Not loud as expected!

Bought this for emergency whole home back up and first impression was great with small size but everything accessible. Also reading reviews I noticed people complaining of noise level but it was actually quieter than expected when running on patio. It's no louder than a snow blower!

Huge upgrade from my old generator

This WGen9500 generator appears very well made. It started right up (after adding oil/fuel). I attached a 30 amp plug to my house transfer switch which powered the house right up. I simultaneously plugged a window unit AC and the garage freezer into the 120V GFCIs, with no problem. The electric start is great and the included battery saved me another expense. It's as loud as you would expect a large generator to be, but it's quieter than my old smaller model. I'm very pleased with it.

Great Generator - Highly Recommend!!!

Researched a lot of generators as back-up for power outages, this product is hands down the most powerful at 12,500/9,500 W at a reasonable price. First generator I've owned, wish I had purchased this product years ago. Overall, Great Product and Great Price.

AWESOME FEATURES!!!

This machine will definitely resolve my power outage problems, specially at these drastic changes in the weather, global warming, etc. It's very easy to move around and as that old quote: " Better have it and don't need it, than need it and don't have it".

Highly rated Generator

I did some research before buying this generator. Living in the woods of Maine, it's a certainty we will lose power a few times over the winter, sometimes for days. This generator powers my whole house, including well water pump, so I feel much more secure as winter approaches. Well built. All the features I need, including remote electric start, and quieter running. Very happy with my Westinghouse generator.

Lots of Power

This generator can run my 3 ton A/C, all lights, tv, and another decent load. I can run either the microwave, one stove burner or oven, well pump, dishwasher, and even the water heater. My water heater is on a 20 amp 2 pole breaker and draws about 15 amps. The water heater running with the A/C does pull it down quite a bit but it will carry the load. If I was in an emergency situation I would probably just heat the water in the morning and then turn the A/C on. I'm sure it would not run my electric back-up heat in the heat pump in the winter so I am going to put toggle switches at the unit to turn off the 24 volt signal from the t-stat to the electric heat just in case I want to run the heat pump. I have a gas propane wall heater so I really wouldn't need to run it, but it never hurts to have extra options. Very pleased with the design, power, and functionality of this generator. The battery is easy to access.

Love all of the features

I have an older smaller generator and purchased this one for its size and power in preparation for the coming winter. We have occasional power outages anyway and now I know I have the power to get through most anything. Searched for a while to get just the right unit and I think I have succeeded.

Great Product

Brought this unit in Nov 2022, just now got around to starting it up. Started right up and runs great. The electric start is a bonus for this old man, hopefully I won't have to use the cord to often if at all. Has a lot of great features. I have not tried with any load yet as I am just running it right now.

Excellent quality and features

I bought this generator based on a recommendation from my electrician. Quality product with great flexibility. Easy to operate. I really like the option of being able to remote start and stop the generator from in my house during inclement weather. Assembly was easy with tools, funnel and oil provided with the generator .

Powered my whole house!

Bought this generator to prepare for the next power outage. Installed a 50 amp inlet to my house and use the 50 amp outlet from the generator. After a step turn on process refrigerators, main ac, then mini split ac. All random problem on gas. However with the natural gas line, my primary source from my house, I can only run refrigerators and mini split. However you can start the system with gas and when everything turns on turn the generator to natural gas once peaked. The awesome 3 fuel option makes the versatility second to none. I would highly suggest for any circumstance. Also not that bulky to take camping or power a RV.
