Rugged Product

I bought this generator about a month ago as a back up power source for my home and I am very happy with it. I received it 3 days after I ordered it. This generator is well built, sturdy, and has great features. It was very reasonably priced for the features, power, and build quality. I am sure it will serve our needs very well.

Hurricane preparedness on point

I bought this after Hurricane Sally left us with significant damage and no electricity for weeks. Before the next hurricane we decided a generator was a necessity and not a want. While we hope to never have another damaging storm we are relieved to know we can at the very least comfortably function with hot showers and safe food during recovery efforts.

Generator

Have yet to use it, I had a generac 6500-8000 that quit working, probably due to overload I wanted a larger size that will run my whole house, and after reading reviews on the 9500-12500 Westinghouse, I decided to go with this one. It has more features than comparable ones of this size. I gave it 4 stars because I have yet to use it

What a beast!!

Purchased the first of September and it arrived 4 days later. This generator is well made and it started up with no hesitation! Although we currently don’t have an outage, It gives me peace of mind that this thing will do a fine job on our next outage!

Excellent value for the money

Bought this a month ago when we had a local severe storm, Our electric stayed on but our daughters was off for four days. After 10 hours off we had to scramble the entire family to find enough space for her freezer and fridge contents. Because of corona virus everyone was well stocked with their own goods to avoid frequent trips to grocery store. It took six households refrigeration space to accommodate her needs and we still lost some of the cheaper condiments etc. Done right, this unit will run my entire house and the fact that it is portable will allow me to lend it out if above described circumstances happen again.

What I was looking for!

Received the generator about 3 weeks ago. Finally got the pigtail to connect to the transfer switch on Saturday. Finally got it connected today after some problems which were mine and not the generators. The big test was when we tried to see if it would run our well pump which it did. Love the fact that this generator is rated at continuous power output rather than surge output! Would I recommend it to a friend, absolutely, already have

Great Product

Provides a lot of power with a few little luxuries like remote start and multiple outlets. Yes, it is loud but not nearly as loud as other generators we have had. It is heavy but that is to be expected. The wheels and handle allow for it to be easily moved around.

So Easy

I had a 3500 watt crank generator that I didn't have the strength to start anymore. Plus, it didn't supply the whole house. After a lot of research, I found that the Westinghouse 9500c had and excellent reputation. They were right. All I had to do was put the wheels on and filled it with oil and gas. I followed the easy start instructions, pushed a button and on it went. I can run the furnace, the fridge, the lights and more. I am so happy and relieved.

Excellent quality and features

I bought this generator based on a recommendation from my electrician. Quality product with great flexibility. Easy to operate. I really like the option of being able to remote start and stop the generator from in my house during inclement weather. Assembly was easy with tools, funnel and oil provided with the generator .

Great Product

Brought this unit in Nov 2022, just now got around to starting it up. Started right up and runs great. The electric start is a bonus for this old man, hopefully I won't have to use the cord to often if at all. Has a lot of great features. I have not tried with any load yet as I am just running it right now.
