Perfect timing!

The generator was delivered at 12:30, it took me about one hour to assemble, fuel it and test it, and by 5:00 our power went out, so I rolled out the generator, started it, connected it, and it worked perfectly for the several hours until our power was restored. Perfect timing!

Easy to assemble and very well built.

I purchased this generator in the event I loose power. I took in consideration that it had both electric/pull start capabilities. Also it had a 50 amp outlet. The generator started its first time right out of the box. I tested the generator loaded with an air compressor ,wall mounted AC, hot water heater and lights. The generator took care of the loads with no problems.

Awesome Generator!

Great generator. Easy to use. Quiet. Fired right up! Minor damage from shipment. One of the wheel axle "brackets" was bent so the axle would not go through. I was able to bend it back and slide the axle through. In addition, one of the bars above the gas tank is bent. It is not touching the gas tank, but still bent. Damage does not cause any issues and is not worth the hassle of returning for a replacement.

WGen9500DF Very happy runs great & is well built.

Very happy with my purchase only problem and it's very small all, of the literature states it has 2 5v USB plugs it's even on the schematic but there are none on the generator I received, like I said no big deal. It's a great generator and the dual fuel is perfect and the price and delivery is excellent.This is directly from the literature (Features two GFCI 120V 5–20r standard household receptacle, one transfer switch ready 120V L14-30R, one RV ready 120/240V 14–50r, and two 5V USB ports; All outlets have rubber covers for added safety)

Portable Generator 9500/12,500

I purchased this a week ago and it arrived right on time. Set up was easy and clearly spelled out in the instruction booklet. I am pleased to have purchased this. It looks like a very sound unit. I use the chain for my garage to put the tires and feet on.

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.

Remote start

Just received my wgen9500. Starts right up , has so many features for the price. Has visual gas gauge on top. Remote start, usb not sure if I would use that. But I could see my children being plugged in. Has a main breaker. My only issue is for the wheels it should be on one rod. It’s split. If that is my only problem with it I’ll take it.

Generator

We bought the Westinghouse 9500c generator to supply our needs when we lose power. Love the push button start; fired up with no problem. Easy to move; love how the handle folds down when not using. Easy to connect to our power system. We feel secure knowing we have this fantastic generator to keep us turned on when the lights go out.

GOT IT TODAY - NO FREE COVER FOR ME

After unpacking it I place the generator on its engine side and installed the wheels and legs. Looking forward to cranking it up tomorrow. Interesting that there are so many comments to this machine. Why? Because they were giving away a FREE cover! Great gimmick! But now they have run out of covers to give away. I will try to put in another comments once I start the machine and flip the switch on the breaker board.

Easy Setup

Shipping was quick and arrived in good shape. Assembly was minimal and easy, just pin on the 2 wheels and 4 bolts for the feet. Added oil and fuel. Started quicker than expected, thought it might take a little bit to get the fuel into the carb, but fired right off. Seems to work with a small load, have not had a chance to load it up yet.
