I just bought this over the Christmas break to prepare for rolling blackouts over the summer and during windy seasons. I wanted a generator big enough to lift the whole house, primarily my central AC. I haven't had a chance to load test it yet, however shipping was in perfect condition. Unboxed it with all parts included. Mounted the wheels (Took 5 mins). Battery was already hooked up to the terminals so all I had to do was connect the pigtails (10 secs). Added the oil (supplied) and gas and fired her up. She started right away with the push start button. Ran her for 15 minutes without load and she sounded great. Programmed the remote (another nice feature) and started her up with it without any issues. I'm having an electrician come out to install a transfer switch to my panel so time will tell how she performs when she'd needed. But I have no doubt she will.

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.

The peace of mind this generator gives me is second to none. The key fob is awesome, I can start it from my 2nd story bedroom window, I will use this to run most of my house, I’m sure it can handle the whole house if needed. Quieter than expected so that’s a major plus. Looks awesome also.

Have yet to use it, I had a generac 6500-8000 that quit working, probably due to overload I wanted a larger size that will run my whole house, and after reading reviews on the 9500-12500 Westinghouse, I decided to go with this one. It has more features than comparable ones of this size. I gave it 4 stars because I have yet to use it

I did a good amount of research before deciding on the Westinghouse 9500 Generator. The build quality is excellent, runs like a charm and gave best bang for the buck. Hopefully will never have to use it but I am confident it will be there for me when I need it as long as I exercise it regularly and perform recommended maintenance.

I have just completed assembly and made a test run. The unit started immediately by electric start as the battery was already charged. I was pleased with the clear instructions and ease of assembly with necessary tools included. A very helpful oil filter funnel was also included. Everything worked right out of the box, even the key fob remote starter. Only downside is insufficient packing material. The unit is very heavy and mine was manhandled along its journey. The cover holding the pull start rope was bent inward and had to be pushed out to ensure smooth operation (if the electric start should not work some day). Ready for the next storm or job away from power sources.

I purchased this unit recently after researching generators for several weeks and chose the 9500 as it best fits my needs. Easy to assemble, ran perfectly on first try and was quite easy for my electrician to hook up to the house electric panel. Have run the unit several times on trial basis and no issues. Purchased as a house backup and hope I don't have to use it often but am very confident it will run well in an emergency.

I bought this generator to run my house when the power goes out I took it out of the box put the parts on plug the battery in and it started right up I connected to my panel box of my house and it ran the appliances I need while the power is out I am very pleased with the purchase

I just received this unit a few days ago but wow what a beautiful unit. I expect great things from it. I took off the standard front legs and installed casters to make it easier to move around. I called today to buy a 50A transfer switch kit (item number 210076) only to be told the they no longer sell them. Bummer. Would have been nice to have their switch to go with my generator.

I bought this genarator for my house.now that we are in hurricane season. I try it with my 3ton home AC on and it ran it with out any problems.now I can say I'm fully ready for any storm that comes my way. So thanks Westinghouse for a great genarator.
