Easy setup and operation, Powered whole house!

We ordered this generator because our electrician suggested Westinghouse. We finally got to use it for a full-day power outage a few weeks back. The electric battery start is great and it's fairly easy to move with the wheels attached despite its size. It started right up and literally ran our whole home's needs without any trouble (heater, hot water, lights, computer, tv, 2 fridges). The only thing I wish were different is if it could be quieter, but any generator this size is going to be loud. Basically, it does a great job and we are very satisfied!

Peace of Mind!

We bought this after going 12 days without power in our home following an ice storm in October 2020. We have such peace of mind now, knowing that we won't go through that again! We love the ease of storage, and the capability this generator has. We'll never be in that position again!

So Far So Good

We purchased this generator several months ago after experiencing numerous power outages in our neighborhood. After researching several options, we chose this one for the capacity and features. Love the remote start feature! It came in an open frame with wheels which makes it very easy to maneuver and it is easy to operate.

Great product for a reasonable price!

I recently bought this product after experiencing not having power due to Hurricane Beryl. My wife and I stayed with my son-in-law because they have a Westinghouse generator. I was impressed by how powerful it is and has great features too. I decided to buy a Westinghouse Wgen9500c series. I am confident of this great product.

Good for home.

Generator works well for 1500 square-foot home. Generator is easy to use Put together and to understand. Weston house is a well-known company with good products and this is one of them. I will purchase this generator again if I had to or other Western House products.

Westinghouse Gen9500 Generator

I purchased the Westinghouse 9500 Generator recently and was very pleased with the generator. After unboxing & performing the before startup procedures it started up with hardly any cranking. This unit is much easier to use than the prior unit I had. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to purchase a top of the line Generator!

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.

WGen9500 is a great addition to my farm

I replaced my old generator with the WGen9500 with is a significant step from the prior generator with 5500 running watts. My primary purpose is to provide power to out rural homes but also to bring power to our 260 acre cattle farm. It's been in operation for alittle over 20 hours and performed to my expectations. It is far less noisy than my previous but is still don't park it next to the bedroom window. Start is great....simply push the start button....or the remote or if you really want to you can pull a pulley. I put the generator on a trailer to pull to a remote sites where it easily handled power demand from my equipment. The generator runs smoothly with little vibration and remained in place....and has plenty of plugs to support a work site. It is well designed, easy to service and use.

Well built, good output, good price

We were about to buy an installed, natural gas whole-house backup generator, but the trenching, new 400 amp service (electric company requirement), and on and on added about 50% to the already high price. This will keep us going through our too-frequent power outages and keep the heat on and the refrigerators and freezer running, and we can always take it somewhere if we want. I do plan on installing a tri-fuel converter, and this generator will easily allow that without cutting the frame of our new generator. We don't have propane but do have natural gas, which will be far easier than carrying and storing dozens of gallons of gasoline.

Very powerful

I just finally got this all set up and running after a week and love it. I love the push button start and the remote start option. So easy. It was very easy to set up and get started. Took a couple try’s to turn over but that’s normal. This thing is powerful enough to run my whole house. I tested it. I’m talking all my plugs, lights, fans, and appliances. Water heater, boiler, ac, water softener, and well pump. With room for more
