lots of power for your $

I've only had it a few days, so it hasn't been put to the test.... yet. The 9500 running watts and a 50A circuit are plenty to keep the lights, refigerators (yeah we have 2) and even the central air running. Come winter if we lose power we'll be in even better shape. I've never met a portable generator that starts without the choke, till now. The remote start is awesome if I'm not home the wife just has to point the remote out the window if the need arises (obviously I'll have everything hooked up and the battery switch on prior) so in the event of, I don't know, a hurricane (like the one that just passed through this week) she doesn't need to go out in a downpour if I'm not here. I honestly wish it held some more gas, not that 6.6 gallons is small. As long as it runs through the night I'll be happy. I also like the handle, much sturdier than other generators. The large wheels give it enough ground clearance that I can pull it over a curb if neccessary. I'm looking forward to putting some load on it and seeing what it's got...... not that I want the power to go out, we'll find something else ;)

Easy set up and initial start

Clear, easy to follow instructions for set up and initial start up. Generator started first time and ran smoothly. Everything looks good. The unit is easy to move, once wheels are installed. I expect good reliabilty, that is to be seen. I purchased this unit due to very good reviews and the Westinghouse reputation.

Easy to set up and operate.

Within 30 minutes you are up and running. I chose to use the 50 amp vs the 30 amp so I could make sure to run my whole manufactured home which is about 150 square feet and was able to run the whole house with air conditioning also and had plenty to spare.

vERY VERSATILE MACHINE

I bought this generator after the hurricane that came through. My old one was not working and got this. When it came in I was able to hook up and power the house quickly. Instructions easy to read and work with. I was rigged up at home for a 30 amp and was able to use it and run everything I needed and kept freezers and fridge running. Will be wiring up for the 50 amp when I get the chance. Thanks for a great machine.

Great generator

We experience power outages frequently where I live and I needed something to offset that. My son works from home and has to have internet. I am glad that I purchased this generator. Have only had it for about a month and it has already been of great use. It's a work horse.

Great Portable Generator

I bought this portable generator to power my house in Texas during hurricane outages. The installation and set up were easy as the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Upon completion of the set up instructions the generator fired up first time using both the push button and remote start fob. I highly recommend this generator for homeowners.

Nice features

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.

nice generator

Nice generator, but wheel support had to be re-welded to support the wheels, still the wheel support needs to be more sturdy. shipping was awful, shipped in a normal shipping box with no support for the very heavy generator. as a result there were dents in the generator.

Great features - simple instruction - ez start

We live in Florida right near the coast and this will be a blessing when the Hurricanes hit and we loose power. I followed the simple instructions for gas & oil, I put the wheels on and started the generator 30 minutes after it was delivered. I checked all the connections and everything works perfectly.
