Bought this earlier in August as preparation for possible hurricane outages as I live in suburban Houston area. Installed interlock on main panel and 50 amp generator inlet box as well as purchasing 50 amp rated cable for generator to inlet box. Tested last weekend to see what could be powered simultaneously. I found that I could power my 5 ton AC (be aware mine is true variable speed and doesn't have high inrush current) as well as 2 fridges, 1 deep freeze and adequate lighting for 4000 Sq ft home. The generator I solid in construction and has functioned flawlessly so far, having tested it at up to 40 amps to verify 9500 watt running watts.

I researched generators for several months before selecting the WGen9500 & I'm very happy with this generator. The packaging protected it during shipping - the product was defect-free. The directions for assembly were very clear. All parts were included and fit properly. After assembly & upon filling with oil & gas, I opened the gas line & pressed the remote. Since the factory charged the battery & already paired the remote with the generator, it started right up. Westinghouse has done a great job creating a product with the right features & making it easy for the customer to use. I'm ready for the next power outage.

Bought this after 4 days no power due to Hurricane Helene..... I won't be without power again. This is a beast and will power everything critical in my house. Maybe not all at once but gets all critical circuits together. Pretty heavy but that's expected with the capacity. Would definitely recommend to anyone shopping for a generator.

We purchased this generator a couple weeks ago when we had our electrical updated at our home and added a pig tail connector for easy use during our frequent hurricanes. Timing was everything and we just experienced Francine and were able to use our new, right on time, generator. The size is fantastic and we were waiting in comfort for our services to be restored. The ease of use was a pleasant surprise and we are thankful for our good decision to purchase!!

Easy set up with no extra tools needed. Poured in the included bottle of oil. Removed the spark plug and placed less than a teaspoon of oil in the cylinder wall and pulled it 10 times to distribute that oil. Reinstalled, spark plug. I then hooked up to a propane bottle and hit the remote start button started right up. Ran flawlessly for one hour with no power hook up. I then began to vary the wattage from 750 W to 3500 for 15 minutes and shut it down. Will continue to break in less than 50% rated wattage for five hours and then change the oil and it should be ready to go for the big load.

Purchase this generator about 15 days ago and I'm very very happy with the way it was packaged. All of the information regarding operation and set up were spot on. The generator started on the first try for the electric start and runs very well. I would highly recommend the purchase of this generator for the quality and cost.

Everything on this generator was easy to set up. All parts and instruction were clear and detailed. Minimal assembly required. Battery was fully charged and it started right away. Experienced no fluctuation in power when running lights and power tools. Great product.

Motor stopped running after a few hours of use ( oil and gas are fine , thanks). Will not restart , and the “emergency recoil starter “ cord will not pull at all . Control panel lights indicate CO detected but the unit was running out doors with no obstructions. Support for this unit is very sub-par . Do NOT waste your money on the WGen9500.

Ordered generator on Saturday and received Tuesday in good condition. Read the excellent manual and quick setup guide. Put in oil and gas then charged battery a bit. Turned on gas valve and start switch. Pressed starter button and started generator. Light was flashing on start button then I pressed start button on fop and switch light turned green to reflect pairing. I ran the generator for 5 minutes and checked output. This is a great generator. I didn't have to mess with the choke to start it using the fop or start button. Later I plan to connect to natural gas for fuel. Also it fits in the cabinet I purchased for my 4.4kw generator. A bonus there because it connects to my transfer switch, grounding, and solar panel for battery charging. I may add to review after testing natural gas connection but overall I am pleased with this generator. Ed

I shopped and compared dozens of brands and models before deciding on the WGen9500. My Dad has had the WGen7500 for a couple years with no isaues, so I had some confidence in the Westinghouse brand even though the generator itself is made overseas (Vietnam). My purchase was to upgrade from a circa 2005 Coleman Powermate 5500 that served me well they many power outages. I was shocked that this 9500 watt generator was not much larger than the old Yamaha MZ300 powered 5500 and is actually noticeably QUIETER! Will be running it thru its paces soon after I complete a thorough and gentle break-in. My primary concern would be the THD rating -- Specs indicate up to 23% THD which would be disasterious to sensitive electronics and also would be rejected by battery backups/UPSs which I use many of. Anxious to see the actual noise level in the power output.
