Good generator for family!

I bought it a month ago and it's already been part of our family. We have power issues in the area and the generator serves well for the purpose. The best feature I like is the remote started with the keyfobe. Works well and will recomend others who look for a portable generator!

Tri-Fuel versatility, powerful, and portable

I installed this as a whole house backup using a transfer switch. I wanted a Tri-Fuel generator so I could hook it up to the natural gas line when using it as a backup generator, but also use gas or propane if I needed to use it remotely. It is big enough to back up all the important circuits in my house (except for the Air Conditioning Compressor) and still small enought to load into my pickup (by wheeling it up a loading ramp) to take with me when needed. The simple fuel selection dial provides three different fuel options out of the box in case a lengthy power outage makes fuel hard to find.

Great Wgen9500 Generator !!!!!

I bought this to replace an old 5500 generator not a Westinghouse as I wanted a larger one to power my house during the hurricanes here in Florida. Ordered it and received it in two days right on time. What needed to be put together took 15 minutes. Added oil that was supplied and put gas in it and it started up the first time. I got this particular one as it has electric start either with the push button on the generator or the supplied fob. Quieter than I expected. I did this particularly so my wife can start it. I would order another in a heartbeat.

Great Options

I bought this generator for my house as a back up power supply. This is the perfect generator because of the many options available. It can be stored and rolled out when needed, it has a key fob and can be started without going outside or you can connect a smart switch and it will start if there's a detected power loss. Very happy with it and would recommend this generator to anyone who needs a backup power supply.

Best on the market

I reviewed generators myself for several months. Then I checked other's reviews on the internet. Westinghouse came out on top. So far I have just fueled it up and ran a test. A little bit loud. But what do you expect from a 9500 watt machine? I consider this insurance for long term power outage. I live in a hurricane/tornadoes area. I really hope I don't need it, but ....

Runs Entire 2400 Sq Ft Home with 4K HVAC

Hooked up to home using the 50A plug on generator, Twenty foot/ 50A extension cord, Reliance PBN50 power inlet box, 6 ga. THHN wires to 50A breaker with mechanical interlock switch in electric panel. Runs entire home with 4 ton AC. Now for the disclaimer. My 4 ton American Standard condenser is new and pulls less than 40 amps when compressor kicks in. If your condenser is old, or if you can hear it hitting hard when it starts, you may have to install a soft or hard start kit on the condensing unit. I have only tested this for about an hour but cycled the AC on and off a few times and the generator performed very well. I'm in Houston area and the temp was almost 90 with ridiculous humidity when I ran this test.

Great Gen!

The gen. Is great and so far the only problem I had was the way and condition of the box it was delivered in. The two guys that delivered the gen had Destroyed the box. It had holes through out the box and the bottom was wide open. The delivery guy's destroyed the box trying to show me any damage. Even though the box was a mess the gen. Was still in good shape.

Great Home Investment!!

My first Westinghouse generator and this one was super easy to set up with clear instructions and pictures. It started right up by the push of a button, and another great feature, a remote start up! Very convenient. Luckily we haven't had a power outage but this machine will fire up my whole house. Definitely a well made generator, an excellent price point, and peace of mind. I highly recommend this product.

so far so good, it should do the job

received the wgen 9500 from shipper. Box was in good shape. Unit was in good shape. Followed assembly and startup instructions and unit started on first crank from keyless fob. have run it 5 hours and changed the oil. i upgraded from a 7200 watt generator to this 9500 running watt gen for this hurricane season.

Just what I needed

My old generator quit at the worst time. The Westinghouse 9500 is bigger and far more reliable than the other brands I have owned. This model will run the entire house, rather than stringing extension cords and deciding what my power priorities are. No more oakey rigged cords through the window. Thank you Westinghouse.
