This was purchased to replace my smaller generator. The assembly was quick and easy. This unit is balanced better so moving it is much easier than my other generator. The battery connection was plug together therefore a no brainer. I use it for home backup so the starting wand isn't used like a jobsite but is handy. Overall it does the job, fairly quiet for a big generator. I like the muffler on the end. Overall it's a good machine. .

Extremely happy with this generator. Remote start works perfect, electric start works perfect, 50 amp output allows me to power my house with air conditioning. I was torn between this model and the dual fuel model however the extended runtime on this model sold me. Assembly was a snap.

Just received the generator and have set it up which was very easy. Have not had to use the generator as power has been restored, but feel very confident in the product when that time comes. Has a ton more features on it than I originally though when buying it.

We purchased this generator after we had a transfer switch professionally installed. It will power the house, including our central AC, in the event of a prolonged power outage. Fingers crossed we will never need to use it, but knowing we have it in the garage ready to go gives great piece of mind.

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.

Our rural Nebraska town shut down our 100 year old power plant and started buying power from a 17 state consortium. Electrical power has been unreliable since, subject to weather, storms, and rolling blackouts. So I bought this generator and had an electrician wire it up through a transfer switch. It powers my entire house during a blackout and turns on by pressing a button on s fob. My house is only 500 sq ft, so this solution is perfect for me. It’s quality construction and works reliably. I’m very pleased.

Easy to assemble and prep for use. It took me less than 5 minutes to pull it out of the box and have it going. The assembly and before first use instructions were great. The fact that it comes with a simple maintenance sheet was helpful as well. Having never owned a generator before I wasn’t sure how frequently I needed to change the oil and/or filter so that is helpful. We live in a high fire area so generator reliability is very important when the power is cut off. After buying the smaller (5300DFv) and loving it, I bought this larger one to power more appliances and our air conditioner. Highly recommended.

I shopped and compared dozens of brands and models before deciding on the WGen9500. My Dad has had the WGen7500 for a couple years with no isaues, so I had some confidence in the Westinghouse brand even though the generator itself is made overseas (Vietnam). My purchase was to upgrade from a circa 2005 Coleman Powermate 5500 that served me well they many power outages. I was shocked that this 9500 watt generator was not much larger than the old Yamaha MZ300 powered 5500 and is actually noticeably QUIETER! Will be running it thru its paces soon after I complete a thorough and gentle break-in. My primary concern would be the THD rating -- Specs indicate up to 23% THD which would be disasterious to sensitive electronics and also would be rejected by battery backups/UPSs which I use many of. Anxious to see the actual noise level in the power output.

Love how solid this unit is built. Great layout and runs great. However, as a portable, and possibly used in some exposed conditions, I am a bit concerned about the thin wires loosely exposed and dangling from under the control panel. Maybe reroute or protect wires? Super easy to get running and supplied oil was bonus, but did need to top it up.

Researched a lot of generators as back-up for power outages, this product is hands down the most powerful at 12,500/9,500 W at a reasonable price. First generator I've owned, wish I had purchased this product years ago. Overall, Great Product and Great Price.
