Performs as Advertised, Easy to Set Up and Operate

Purchased this June 27th, 2024. Arrived today and I had it unpacked and set up in about 45 mins. Ran it on gasoline for trial run and operated some power tools without any issues. The manual was simple to follow and covered all of the questions I might have had. The unit started right up after connecting the battery and pairing the remote. I am planning on using propane once my cylinder arrives and I can get a fill. So far I am very happy with the ease of use and I like the versatility of having 3 fuel choices.

I love this generator!

I got this generator around April 2020, and love it. We got it to use for the normal summer power outage we usualy have during the heavy thunderstorms we get. Haven't had to hook it to the house yet, but we have used it camping and it works great. This generator has powered everything we've hooked to it without any problems. After assembly, filling with the included bottle of oil, and gas (not included of course), I used the recoil starter (pull cord) first to see how many pulls it would take to get started. To my surprise this thing fired up on the first pull. I didn't think the gas had enough time to fill the carb when it fired! The electric start worked just as good. The remote was easy to program and works well. I only have two, very minor, inconveniences to mention to ensure this is an complete and accurate review. Neither of which would prevent me from purchasing this generator, or any other Westinghouse product, in the future. The first is the oil capacity. 1.1 L/1.16 qt. This capacity leaves you with almost, but not quite, a quart of oil floating around until you need to change the oil again. I wouldn't be against buying a 1.1 L bottle of oil from Westinghouse if it was available. I might even pay a little extra for the added convenience of not having an open oil bottle to keep track of for a couple of months - just a thought. The other is that the open end wrench in the tool kit (I was surprised that it had a tool kit, so this is definitely NOT a complaint) doesn't fit the oil drain plug on the engine. Neither of these would prevent me from buying this generator over again, or any other product from Westinghouse in the future. Overall, I LOVE this generator!!!

Piece of mind for a rainy day

We got this to help keep critical parts of the house powered during loss of power. Pros: like that it came with oil and a properly shaped funnel to fill the reservoir. It is also nice that it came with a cord to keep the onboard battery charged so it doesn't die between uses. Cons: would like for the generator to have a load meter so we can easily see how heavily it is loaded. Other brands we have used included an easy to read load gauge.

Easy to assemble and use.

Box was damaged when it was received, but the delivery guys and I saw no damage to the product. Was easy to assemble and I tested the pull start, electric and remote start. They all worked great. The unit had a wire that was broken (I think the low oil sensor). They are working to help me with it so I have no real problem with the generator.

Awesome

Got this as a back up in case of a hurricane. Delivered to my door in 2 days. Easy assembly w good instructions for oil, gas, battery and maintenance. Electric start is a dream. Started on first cycle. Hope I never need it but it's exactly what I need “just in case.”

Easy Setup/Good quality

Straight from the box, we were extremely impressed. It was very easy to set up and get ready. We haven't started it yet but I will update as soon as I have ran it. Tons of excellent features. There wasn't a single hesitation when ordering this generator versus the others. Such a great price point for such an excellent machine. I love that they offer a bonus item for reviewing since it encourages others to leave those helpful reviews we all look for when deciding on products. This generator has TONS of great reviews and very impressed customers. I won't even be upset if Texas gets another snow storm this year now.

Great affordable Option

We've been losing power randomly for small amounts of time (6-12 hours) and were tired of not having power. This Generator along with a 50amp transfer switch provides enough power to the "essentials" of our home and more at a very affordable price compared to whole home set-ups.

Looks Great!

The generator appears to be well built and sturdy. Even though the unit is large and heavy the handle for moving and the wheel assemblies are plenty heavy enough for easy location for the day that I need it for power loss situations at my home. Lastly, everything I will need to connect to my household natural gas system is included in the provided set up supplies as well.

I was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is!

I just unboxed the generator, filled with all fluids and put wheels on! Instructions are easy to follow Fired it up and was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is! This is the 9500 watt generator! I am replacing a 9500 watt champion generator that is so much louder! I needed a generator with a 50 amp plug and this is perfect for my needs!

Love the way the generator operates with easiness.

This is a great product to ensure that I have power incase of an outage. It will operate mostly all items in my house. It is very easy to hookup and runs very smooth. I love the all the extra features it has such as remote start and the large fuel tank makes refilling a dream.
