grear quality and features for the price.

Purchased product a short time ago and have used for several hrs with no issues what so ever.Living remotely in maine, we loose power frequently throughout the winter months and now feel very secure knowing we have the stand by power. I am very pleased with this unit and look forward to many years of use.

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!

Works well.

Easy to install feet & wheels. Starts easily with push button, remote, or pull starter. I am 1 hour into the break in process so far. Not too loud. The manual says to turn the ECO mode switch off before starting and talks about the advantages of the ECO mode; but there is no ECO mode switch on my generator.

Very well built

I am 67 as was worried about being able to move a 200lb generator. After installing the wheels and legs(super easy), I just flipped the handle up and off I went. Very well balanced and great leverage. Very simple and easy to follow instructions for start up. Compact and lot's of extra power.

Everything Needed

After extensive research I purchased the WGen9500 to power my necessary household electronics. The electrician hooked up the transfer switch and cable box and now I'm able to power my 3 ton heat pump unit, fridge, and necessary lighting. Customer service was great. After unpacking I couldn't find remote. Less than 24 hrs after my call, I received a call and the service rep walked me through the places to look and sure enough it was attached to the pull start cord. Setup was easy - 2 pads and 2 wheels. Easily movable with handle. Hopefully will never lose power but if we do it is nice knowing that I have something that will power the essentials.

Great price/value for a backup generator

Nicely packaged. Had to get the jets straight from Westinghouse for my 6000 foot elevation, as nobody else had them. They were cheap, included several different jets and arrived before the generator. There were no instructions and of course a spring thingy popped out from somewhere. I was able to figure out that it kind of laid in there loosely. It is fairly loud, but I figure the neighbors can plug in if an outage gets long.

Power to spare

I bought this generator to have backup power during hurricane season. I hooked it up to my circuit breaker the day I got it. I was able to power my whole 2200 square foot house, with the exception of the whole house air conditioning unit which I did not try. Very happy with the initial result, we will see how she does in a real power outage.

Home and Farm Standby Generator

Purchase to use as standby power for home and farm. Will use with interlocked 60 amp breaker in the property master disconnect panel. Will have power to house and all out buildings. I installed all the switches, interlock, circuit breaker and inlet box. Generator was easy to setup following the easily explained instructions.

Can't beat the price for the amount of Watts

I purchased this generator after my father purchased the same unit and was satisfied with the quality for the price. Compares to other units in this price range you get more features with Westinghouse. My only complaint is the unit showed up scratched. Thats the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5

Very Well Made Generator

Have this set-up to attach to a power-inlet on my home for charging the breaker box. Assembly was easy with just a mounting of the wheels. Was delivered with out incident via freight truck. Not to heavy for one person to roll to the hookup location. Starts fast, runs strong, powers needed circuits. I am very pleased with this purchase and am ready for the hurricanes that I hope never come.
