So easy to use

The generator came in yesterday and took me about an hour to get it up and running. I have a 6000sqft house and everything runs off of it except for one of the AC compressors. I'll need to alternate between my AC compressors. This thing is AWESOME!

Well made, easy to use.

I own two separate dwellings, one already with back-up power supplied by a Westinghouse Genset. This unit is slightly smaller (9,500W vs 12,500W) than the first unit, but only needs to supply the house requirements. These generators are very dependable, fire right up when needed (which is often), and get good "mileage" from a tank full of gas. Controls are simple, easy to access, and easy to use. Same goes for the maintenance.

Easy to get started

Just received this today and setup was easy. Attached legs and wheels, add supplied oil, and added gas. That's it. Love the power start, no pulling. Started right up. I'm reserving 5th star as I haven't run it under load yet. So far so good though.

Good Value

Purchased this generator to run our entire house, when the power goes out during a hurricane. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost and features of it, compared to the others. It provides plenty of power to run all of my wife’s hair products and the lights at the same time!! Happy wife, happy life!

NO MORE FOOD SPOILING

THIS THE BEST AND THE EASIEST PORTABLE GENERATOR TO USE. MY POWER COMPANY CANT FOR SOME REASON, KEEP THE POWER GOING. AND WAS TIRED OF LOOSING MY FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR. FOOD COST ARE RIDICULOUS. SO I PURCHASED THIS UNIT AND I KID U NOT THE POWER WENT OUT ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY. AND I WAS READY THIS TIME. BUT THE POWER CAME BACK ON IN 5 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD ROLL THIS BABY OUT, ALMOST LIKE IT KNEW WGEN9500c WAS ABOUT TO SHOW OUT AND PUT THE POWER COMPANY TO SHAME BUT I CAN REST A SHURED THAT THIS WG9500c WILL HAVE ITS DAY WHEN THE STORM SEASON IN ST.LOUIS MO STARTS SOON, IM LOCKED A LOADED AND READY.

Solid Generator

Very nice product! It literally took me 20 minutes to assemble, add oil & gas, and start it up for the first time. The remote control start is a real bonus and will be very helpful during prolonged power outages. The only reason I am not giving four stars is because of the lack of response from technical support. I called on Saturday and it is now Thursday night and no one has gotten back to me for what turned out to be a really simple question that my electrician was able to answer. Otherwise, I love this generator!

WGen9500 Generator

I bought this generator in early September to operate my 5th wheel trailer. It has been doing a great job. We run the generator approximately 24 hours a day for two weeks following Hurricane Laura. The generator did well at running the majority of my electrical circuits. I run two A/C units (13.5amp & 15amp units) during the day and one overnight with no issues.

Great so far

I pitched this generator just as an added piece of mind for power outage. Seems well built and was delivered with no problem and in great condition. I added oil and followed instructions on how to pair the remote start and started it with the fob. Great product so far.

grear quality and features for the price.

Purchased product a short time ago and have used for several hrs with no issues what so ever.Living remotely in maine, we loose power frequently throughout the winter months and now feel very secure knowing we have the stand by power. I am very pleased with this unit and look forward to many years of use.

hurricane safety

Having recently going thru a hurricane scare with Dorian we reliazed it was time to upgrade from our 5000 watt unit. We had our 9500 set up to supply the house power panel, now when we loose power we can supply nearly everything in the house including the charger for my oxygen concentrator. Really puts my mind at ease:-)
