Electrical Security

I purchased the WGenerator for electrical security in the event I lose power. It's large enough to power my whole house. I got the tri-fuel, so no matter what I should have fuel readily available. I've had stand by generators since 2017 and have only had to use it once. At that time I didn't have one large enough to run my heat and cooling, which was a bummer. So after that I got a larger one. It was also a WGenerator, but I lost it in a shop fire in 2023. Therefore, I purchased a new one and went with the tri-fuel. I have not lost electricity for long periods of time often enough to justify the high cost of a whole home power unit such as Generx. To me this is a very cost effective way to have stand by electrical power. With a plug installed at my breaker box, all I have to do is plug it in, start it up, and engage the power.

Remote start too!

While I just bought this a few days ago, I have tried it out a couple times. And wow is it nice. Push button, and remote start! Now my wife can use it if Im at the fire station. Im also having a 50amp receptacle wired into my garage and fuse panel so this bad boy can power whatever I will need when the power goes out. Its very easy to get this ready to go outta the box. Put wheels and legs on, add oil, connect battery (already fully charged), and it fires right up. Im so glad I bought this generator, Im actually looking forward to the next power outage!

Great emergency backup!

I bought this last month in preparation for the upcoming winter. My family was affected by the Texas power outage during Icemaggedon two years ago and I do not want to be in that position again. This product looks great and gives me the confidence needed to be head of my household.

Top Notch

This generator came packaged nicely with very minimal assembly required. Extensive instructions help with all aspects of use storage and maintenance, as well as warranty. This generator packs a lot of power into a compact package and the flexibility to start it with a push of a button or by pulling the cord is nice option. I have not needed to run it yet besides just warming it up and getting the fluids moving but I'm sure it will work when I need it to. I use this as back up power in case of a prolonged electrical outage. My transfer switch was installed by an electrician who assured me that the generator would easily be enough for my 6 selected breakers ( water heater, pump, coal stove, fridge, wifi, etc). Living far away from town having this gives me peace of mind that my property wont suffer from frozen pipes or ruined groceries due to loss of power.

Best generator I ever owned

Purchased 1-28-2023, I’m hooked up on a 50amp circuit. It’s enough to power my whole house and my garage. Best of all, I love the duel fuel option. It’s full of gas and I currently have 2 five gallon propane tanks so I’ll always be ready to put my power back on with a flip of a switch!

True Powerhouse

I bought this to run just about everything in the house, and it will. It is quieter than my previous 6000 watt generator. Based on the reviews, no should be disappointed. A nice touch was including everything you need to assemble and start this gem, except gas of course. Should last many, many years.

Real Nice Generator

Was delivered on time and was real easy to set up. Love the electric start and the remote start feature. I was surprised how quiet it was for a larger generator. This is my third generator and I already like it more than my previous generators. I don't think my wife will have any problem using it.

WGen9500

I purchased this generator to use for various functions, including backup power during power outages. The documentation was well written, and the instructions were clear. I had this generator up and running in just a few minutes.. the battery start works perfect. The noise level is relatively quiet for a generator this size compared to my last one and it provides more than enough power for any use. Overall. the combination of features, power, and ease of use make it a great generator for anyone. I am extremely happy with this generator.

New Generator

Upon receipt I tried to get the generator running. The battery doesn't charge, so the electric start and the remote start do not work. I tried to get assistance but have not heard back from Westinghouse. I can manually start the unit, and it runs well. It is relatively quiet and can be moved pretty easily, with the fold up handle extension. I haven't needed it yet, but I believe it will do what I need. Now, if I could only get some customer support!
