The simplicity is refreshing

Recently purchased this after going through the hurricane that hit Western North Carolina. The packaging was great and the ease of minimum assemblage required was a welcome relief. Just in the testing mode currently and hopefully never need this for another emergency situation but am confident this product will perform excellently

Generator Review

I bought the Westinghouse Generator about a month ago and it has worked great. Assembly was easy and it came with a tool to help with assembly. I have not run it under full load but so far it works great. being able to use different fuels (liquid or natural gas) it really easy and will be a help if extended use is nessary.

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.

Great Generator / Arrived with dented frame

Unpacked the generator from the box, attached feet and wheels, put the included quart of oil in the crankcase, filled gas tank half full, plugged in the included battery, programmed the key fob, flipped the breakers on, turned gas shut-off to open, flipped on/off switch to on, pressed the start button... the generator started immediately!!! I pressed the on/off button and it shut right down. I pressed the start button on the key fob this time and again it started right up. I then pressed the stop button on the key fob and it shut right down again just like it should, I started the generator one more time with the start button on the generator and I let it run for 2 hours to seat the rings and then turned it of with the key fob and it shut right down again just as expected. Next morning I turned the start/stop switch to on and pressed the start button and again it started right up. I then turned off the gas shut off valve and let the generator run until it ran out of gas and stopped running... So far so good!!! Only complaint was that the generator arrived with a dent in the upper frame while causing no obvious damage to the gas tank or generator. More than likely it was damaged in shipping. Maybe a big deal to some folks but no other apparent damage and all parts appear solid and the generator functions perfectly. Good enough for me!

A Lot of Switches

My son in law helped start up and show me how to use it. There are more switches than I like just to get power. I hope I can remember what I need to do when I need it in an emergency. I feel it makes more complicated that it needs to when the power goes out here in the country.

Strong and Sturdy

After determining how much power I required and researching the options, I came across this model. Though the price was good, there were still other factors to consider. In the end, I made this purchase based on the strength of the Westinghouse name. I have other Westinghouse products and know them to be reliable. This company has been around a long time and has built a good reputation. The generator is strong and sturdy. At 50 amps and 12500 watts, it has enough power to hook into my breaker box and supply emergency power to my home.

Good Value

Purchased this generator to run our entire house, when the power goes out during a hurricane. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost and features of it, compared to the others. It provides plenty of power to run all of my wife’s hair products and the lights at the same time!! Happy wife, happy life!

Kept us powered up for 6 days during a PG&E outage

We live in the country and depend on a well for a water supply for my wife and I and our animals. After 5 days without power I picked one of these up to get our well pump running again. Yay, running water. Once we had a water supply the electric water heater, fridge, lights, and internet were next. This generator kept us powered up and comfortable for the next 6 days. It started right up every morning and ran reliably and consistently all day long! THANK YOU!

Issues.

I bought the 9500/12000 last year around July/August through a relative. I am not based in the U.S. Started good and then all of a sudden couldn’t start. I called a repair man who opened the engine to find out that the cam was rubbing against the engine case which broke some parts of the cam with spring and something else. After it was replaced, the generator ran well, but then it stopped turning off with the remote. The generator came with factory issues. Other than these issues, I think the generator is good. But why an aluminum coil for such generator?
