So far satisfied

Purchased just over a week ago, finally got to start for the first time tonight. Once fluids were added, it fired up right away using the push button start. Ran for about 15 minutes and tested a 120v tool which worked flawlessly. Will soon be testing my 50A transfer switch for emergency power. So far pleased with the simplicity and smooth operation. Looking forward to many years of peace of mind.

The best generator I have own

The best about this generator is the remote control to start it. The push or pull handle lever extends at the right angle and the other cool part is so many plugins options and metal gas tank this the best generator I have ever own. I would and have recommended this generator

Just received

Just received and have not even used it. Doing this review to get the free cover. Don't know how a person can do a review when they haven't been given the opportunity to use it many times. We won't use it until our power goes out which is not often and would imagine it will work great brand new. The real test will be in the future years after being used many many times, then that will be when a true review is able to be made.

Plenty of power for my home

I purchased this unit recently and was very pleased with the quality of the product. It seems to be built well. I was concerned that it might be too heavy for me to move but the fold down handle gives enough leverage to make moving it easy. I am replacing a smaller unit that wasn't quite large enough for my home when the power goes out. This unit provides more than I need.

Portable generator

Just bought in preparation for hurricane season in Florida. Generator has all the features I need and at a reasonable price. Item was delivered on promised time but box was damaged in transit. No visible signs of damage to Generator. Have not had to use yet so can't accurately describe performance.

Generator

We bought the Westinghouse 9500c generator to supply our needs when we lose power. Love the push button start; fired up with no problem. Easy to move; love how the handle folds down when not using. Easy to connect to our power system. We feel secure knowing we have this fantastic generator to keep us turned on when the lights go out.

Good Product

This item is heavy-duty and even feels SOLID as you handle it. Arrived in good packaging, with clear instructions for getting started quickly. Very minimal assembly and preparation required before use. Following the instructions I had it ready and running in about 30 minutes.

Awesome generator!!

My previous 7800watt generator lasted about 18 years so the bar is set high. This Westinghouse generator is now 2 years old and works like it just came out of the box. The peak power to >12k is awesome. I have a large 2 story home with well pump, central air, 2 freezers, a frig, computers, tv's, etc, and I can run all of them on this generator without any issues. I have had to use twice, once for 6 hours and once for 12 hours, and both times it ran great. It is quieter than my previous generator and moves around easily. Great product!

More than my money’s worth!

I have been reading reviews and researching generators for over a year now. I narrowed my search down to what I would realistically need. The Westinghouse Wgen9500 and wgen9500df were in our top three. The third was a Honda. It came down to value, features, ease of use and service after the sale. I tested engine speed which should be (60 hertz) it was actually 59.9 which is within range. Sine wave output measured at 49 which is perfect meaning the peaks and valleys of the waveform are equal. I did not find the same on some of the other brands. This will be connected to our meter allowing us to power the crucial circuits within our home during an outage. Features we love: Remote start, Push to start, and recoil cord as the back up! 4 GFCI 20A 120v outlets (most comparable units came with only 2) Wide mouth filler neck for refueling (minimize spills) Oversized solid wheels that make it easy to roll over rocks and debris easily. Battery, tow handle and wheel kit included (some charge extra $$$) More wattage for your dollar. Buy with confidence!

Awesome!

We bought this generator over a month ago and I'm so happy I did! I love the features on it such as the push button start fob and everything it came with initially like the battery charger, oil funnel, and oil. The push button fob will come in handy when it's storming. For the price, it can't be beat for this size and features. We haven't had a chance to use it yet but it looks well made and we know it will greatly be appreciated when needed. I have friends who have the same model and they love it! Very happy with this purchase and I know I will have all the support I would ever need with the customer service representatives from this company.
