Plenty of power & price was good

Bought this after experiencing a 5 day power outage & trying to keep the house livable using a low power generator. The 9500 watt output of the WGen9500 will allow me to cool or heat the house & also power other appliances. Having it shipped to my door is just a few days was great. The wide array of power connections makes it easy to meet specific needs. The remote electric start is also a bonus.

Solid Value

Had been considering a portable generator for whole home backup since the 2021 freeze and finally decided it was time after this year's derecho. Not two months later it was put to use after a hurricane. I was pleased with its performance once I figured out the fuel selector knob was stripped (still waiting on a replacement). Thankfully a monkey wrench did the trick. Overall no regrets, except maybe I should have gone with the 11500.

Just like my smaller Westinghouse generator.

Very easy to assemble wheels and rear feet. Started up as soon as I put in oil and gas. If this is as good as the smaller westinghouse generator I have been using for years I will be very happy with this purchase. If anyone asks me for a recommendation I would reccomend Westinhouse

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.

Seems like a well built unit

Assembly was a snap. Generator was well packaged and showed no damage. Filled it with the oil that came with it and the battery was fully charged on arrival. Waiting for my electrician to install the panel interlock, breaker and outlet. I'll update once I have the gas line installed. Plan on running it on NG.

Easy to use and great in a pinch!

My wife and I purchased this generator because we live in a location that many trees have been dropping on our power lines. We had an electrician wire a box so that only our essentials (a light or two, refrigerator, water heater, etc) are drawing. The setup was easy and for the price it is wonderful to have the knowledge that we are safe. We have used it for a few years now after both summer storms and winter nor-easters and we have no complaints!

First time buying it. Started Right up

Bought this back on November 14 and it was delivered on the 22nd. Extremely fast shipping! Started it today for the first time once I had my generator transfer switched installed at my house. Quick and easy to install the wheels and feet. The only issue is the wheel placement and the 50 A wire. It sort of sticks out at an angle, not giving a flush fit. I might remove the wheel when I have it plugged in just to make sure it's a flush fit. Other than that it was a good experience. I will buy the the generator tent too, have to prepare for this crazy Texas weather.

Got the power we needed for most of our home

We are running the generator to try and break it in so that we can put the cold weather oil in. The instructions say it does not work so well in cold weather. I called Westinghouse, which was not so easy to get through to and they said do not worry about it just keep it well maintained. Not very comforting to say the least as we get sub zero weather here. I tried to E mail them on this issue and they have never answered. It does seem like a fine machine though. it starts right up. I should review it in a year after we go through the cold weather. To be fair my research shows generators dont like cold weather. Pay attention to the pinch point on the handle which is well marked. I didn't and dang near chopped off my thumb. Follow the warnings!!

Great features, excellent gas capacity and run tim

I ordered this during the last ice storm in North Carolina. The one I was using had issues during that storm. I have this one set up and ready for the next storm. The only negative I found was the instructions did not instruct me to hook the wires from the hot battery cable. I called the help line and after directions from the help line, proceeded with no additional issues. It started right away with the manual start.

Nice compact powerful unit.

I bought this unit as a back up power source for my home. It comes with all the bells and whistles you would need. The assembly and operation manuals are easy to read and understand. Assembly only consists of putting on the wheels and 2 feet. The unit is a little heavy but easy enough to move around. The 3 starting options are nice. It has a remote start FOB, pull chord and electronic push button. All and all, a nice unit.
