I purchased this after reading many reviews on this and other generators. I was put off by a number of negative reviews. Decided to buy the Westinghouse because it had the best comments and ratings. I have only had it 3 days and was finally able to get it prepped today. Started on the first try with the battery start and didn’t even need to choke it. It appears to be a quality built unit with quality materials. I will review again in a few days after I have had a chance to run it more.

I bought this a month ago to replace a smaller unit from another manufacturer. We definitely use this often as the power goes out on a regular basis. Now we have enough capacity to keep our home reasonably well until the power is restored, usually the same day.

I am pleased with this selection of generator for backup for my home or boat. It has 30-amp and 50-amp capability. When I unpacked the generator from box, very simple to assemble. Added oil, gas, and connected battery. Unit fired up within seconds for first start. I do like the push button start with pull start backup.

Box was damaged when it was received, but the delivery guys and I saw no damage to the product. Was easy to assemble and I tested the pull start, electric and remote start. They all worked great. The unit had a wire that was broken (I think the low oil sensor). They are working to help me with it so I have no real problem with the generator.

We have just used this for the first time. It's also the very first time we have ever used a generator at all, so we really weren't sure what to expect in terms of ease of use. Directions were clear and easy to follow, and the generator started right up as soon as we needed it. We love the remote for ease of use and not having to keep going outside when the power is off/on/off again like it has been today.

EASY START,POWER AND ALMOST CANT WAIT FOR OUTAGE TO TRY IT.LOTS OF FEATURES. JUST ONE THING,THE QUICK CONNECTS FOR THE BATTERY WERE UNHOOKED.SHOULD BE PUT IN MANUAL TO HOOK THESE UP AS AT FIRST I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE ELECTRIC START WOULD NOT WORK. LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

I purchased this generator less than a month ago. It arrived perfectly intact and assembled within 20 minutes. I easily followed the directions and started it up within the hour that i unboxed. I don't have a load on it yet but will report back once it gets wired to a transfer switch.

Bought couple months ago as a lesson in how to survive a hurricane! We’ve used sparingly but have had great experience. Quick start, easy directions and awesome lower pitch sound than most items of this size. Pretty sure it’s going to give us great service!

Pros: Easily Powers our whole house (accept for HVAC system) well pump, water heater, 3 refrigerators, lights, tv....etc. ; reasonably priced; electric start; many recepticle options. Cons: loud (but it never claims to be a Quiet Generator) ; the 50 amp recepticle is positioned directly over the tire. Most HUGE 50A cords that plug in at a 90° angle will not plug in without removing the tire. (See pictures) Overall, it is exactly as advertised and we are happy with it.

Easy to unbox and assemble. Remote start works great and is very convenient. Well designed and well built, starts first try. I knew it was time to get a portable generator. I did a lot of research and the Westinghouse WGen9500 generator had the best reviews
