Generator has good power but might be a dud.

Received generator and assembled. Began break-in process. Everything worked as it should. Ran great. Unfortunately towards the end of the process it began making a screeching kind of gritty noise. Could be the brushes or a bearing in the alternator causing it. Very disappointing to have problems with a new and expensive product. Hope this company stands behind there warranty.

Excellent value

Bought this in September and had transfer switches installed on the house. Have not yet needed it but did prep it for operations and started it up. The battery wasn't charged so I had to manually start it. It started on the 2nd pull and ran like a top (with no load on it.) I'm sure this will perform well under load but I really hope it never has to.

Nice Generator

Just received my new WGEN9500DF. I am very happy with the new purchase. Remote start, with battery disconnect and charger. After having 8 degree temps and my 13 year old generator circuit board giving up, I am very happy to have the security and power this generator will provide. All for a very reasonable price. This generator should power my whole house including AC. I know I will need to turn off my septic and water well, but we can alternate these needs. Thanks Westinghouse

Power to spare

I bought this generator to have backup power during hurricane season. I hooked it up to my circuit breaker the day I got it. I was able to power my whole 2200 square foot house, with the exception of the whole house air conditioning unit which I did not try. Very happy with the initial result, we will see how she does in a real power outage.

Good generator for the price

Bought this generator to provide power after big storms. It arrived in good condition and was easy to unpack. The instructions for setting it up were easy to follow. The unit started easily and runs nicely. Running noise level is good but not great. The unit is easy to move around using the attached handle. Overall, very pleased with the purchase.

WGen9500 Awesome Generator!

I bought this Westinghouse a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Very easy to unpack and assemble wheels. It is also very easy to maneuver around. I needed more watts to power my house when storms knock off the power. This unit will do the job. It has 9500 running watts, plenty to take care what I need to power on during a power outage. And, it has a remote control electric start. I don't even have to get out of my house to crank the generator.....awesome feature that other generators don't have. Highly recommended!!

Good Design, Solid Machine

I experienced very quick delivery and received my WGen9500 in excellent condition. Good instruction manual enabled easy set up. Electric start with the remote start key fob is a welcome feature. My generator started immediately and runs strong. As I'm keeping this on hand for emergency backup power, when shutting down I will use the fuel shutoff to drain the carburetor. After a considerable amount of shopping and comparing options, I am very pleased with this Westinghouse generator.

Very nice generator

have been watching this generator for approximately 9 to 10 months. I was waiting for it to go down in price, and It finally did, and boy were we fortunate! We saved quite a bit of money. When it arrived, my husband was so excited you would’ve thought it was Christmas. Wonderful features, easy to use, I could even use it. The old generator had a pull start, which was horrible. At least we have something now for power outages. we love it!

Amazing

This generator has saved my life plenty of times. If you are searching around for a dependable generator that is strong. I highly recommend this brand. One of my Electrician friends recommended it. It runs my whole house five stars. I have used it for two years now I am super happy. Most recently this Guy ran for five days straight

Easy to use Generator

After enduring hurricane Ian, I will never again worry about being without power for days at a time. My neighborhood electrician was able to easily set everything up so that we can use it when we need it. We did a test and found that it easily powered my a/c and other essential household items. I hope to never have to use this equipment, but know that I'll be in great shape if I need to at some point in the future.
