Looks good so far!

This is our first generator, after a lot of research we decided on the Westinghouse WGen9500. It feels/looks well built and the basic assembly was very simple. Love the features and the remote start. Excited to have it, hope we don't have to use it! (Florida)

Gas gauge not covered

I bought this generator and put half a tank of gas. When we moved the generator the gas spills out of the gas gauge. I am told the generator has to be level when moved except there’s only 2 wheels so you have to pick up on one side so it won’t be level. Since there is no cover on the gas gauge and it is open to the tank we will also get dirt and dust in the gas tank.

Power backup for home solution.

Purchased the generator online and received it in excellent condition. The power ratings are exactly what I need to power most of my home appliances. After suffering through multiple hurricanes, I am finally confident I found the product I was looking for. I am happy with the quality and the fit and finish. Solidly build and a 3 year warranty tells me Westinghouse stands by their product.

Convience and Great Price

I really enjoyed the convenience of the traditional model in the configuration of plug - ins. Also, the remote starter and starter on the engine is nice for when storms come through and there is little lag - time in the amount of energy usage available. I purchased this product to help with heating water in the hot water heater.

Highly rated Generator

I did some research before buying this generator. Living in the woods of Maine, it's a certainty we will lose power a few times over the winter, sometimes for days. This generator powers my whole house, including well water pump, so I feel much more secure as winter approaches. Well built. All the features I need, including remote electric start, and quieter running. Very happy with my Westinghouse generator.

Perfect Size

Bought this generator to act as an emergency backup incase the power went out for a few days. Came clean and works well. It will our well, water heater, fridge, some lights and a few appliances. good size for backup power. The only downside is that the generator weighs 218.9 pounds so it's a bit of a lift. The price is also good but not great.

Perfect choice for our rural farm

I have waited a long time to purchase a generator, following the written reviews. After the latest storm I knew it was time. I’m happy with my choice of Westinghouse. I was disappointed in the finding the steel frame surrounding the gas tank dented/pushed in. I

Westinghouse WGen9500c review

After researching and reading some of the nearly all 5 star reviews / ratings regarding the WGen9500c generator, I decided to purchase one. After receiving it, and following the easy start guide and user manual, the generator started at the push of the remoted key fob. It ran extremely smooth and provided the necessary power with no hesitation. Due to Westinghouse's reputation and quality of their products, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a well built and dependable protatble generator! I'm completely satisfied. Well done Westinghouse!

Home generator for bad weather

I just bought the Westinghouse WGen9500c for our home, in case of bad weather. I put a load on it to run some important items in the house and it performed nicely. I plan on having a transfer switch put into our electrical box. We feel better that we have the generator that has a running rate of 9500w and 12500 as a peck rate, in case we lose power.

Great Price & Features

My wife and I have talked about getting a generator for a long time, being that we live on the East coast, so we decided to purchase now or never. I spoke with several folks about portable generators and it came down to price and quality, which left me to choose between Westinghouse and a near competitor, as both had excellent reviews... although I do like reading negative feedback, I prefer constructive criticism over do not buy this product because that’s a fatalistic mentality... likely it’s the user not the product, which is what I find more often is the case, as a maintainer. I have not started the generator as I have been busy but I plan to start it up tonight. I assembled the generator last night but did not hook up the battery, as I wanted to wait until I was ready to start it, which requires connecting and a charge first. Nevertheless, I am excited to see what this generator is capable of. I will add a video when I start it up tonight (if possible).
