Quick and easy

Assembly was quick and easy. Added the oil and gas and the unit started right up. The unit does all of the choke operation, so all my family has to do is verify it has gas and push the start button. I live in Florida so hopefully I will not need to use it any time soon.

New generator

I needed a new generator & a friend of mine who is a mechanic has had 2 for a couple of years, he couldn’t say enough good things about it. So I bought one to replace our old one, it lasted over 20 years. I’m using it to power our house during the storms & my hunting camp over the season. I know it’s going to do great.

WGen 9500 Dual Fuel Generator

We purchased this generator as we had some remodeling done in our home and opted to include the electric setup for a generator. After MUCH reading of reviews we decided on this generator. It actually came earlier than expected, delivery by truck and didn't take long for it to be unloaded. The setup, for someone who has never dealt with this type of product was very easy. To make sure we did it correctly we watched a few unboxing type reviews on Youtube. Set and ready to go in under an hour! We had our first chance to really try the generator out recently when our area lost power for about 4 hours. We gave it a trial run and it worked just as expected...perfectly! We are in the Buffalo NY area and winters usually bring power outages with the bad snowstorms. We now have our fridge and freezer protected against spoilage. We used our lights, power cords etc during this last outage and did not have one issue. We are also glad that we have a choice with the Dual Fuel option. Thank you for making such a high quality product.

BONUS GIFT

Excellent Generator. Lost power twice this winter for periods ranging roughly 2 days+. The Westinghouse generator had no problem in keeping all the essentials of the home powered along with proper lighting and heating to the home for my newborn. Highly reliable when needed. Majorly recommend

Fantastic Generator!

Received the generator a couple days ago and it started right up after making sure all the oil levels and battery were good. I cant wait to convert it to natural gas/Propane so that I can use a cleaner source of fuel. This generator will last me for years to come and will power everything I need and more for my little one story home.

Happy with my purchase

While I haven't yet had a power outage, I've run this generator and I'm happy with the product. It started fine with the first attempt after filling with oil. Runs strong. I like that it came with a pretty good paper manual. The remote starter is an interesting feature and should come in handy on a day with lots of snow and no power.

Impressed!

Got my new WGen last week and just now got to unpacking it. I have 3 Gens (Cat, Honda, and now this Westinghouse). I can't wait to use it. It's a beast for sure! Weighs heavier than my Honda. It has the 50 amp & 30 amp hookup, which is a plus. This will be my go-to Gen when firing up homes. (I do cleanup & startups on new mobile homes in the field.) Thank you, Westinghouse.

Just replaced my 35-year-old generator.

I bought the I bought the WGen9500c last week. I did the 5-hour break-in run at a constant 2200 watts. I had a circular saw plugged-in and intermittently pulled the trigger for a few seconds every 15 or 20 minutes. Connected my 2000 sq ft house after the break-in period, it ran the whole house with no problems. I'm in Orlando, FL getting ready for hurricane season.

Carb jets plugs easily

I bought this about 8 months ago, put non ethanol fuel in it, started it once shut the fuel off and let it sit. Tried to start it a few days ago and come to find out the carb jet has just enough of a cruddy film in it to keep it from starting. Carb needs to be redesigned— way too easy to gum up. Seems to run great when it runs.

Generator review

This is my lifeline. Just purchased this last month and just went through Hurricane Debby here in the Florida keys. I felt safer knowing a had a reliable source to keep critical equipment working inside my home should the power go out following such a natural disaster. Thank you Westinghouse!
