Bought this mid August after having a power outage for 6 days. We decided we do not want to be without power that long again. We are hooking this up to natural gas but tested it on propane and it worked perfectly for our whole home, except for running the air conditioner which we can live without. We live in a rural area and are on well water and this ran our well pump with no problem. Was easy to install the electrical into the main power panel. As much as we hate to say it waiting for the next power outage to put everything to the test.

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.

We use this Westinghouse (WGen9000) as a replacement to the Wgen7500 that we lost in a forest, Both have performed extremely well. This has been used with an offgrid setup, providing power for tools like welders and plasma cutters, also quickly topping up batteries for a solar system on rainy days. Cannot recommend enough.

Just bought my first portable generator. After researching several models, I chose the Westinghouse model for two reasons: 1) A variety of features that adequately fills my needs and 2) Value for the money paid. Although I haven't used it much yet, except for breaking it in a little, I'm confident this generator will provide top notch service for my needs in the event of an outage.

I just received the generator and it looks very nice and well built. I haven't run it yet but when I do I will post another review. The only thing I do not like about it is the <23% THD which is very high and I am worried about running any of my electronics with it.

Bought the generator about 1 month ago. Unpacking Instructions and attachment of the wheels were clear and easy to follow. Setting up the remote start sequence required closer attention and connecting 2 battery wires not addressed. However, once completed, the generator turned over and ran as described. With 12.5KW start up & 9.5KW running wattage, this generator will be able to power both central air a/c units, frig and freezer, TVs, lights, and electric stove when activated in sequence more than enough to get us through a local power outage.

The box was damaged but the generator was in great shape due to protective packaging. The electric start and remote start work as advertised - perfect! It is also easy to start with the recoil pull cord. I am amazed that a generator with this much power is so compact and easy to move.

We bought this since we live in Florida and the HOA regulations wouldn't allow to have a permanent generator. We researched and like the reviews for this portable generator. The wheels were very easy to put on. Started very easy when we tested it.

A friend loaned to me a generator to use during a recent five day blackout. After using the Generac, I could see that there were solid feature improvements by purchasing the WGN 9500 C. I like having the 50 amp circuit. I like the easy way that the assembly went. I like the easy to read gasoline gauge. I like the basket that prevents trash from getting in the fuel tank. I like the digital display gauge that toggles between information about what's happening to the unit while running. I like the key fob I am just starting to use it and I am, so far very impressed. I'm having an electrician install transfer power to our fuse box so we won't have to use the many extension cords we had laying around with the Generac. I like the handle that allows an old man and woman to be able to lift and move it where we need it Without straining too much. Thanks, Westinghouse.

We live in a 2 story 3400 sq ft house and this generator is setup on a line powering our main breaker box. It has enough power to run everything in our house including our AC. Great value. The one star removal is for noise, like most generators this thing is noisy.
