Very affordable for buyers

I bought this unit because I just had a 50 amp plug installed to run my generator in case of loss of electricity. I live in South Louisiana and going this route is so much cheaper than a whole house unit. We live about 3 miles from the Vermilion Bay.

Great Generator - Highly Recommend!!!

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.

Excellent All the Way Around

Delivered in perfect condition. 15 minutes to assemble, add oil and fuel up. Started right away and ran quieter than expected. Key Fob worked. By the way, this generator is just a push of a button for 2 seconds and release. It turns over the starter a few times and if no start then tries again every few seconds. Also, it automatically opens choke as it warms up. Great surprises.

Rocky Mountain Powerful!

I purchased the WGEN9500 gas only genny as the only power source for building an off-grid home in the Rockies. This portable little beast never fell short through all seasons. In the winter we also had a 40 ft RV hooked up. We never had a power shortage as long as we kept it fueled. I highly recommend this genny for heavy duty and continuous use year round.

WGen 9500c

Purchased a Westinghouse WGen9500c generator. Fast deliver and minimal parts to install. Started the unit up with the battery start and ran it for 10 minutes with no load. Shut it down for 5 minutes and started with the pull rope and ran about 2 minutes. Shut down for another 5 minutes and started with the remote key. Can't wait to get it in the field and put it to work.

Excellent Generator.

I just purchased this generator and i cant say enough about how pleased i am with this purchase. It was delivered with everything it was supposed to have. I was able to put the tires and front legs on with ease and in less than an hour. I filled it with oil and gas and hit the start button and it started right up.

Too early to review, but Westinghouse wants it now

Assembly was not hard, took some effort but no problem. (It's heavy.) Engine started with no problem, runs smoothly on the non-ethanol gas I use for my power equipment. Have run it for a few hours to break in as recommended, have yet to see if it effectively powers the portion of my house I want because my hookup not completed, but with an electrician visit later this week that should happen. The manual is precise in some ways and deficient in others; e.g. it cites an "Eco mode" feature that this model does not include, I later found out. Also, gas gauge not workng, will get Westinghouse to troubleshoot. It's a powerful machine and should power the key circuits in a power failure, which is why I bought it. At 209 lbs, not easy to port around for other purposes, but I just want it for household backup. It seems to provide what I want - so far.

Top Rated Generator

This all the watts I need. Even with Electric start and a remote(that work 100%) I had to test it old school first and started 1st pull. Used twice already and runs smooth. Battery was wired already with a push connector(EASY).Handle was already on. Just had to install wheels and feet. Strong frame, has a maintenance schedule sheet, follow that and your good for years. Just a high quality generator.

Solid Purchase

Bought after Hurricane Dorian brushed by FL as my prior generator was underpowered and pushing 10 years old. Very happy I found this Generator. Build quality is great, set-up was easy, and is loaded with features I didn't know existed. Generator isn't whisper quiet, but is much quieter than my 5,000 coleman. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their generator game.
