Powerful and Compact

I bought the WGen9500 to replace an underpowered Generac.The 3,000 extra watt's will allow me to now power my water heater, in addition to the other home items this backup generator is meant for. The generator arrived well packaged and damage-free. Oil was fully drained, making it easier to attach the mounting feet. Total install time for feet and wheels was 10 minutes. Attaching the cables to the included battery was easy, although the positive cable needs to be looped slightly in order not to stick straight out from the generator. A short charge of the battery, adding the included oil and some gas and the generator was ready to start. The push-start is great (coming from manual, pull-only). Press and wait. The generator will go through it's start cycle, and within a few cranks the fuel was flowing and it was running clean and well throttled. Have run the generator for an hour and put it to the task of powering the home (through dedicated transfer switch) and the power was clean, generator ran smoothly under load. Very happy with this new purchase, feel comfortable with a 3-year warranty backing it (which I hope not to need). The included maintenance schedule will be useful and followed, so hoping for years of service (or not needing it) from this solidly built generator.

Remote Started for Initial Commissioning

Amazing, followed the instructions and when I was ready pushed the button on key fob and she busted right off. Went through several different loads always showed between 242 and 243 volts no matter what appliance was energized. Very happy with my purchase.

raring to go

I purchased the generator about 4 months ago after outages in our area. While I have not had to use the generator, I found it easy to set up and prepared for use. The generator started up immediately and responded to the remote starter right away. I am pleased with our decision to choose Wesrtinghouse!

Love the way the generator operates with easiness.

This is a great product to ensure that I have power incase of an outage. It will operate mostly all items in my house. It is very easy to hookup and runs very smooth. I love the all the extra features it has such as remote start and the large fuel tank makes refilling a dream.

Perfect Size Generator

I purchased this generator less than a month ago. It arrived perfectly intact and assembled within 20 minutes. I easily followed the directions and started it up within the hour that i unboxed. I don't have a load on it yet but will report back once it gets wired to a transfer switch.

Awesome piece of equipment!

After researching many generator brands and features, I purchased the Westinghouse wgen9500. I received it this morning. I unboxed it, installed the feet, wheels, and added the oil and gasoline, it started immediately. Runs quietly for this size generator. I highly recommend this product!

Great generator with great features

I bought this generator to replace a smaller older one I've had for 10 years. I decided on this model because of the features it comes with. Like the 50 amp and power outlet as well as having a 30 amp outlet. This generator came with remote start, a battery and battery tender. The generator also came with the required oil for the machine as well as the wheel kit! On initial start up the generator fires right up and is actually quieter than my previous unit. I'm confident this generator won't break a sweat running everything I need during our next power outage.

1 year running and strong

I bought this generator 1 year ago to be able to hook up to my house (all electric house) in case of emergencies. We are in Montana and can get some fairly harsh winters. Used it a time or 2 with the house over the last year and it worked like a dream! Since then, I've had it with me on jobs, couldn't be happier.

Dependable went needed

I bought for Florida Hurricane upcoming season. Previous great reviews. Shipped prefect. Easy guide to set up. Purchased dual fuel option...planning to run on propane but, when gas is readily available will consider. Westinghouse is a trusted name always.

Westinghouse 9500c Generator

Purchased this generator due to living in Florida where we have frequent power outages as a result of tropical storms and hurricanes. It started the first time we tried with the remote automatic power button!! Seems to run like a top. Hope we don't need it, but it is fueled and ready for any outages.
