After spending hours researching available generators in this output capacity, including talking to service centers to see what models they had fewest repairs on, I went with the Westinghouse WGen9500. I installed a 50 amp plug with a 60 amp breaker and made up a 30' dual 50 amp male plug cable. I also added a receptical for the battery tender and the little garage compressor. After a few minutes installing the wheels, rubber feet, adding oil, 93 octane fuel, and plugging in the battery tender for a few minutes (battery came right up to storage mode) I wheeled it outside to start it up. It hardly turned over before starting and settled down to a steady rpm. I checked output and it's spot on. I doubt you can find a better generator for a price even close to this unit.

This gen took 25 days beyond the website proposed delivery date; thus the 4stars. This is a nice gen able to run all the house, with some reasonable planning. Paid an electrician to install a hookup, and interconnect safety switches, and now the gen just plugs into a single 50a plug and I can turn on the house power from the fuse box. The gen is very portable with good quality wheels.

Got it out of the box, wheels and legs on, oil and gas in, battery connected and started in about 30 mim. I have not had it under full load yet but it has handled everything I have thrown at it. I purchased this for power out situations so I hope it will just sit here and collect dust, but I will be ready if needed.

Just received this item. Packaging was in good condition. Cut box open to get to the generator, no problem. I used a 4x4 to prop up the machine to install wheels. Finally got the legs installed. The generator is heavy and seems very substantial. I had to pull down on the red/black wires to the battery in order to expose the connector so that I could get the battery online. The remote is hooked on the pull cord that you use to manually start the generator. Hope this helps the next buyer.

Just got this in!! Added oil and gas..Fired right up with the remote start!!! Excellent so far!! I'm up in the foothills of CA and PG&E is cutting power all the time now. Had a Genarac 3600 But decided to go with a bigger stronger unit. Going to be hard wired into the panel in a week. So far so good!!!!

Ordered product and received it well ahead of promised delivery. Was very easy to set up for running. Bought this product for emergencies with power outages. Hopefully I will never need to use it but I feel confident it will meet all my expectations.

I weathered first winter storm. The WGen9500 exceeded my expectations. 1. Push button start was great when temp was 5 degrees. It was set-up to run safely outside if needed. It was. 2. Battery trickle charge is great. 3. Much quieter than expected but still not super quiet. . 4. Could've run 12 hours before running out of gas.

I opened the box and everything was packaged nicely. I followed the instructions and it started up on the first push of the button. It ran perfectly and generated power nicely. I would recommend Westinghouse generators all day long. I am super happy with my purchase and look forward to the first power outage. J/K

I recently purchased the 9500DF, it came when expected, easy to assemble, started right away. Powerful enough to run all that I want in the house, wheels make it easy to maneuver, I like the push button start. hope that I don't lose power, but this gives me peace of mind when that does happen.

We've been losing power randomly for small amounts of time (6-12 hours) and were tired of not having power. This Generator along with a 50amp transfer switch provides enough power to the "essentials" of our home and more at a very affordable price compared to whole home set-ups.
