I chose this generator because of its features.

This generator was highly recommended by my Electrician. It has the power to run most of, if not my entire house. It's features make it easy to operate and I felt the price was very competitive. The reviews on line gave it an excellent rating and it has a competive warranty. It's for these reasons and that it's a Westinghouse product that I made the decision to purchase this generator over several other choices.

AWSOME Generator

I bought this generator to replace the much smaller one I have that I was using to power my living quarters of my horse trailer which was actually to small,, it would have a hard time running the A//C on my trailer. However this new generator WGen9500 is big enough to run the whole trailer and then some!!!!! An it is big enough to run the house if it ever needs to.. I love this generator it is nice looking and easy to operate...

Large load generator

So the generator purrs like a kitten. Overall it is not that loud. I have it about 20 feet from my house and you can barely hear it inside. It looks pretty, as if that matters, and has a lot of hookups to connect multiple size connections. The push button start, remote start and manual start are all great to have. Push button makes it so easy to start. I have not tested it with a load yet as our power has not gone out, nor have I had it at a job site yet, but so far I give this generator 5 stars. I gave it 4 for portability because of its weight, but honestly all generators are heavy so not really a big deal. Wheels certainly help. Seems to be a great buy at a great price.

High Quality and Just Right

This is the generator that will handle anything you'll need. With 9500 watts it will power your house and garage, or your RV. It is high quality unit with a well designed control panel. I love the electric start option and the remote start fob. It was easy to assemble. Love the included battery charger to keep it ready for service when needed. The large fuel tank means you can sleep all night and refill in the morning. The perfect balance of everything a generator should have.

can supply enough power for my entire house

The only improvement would be to make on 4 wheels Its pretty heavy and a little awkward dragging it any distance.I have about a 2200 sq ft house ,pump my water,pump-up septic ,electric hot water heater.It handles the whole house with a little strain sometimes.You just have to be a little mindful not to use heavy load items at the same time.Perfect for the price!

Good features and power, with good reviews

I just purchased this product and have not had a chance to run it yet. However during assembly, installing the feet to the frame one of the welded bolts were not aligned properly with the hole on the frame. I had to screw the bolt in from the back side, and bore out the hole a bit on the frame. This allowed me to bolt it from the feet mounting side, however it did strip the bold a bit. Besides that the overall quality looks good.

Impressive Features

We bought this after surviving the winter apocalypse of Texas this year. After extensive research and hours of studying different models and brands this Westinghouse was best for our needs. Not only does it look nice and strong, it has different options to power up our equipment and home appliances. It is user friendly and I hope that it will last for a long time. This is a necessary and good investment for families during times of inclement weather and unexpected power outages. Highly recommend this product!

WGen9500C

"I recently acquired the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12,500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, and it has exceeded my expectations. This generator has proven to be an incredibly reliable and versatile power source for my home, particularly during unexpected outages."

Easy to Assemble, Easy to Start

I bought the generator after losing power in a recent storm. It arrived and required minimal setup (attached the legs and wheels and that's it) and with the addition of oil (included) and gas, it started up quickly and at the push of a button. While it is loud, given it's power output and long run time on a tank of gas, I can more than overlook that.

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.
