I've only had it a few days, so it hasn't been put to the test.... yet. The 9500 running watts and a 50A circuit are plenty to keep the lights, refigerators (yeah we have 2) and even the central air running. Come winter if we lose power we'll be in even better shape. I've never met a portable generator that starts without the choke, till now. The remote start is awesome if I'm not home the wife just has to point the remote out the window if the need arises (obviously I'll have everything hooked up and the battery switch on prior) so in the event of, I don't know, a hurricane (like the one that just passed through this week) she doesn't need to go out in a downpour if I'm not here. I honestly wish it held some more gas, not that 6.6 gallons is small. As long as it runs through the night I'll be happy. I also like the handle, much sturdier than other generators. The large wheels give it enough ground clearance that I can pull it over a curb if neccessary. I'm looking forward to putting some load on it and seeing what it's got...... not that I want the power to go out, we'll find something else ;)

I bought this last year and didn't open box for 3 months expecting nothing to be wrong with it. I found it was damaged. Being out of 30 day return time frame, Westinghouse replaced unit. Quite surprised. Customer service was phenomenal. Tested operation on all electric house. Unit fired right up and maintained power to whole house. Easy to start and easy to run. Simple. No more darkness and multiple coats.

First time generator purchasers here but, I have to admit this baby looks like a beast!! I am confident this much power will do much more than just keep the lights on with the bonus remote start to keep me out of the elements! Next step, electrician to hardwire this bad boy straight to the fuse box leaving me with peace of mind smart switchover and peace of mind.

I've only had this generator a week but it seems like an excellent purchase. It is built really well and works equally well. Starts right up and the features are second to none. It is loud but what do you expect. I'm very happy with my WGen 9500 Westinghouse generator.

Bought this generator a few days ago before a tornado hit the farm, I dug it out of rubble, put oil and gas and ran for a week while power was out. I gave the item five stars. Then I emailed company to ask about a manual and buy a new gas tank and frame. I got a snarky response saying none of it was covered under warranty. I guess they thought I believed the generator was covered from tornado damage lol. After giving five stars and a glowing review. I emailed back and told them that I was just looking to buy a manual at least. They are sending a manual for free but gave me a link that says nothing about Westinghouse parts. Tried going to Westinghouse website to see if I could talk to someone, good luck with that! It’s email only. A product is only as good as the people that stand behind it. I’d have to say I’m going from a five to one star, I still don’t know what I’m missing or what came with it. And apparently they don’t care what parts you use……

This generator can run my 3 ton A/C, all lights, tv, and another decent load. I can run either the microwave, one stove burner or oven, well pump, dishwasher, and even the water heater. My water heater is on a 20 amp 2 pole breaker and draws about 15 amps. The water heater running with the A/C does pull it down quite a bit but it will carry the load. If I was in an emergency situation I would probably just heat the water in the morning and then turn the A/C on. I'm sure it would not run my electric back-up heat in the heat pump in the winter so I am going to put toggle switches at the unit to turn off the 24 volt signal from the t-stat to the electric heat just in case I want to run the heat pump. I have a gas propane wall heater so I really wouldn't need to run it, but it never hurts to have extra options. Very pleased with the design, power, and functionality of this generator. The battery is easy to access.

My husband and I bought this generator last month. It has great features that we were looking for; remote start and push button start w/an optional pull start. We wanted something that was reliable and easy to use in case of an emergency. This products meets all of our wants and needs.

Bought last month but haven't had to use it yet during a power outage. Very easy to get set up(helps to have a strong grandson). Started on my 1st attempt, runs smoothly and relatively quiet. Oil fill could be a bit more convenient. Nothing missing and can be moved about relatively easy, even for an 80 yr old man. Very happy so far but willing to wait for the power failure to put it to the ultimate test. My electrician was impressed.

I just purchased this to power my off grid shop. My Dad has the 7500 and we loved it. I was able to run my aor conditioner, Millermatic 220v welder, and everything else I the shop using the rv 30 amp plug in The 9500c has a 30 amp and 50 amp plug.

This generator is packed with great features. Easy start and comes with a remote start and stop fob. Easy setup. Comes with every thing you need for setup in the box. No need to go looking for wrenches. Handle folds out for great leverage when moving the generator and folds up to get it out of the way to save space. It has a rope start also in case you forget to charge it. It also comes with a battery charger if you don't want to start it every few months. It's probably better for the engine if you start it once in a while.
