Electric Start/Transfer Switch Ready

I bought this generator on May 30, 2020. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I crank started it and electric started it and it started immediately. I ran it for awhile and then put a load on it . It has run flawlessly. I am very pleased with this generator and I would recommend it to anyone preparing to buy a generator.

Excellent piece of equipment

Easy to finish the assembly, and nice to have the proper engine oil and funnel sent with the unit. Push button start is so much better than the old pull start. Glad to have this equipment on site before the hurricane season starts. I very much like the fact the manual has instructions for valve adjustments and basic maintenance. Runs well.

Just what I need

I live in an area that has frequent winter outages and since I live at the end of the power grid, I am one of the last to get service restored. I bought the generator to fill in that power gap. In addition, I have a RV trailer that uses 30 amp service and with the generators 30 /50 amp capabilities, I can now go dry camping and not worry about draining my battery. The remote is an added bonus as I will be able to start it without getting out of a warm location.

Very impressed

Ordered online from a home supply store. Setup was very straight forward and took about 20 minutes. I really like the voltage output on the display panel and the remote starter. Starts easily and is not too loud. I have a transfer switch on my home for 30 AMP service. I like that it also has ability to supply 50 AMP service - though I don't have a need for it. Supplying 9500 running WATTS should be adequate to supply everything I need for a power outage. I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend to others.

50A Portable Generator
5 out of 5 stars review

WGen9550c Westinghouse Portable Generator

I unpacked the generator and then went through the manual provided to understand the generator, its setup instructions, and operational procedure. Following the setup and startup procedure I started the generator and it started right up. The generator has so many advanced features compared to my other generator (20 years old). I am going to enjoy the push button and remote start features and the capacity of 50Amps will allow power to most all of my household loads excluding electrical oven. I purchased the 50A generator so that after installing a soft start on my central A/C unit I can operate it when needed to using this generator. Also, the automatic shutoff features are an added bonus.

Easy to assemble

I was pleasantly surprised how simple it was to assemble and operate this Generator. The instructions are clear and readily understandable. It came in a compact package with everything I needed. It has many features which will prove to be very useful.

Great Generator

I've been wanting a standby generator for years but way too spendy! This one fit the bill for my home and the wattage that I need. It arrived on time, no troubles. After I put it together and filled it with oil, it started right up. I hooked it up to some heaters and a vacuum and ran it for an hour with no problems. The big test will be when the power goes off again and where I live, that is quite often. Overall, a very nice generator and I love the controls and the remote start. Very well built!

Nice generator

Just finished the break in period and it’s worked as advertised. It’s only use will be backup power to our home. During the break in period it handled the loads it was bought for with power to spare. The remote start is a nice feature and will come in handy if my family has to get it started.

Very affordable for buyers

I bought this unit because I just had a 50 amp plug installed to run my generator in case of loss of electricity. I live in South Louisiana and going this route is so much cheaper than a whole house unit. We live about 3 miles from the Vermilion Bay.
