Love push button start!

I weathered first winter storm. The WGen9500 exceeded my expectations. 1. Push button start was great when temp was 5 degrees. It was set-up to run safely outside if needed. It was. 2. Battery trickle charge is great. 3. Much quieter than expected but still not super quiet. . 4. Could've run 12 hours before running out of gas.

can supply enough power for my entire house

The only improvement would be to make on 4 wheels Its pretty heavy and a little awkward dragging it any distance.I have about a 2200 sq ft house ,pump my water,pump-up septic ,electric hot water heater.It handles the whole house with a little strain sometimes.You just have to be a little mindful not to use heavy load items at the same time.Perfect for the price!

Solid Unit - Fired right up - One Little Issue

Received today, shipping was a week later than originally stated - no big deal. The unit was clean, appears well made, fitting wheels/footrests was super easy, and fired right up. It is soon to evaluate the serviceability. One complaint - As I rolled the unit into the open to start it one wheel bearing fell apart. I am sure that customer service will do the right thing...

I Purchased for the extra features

I just completed my research of many other generators, And there just didn't seem to be anything comparable to this one. Push Button Start, Remote Start ! This one will serve my currant needs and my future plans. RV plug is just a bonus for me. Easy set up, comfortable transport handle, easy start up. My house was built with a transfer panel, I still need to complete all my testing. But i'm sure there will be no issues.

Plenty of Dependable Power

I live in Florida, and I was tired of not having enough power during outages to run my air conditioner, two refrigerators and a freezer. So I decided to upgrade my generator. The WGEN9500 has enough muscle to use a power panel interlock (rather than a more costly transfer switch) so that I can choose run any circuit in my home during the outage. Some may find this more inconvenient than using a transfer switch, however, this setup works well for me. My unit came well packaged, was easy to assemble; just the wheels and 2 feet. After putting in the oil with the funnel (both supplied) and connecting the battery then filling with 87 octane fuel (regular) it fired right up and tested out perfectly. I look forward to many years of dependable backup power from my new Westinghouse generator.

Awesome Generator

Reviewed many generators and Westinghouse WGen9500 had the best fit and and fuel economy for my needs. Came shipped to my door with very little assembly required. Fired right up first push of the button and ran exceptionally quiet. Nice small package and will fit easily in the camper and garage. Very happy with purchase.

Impressive build!

I purchased this generator after a recent extended power outage. After thorough research I decided on this Westinghouse WGen9500 model. Although I have yet to use it other than a test run, it has a very impressive look and build to it. Started right up after adding oil and gas. Impressive features as well, including the 50A outlet. Although I don't hope for a power outage, I am very excited to know I am covered next time.

Highly Satisfied

I am highly satisfied with this terrific Westinghouse 9500 generator. The features are fantastic. I tested this machine out and it lived up to the advertisement and more. I'm telling all my friends who are in the market for a generator to be sure and purchase this one!!!

Arrived safely packed and complete

Well packed for shipment and complete with a charged battery and a bottle of engine oil. Took less than 10 minutes to unpack and add wheels and feet. Added gas and connected battery plug, then hit the starter button - ran immediately. Tried hand starting, and it fired with the second pull.
