After researching portable generators for quite some time and suffering through frequent power outages (a 6 day one last fall) we finally bought the WGen9500. It's a beast and everything the other reviews say it is. It will soon be wired into a manual transfer switch. Neighbors already came to see it and realized that doing this in the fashion we are, is a lot more cost effective than the large automatic ones that can cost 5K. I'll be building a sound reducing enclosure for it before the winter. Glad we finally have it!

I bought this a month ago as I installed a transfer switch in my house. Although I have not used it in actual outage scenario, I have tested it with the load I would be putting against the generator and it handled it without issue. There is no better generator for the power and great price point.

Just received this item. Packaging was in good condition. Cut box open to get to the generator, no problem. I used a 4x4 to prop up the machine to install wheels. Finally got the legs installed. The generator is heavy and seems very substantial. I had to pull down on the red/black wires to the battery in order to expose the connector so that I could get the battery online. The remote is hooked on the pull cord that you use to manually start the generator. Hope this helps the next buyer.

I purchased the WGenerator for electrical security in the event I lose power. It's large enough to power my whole house. I got the tri-fuel, so no matter what I should have fuel readily available. I've had stand by generators since 2017 and have only had to use it once. At that time I didn't have one large enough to run my heat and cooling, which was a bummer. So after that I got a larger one. It was also a WGenerator, but I lost it in a shop fire in 2023. Therefore, I purchased a new one and went with the tri-fuel. I have not lost electricity for long periods of time often enough to justify the high cost of a whole home power unit such as Generx. To me this is a very cost effective way to have stand by electrical power. With a plug installed at my breaker box, all I have to do is plug it in, start it up, and engage the power.

Bought Oct 13th 2021 so far the generator has lived up to my expectations. I owned a Genrac 8000 running amps for 10 years until it failed. I guess I will judge this generator more fully when we have our next power outage. A generator is a necessity because we live out in the country, and have had major outages before. Having a generator provides security for us.

I bought this because the priced worked in my budget and with the elect. start my wife can set it up and running when I'm away. I gave it 4 stars because I followed the setup instructioins, turn the gas on, pushed the start botton and it started right up.

Living in Florida requires that you have a portable generator! Hurricanes come, Power goes. We had a generator but it was one with a pull start which got more difficult as we age. After research we determined that this Westinghouse 9500/12000 was perfect for us, it has an electric starter and gives us more than needed power. As seniors we are truly grateful that we can now have reliable emergency power without the painful physical effort required to start the old pull generator.This Westinghouse Electric start portable generator is truly the only one seniors should have for emergencies.

THIS THE BEST AND THE EASIEST PORTABLE GENERATOR TO USE. MY POWER COMPANY CANT FOR SOME REASON, KEEP THE POWER GOING. AND WAS TIRED OF LOOSING MY FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR. FOOD COST ARE RIDICULOUS. SO I PURCHASED THIS UNIT AND I KID U NOT THE POWER WENT OUT ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY. AND I WAS READY THIS TIME. BUT THE POWER CAME BACK ON IN 5 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD ROLL THIS BABY OUT, ALMOST LIKE IT KNEW WGEN9500c WAS ABOUT TO SHOW OUT AND PUT THE POWER COMPANY TO SHAME BUT I CAN REST A SHURED THAT THIS WG9500c WILL HAVE ITS DAY WHEN THE STORM SEASON IN ST.LOUIS MO STARTS SOON, IM LOCKED A LOADED AND READY.

Awesome pulled it out of the box The only set up was putting wheels on just took a minute, put gas in it and One push of the button and it started right up. The control panel was impressive has everything I need to plug in my shop and House even came with a battery tender to keep battery fully charged when not in use I would highly recommend this to anyone and also had a great price

We live in south Texas and was without power for several days. This is a definite need for anyone no matter where you live. You must expect the unexpected and this product will be here for use when the unexpected happens. So happy I decided to make the investment for my family. This is a great generator, it came packaged well and the shipping was super quick. Runs like a dream.
