Rock Solid

Purchased and assembled but not used yet. This generator is very solid and easy to set up, except would be much easier for two people vs. one to lift and install the wheels and feet. I did it by myself (I’m 70) and took some creativity. It is impressive and I’ll fire it up when I get the transfer switch installed. No sense letting the gas age.

More than I expected

My first impressions of this generator were better than I would have thought. I thought the build would have been cheaper looking in person, and a general low quality, but to my surprise this gen is more like the premium ones you can buy for 3 times this cost! Another thing that blows me away is the sound level. Construction style generators like this are generally loud and obnoxious, I’ve own 3 10+ horsepower generators that have been too loud and embarrassing to use next to your neighbor. They must be doing mufflers different now because the Westinghouse 9500 is not necessarily quiet, but definitely do-able for the neighbors. I can speak just over normal volume and have a casual conversation next to it while it’s running. I love it! So glad I bought it!

Fantastic

After a couple months of reviewing different portable generators. We made the call to purchase the Westinghouse brand due to features and cost. It was delivered and very easy unpacking.. It even came with the oil and all the tools to assemble. Hurricane season is here and I am very certain it will be able to handle an needs we can give it.

Ready on Arrival!

Just received this generator and I am impressed with how easily it is to unpack, set up, and test run. Great labeling to help operation, and the owners manual is full of helpful info including electrical schematics, parts list, and troubleshooting instructions.

Really nice, compact unit.

My Westinghouse generator model WGen9500c arrived today. The generator was well packaged on a wooden pallet. Easy to unbox, easy instructions on how to apply the wheels and the front supports. And a nice package of basic tools for the spark plug and stuff. Even came with a quart of oil. Battery charger is included. And we let that run for about six hours before we tried to start. The generator started up the very first push of the button. All in all, it looks like a nice setup.

Nice looking!

Bought this unit after we lost power for 11 days last year. We had to rent a generator( smaller in size) and the cost of the rental for 11 days was more than the purchase price of this one. Haven't had to use it yet. Just unboxed it to assemble the wheels and feet. I like that it has 3 different start options. It will be easy to maneuver and set up by myself if and when it is needed. It is quite heavy. Our box came with oil spilled on it from transport but was otherwise is good condition.

Best Generator!

I purchased this unit for a dual role. Primarily for my 41ft 5th wheel camper. Secondarily for when the power goes out at home. This unit is powerful and can run everything in my house, except for the central air (I have a window unit for emergencies!). This unit is very nice and runs great.

Excellent options

Recently purchased this generator. Started right up out of the box! The price was good and should be able to power everything I need in the event that I need it. Until then it tucks nicely into a corner of my garage. Even the petite members of the family can move this around as needed.

great product

Im happy with this generator, only had some issues when the spring and rod fell off from the carburator, was able to fix it myself but since it is brand new, I was disappointed that I had to fix it so soon right after I heard that the engine wasnt running the way it suppose to.Happy with the generator
