Great Features

This generator has everything I would possibly need to operate my home in the event of a loss of power. I chose a gasoline only generator because my home doesn't have access to natural gas, which made the purchase cheaper and/or allowed me to purchase a generator capable of producing a greater amount of wattage. After my 3rd time of being without electric I knew it was time to purchase one and the research and reviews pointed me to Westinghouse generators, and the price allowed me to purchase the size I need to operate all the essentials would need in a power outage!

ease of set up and use

Received the generator this morning and within an hour it was up and running! Detailed instruction manual was clearly written. I can't wait to try the remote start and down the road I'm going to use the Transfer feature which was one of the selling points for me. Great job Westinghouse!

Fuel flexible unit - helpful after storms

Bought generator about a month ago. Read instructions, assembled, added oil and gas, turned the choke and the ignition to “on”, moved outside of shop, hit the starter and she fired-up immediately! Very impressed with quality - not surprised though; I worked in the power plants for 34 years where all of our Westinghouse generators were known for their performance/stability. I've lived in Florida all of my life and this purchase was a great addition to my collection for hurricane season preparedness; as well as other various reasons for portable electricity. I highly recommend this unit!

Powerful Generator, Easy Set-Up, Relatively Quiet

Purchased this generator following my last generator giving out during a power outage. Generator is very easy to set up with good instruction manual. Battery came charged and was easy to connect. Remote control for easy starting easy to connect. Have not fully placed a ton of load on it yet but it is more quiet than my prior generator that was rate at 5000W. This generator is also more quiet than other generators I have heard rate at the same wattage. Good build quality and easy to move once wheels are installed. Started up easily with first pull and required less effort than my gas powered lawnmower. The remote control start and electric start via the button also started the generator on first try as well. Overall will recommend to anyone needing a generator of this power.

Just put together - Good so far!

I bought this online thinking I was getting the dual fuel, but they had changed the deals and I hadn't noticed. It was still a good deal, so I decided to go ahead with the order. The delivery was relatively quick and the box was in good shape. (They would not take the skid with them). The instructions were pretty clear, so I put it together and it started right up. The on/off button did not shut it off, and I haven't done anything with the remote start yet.

Wgen9500 portable generator

I bought this today and it was so easy to put together. 10 mins max! Install wheels,oil,gas and plug in battery she started right up. Glad to know I'll be protected by Westinghouse during our next power outage. Which is pretty often here in south Louisiana. Thanks Wish for protective vinyl cover instead of power strip :0

So far satisfied

Purchased just over a week ago, finally got to start for the first time tonight. Once fluids were added, it fired up right away using the push button start. Ran for about 15 minutes and tested a 120v tool which worked flawlessly. Will soon be testing my 50A transfer switch for emergency power. So far pleased with the simplicity and smooth operation. Looking forward to many years of peace of mind.

A Family Item

Our son owns a WGen9500. They have had the opportunity to use it during a power outage. He said it did all you would expect, has great features - particularly the remote start. They have four boys, ages 3 to 15, and having emergency power was great. We could not ask for a better review or recommendation than that to base our purchase on.

VERY CONVENIENT USE AND OPERATION

I bought this generator last year and have had the occasion to use this multiple times since. The ease and convenience of startup and operation was very surprising and the remote start fob is a big bonus. Fold up/down handle makes it quite easy to maneuver to your desired location and tuck away to minimize the space needed.
