This unit was very easy to assemble - add wheels and legs and you are good to go. I found the instructions easy to follow, with clear guidelines on what you should and should not do. It started the first time using the electric start in under 3 seconds. At 9500 running watts, I can power a good portion of my house via a transfer switch (not yet installed).

Well designed unit and offers good value for the price. Had a problem with the remote fob. I was sent a replacement in 4 days. Only problem? Westinghouse offered a free cover for writing a review. Turns out they ran out of the covers. So no free cover. Come on Westinghouse, make some more and follow through on your offer...

I've spent almost a year comparing the different manufactures that are similar to this generators size. After many hours online researching and videos online, the Westinghouse generator is the only brand I will trust for the safety and well being of my family when our power goes out. I work for a utility company and I'm not home when the lights go out, so having a generator I can prep and have ready for my wife and kids is my top priority. The remote start is fantastic and works without hesitation and the fact that this generator is transfer switch ready means I don't have power cords running all of the place where my 4 year old and 1 year old are at risk of injury. I'm even going to get one for my father to replace his 20 year old generator because I'm so impressed with my unit.

After researching extensively we decided to purchase this generator. It has so many features not found with competitors. Unpacking and assembly were a snap and the operating instructions were clear and concise. It started quickly by push button remote as well as operating control panel start button and manual pull start. Will have plenty of power for emergency power outages. This generator is very well built and an excellent choice for the price. It also came with the battery charged, oil and a tool kit for changing plugs. I'm confident this generator will do all that's required of it.

My previous 7800watt generator lasted about 18 years so the bar is set high. This Westinghouse generator is now 2 years old and works like it just came out of the box. The peak power to >12k is awesome. I have a large 2 story home with well pump, central air, 2 freezers, a frig, computers, tv's, etc, and I can run all of them on this generator without any issues. I have had to use twice, once for 6 hours and once for 12 hours, and both times it ran great. It is quieter than my previous generator and moves around easily. Great product!

I assembled the 9500 today- very easy and it came with oil and tools needed. After adding oil and gas it fired right up at the pus( of a button. It is quiet and is just what I need for weather related power failures. It is powerful and has a many coolness features for a fair price.

I bought the WGEN9500 to plug into my transfer box and run my whole house. I bought the unit in an emergency situation and have been unable to test it fully, however the amount of time that we ha e run it and in the limited capacity of use it performed very well.

I bought this for emergencies should the power ever go out at the house. The majority of the house is ran on natural gas so I feel as this will get me by with the basics. It was nice because it pretty much came with everything you need, including a battery tinder, besides fuel

I bought this unit after a heavy rain storm and tornado outbreak downed power lines all over the county. The power was out for 48 hours and then intermittent while new poles were being placed for a total of 5 days without reliable power. I chose the 9500c to ensure I could run most equipment in the house for extended outages. I am happy with the ease of assembly and the clarity of the owners manual. Detailed instructions on short term storage and long term. There is a separate quickstart procedure sheet with a complete maintenance schedule on the back. Assembly tools are included. It is very heavy but the wheels seem very heavy duty and hold the weight, making this easy to roll out. Remember to always get bigger than you think you need so you have room to add and not have to get another generator.

I bought this generator to replace our old one that stopped working during our last storm and am so glad I did. I liked the fact that this is an electric start because my old one was a pull start and too much work. An added plus is the key fob that allows for remote start- no more running outside to pull start! Unboxing was quick and set up required putting feet and wheels on, connecting battery and adding oil(which was included) and gas. It was fairly quick and simple and directions are easy to follow. I couldn't wait to test it out. A few people mentioned how loud this generator was but I am sat it is no longer than any other generatorvi have heard and there are quite a few in my neighborhood. Starting was unbelievably easy. Key fob remote start took just a hold down of start button as did electric start but the real winner was how easy the pull start was- one pull and it started right away. This was such a a pleasant change from our last generator that took many pulls. I like the digital screen that tells you volt output, frequency, and lifetime hours to keep you up to date eith real time info and maintenance needs. There is some important information to know regarding the breaking in period but everything is clearly stated in manual. The manual states that the generator will run for 12 hours on the full 6.6 gallons of gas. The lift up handle and wheels makes it very easy to move around. I have to say I am looking forward to our next power outage now that I have this. I highly recommend!
