Fantastic House Generator

I bought the 9500c generator a couple months ago. It is very simple to assemble, they provided the oil, funnel and tools to get it started. The push button start works great. My wife used the remote start key fob inside and outside house. This feature is a mobility saver since my wife is disabled. She has the freedom to start and stop the generator if she leaves the house. The generator is very quiet. A couple weeks after I received it, I lost power for 3 days, powered the whole house. It is a must have. I would definitely recommend!!!

JUST WHAT I NEEDED WHEN THERE IS A POWER OUTAGE

This generator fits my needs. Easy to assemble, easy to operate. Just what I needed to keep my tw refrigerators, freezer and lights on when we have a power outage. Remote start is great also. Thanks Sam’s Club for a great buy!

Love the Remote start!!!

Was as described. Will do everything we need to connect my home when electricity is lost. Super easy to start . Not super quiet but quieter than my last 5500 generator.

Very impressed

I am very impressed. It arrived early. I have used it already but not under full load as our house hookup is not installed yet. I have no reason to believe it won't preform.

Excellent generator

Easy to assemble. Multiple ways to start. Comes with a trickle charger. Fuel gage easy to read. Starts right up. Plenty of power to run my 10 circuit transfer box.

Peace of mind

Bought as a peace of mind measure in case of power outage, should run all the basic needs of my home. So far have only ran some for break in so will be ready when needed.

Wire battery

This generator is designed to what i expected, the Battery wiring cover is cover over battery terminal is not correct. Covers don't protect terminal.

Westinghouse generator

Ordered this generator for a planned electric company outage. The outage did occur as scheduled but later when I wasn't able to see it's capabilities. It did start easy and assembly was simple. Arrival time was as noted on my purchase information. I believe this was a good purchase for the price and It'll be beneficial when the opportunity presents itself.

Ck. thoroughly before bad weather event-

Liked the ease of starting and overall appearance BUT----The day of the hurricane hit Florida; it failed to generate any electricity--ran great but no juice. In its present condition I would give it 5 stars when used as a boat anchor. I have owned several generators previously.

Not worth it. Defective.

If I could rate this generator with zero stars, I would. Bought it mainly for power outages so I was fortunate to not have any for a long period of time before I tried to use it. I didn't put gas in it until I needed to use it and it wouldn't start. When I contacted Westinghouse they sent me an email of something to do since it wouldn't start. I felt like I shouldn't have had to do anything since it was practically still new. Not being a mechanic I called a friend to help. We finally got it started but it still didn't run as it should've. I really believe there is a defect that Westinghouse does not want to address. I had another friend take it and work on it and finally got it running. I would run it at least once a month for 20 minutes or so. Then I noticed a leak and I believe it is oil since that's the only fluid that was required in the generator. I have not ran it since. Ultimately I've never got to use it during a power outage. I did purchase it on sale, but I wasted my money. Also unfortunately by the time I tried to use it the warranty was expired. I've invested in a Generac whole home generator and eventually get the Westinghouse repaired and give to my son. Very disappointed in this product.
