Received the delivery of my W9500 generator just days before the first of most likely winter power outages in Northern New England. The electric start makes it easy to fire up the generator and even easier with the remote start. I don't even have to go outside and free my backside off to start the thing and get my house up and running (so that has touches of hyperbole, but it beats the heck out of pulling those ridiculous start cord that destroys my shoulder and leaves me suffering the humiliation and frustration of getting old and weak). Would I purchase this again? Uh, yes. Would I buy a second just because -- uh yes. While I haven't put it through a significant long term power outage, it provided days of heat and barely made it obvious the power went out. Now, if only it could re-fuel itself so I never have to leave the warmth of my New England Home in the winter. A couple of key things to note if you are interested in buying this generator. 1. It is heavy -- about 250lbs. But, the wheels work. So, if you can drag fat guy with an ankle injury off a trail or a pro football player off the field after an injury, you can lug this around and place it where you need it. 2. Is it a good lookin' machine -- It's blue, of course, it looks good. 3. Does it feel well built? Well, I haven't hit it with a hammer or dropped it out of my truck, but it seems well built (and seems unlikely that the bolts will vibrate themselves out when running. 4. Is it quiet? It's a generator. I don't have it in my house (and hopefully you weren't thinking you might do that) so it ain't too bad. You can hear running outside but it doesn't prevent me from watching movies (when I am sitting in the cold of winter, powerless, using the generator to save my soft, first-world lifestyle). 5. Is the remote key fob junk? Actually, it's a pretty nice key fob. It isn't the quality you'd get from a German-engineered auto -- but it is durable, easy to use, and it comes with a clip so you can hook it on something. Is it easy to find when you open the box? No, not really. I guess if you're the type of person that looks for objects zip tied to your tools, then YES. In short, don't panic if you don't find it in the box -- it's strapped with a zip tie to the actual generator. 6. Can it be set up when it's below freezing outside? Yes, but it's cold. 7. Does the battery come fully charged? Yes, but make sure you hook the cables or you will be sitting there for hours trying to figure out why the gosh darn thing won't start. I am not saying I did this, I am just saying 8. Can you trickle charge the battery? Yes. It even comes with a trickle charge plug -- if you're partial to using the slick little plugins versus hooking your battery cables up the old fashioned way. In short, worth the buy. Good product. Can't wait to see how else I might be able t use it -- maybe a snow cone stand in the summer.

Bought it last month and thankfully have not had to use yet, but hurricane season is blooming. Excited about TriFuel options, compact size, folding handle, battery start. The day I hooked up, I had some old gas/fuel and did not want to use. So I hooked up my Grill Propane Canister & VOILA, it purred. Have decided to go Propane, for safety, and will get my first 100 lb tank this week. If all goes as expected, I will get a second 100 lb tank, to add to my four 20 lb cans. Other advantages with propane, is I wont be filling and hauling 8 - 10 5 gal cans of gas annually, and having use, whether a storm or not, and get fresh gas before next season.

Bought this as a result of hurricane Beryl in the Houston, TX area. Included in the box was not just a generator, but the propane regulator and hose as well as the natural gas hose, both with the quick connect fittings. Assembly was simple, just screw on the feet and pin the wheels and put the pre measured bottle of oil in it and that was it!

From unboxing, assembly to short time usage I am quite pleased with this product. The packaging was robust enough to protect the generator during shipment. Assembly was straight forward, from installing the front feet to the rear wheels. Added gas and oil and it was off and running.

This generator is very well built. It is very well packaged and easy to assemble. Put the supplied oil in it and add gas and you are good to go. The start/stop remote makes it very convenient in bad weather. I will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a generator.

Decided to upgrade our generator after multiple power outages. Luckily no power outages yet. Decided to fire the genny up and make sure everything was great before it needed to be used. Started up super easy. Instructions were simple. Love having the 3 fuel options. Was able to use my interlock kit and power 99% of our house with this generator. So far so good!

Very simple to assemble and get it started. Like the large wheels as the unit is quite heavy and that along with the handle make it easy to move around where I am may need it. Unit is quieter than I expected it would be. Like that I can start it before placing load onto the system, and each output has it's own breaker.

After spending a few days without power because of Hurricane Beryl, we decided we needed a generator. After researching many different manufacturers, we bought this one because of positive reviews and a great price for the features we wanted, especially the Tri-fuel feature. We haven't needed it it yet, but it seems very well built and small enough that it doesn't take up too much space, but with plenty of power to run the things we want. The small amount of assembly required is very simple and quick to complete, and required tools are included!

After reviewing many portable generators in this size range for price, performance, features, warranty and reliability I chose the WGen9500 because it met or exceeded other generators in this range. It arrived exactly when scheduled and the delivery driver was fantastic. I was able to unbox it and install the feet and wheels in just a few minutes. Though the battery need to be charged, I was able to start it manually on the first pull.

Recently purchased my new Westinghouse generator after my old one just wore out after twenty years. I waited several months until this model was back in stock and it was well worth the wait. The 9500 produces plenty of power and has many great features.
