Great value for the price

I purchased this Wgen9500 generator during the Fall of 2019 after our local electrical supplier, PG&E, started shutting down grids because of fire danger. I had a small generator (2000 watts) but it wasn't large enough to power our needs. Did my homework, and decided on the 9,500 watt size. This unit came fast, came perfect (no damage), started the first time, and ran great. I haven't had a chance to test its capabilities during a blackout, but it should handle nearly my whole house. It is a bit heavy, and a bit noisy, but that comes with the size. The built-in handle made maneuvering it around very easy, and it is actually smaller than I had expected. Fits very nicely in my outdoor shed, very convenient to store and move around. All in all, a very good value for the price. I would recommend the Westinghouse line without reservations.

solid built

looks like a solid built generator, heavy, which is good, easy to operate, manual easy to follow, runs steady not rough, not loud, minimal vibration, have not plugged into fridge, fans or anything in house, only circular saws-15amp worm drive, did run items like hairdryer, toaster etc., will probably install transfer switch and interlock at a later date, looking forward to making most of it's power output, am very satisfied with unit, after hurricane IDA came thru I new it was time to buy one.

Great purchase

I live in an area where power outages are expected year round. After some research I bought this generator which I have set up and tested. It worked great on its test run. The next outage will be less stressful knowing this unit is powering the essentials.

Easy to start low noise

I have delivered my new generator today I am very happy, I set it up wheels, gas, add oil to the motor, check for voltage on the battery for the electric start connect the battery and I give a try, it started to the first try, my first impression about this generator was the low noise level and all the amazing features it has, as an electrician I had to many ideas, it's enough to power up my house all the appliance. including my ac unit, I'm happy with this amazing equipment and another thing That I didn't expect was the service manual the electric diagrams, and a list of the part number comes on this manual normally the part numbers never come with the manual and when you need a part you has to search all over the places to find the right part.

Great generator with nice extras

I bought this generator after a lot of research. I like the features this generator had over other models such as the remote start and automatic choke. For the rated output, I was pleased to see how compact the generator was and how quiet it was compared to others that were similar in output.

Convience and Great Price

I really enjoyed the convenience of the traditional model in the configuration of plug - ins. Also, the remote starter and starter on the engine is nice for when storms come through and there is little lag - time in the amount of energy usage available. I purchased this product to help with heating water in the hot water heater.

Awesome Whole Home Generator

I borrowed this model from a friend during a power outage. Easy to start, large 7-hour gas tank and enough power to run the entire house including the main home 5-ton AC. We saved enough in spoiled food in a single outage to pay for half the total cost. Living in Texas this is a must have. 50 Amp circuit makes powering the house easy. Ordered my own immediately after basking it the A/C for an hour.

generator WGen9500c

We bought this a few days ago for insurance after a hurricane in our area (Helene). It was easy to assemble and we started it up for about an hour and it worked well. This is a great insurance policy and a piece of mind if (and when) the electricty goes out. We are pleased.

Good for Hone Backup

This is a very good option for home home backup. It runs everything on my transfer switch, which keeps the house functioning during a power outage. Keep in mind that to truly exploit the wattage output you need to be using a 30 amp or 50 amp connection. I have heard people say that this will not run much more than a refrigerator, but that is simply not true. When paired with a transfer switch, this generator can run all that you need to get through a power outage. Wish it was a little quieter, but I lover all very good.

The best generator I have own

The best about this generator is the remote control to start it. The push or pull handle lever extends at the right angle and the other cool part is so many plugins options and metal gas tank this the best generator I have ever own. I would and have recommended this generator
