Very well constructed

I live in Florida where hurricanes can sometimes knock out power for weeks so I bought this generator to be able to continue a normal life with heat, a/c, and lights and refrigeration. Hope I don’t need it anytime soon but it’s good to know I am prepared.

Exactly What We Needed (WGen9500)!

I purchased this generator on June 01, 2020 and recieved it on June 05, 2020. Incredibly fast service. We purchased this generator after reviewing several models by multiple competitors. The WGen9500 fit our needs. Iwill update my review when I actually use it.

Started right up!

I bought this generator sight unseen and it sat in my cold garage for over a month before I opened the box up and tried it out. 'Started right up and it's easier to move than I thought and now I'm all set for whatever New England weather throws at me!

Great performance

I bought this back in October and have been very pleased. I have a manual transfer switch that has my oil furnace, water pump, refrigerator, and a number of rooms in my house hooked to it. The WGen9500 handles those loads with room to spare. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Great quality

This generator is built very good. Handle and wheels make for easy moving around. Engine and generator look very well built and it is packaged nicely in the frame. It has handled very well so far. I highly recommend this machine to anyone that looses power often. This thing runs my entire house.

Received and delivered as advertised

Purchased within the last week, arrived undamaged on a wooden skid no dents and dings. All items were in the box as advertised. Added oil, had to pull start do to the battery not having enough power to start the generator. Started on the 3rd pull and ran well for 2 hours. It is what I expected (except for the battery issue). It also came with a charger, but the two prong connection that came on the battery is different than the single plug ac charger style that came with the unit. It appears that I will need to use a battery tender charger since it has the same plug style. Gave 4 stars because of the battery & charger issues.

So Easy

I had a 3500 watt crank generator that I didn't have the strength to start anymore. Plus, it didn't supply the whole house. After a lot of research, I found that the Westinghouse 9500c had and excellent reputation. They were right. All I had to do was put the wheels on and filled it with oil and gas. I followed the easy start instructions, pushed a button and on it went. I can run the furnace, the fridge, the lights and more. I am so happy and relieved.

WGen9500c Awesome price! Great features.

Recently purchased and installed. Easy out of the box setup. Ran well in practice. Enough power to run my whole house. Push button/remote start-up will be a gift. Confident in ease of use if needed. Hope it isn't needed, at least for a prolonged period.

Portable generator

We bought this in anticipation of winter storms. We haven't had to use it as of yet. We ran it for the initial 4-5 hours before putting a load on it. Once that was done we just plugged in some power tools to check the outlets. Everything worked fine. I am excited to be prepared for any power outages we may incur.

Backup Generator for a lot less money!

Hurricane season is coming up and did not want to be looking for a generator at the last moment. Considered Generac system but couldn't justify the expense for something that will rarely be used (hopefully never!). This generator combined with a transfer switch added by an electrician should do the job if the power goes out for a lot less money!
