Reliable portable generator with sufficient power

This is my fourth generator in 25 years used specifically for backup power at our shore house in Maryland. Although the other generators still operate they have become dated. This generator in quite simple to start with a push of a button locally or remotely. There is still the ability to pull start if necessary. The power is sufficient to operate backup water pumps as well as refrigerator/freezers and household electronics. The price closed this deal. Quality and ease of operation with low noise and generous power output made this an outstanding purchase.

Great Generator

I just bought this WGen 9500 and as soon as it came out of the box you could see the quality. It was very well put together and even cam with an angled funnel for making adding the engine oil a snap. Everything works great and has the correct output for voltage. I am definitely ready for the next power outage in my area. Thanks Westinghouse!!

Easy to Use!

We have just used this for the first time. It's also the very first time we have ever used a generator at all, so we really weren't sure what to expect in terms of ease of use. Directions were clear and easy to follow, and the generator started right up as soon as we needed it. We love the remote for ease of use and not having to keep going outside when the power is off/on/off again like it has been today.

Super easy setup and long running

I purchased this generator over a month ago and finally decided to take it out of the box and get it set up. Over night the power went out and stayed out for over 2 days. The set up was VERY easy and in no time at all we were up and running. I would recommend this generator to everyone!

Awesome generator

This generator is Awesome! It came with everything needed for start up. Hooked up battery and the generator started after a 1 second push on the electric start the first time. This generator will be used to temporarily power my house during a power outage. It powers almost my entire house without issue. My only gripe is the generator is heavy and although on wheels and I am able to move it without a problem it would be too hard for my wife to move it if she ever needed to.

Perfect Unit

I bought this unit last year in August 2019 to prepare for outages we experience several times during the winter. Well, never had an outage until 10/2020 - I never got it ready to run until this outage, put the gas and oil in it, hooked the battery up and hit the start button BAM! started right up and been running for 16 hours on same full tank.

Just received unit

Excellent delivery right to the door of my choosing. Very well packaged unit arrived in excellent condition. Just got it out of the box and starting to assemble. It has a battery and oil, good to go. I’m leaving now for the hardware store to npbuy four nuts missing to attach the feet on the bottom then will get it started.

Great Features WGEN9500c

I did a lot of research and found that this generator had all the features I needed and the ability to run different appliances. We just received it today, and I am waiting for my electric company to install a Generlink switch so once it is running, I will submit another review.

Strong Standby!

We experience power outages 3-4 times a year regardless of the maintenance the linemen do. A friend suggested this brand as "rock solid" and he was right! easy to put together along with engine prep and in using the key fob fired right up on the first hit! the push button start on the unit itself fired up in one push . . .now i know my wife can start it if i'm not home and its gives her confidence to!
