great features and easy to set up and get started

It's hurricane season in Fla and I needed to replace my old generator. This Westinghouse generator was just what I was looking for with the right balance of power and easy-to-use features. Once I unboxed it, putting the wheels on and the other supports was a snap. Took five minutes and once I filled it up with oil and gas, it started up perfectly the first time. This generator is easy for one person to wheel around and provides enough juice to power the important things I need powered should a major storm blow through and knock out the power grid.

Enough to power whole house

After adding oil and fuel and putting wheels on, it started up and ran perfectly right out of the box. Haven't been able to get the key fob remote start to pair but I'm sure I will when I become more familiar with this model. NOTE: pay attention to instructions for the break-in period. You'll have a better, longer lasting machine for doing so.

ELECTRIC START!!!!

The peace of mind this generator gives me is second to none. The key fob is awesome, I can start it from my 2nd story bedroom window, I will use this to run most of my house, I'm sure it can handle the whole house if needed. Quieter than expected so that's a major plus. Looks awesome also.

Storm ready !

I've owned several generators over the years, but this one by far has seem to be the most versatile. Being in Texas, we often find ourselves out of power So having a good reliable source gives me great comfort that my family is safe and my property stays safe as well.

Monster for a Neighborhood with Frequent Outages

After researching portable generators for quite some time and suffering through frequent power outages (a 6 day one last fall) we finally bought the WGen9500. It's a beast and everything the other reviews say it is. It will soon be wired into a manual transfer switch. Neighbors already came to see it and realized that doing this in the fashion we are, is a lot more cost effective than the large automatic ones that can cost 5K. I'll be building a sound reducing enclosure for it before the winter. Glad we finally have it!

Nice looking unit.

Just bought it, but it really seems to be a well built generator. Hooked it up to propane to begin with and it started right up. Does a good job of powering the house and shop. Mainly want it for lights, freezers and refrigerators and it does good for that. Bring on the bad weather....... I'm ready for you now.

Outstanding Capability

The generator packs a lot of power for a relatively small piece of equipment. It stores in the corner of the garage. While putting the generator together, we ran into a slight snag, so we called Customer Service, which was amazingly helpful, kind and actually enjoyable to work with. The part we did not find in the bag (the key) was tied to the ignition in order to better protect it from loss during shipment and assembly. During the call, Adam offered several other tips to help get the most from the product. We hope we don't have to use it, but we feel more prepared this year going into hurricane season in Florida.

Beast of a strong generator!

I bought this generator after recent hurricane in Houston. It arrived sooner than I expected. It is a super-sturdy generator. I added the oil, hooked up a propane tank, and 30 seconds later it was running. Very pleased with this purchase and I highly recommend it!
