Powerful Generator with electric start

I purchased this generator a couple of weeks ago. It is a superb generator. One reason I purchased it was it has a 50amp outlet, since I will use it to power my house. The electric start is also a great feature. I bought an off brand generator for Y2K and that was never able to power my whole house. I have not had a power outage yet, but have set it up to power my house as a trial, and it ran very smoothly and never struggled at all with everything in the house running. My previous generator was a pull start, and it was almost impossible to start, especially on the winter when I really needed it.

New Generator

Upon receipt I tried to get the generator running. The battery doesn't charge, so the electric start and the remote start do not work. I tried to get assistance but have not heard back from Westinghouse. I can manually start the unit, and it runs well. It is relatively quiet and can be moved pretty easily, with the fold up handle extension. I haven't needed it yet, but I believe it will do what I need. Now, if I could only get some customer support!

I was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is!

I just unboxed the generator, filled with all fluids and put wheels on! Instructions are easy to follow Fired it up and was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is! This is the 9500 watt generator! I am replacing a 9500 watt champion generator that is so much louder! I needed a generator with a 50 amp plug and this is perfect for my needs!

Very happy!

I bought this item in the last month and so happy that I did. It comes almost 100% assembled, little was needed to get it set up. I was able to use the wheels to roll it in the location that I wanted. I'm so happy I'll have it when the power goes out with all the wildfires that have been happening every year. Very happy with the product!

Easy Starting

Arrived in good shape. Installed the wheels, skid pads, oil and gas. Plugged in the battery. Turned on the power and gas, pushed the start button and started immediately. Ran it for 30 minutes, smooth as can be. If seems to be solidly built. Hopefully it will last a long time. So far I'm pleased. Time well tell.

Great generator

I love the remote start as well as the push button start....those are great upgrades to a generator. The welder who installed it was very impressed. Said it was the nicest one he had seen. Not as quiet as I would love like but I love it nonetheless. The upgrades make up for the noise.

WGen9500

Generator was delivered before expected date. Instructions were very simple to follow. The assembly was very easy and quick. Filled with oil and gas and it started immediately. I let it run for a few minutes for break in. I then plug in items to test load and had no issues at all.

No complaints

My generator just got delivered a few days ago. Quick easy assemble and started on the first try with one push of a button. It was the only time I ran it so far and have not ran it with a load yet but have nothing but good things to say about it so far

Easy Setup, great emergency generator

We habitually lose power several times a year because we live in the country. The last time the electricity was out for days. I was worried about food getting spoiled. This generator foots the bill. I need to explore all the options it offers because I only used the 120v outlets for the refrigerator/freezer. It definitely gives you ‘piece of mind’ when Mother Nature gets nasty. Great product and would recommend..

Perfect For Hurricanes

This generator is very easy to operate. I just wired my home for a direct connect/transfer switch and when the electrician connected the generator it ran the entire house without a birp. Even the central AC worked fine. Highly recommend this generator and thanks to Westinghouse for making it affordable.
