Ease of use.

Purchased after buying a similar nationally recognized unit through a big box store. Other brand would not start. Called tech support and they basically read the owners manual and then told me to take it to a service dealer, who told me it was a poorly made unit and to return it. Westinghouse unit showed up within 5 days, required 50% less assembly and started up first try. While I purchased it for power outages and have not used it for that yet, I powered some items with it and it worked as advertised.

Big Unit

The unit looks well built and strong. It was very easy to assemble. I added gas and followed the instructions and it started on the first try. I let it run for about a half hour without any load letting the engine wear in. I was very surprised at how quiet this unit is given it's size, but to compare, my pressure washer is louder. I haven't used it yet but I will update when I do

Nice generator

I just received the generator and it looks very nice and well built. I haven’t run it yet but when I do I will post another review. The only thing I do not like about it is the <23% THD which is very high and I am worried about running any of my electronics with it.

Affordable and easy to use whole house generator

I bought this in November of 2020. Finally had a chance to use it. When power was out the other day, it lit my house up, my air conditioning and tv's. It was simple to operate and ran nicely till the power came back on. Would highly recommend as an alternative to more expensive permanent units. I can wheel it to my porch and easily plug it in

Good gen. Needs improving.

50 amp plug in is located in bad place,just above rear tire. Since most 50 amp plugs are shaped in L for strian relief for cord it makes pluging in difficult. Also the could have put a dedicated gas drain valve to drain gas for storage. Over all this gen is realy is good. Runs great. easyto use.

Meeting my needs so far.

I received this item two weeks ago and have used it about 4 times. It seems to be delivering promised performance. The User Manual illustrations of the GCFI circuit breaker are lacking a bit in that you need to push them in about 1/8th inch and listen for a click before they are actually activated. Once I figured that out it has performed well so far.

Great Portable Generator

I bought this portable generator to power my house in Texas during hurricane outages. The installation and set up were easy as the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Upon completion of the set up instructions the generator fired up first time using both the push button and remote start fob. I highly recommend this generator for homeowners.

WGen9500C runs great and does everything it suppos

I purchased the generator a week ago after my 22 year old generator stopped working. This generator is much better and the technology has come a long way. This generator has remote electric start, included battery and charger and an extra 2000 watts to boot. It started right up and does everything it is suppose too.

Great value - Quality machine!

Put fuel & oil in - push button start fired on 2nd try. Battery was fully charged "WOW". Got me through the recent blizzard in Oklahoma. Ran Central heat, 2 frigs, TV, fans and lights. Got 12 hours out of a tank of fuel. Pretty quiet for such a large generator. Didn't fail me - great generator for the price.

Runs great!

Generator came in two days with no damages. I did not expect it to come with a battery but it did. Even the key fob was paired with the generator. Nice to see that it has a port for charging the battery when stored. Even came with a charger. I charged the battery, added oil and gas and it fired right up. We are on a well so if we loose power we don't have any water. That was the main reason for purchasing a generator. Nice to know that we will always have water and plenty of power.
