Purchased for Mother-in-laws back up power needs.

Purchased this unit for my mother-in-laws back up power needs. 1st impression is it is of high quality construction. Easier to move and starting is a breeze. Will be easy for her to start either pressing start button or key fob. Will be a great asset.

Buy one you will love it!

What a great machine! The first glance build quality is nice from the push button start to the really nice molded outlet covers. Small amount of assembly but it took a whole 3 min to assemble which is great for anyone to do. Put oil in plugged in battery and took off immediately. My only complaint is I wish there was some sort of on board compartment to store the battery recharge cord.....in a lot of cases this will get misplaced or thrown away because you forgot what it was for and dont need it so Westinghouse please install a little storage box somewhere that the charge cord and spark plug wrench can be with machine at all times. Little part of me wants to lose power so I can use it and now able to power our well pump. Thank you!

Reliable and Easy to Use

Purchased this generator for storm season. Never had a generator before but was thrilled it is so easy to use. Really love the remote start. The visible fuel gauge is so very handy too. All I did was put oil and fuel in it and it cranked right up. Well worth the reasonable price.

Portable Generator with Great Features

Don't underestimate the importance of tri fuel. If this is a generator for home use, when you need it, fuel availability may be an issue. This generator can use gasoline, propane and natural gas and enhances the ability to locate fuel and use it in a difficult situation. The generator comes with a 30A and 50A receptacle for transfer switches. I found the 50A to be hard to find elsewhere. The electric start also operates by an included remote and there is a recoil start should it be needed. The generator arrives fully assembled other that the wheels and front supports. They are easy to install with the included instructions. The extras that are included are a propane line as well as a 25-foot natural gas line, engine oil, a few tools, and a very helpful operating manual. I was surprised by the footprint for this generator as it is relatively compact for a unit with this power and features. It will easily fit in a corner of the garage or shed and not be in the way. Portability is good as it has decent size wheels that make for smooth movement. There are some great features on this generator, and you can review them online as Westinghouse makes the operating manual available along with other information.

Nice generator

Just finished the break in period and it's worked as advertised. It's only use will be backup power to our home. During the break in period it handled the loads it was bought for with power to spare. The remote start is a nice feature and will come in handy if my family has to get it started.

Great Generator at a Good Price

The generator was easy to set up and it was able to power up my 2000 sq ft home with all the appliances. The Tri-Fuel option was available at a very reasonable price compared to other generators on the market. The push start and remote start features were also very handy. Would definitely recommend this brand and model of generator.

Portable general with lots of features

Purchased on 6/23/24 and I finally had the time to put it together and did a test run. Everything seems to be working well and not as noisy and I thought. Bad weather is expected to come my way tomorrow and we may loose power but hopefully not. If so, we will be ready.

Well designed, well built

Needed a unit to keep essential house utilities running during power outages (a few times a year, sometimes for a couple days), as well as running some power tools and work lights while in the woods. This is a solid design with useful features, like the USB chargers, various diagnostic indicators, and cage/frame. Heavy duty and plenty of power.

Great generator for our condo

Generator is perfect for our condo. Powers everything up and starts within seconds. Glad we went with a reputable manufacturer. Nice plus is that it comes with a wheel kit, some brands don't. Great value, lots of power for the purchase price and very well designed and is very sturdily constructed.

Awesome experience!

I bought the WGen9500 on 12/15/21. Picked it up the 22nd and put it in the garage. Today, 1/8/22, I finally opened the box to get it set up and ready. Wheels went on nice and easy, the front supports we're the same ease. It's so much easier to move on the wheels. Putting oil in it was a little tricky because the funnel that comes with it is a little too short but it's definitely manageable. Finally I put fresh fuel in. Tried to start it a couple times and it wouldn't start. I started looking around and finally found the fuel shut off valve. I opened it up and on the second crank, it fired right up. Very easy set up. I did it alone and it took about 15-20 min for all of it. I'm having an electrician come to hook it into the breaker box so I'm able to use it to power the necessities in the house. So far, so good! Awesome machine.
