Just the right size generator

I purchased this generator to power my garage until the permanent power is hooked up. Received it today, the instructions were easy to read, it came with oil for the engine. I Installed the wheels, hooked up the battery and added gas, it started right up and I used it for about 2 hours to power my saws and compressor. I’m happy!!! When the permanent power is hooked up I plan on using it for a back up for the house if the power should go out. Very happy with my generator so far and just to let you know it can be moved very easily and I would recommend this product.

Great features!

Instructions were excellent, although rather than attaching battery wires as described (which was already done), required to locate and connect a wire connection found by tracing wires. Once done, started immediately on first attempt. Will be having an electrician connect to my house panel.

Great Generator for the price

We recently purchased the WGen9500 generator and couldn't be happier. It is large enough to power all major appliance in our 4000 sq ft home. The unit seems sturdy, has strong welds, easy to move...its pretty close to perfect. We were pleasantly surprised on how nice the unit really is. I would recommend and would buy again.

Awesome Product

I originally had a diesel generator that could power my whole home in a power outage, this unit is not only has more wattage, but is insanely quiet. I couldn't believe when I first started it how quiet it was. Everything worked as it should, so far I am impressed with it, after I finish the break in period I will hook it up and give it a crack at powering the entire home.

A Winner!

I really like this generator. Instructions were well-written and easy to follow thus making assembly a breeze. It has numerous handy features not found on many competitors. My favorite four features are....... 1) Electric start with key fob remote 2) Auto choke feature (No need to set to "choke" before starting.) 3) Automatic high CO shut-off safety feature 4) 20, 30 and 50 amp outlets. Most competitors offer 20 and 30 amp outlets, but few offer a 50 amp outlet. People with large homes and multiple refrigerators, freezers, electric ranges, A/C system, well pump, sump pump, etc. will find this invaluable. I also like the metal fuel shut-off valve versus plastic found on most. This is indicative of a well made unit.

Solid on first use

On first use, it seems to be a really solid unit. I filled it up with gas and oil, moved the choke to cold start and pushed the start button....2 cranks later, yes it continues to run the start cycle until it starts, it fired right up. I ran it for 6hrs and not a hiccup. Will see how durable it is long term, no reason at first glance to doubt it, but a very nice generator for the money.

Powerful and easy to start!

Received my generator last week and just had it a transfer switch installed so that all I have to do it plug it in to my house to get power. My house is 3000 sq ft and it powers 1/2 of the house, including one a/c unit, and two freezers! Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect

Great generator will easily power my house the next time there is an outage. Started on the first try the remote starter was already programmed. Also I didn’t think the generator was very loud for the amount of power it provides. This is a great purchase Westinghouse has been doing it for a long time so I trust this product.

Easy Starting

Arrived in good shape. Installed the wheels, skid pads, oil and gas. Plugged in the battery. Turned on the power and gas, pushed the start button and started immediately. Ran it for 30 minutes, smooth as can be. If seems to be solidly built. Hopefully it will last a long time. So far I'm pleased. Time well tell.

WGen9500.

Kept the refrigerator running plus some lights using extension cords during the PG&E power shut downs. The only issue is that one of the 20 amp duplex outlets stopped working after just a few hours of operation so I need to get it fixed. Hope to eventually get it set up to hook up to the house through the 14-50 R outlet.
