Great generator very versatile and complete

It comes with all the options for heavy equipment connections to cellphones and a way to charge the generator battery if needed without taking the battery out. I got the GAS model but being able to get the tri-fuel system is great. really sturdy product. As a cherry on the top, the remote ON/OFF is another great feature.

Awesome experience!

I bought the WGen9500 on 12/15/21. Picked it up the 22nd and put it in the garage. Today, 1/8/22, I finally opened the box to get it set up and ready. Wheels went on nice and easy, the front supports we're the same ease. It's so much easier to move on the wheels. Putting oil in it was a little tricky because the funnel that comes with it is a little too short but it's definitely manageable. Finally I put fresh fuel in. Tried to start it a couple times and it wouldn't start. I started looking around and finally found the fuel shut off valve. I opened it up and on the second crank, it fired right up. Very easy set up. I did it alone and it took about 15-20 min for all of it. I'm having an electrician come to hook it into the breaker box so I'm able to use it to power the necessities in the house. So far, so good! Awesome machine.

Started on First Try

I live at 4,000 ft and need to change the carburetor jet. It's not simple but the video instructions are good. My only reason for removing a star is that the operators manual is not clear on when you need to unbond the neutral from the frame (consult a qualified electrician is not helpful) and doesn't give you a sticker to indicate this, if you do so. My generator ties into a Backup Power Transfer Meter, so yes, they recommended unbonding the neutral.

Quality and affordability in 1 compelling package

Given the overall great reviews everywhere online, the price and features, I decided to purchase this generator and can safely say that it is the best bang for the buck. However, I am surprised to say that this generator is as well, if not better built than other brands priced higher. Totally worth the price!

Great right out of the box

Shipping was less than one week. Unboxed the generator, filled with oil, filled with gas, and hooked up the battery fired up with no issues whatsoever. Runs great I am very pleased. I will update my review as I use the generator. My serial number tag however it was obscured from shipping. It was scuffed and could not read the entire number.

Simple set-up

Just received a box with my new wgen9500 generator. Put this sucker together in about ten minutes, filled the oil and gas tanks and started on 3rd manual pull. I then went to electronic start a BANG——worked great. Highly suggest that if you are looking for a great product, get cracking and buy this thing. Great for our Florida hurricanes.

Amazing generator with all the bells and whistles

I recently purchased the Westinghouse 9500W generator, and I am beyond impressed with its performance. From the moment I unboxed it, the experience has been exceptional. Assembly was a breeze, taking only a short time to get everything in place. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the process smooth and hassle-free. One of the standout features is the electric start. It fired up on the very first try with no issues whatsoever. This convenience is a significant upgrade from other generators I’ve used in the past. In terms of performance, the Westinghouse 9500W handles my entire load with ease. Whether I’m running multiple appliances, tools, or essential household devices during an outage, this generator doesn’t break a sweat. It provides a consistent and reliable power supply, ensuring peace of mind during critical times. Overall, the Westinghouse 9500W generator is a fantastic investment. Its ease of assembly, reliable electric start, and robust power output make it a top choice for anyone in need of a dependable and powerful generator. Highly recommended!

Ease of use.

Purchased after buying a similar nationally recognized unit through a big box store. Other brand would not start. Called tech support and they basically read the owners manual and then told me to take it to a service dealer, who told me it was a poorly made unit and to return it. Westinghouse unit showed up within 5 days, required 50% less assembly and started up first try. While I purchased it for power outages and have not used it for that yet, I powered some items with it and it worked as advertised.

Great Generator

After a lot of research we chose the Westinghouse 9500 generator as or back-up power source for our house. Best bang for the buck! This is a well built machine with the features we wanted. It arrived quickly and required minimal assembly (tires and oil). I also plan on using the generator for working around our property. Overall extremely happy with this purchase.

No more pulling cord.

Very recently purchased. Very easy setup. Attach wheels (no tools required), attach mounting feet (8mm wrench), pour in oil (provided), pour in gas, plug in battery (2 pin connector), open fuel valve, and press Electric Start or Remote Start button on fob to start. It really is that simple. The Remote Start fob is a super bonus. Came already paired. I told someone that I had bought a Westinghouse generator and he said his mother has had one for a few years and loved it. No issues. I'm sure I won't have any issues either. Very impressed. First high quality generator I have bought and the difference is very noticeable and well worth the extra money.
