great generator come with all the accessories was very easy to put together. Started on the first try. Run my whole house without a problem. Did everything it say it would do plus more. Love that is has a 50 amp connection to run more of my home appliances. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone looking to buy a generator.

We were about to buy an installed, natural gas whole-house backup generator, but the trenching, new 400 amp service (electric company requirement), and on and on added about 50% to the already high price. This will keep us going through our too-frequent power outages and keep the heat on and the refrigerators and freezer running, and we can always take it somewhere if we want. I do plan on installing a tri-fuel converter, and this generator will easily allow that without cutting the frame of our new generator. We don't have propane but do have natural gas, which will be far easier than carrying and storing dozens of gallons of gasoline.

Purchased product a short time ago and have used for several hrs with no issues what so ever.Living remotely in maine, we loose power frequently throughout the winter months and now feel very secure knowing we have the stand by power. I am very pleased with this unit and look forward to many years of use.

This product exceeded my expectation. It was shipped safely, arrived on time and was delivered where I needed it. The generator itself works perfectly. It connected easily to my house connection. I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend to others.

Purchased this after going10 days without power and needing help to start my OLD generator. I'm 92 years old and using this push button start and having a remote starter device gives me such peace and assurance for our next power outage. THANK YOU!!!!
