Enjoy Comfort During Power Outages

We have been having multiple-day power outages after the recent storms, and since we live in a rural area, are usually the last to get power restored. The most recent outage lasted over 7 days, which meant no water from our well pump (for showers, or toilets), or heat (our home got down to 54°). Having to go to a restaurant to use "the facilities" or get warmed up was just awful. I was determined not to go through that again, so I bought this generator after reading reviews and consulting an electrician to determine the size. The remote electric start is a blessing since I am not as capable as I used to be. This generator meets the needs of my entire house without breaking stride, runs reliably, and I feel relieved that I can count on having power when I need it. This is definitely a purchase every home owner should have considering our aging infrastructure.

Rugged Product

I bought this generator about a month ago as a back up power source for my home and I am very happy with it. I received it 3 days after I ordered it. This generator is well built, sturdy, and has great features. It was very reasonably priced for the features, power, and build quality. I am sure it will serve our needs very well.

Great Features

I have only owned this for 2 weeks. I was very amazed at the quality of this machine. Very easy to assemble and set up. Ready to go in 20 minutes. Started right up and ran smooth. Much quieter than expected. The remote start is very cool. It should power my whole house. Can't wait till the next storm.

What a beast!!

Purchased the first of September and it arrived 4 days later. This generator is well made and it started up with no hesitation! Although we currently don’t have an outage, It gives me peace of mind that this thing will do a fine job on our next outage!

Great Purchase

Purchase 2 1/2 months ago. Hooked it up to my house 3 times for test runs and it worked very well. Handles all household necessities and can run just about everything. Transitioning to generator power was very smooth and almost unnoticeable. Two weeks ago someone crashed into a power pole and the power was off for approximately 4 hours while it was being repaired. WGen9500c to the rescue - kept everything running till the repairs were complete. Very glad to have this. Good fuel consumption also, after about 5 hours of use there is still half a tank.

Easy to use and start

I'm a female and although it's heavy I am able to move it from my shed to my home when needed since it's on wheels and has a handle. It starts easy and is easy for me to use on my own. No man needed. I have it hooked up to my circuit panel and it powers almost everything in my home. I love the remote starter as well.

Attention to detail really is evident

It comes with a battery, a battery maintainer/charger and the connection is on the operator panel! Great detail. It ships with the oil needed and the wheels are easy to install on the solid axles. Wheels even have bearings! I was pushed to purchase a lesser brand and I am so glad I did not.

Powerful

I never thought about a gen till recent looking back at the struggles of blackouts thru out the years. That’s over now thanks to Westinghouse 9500/12500 gas, I can power my whole house. Turned on like a champ me and my family are super excited. Com on black outs…I got something for you. Lol.

Very nice unit

I bought the generator to have an available power source after big storms come through. We have 5 homesteads across the metro area, and sooner or later one of us will be without power for an extended period. Features are great, and I have run one long test run without any issues. Everything worked perfect. Very happy with this purchase.

Just what we needed

Generator arrived quickly and well packaged. It was very easy to do the little assembly required (wheels). The electric start feature is fantastic - no more trying to jerk on a pull cord in the dark or bad weather (my shoulder appreciates this). Overall, this is a very good purchase and investment since we live in a hurricane zone.
