Rock Solid

I bought the WGen 9500 a few weeks ago because I live out in the country and when the power goes you know you're in for a long ride before it comes back on. Quite easy to set up and a very solid piece of equipment. It's also easy to operate and comes with an easy to read and understand user's manual. It's something that I hope I don't have to use often but when the time comes when I do have to use it, I have peace of mind knowing that the WGen 9500 is ready to tackle whatever power I do need. Highly recommend if you're in the market for a portable generator

Great price for Open Box Generator

I am thrilled with the price of this generator. My friend had purchased the same product and had it hooked up by an electrician. I will be doing the same thing this week. Thank you for giving a reasonable option to generator backup. I live on the coast in Florida so this is an important piece of equipment to own and have ready.

WGen9550c Westinghouse Portable Generator

I unpacked the generator and then went through the manual provided to understand the generator, its setup instructions, and operational procedure. Following the setup and startup procedure I started the generator and it started right up. The generator has so many advanced features compared to my other generator (20 years old). I am going to enjoy the push button and remote start features and the capacity of 50Amps will allow power to most all of my household loads excluding electrical oven. I purchased the 50A generator so that after installing a soft start on my central A/C unit I can operate it when needed to using this generator. Also, the automatic shutoff features are an added bonus.

Works well for transfer switch

Just got this set up with a transfer switch for the house, and it works well. Set up a manual switch with ten circuits, none greater than 20A. Runs a little more than half the house circuits, no problem. Don't know about the run time yet with regular electrical use, but manual says it should get about 8-10 hours per tank with normal use. Remote start is nice, can do it from inside the house.

WGen 9500 Great generator!!

Great generator!! WGen9500.. Looks nice and well built. Came with wheels,battery and oil. I have used it a couple time for stuff around the house just to run it for awhile. Works great. Waiting to use it for when my power goes out. Did a lot of research on generators and Westinghouse has a great price for the size generator I got. Look to be very well built. You can't beat the 3 year warranty.

Great Portable Generator

I bought the WGen9500TFc generator. It has great features & comes with plenty of accessories. The manual provides plenty of information to keep it maintained & stored when not using. I will use this specifically to power my home/essential appliances, when power goes out during hard winters.

Very Happy

Bought this generator based on a friend's recommendation and am glad I did. The generator is so easy to start runs fairly quiet and has plenty of power for my needs during outages. The wheels were so easy to install, and it makes moving the unit around effortless.

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.

Great Features for the proce

This product will fit the needs of our household in the event of an unexpected interruption to our electricity. I purchased this particular model because of the many features and its ease of use. I hope I don't have to use it any time soon but if I do, this model will take care of our entire 3600 sq.foot home.

Easy Start

I just bought this generator and had the electrician who installed my transfer switch demonstrate how to use it. He was impressed on how easy it was to assemble and start. I haven't needed to use it yet but grateful that I have it in the event of a blackout.
