Great generator

I bought this as a back up for the house if we have a power outage.The workmanship is excellent. Easy to assemble. I was hesitant about the weight, but it is pretty easy to roll around. Started right up. So far I have only used it to run small items,and it does that with ease.

Everything I expected and more!

After being disappointed with another brand of comparable size, I decided after reading 2 independant reviews of the top 5 and top 10 portable 12K generators to purchase the Westinghouse WGen9500 (which is 12K start up). The attention to detail was the first thing I noticed as I unboxed it. After attaching the wheels and base legs and putting the oil (which was supplied) in the crankcase, and 1 gallon of gas in tank, I pushed the electric start button. It took between 2-3 seconds to start and ran smoothly. The first thing I noticed was the quietness for this size generator. I have 2 smaller generators and it is quieter than either. The remote start feature is really nice. I went in the house which is 40 yds from my shop, hit the button and it started immediatley. Hooked a load to it and it performed flawlessly. I bought it for power back for my home but have not hooked it to transfer power and test it yet, since I have only had it a few days. It is also very easy to move and manuever with the big wheels and handle. I am very impressed and would recommend it to anyone who needs this size generator.

Easy to use with lots of features

Getting the generator out of the box was super easy. The instructions were easy to follow. Directions for maintenance are thorough, and everything is easily accessible. Lots of great features. I was very exited about the tires that can't go flat. running the generator charges the battery for remote and push button start. There is also the option of a plug in charger.

Well Pleased

We bought this product in February. We got it set up and did a test run. It met our expectations. Then we had a five-hour power outage a short time later. We were prepared and got our essential equipment set up. We were well pleased with the operation and performance of this generator.

Great right out of the box

Shipping was less than one week. Unboxed the generator, filled with oil, filled with gas, and hooked up the battery fired up with no issues whatsoever. Runs great I am very pleased. I will update my review as I use the generator. My serial number tag however it was obscured from shipping. It was scuffed and could not read the entire number.

So far so good

I hooked up the generator to my natural gas line. I've only done the break in and it works as expected. I like the push button start. It would be nice to be able to drain the oil without tilting the generator since it's so heavy. The wheel installation is definitely a 2 person job.

Rugged Product

I bought this generator about a month ago as a back up power source for my home and I am very happy with it. I received it 3 days after I ordered it. This generator is well built, sturdy, and has great features. It was very reasonably priced for the features, power, and build quality. I am sure it will serve our needs very well.

Great Features Easy to use!

I bought this for my husband and myself of course, as we live in a rural area, that tends to have several power outages, from rain & wind storms to Snow or ice storms. We have been left "in the dark" too many times, I did some searching for generators, and looked at MANY reviews, and this one seem to have the best, and what we were looking for. It has enough running watts to run our chest freezer, sump pump, refrigerator, furnace, lights and more! has a push button start, even a key fab, It is very user friendly. It is not too loud, We now are not nervous during storms in case the power goes out, this generator can run 17.5 hours on a full 6 gallon tank of gas. I highly recommend!

So far so good

Full disclosure… I haven't had the need, thank God, to attach this generator to my panel to run my house. That's the only reason I can't give it a five star rating as of yet. It was incredibly easy to set up. Even the oil was included in the packaging. It started right up whether I cranked it, pressed the button on the unit or started it with the fob. The features on this thing are absolutely fantastic. It's so user-friendly that I've started it up multiple times since that first day just to keep it primed. Hopefully I will never have to use it to power my house, but I have confidence that it will give me no problems should I need to. Great product!

Three fuel sources, electric start remote start

I just got my generator and it was easy to assemble, it started easily and alot quieter then my last generator. It powered my tablesaw, mitersaw and my full size refrigerator easily for two hours. I also like the color. More later after hurricane season.
