First two times the generator started fine using the battery start function. Turned battery switch to on position, green start/stop button lit, and pressing start/stop button generator started. Now have to use the recoil rope to start . Even using the choke in the proper position, takes several pulls and a shot of starting fluid to start. Once it starts it runs great. By the way I got this for our 40 foot RV, so if I were not there she could use the battery start function, as she can not pull the cord to start the generator.

UNboxed on 9/5/23 Installed wheels and bottom frame stand mounts, all parts shipped with generator, generator was shipped ESTES and arrived in perect condition, should be able to start it up this evening hopefully all goes well, so far im happy with my purchase.

Extremely happy with the WGen9500-12500 Peak Watts gasoline generator that I purchased. After much research, I felt this was the generator that would fit my needs. I purchased a home with an existing system that would allow me to run my entire home when we lost power (storms). This generator will do just that. Thanks, Westinghouse.

Our rural Nebraska town shut down our 100 year old power plant and started buying power from a 17 state consortium. Electrical power has been unreliable since, subject to weather, storms, and rolling blackouts. So I bought this generator and had an electrician wire it up through a transfer switch. It powers my entire house during a blackout and turns on by pressing a button on s fob. My house is only 500 sq ft, so this solution is perfect for me. It’s quality construction and works reliably. I’m very pleased.

This Generator is great! I'm not one to normally leave reviews, but I've gotta rave about it. Powers the job site, my trailer, back up power for my home when I have outages - you name it - it does it. Love the remote start feature as well! Makes camping even more enjoyable when i don't have to go out in the cold to start my generator.

This generator can run my 3 ton A/C, all lights, tv, and another decent load. I can run either the microwave, one stove burner or oven, well pump, dishwasher, and even the water heater. My water heater is on a 20 amp 2 pole breaker and draws about 15 amps. The water heater running with the A/C does pull it down quite a bit but it will carry the load. If I was in an emergency situation I would probably just heat the water in the morning and then turn the A/C on. I'm sure it would not run my electric back-up heat in the heat pump in the winter so I am going to put toggle switches at the unit to turn off the 24 volt signal from the t-stat to the electric heat just in case I want to run the heat pump. I have a gas propane wall heater so I really wouldn't need to run it, but it never hurts to have extra options. Very pleased with the design, power, and functionality of this generator. The battery is easy to access.

I bought this generator to replace a smaller one hoping to be able to run a few more items now that my wife and I work from home and have 2 small kids. My neighbor bought a smaller Westinghouse generator and i was intrigued and impressed, so I bought one as well, just a bit bigger.. It was delivered a day early, easy to assemble ( put the wheels on and add oil ). Add Gas, Started right up. I was surprised how quiet it was for the size of the engine. I plugged it in to the house to see what kind of load/strain it would handle... it didn't even bog down or struggle. We run the boiler, 2 refrigerators, water cooler, microwave coffee maker, lights, Tv, Wifi, Cable box, and the garage door. Now we are ready for the next power outage.

Just received this generator yesterday. Easy set up, (hint, follow quick start up guide regarding power cable connection from battery to panel). Runs great. Button start, remote start, pull start seem to work fine. Tested with power light and vacuum cleaner for a period of time just to check performance and no issues. Easy to use. Bought it for powering household when power lines are down after a storm and I believe it will perform well when needed. I hope I do not need it!!

Received this 2 nights ago. Set it up yesterday, very easy process. Once oil and fuel added, pushed the start button and within a couple of seconds it was running smoothly. Did have a dent in frame, probably happened during shipping. Box was not in good condition. Does not effect operation, but is disappointing to have received it this way.

We bought this for our camper as well as our home because we live in GA and hurricanes aren’t our strangers and we are completely satisfied. My husband loves the remote start. He has a bad back so having a generator that we had to pull start before was rough on him. I’m so glad we decided on this one.
