Worked great out of the box

I bought this for a partial house backup. It was easy to set up and was easy to use. Everything to get started was included except gas (including a quart of oil). Remote start worked fine, had it up and running in about 10 minutes. No I just need to get a transfer switch kit.

Westinghouse WGen9500DFc Portable Generator

I just purchased this generator and was impressed with it's solid construction and aesthetics right out of the box.  Westinghouse is rated as a top tier generator and has solid legacy reputation as a quality product.  Even though it weighs 250 lbs, the front folding handle enables easy transport.  Generator is transfer switch ready, control panel is methodically arranged.  Setup was quick, just 2 wheels and front support legs.  It truly is an impressive machine, can't wait to fire it up.  Tent running cover allows easy access to controls and refueling options.  Will provide future reviews regarding noise level and running efficiency.  Very happy with my purchase.  Service center stated that other comparible generators cannot run 12 hrs straight without overheating  this however is not an issue with this generator.

Excellent generator, just what I need

I bought this to use around my place when the electricity goes off. It will run all of the necessary things I need in my house and three chest freezers in my cellar. I really like the battery charger that comes with it. It has never failed to start when I need it, runs just like a new one all the time. The 6.6 gallon gas tank is handy too. Not sure on the hours it will run, but I haven't run it out yet. I am really impressed with this generator and the price was great too.

Love the remote start!

Bought this the beginning of December and used it twice so far. Nice and quiet as far as generators go. All the power I could hope for to run my house and the best thing is the remote start! I can just look out the window and start it right up! Two thumbs up!!

Quiet

Easy to assemble and start running out of the box. Quieter than I expected it to be and the remote start works from a long distance. Started on the first try. Have not had a chance to run my house off of it yet but I'm confident it will with no trouble.

Easy to Start Powerhouse Generator

I needed a generator that could provide emergency power when we experience power outages. I wanted a generator that had high power output and was easy to start. It fit the bill and I love that it can use three different fuel types. It is not quiet but that was not a criteria that I needed. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Hurricane Preparedness!

Because of the active 2020 hurricane season, I decided to add a generator to our hurricane preparedness to avoid a potential extended outage like the 2 weeks without power from hurricane Florence in 2016. I installed a 50 amp connector outside my garage which can be selected with a transfer switch inside the garage. This generator has a 50 amp 240 VAC connection which not all generators have (some only have 30 amp plugs which is very limiting) When I connected it to my home, I was able to run major loads like the refrigerator, a freezer, well pump and both of my home geothermal AC cooling systems for 5000 sq ft area plus lighting and other small loads. The unit didn't seem to bog down or be challenged with the load profile. The unit setup and starting was easy and well documented in the literature. I like the many features built in to the generator and am very pleased with my purchase and feel better prepared for the next hurricane encounter in Wilmington,NC!

Powered everything I needed during an outage

I bought this in Nov 2024 after a previous recent long duration power outage - I live rural, so no power also means no water usage. I'm so glad I bought it because we just had a power outage again last week. I had a transfer switch to my electrical box installed. This powered everything I needed it to during the outage - I was able to take a shower for work/use water, cook on stove, turn on lights, charge cellphones, keep the furnace running. Obviously, we were careful - used lights sparingly, didn't do laundry, or run the dishwasher, or use the oven. I bought this portable generator over a whole house one because my elderly mother was also out for a week in November. If she goes out again, I can bring this over to her so she can stay home instead of having to leave.

Runs solid. Not as loud as other generators that i

I've only had this generator for a few days and have used it consistently for power outage. connected several appliances and seems that it doesn't effect it's function at all. I ran refrigerator, tv, several lights and 3 portable heaters trying to keep in mind to watch how much wattage i'm using. I am thus far very pleased with this generator and would recommend to purchase.

Great portable generator for house

I very recently purchased the WGen9500DFc I have yet to use this one. My mom purchased one 2 years ago and it has been great! Very easy to use, extremely convenient remote start, and electric choke. No issues at all yet and it has been been used to supply power to her house a handful of times! One very small hiccup I have noticed is during a cold start I sometimes have to hold the choke back by hand to give it a little more time over the electric setting, like I said very small! Overall it is an awesome machine!
