I was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is!

I just unboxed the generator, filled with all fluids and put wheels on! Instructions are easy to follow Fired it up and was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is! This is the 9500 watt generator! I am replacing a 9500 watt champion generator that is so much louder! I needed a generator with a 50 amp plug and this is perfect for my needs!

Perfect for power outages

I've been looking at this for 2 yrs. We live in Northern calif. foothills.Were fires and wind can take out your power at any time.I finally got it and feel so much better now.I have test run it once and it runs the hole house and the well with no problems.I would tell anyone who asks about one to check out Westinghouse first.

Just the right size generator

I purchased this generator to power my garage until the permanent power is hooked up. Received it today, the instructions were easy to read, it came with oil for the engine. I Installed the wheels, hooked up the battery and added gas, it started right up and I used it for about 2 hours to power my saws and compressor. I’m happy!!! When the permanent power is hooked up I plan on using it for a back up for the house if the power should go out. Very happy with my generator so far and just to let you know it can be moved very easily and I would recommend this product.

Exactly what I needed

Quick setup, just put the wheels on, connect the battery, add the provided oil. Easy to start with push button or remote, or manual pull start. It even come with a charger for the battery. I just plugged in my power cord from my transfer switch to provide backup power to my home. very pleased!

Now I’m Ready

Ordered product and received it well ahead of promised delivery. Was very easy to set up for running. Bought this product for emergencies with power outages. Hopefully I will never need to use it but I feel confident it will meet all my expectations.

Great features for touchless startup!

Remote start and automatic choke are great features. I can setup for a touchless startup: 1) place WGEN9500 in set outdoor position, and plug in 50amp cable connecting unit to house, 2) prep/switchover circuits at electrical power, 3) startup remotely & wait 2 minutes, 4) switch on select house circuits. Looking for a 20 year life!

Awesome value

I bought this product after going through numerous power outages. I had my electrician put a plug on the side of the house so we could operate our kitchen appliances, freezer, master bed bedroom and bath and garage door opener. Very pleased with this product.

Great Performance, but CO Sensor Issue

I recently purchased the Westinghouse WGen9500c portable generator, and overall, I’ve been quite impressed with its performance. It offers plenty of power with its 9500 running watts and 12500 starting watts, which is more than enough to keep essential appliances running during a power outage. The build quality is solid, and the unit starts up reliably, even in colder weather. I also appreciate the user-friendly features, like the electric start and the clear, easy-to-read display panel. However, I’ve encountered an issue with the carbon monoxide (CO) sensor, which has been a bit frustrating. Early on, the CO sensor seemed to malfunction, triggering the generator to shut down unnecessarily. While I understand the importance of this safety feature, it’s disappointing to experience this fault so early in the generator’s life. As a result, I now need to send it in for service to address this problem. Despite the CO sensor issue, I’m still optimistic about the long-term performance of the WGen9500c. Westinghouse is known for good customer support, so I’m hopeful that this will be resolved quickly. If you’re in the market for a powerful and versatile generator, I would still recommend the WGen9500c, but be mindful that this model may have some early teething issues with the CO sensor. Pros: Powerful output (9500 running watts) Easy to start and operate User-friendly display panel Good build quality Cons: CO sensor malfunction (requiring service early on) Hopefully, this is just a rare issue, and once it’s fixed, I can enjoy the generator without further problems.

Runs Strong, Great Manual

In an unexpected power outage, we were able to purchase the Westinghouse 9500c generator. It ran strong for 8 days and powered everything we needed in the house. We were careful not to run too much electric at once, but we were impressed none-the-less. It really saved us, as the temperatures were quite cold. Also impressive is the manual! It provides very specific details in a very easy to read and understand format. The instructions made setup, use, and an oil change a breeze!! The unexpected bonus for us was the remote start/stop fob. We didn’t realize how nice this made things; saving us from going out into the cold to push a button. Our only complaint is the noise. It is loud, and 8 days of it was uncomfortable. However, I don’t believe it is any louder than the average generator. And we expected the noise as part of the deal. Obviously, the benefits outweighed this one negative.

Great on the voltage

I decided to buy this about a week ago, we survived hurricane Beryl out here in Texas at my brother in laws house because we weren't prepared... he had this particular generator and was able to get it plugged into his breaker box and ran the whole house with it...one of the best investment I have ever done
