Great Features and Power for the price

Easy setup after generator arrived. Added oil and gas and it fired right up with the electric starter (the remote control start/stop is a nice touch}. Power was a steady 122/244 volts at 61 HZ. The power meter built into the unit seems accurate compared to my meter. Haven't used it for an outage yet, but I have no reason to doubt its quality.

Easy to assemble

Received as a gift. I have had the generator about two weeks and haven't started or used it yet. Easy to assemble but I tipped and supported it to the front (muffler side) to install the wheels and support feet rather than to the side as the instructions implied. Appears to be sturdy and I am anxious to try it. The only drawbacks I can determine at this time are the locations of the oil filler neck and the manual chock which may prove awkward for an older individual.

Reliable Power Backup Solution: A Review of the We

The Westinghouse WGen9500c generator has been a game-changer for me during power outages. With its impressive 9500 running watts and 12000 peak watts, it effortlessly powered my refrigerator, bedroom lights, kitchen appliances, and even the AC unit, ensuring comfort and convenience during an unexpected blackout. What sets this generator apart is its user-friendly design. Equipped with both remote control and push-button start features, starting it up is a breeze. Maneuvering the generator around my property was also hassle-free thanks to its convenient design. Overall, the Westinghouse WGen9500c generator has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, ease of use, and reliability. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a dependable power backup solution. Five stars from a satisfied user!

Well built with great features

Bought this unit a month ago . Have gone thru power outages and decided to buy a generator. After researching decided to go with this one. It's well built and has a lot of features like electric and remote start. Ordered on line sight unseen and i'm not disappointed with quality. Glad I bought this on. Cant wait to lose power! lol.

Nice generator

It's nice that it comes with the wheels as many don't. Easy setup in about 15 minutes from cutting open the box. Has the power to run most of the circuits in my house when the power is out, the important one anyway. I haven't actually had to use it yet but it ran good for my tests and started up immediately by remote. I wish it came with a cover. The registration card says you get one free by leaving a review but apparently Westinghouse didn't stock enough of them.

Great features and remote start.

I use this in my mobile detail business. It is easy to start. hopefully the circuit breakers will not blow as I use a dual cord carpet cleaner with a heater in it. Have not had a chance to test this yet. It has more power then my last generator. (1500 wats more and a 50 amp circuit.)

WGen9500C runs great and does everything it suppos

I purchased the generator a week ago after my 22 year old generator stopped working. This generator is much better and the technology has come a long way. This generator has remote electric start, included battery and charger and an extra 2000 watts to boot. It started right up and does everything it is suppose too.

Great features and dependability

I bought this generator a month ago in preparation for the hurricane season. It arrived in perfect condition. The setup, startup and break-in was very easy and started right up. I bought this to power my whole house and it has all the power to do that. The machine is very easy to move around even though it weighs over 200 lbs. I start it every month to keep it ready and it starts on the very first push of the button. I couldn't be happier and recommend this generator to everybody, you won't be disappointed.

START UP problems on gasoline!!

I just recieved our new WGEN9500DFc. I did everything according to the instructs for set up. I put gas in and tried to crank it. Motor turned over but would not crank. I connected propane and it cranked right up. I had my 30yr handy man with me. We checked all procedures. Unit seemed fine on propane. NOTHING on gas. I called the customer service number. They said it could take a while for a tech response. Like how long? 21 DAYS , WHAT ???!!!! I think I like the unit, but I got dual fuel because that's what I wanted. I expect it to work and not have to wait 21 DAYS!!! I hope they call me soon. I will rate it at another time.

Excellent

I am impressed as to the details in the instructions and the items which came with it. Easy to follow instructions, battery charger, battery disconnect, oil, oil funnel, and a tool kit. I have started it, but have not used it yet as I am waiting for an electrician to hook it up. But, if the attention to details is an indication of the quality of construction, it should be good.
