Built well

It was easy to set up until I got to the "make sure the eco button is switched off". I looked all over and there is no eco button on my model. I didn't want to hurt the generator. And for the life of me, I cannot think of a single reason why you would need a remote fob for the generator? A generator needs so much one on one attention, that I think a remote start key fob is useless and just added to the cost. It started right up and sounds great! I believe I have made a very good purchase here.

Love the remote start

Brought this in preparation for the hurricane season. Tested the unit, it runs great put a little load on to make sure it works. Worked just fine. Waiting for parts to connect to main power panel. I like it because it will handle all the 120volt circuits plus my 220volt air conditioner.

Powerful and Simple

I bought the Westinghouse 9500 single fuel generator online a day after hurricane Beyrl hit our area. Living in a rural area I already knew that the power was going to be out for an extended period of time. I came about two days later and life was back to normal. I stayed cool inside with it running our large window AC unit. Figured out how to wire up my well pump to it and had water. Fridge and microwave along with lights were all plugged in as well. The generator was able to run everything pretty well but out of caution I turned off the AC when I needed to use the microwave or wanted to cycle the well pump. I’m definitely going to install a 50amp power inlet box to my main breaker panel so I can power my home easier compared to running a game of Tetris with the extension cords. Definitely glad I purchased a generator but even more grateful to have purchased the Westinghouse 9500c size. I have no more concerns about power outages while living in a rural area. This thing made it a pleasant experience and I had WiFi, TV, AC, refrigerator, lights, microwave, a well pump, and whatever small appliances I needed at the time running off of the four 120v power ports. The most important of them all was the AC and coffee maker. Overall I’m satisfied with the price point and product.

Nice features

I bought the WGEN9500 to plug into my transfer box and run my whole house. I bought the unit in an emergency situation and have been unable to test it fully, however the amount of time that we ha e run it and in the limited capacity of use it performed very well.

Great features and quality at a good price

I purchased this for piece of mind if and when we loose power again for multiple days. Added oil and fuel out of the box and it started first try. Love the remote start feature. I plan to use the generator through an interlock setup with the house power.

Exactly as stated

Bought this because we live in an area that loses power during hurricanes and was tired of living in heat and with no hot water or cold food. Came boxed securely and in great condition, Easy to set wheels and if you follow instructions operates as stated.

Easy to start,solid generator, as described so far

We bought this unit after researching many options and dozens of models. So far the unit is as described. Delivered on time. We followed the instructions to get it started and it started right up. We had the generator plug put in by an electrician to be able to run just one cord. Not looking forward to an outing, but ready for the next one!

Just in case!!!

The box arrived after about 10 days late damaged. But no damage to generator. Followed instructions to assemble and prep generator for starting. Instructions were easy to follow and thorough. Generator fired up first try. Tried all 3 methods of starting. All worked. Ready to power up in case of power outage.

Impressive.

I can't say I am excited to have to use this generator, but I am ready. Maine has a lot of trees and the power will go out. I'm a 74 year old widow and choosing a generator was a bit daunting for me, but have been told by my son and electrician that I did a great job finding a "good one". I should have no problems keeping the lights on, keeping the house warm and getting some household chores done. I feel much better knowing I won't need to mess with the hazard of having a gas heater in the house.
