generator seems to run well. The battery swich does not work every time but may work better after some use. They include 1 Qt. of oil which is not quite enough . The starter button must be held for a few second to start and it must be held a few seconds to shut down. Overall the generator seems like a very nice product, fit and finish seem excellent. I was a bit worried about the TMD rating so I bought a surge protector. It starts easily and produces 244 volts at 62,5 Hz at no load. I wish they would have included a 50 amp plug. BUT still a very nice product for the money

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.

I just bought this because we lose power for the littlest storms where we live. I unboxed this thing and it was easy to assemble and figure out. everything is on the side panel to use for just about every situation. starts with pull string, push start and key fob. Definetly a great buy for the price. would highly recommend

I already have a 5000 watt generator, which does only part of my electric requirements for my house.I bought these unit after much research and the recommendation by my electrican. This unit will be hooked up directly to my electrical pannel. My electricty goes out frequently. Unit came shipped to my house on a pallet and was A-1 condition. Assembly of wheels and pads quick and easy. filled will oil gas and started right up. Can't wait to see how it perf0rms next time electricity goes out.

Received the generator when scheduled. My husband put on the wheels, added oil and gas. Started right up. Then we used the key fob to start it. Worked like a charm. Bought it to use for emergency home power outages. We just got it so time will tell. So far so good. That's the only reason I can't give it 5 stars.

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 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.

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!

So far very happy. Bought and broke in to Westinghouse recommendations via HDdotcom also got a great deal from them. I'd give 4-1/2stars if i could as my concerns thus far are minor. I don't like the location of the ground terminal under the 50amp receptacle it protrudes a little for my 90degree plug but it's still fine. My other concern is that I just don't like the wheels being attached by a cotter pin. When full of gas and rolling the wheels are angled just doesn't seem strong to last a long time. All in all does what its supposed to do so far so I would recommend

The WGen9500c's features are what you expect in a luxury car! The "push to start" - the "auto start on the remote" and the "auto-start" on the generator are very convenient! The WGen9500c surely qualifies as a "Smart Generator!" It runs smoothly and provides plenty of power for all my needs. Great Product!!!.
