Great Buy!

We FINALLY caved in and bought a generator. After extensive research and asking friends we decided on the Westinghouse WGen9500. I mean, it’s Westinghouse, been in this business forever. This generator is also number one in the top 10 Generators. We have only used it twice bc of power outages. We moved into a house that is already wired up to support plugging it in and running it. We have run everything in this house and not one time has it tripped. This thing is a Godsend. With the way things are going it’s extremely important to have something that will give you the electricity to live your daily life. My mother who lives a few houses away is diabetic and I’m glad she can come here during an emergency and have a cool place to store her medication.

Arrived and functioned as advertised!!

Just received this generator. Unloaded it, followed the set up instructions and it fired right up!! I used all three methods; pull start, electric start and remote start, no issues. Holds voltage as advertised. I don’t want to lose power to my home but am ready when it happens!!

Portable generator

We purchased this generator as Insurance against severe storms and losing our power! We live in Northern WI and snow storms and wind can cause power outages. 2 summers ago we lost power for 8 hours and it’s hard to keep everything cold in summer and house warm in winter

Nice generator

I bought this generator a few weeks ago after reading reviews and over ratings of portable whole house generators. So far I'd agree with the unit being highly rated. It was relatively easy to attach the included items to complete the setup after unpacking it and it started instantly with a push of a button. Although I have yet to use it's full potential, the generator looks very well made and I feel confident that it will work as necessary after the 5 hour break-in period.

Great generator

We experience power outages frequently where I live and I needed something to offset that. My son works from home and has to have internet. I am glad that I purchased this generator. Have only had it for about a month and it has already been of great use. It's a work horse.

Becareful what you buy!

I bought this generator through amazon Oct, of 2020. Was only used when power to our house would go out, so I have less than 20 hours on it. Generator started running bad found the inside carb stud was broken in half with the threaded part still in the head. Called Westinghouseabout the 3 year warranty wont cover the work. My opinion bad workmanship por quality of parts.

Great Generator!

So far the generator has been Great! I did a test for my in home hook up and it ran everything, I mean Everything A/C, Well pump, you name it it does it. It is not that loud. Little noise but when your without power whats more important? Noise or power? (A/C). Its about the same noise as the Duromax 4850 I replaced it with. Cranks up every time when I do the monthly check and I haven't had to really put it to the test yet and hope I don't have to but if I do it will hold its own. After last year, being hit by Hurricane Florence In NC I thought It would be best to upgrade to a bigger Generator that ran everything and the price was great. Purchased it Online from Home Depot. They priced matched because it was cheaper from another known retailer. I would recommend this to anyone.

Well built and sturdy

I bought this generator after this past month's ice storm. It came with detailed instructions and seems to be very well built. I've not had to use it yet, but so far I am pleased with this purchase. I may update my review after the initial test run. I plan to connect it to our house via transfer switch.

WGen9500 Review - Looks good!

Just recently purchased and so far so good. Setup was easy and everything in the instruction manual seemed pretty straight forward. Fired up right away and tested fine on a few appliances. Next step will be detailing out the wattage needed for different appliances to see what I can run simultaneously.

Very pleased.

I’m very please with this generator. Although I’ve never had to use it, I do start it monthly and run it for 20 minutes or so. It’s never let me down. It’s always started and run perfectly. I hope I never have to really use it in an emergency situation but I have no doubt it will preform perfectly. It’s vey heavy and extremely well built. It’ll last me a lifetime.
