Easy to start!

Totally satisfied with purchase. The push button start & remote start features worked flawlessly. So much easier to start that traditional recoil or pull start. Showed my wife how to start it and she had no issues either. She never was able to run our old generator. Bought it in preparation for the 2024 hurricane season and feel confident that it will handle our needs if electrical power is loss.

Excellent Generator

After researching extensively we decided to purchase this generator. It has so many features not found with competitors. Unpacking and assembly were a snap and the operating instructions were clear and concise. It started quickly by push button remote as well as operating control panel start button and manual pull start. Will have plenty of power for emergency power outages. This generator is very well built and an excellent choice for the price. It also came with the battery charged, oil and a tool kit for changing plugs. I’m confident this generator will do all that’s required of it.

WGen9500C

"I recently acquired the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12,500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, and it has exceeded my expectations. This generator has proven to be an incredibly reliable and versatile power source for my home, particularly during unexpected outages."

Just what we needed for back-up power

We bought this generator to provide emergency back-up power to our whole house. I did a lot of research and looked at lots of reviews. This unit is consistently rated top notch. This unit with its' 50A transfer switch receptacle allows us to provide power to the whole house as needed. I look forward to this generator providing all the power we need if we lose power.

Great Generator

I bought in Feb 2021, when the big snowstorm happened in San Antonio, TX, we weren't prepared but we are now! We got enough power to assist our family and neighbors should there be another crisis. Has Great features including a remote start, 12500 Peak Watts, plenty of outlets - we highly recommend it!

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.

WGen 9500 Great generator!!

Great generator!! WGen9500.. Looks nice and well built. Came with wheels,battery and oil. I have used it a couple time for stuff around the house just to run it for awhile. Works great. Waiting to use it for when my power goes out. Did a lot of research on generators and Westinghouse has a great price for the size generator I got. Look to be very well built. You can’t beat the 3 year warranty.

Very happy!

I bought this item in the last month and so happy that I did. It comes almost 100% assembled, little was needed to get it set up. I was able to use the wheels to roll it in the location that I wanted. I'm so happy I'll have it when the power goes out with all the wildfires that have been happening every year. Very happy with the product!

Perfect

I recently bought this model in anticipation of power outages due to severe weather. Living in SW Florida I was without power for 11 days due to hurricane Irma in 2017. After reading the many positive reviews I determined that this model would power my 3 ton AC, refrigerator, TV and some small appliances. The day that it arrived I unboxed it and followed the start up instructions. Started up immediately, let it run a bit, plugged in some electrical tools to test. Works great! To be honest I hope I never need to use it but I have it now for peace of mind.

WGen9500c

I bought this product to replace another brand of generator that I had bought during an emergency. After researching and reading reviews about Westinghouse generators I decided to upgrade to the WGen9500c and I'm glad I did. It runs much quieter; the push button and remote start features are so smooth and simple to use I know my wife could start and operate it in an emergency if I wasn't home.
