New Generator

Note I have not yet experienced a situation where I would be in need of this device, However, upon unpackaging and firing it up, I am very satisfied and impressed with the product's design and functionality. Along those lines, I anticipate it to prove invaluable in my next outage.

Very pleased with our WGen9500c portable generator

We for it easy to assemble and I could even lift it after the wheels we put on. I used the push button start after adding oil, fuel and connecting the battery cables. Was surprised when it started on the first try. Works great and would definitely recommend it to anyone needing a great product.

Well built and sturdy

I bought this generator after this past month's ice storm. It came with detailed instructions and seems to be very well built. I've not had to use it yet, but so far I am pleased with this purchase. I may update my review after the initial test run. I plan to connect it to our house via transfer switch.

Everything I needed

This is a solid generator equipped with what you need to power anything from a USB charged device to your home. Upon arrival I added oil, connected the battery, put a gallon of gas in the tank, turned the fuel on, and it fired right up (I did turn the fuel on and let the carb bowl fill up first though). I wound up plugging a pop up toaster into the 120v outlets to make sure they all worked and made some toast on the back porch... butter and all. The key fob worked out of the box also. I feel confident in this equipment to perform when it's needed the most... For me it's during power outages.

EXCELLENT GENERATOR SO FAR!

Haven't needed to use it yet bu the set up and 1st start out of the box couldn't have been easier. Battery was charged. I didn't have to connect the wires to the battery just connect the factory installed connectors. Came with the right amount of oil son no guess work. Started with the push of a button! Next power outage we'll be ready!

Great features!

Instructions were excellent, although rather than attaching battery wires as described (which was already done), required to locate and connect a wire connection found by tracing wires. Once done, started immediately on first attempt. Will be having an electrician connect to my house panel.

First Test

Sold a 20 year old 4500 watt… The WGEN9500 seems as quiet, with a bigger tank and the same ease of starting. Test was a 1/2 hp compressor for 60 mins. The old gen would gun up when the compressor kicked on - the 9500 does not even notice. If you have an older generator.. now is the time to upgrade. I am not much of a prepper.. but let’s face it, if you can cover a day or two outage with a generator you will save your fridge, your hotel costs and - like this February maybe keep your pipes from freezing. That is why i doubled my old capability. These outages are getting a lot worse….

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.

Exactly what I wanted

Only had this two weeks so far but I will say that this unit was very easy to assemble. Once I filled the fluids I went to start it and the generator started like a champ. Started with pull cord, electric start and remote fob. All worked and the unit ran great. Had a wire on the unit that was pinched in half during shipping at some point, will get hold of Westinghouse about that, But I'm confident that they will give me the assistance that I need.

Great Generator for Emergencies

We purchased this generator because we live pretty far out in the country and get occassional severe weather that knocks out our power. The set up was absolutely simple and took all of 10 minutes. Started right up with push button start, manual pull cord and remote start.
