Easy to Assemble

I just received the WG9500. I was most pleased with how simple the assembly was. I can't say I look forward to using it as it is during terrible hurricanes, but am most confident that it will take care of me and my family whenever the situation arises.

Great Generator !

Just received the generator and unboxed it. The start up instructions were easy to follow. The generator started up the very first time! I like the electronic start, remote feature, and the plug in battery charger is handy! I feel that the generator is a very good value, and is well made .

Heavy duty, runs great

Overall, very pleased with this generator. Easy to follow instructions, easy to use and runs great. Seems heavy duty overall and power was as expected. I can actually run central air across two condensors, my fridge, dishwasher, tvs, lights, etc. My only complaint is that the wheels could be better and heavier duty.

Fired up immediately

Electrician got the electric panel wired for generator per code. We fueled generator and ran power code to panel plugi in, pushed button, and immediately cranked. Ran smoothly til fuel ran dry. Suggest you put Sta bil in and run until dry for extended storage.

More than expected

Purchased this generator after several days comparing and reading online reviews. The Wgen9500 received great reviews and after running the generator it performed as promised. Started and run for 2 hrs and is running great. Definitely recommend this product.

Convenient, easy, and powerful

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.

Good Product

This item is heavy-duty and even feels SOLID as you handle it. Arrived in good packaging, with clear instructions for getting started quickly. Very minimal assembly and preparation required before use. Following the instructions I had it ready and running in about 30 minutes.

Perfect

I recently bought this model in anticipation of power outages due to severe weather. Living in SW Florida I was without power for 11 days due to hurricane Irma in 2017. After reading the many positive reviews I determined that this model would power my 3 ton AC, refrigerator, TV and some small appliances. The day that it arrived I unboxed it and followed the start up instructions. Started up immediately, let it run a bit, plugged in some electrical tools to test. Works great! To be honest I hope I never need to use it but I have it now for peace of mind.

Great solid product.

Bought the generator about a month ago to power up the house through a transfer switch during power outages. Excellent built, flawless electronic start, plenty of power. Runs relatively quietly at a minimum RPMs (except for surges when e.g. a fridge compressor starts). I am quite happy with the purchase.

Good So Far

Waiting for the big one in Los Angeles so haven't had a chance to use it yet. However it arrived on time, was well packaged and very intuitive to use. I did add oil and a few gallons of gas, pushed the start button and it fired right up almost instantly.
