Amazing !

Generator far exceeded my expectations. This thing is a beast. With electric stove, microwave and ac turned off ran my house without a hiccup. I have a 30 amp hookup to my house and should have gotten the 50 amp but regardless 30 amp is still more than enough. I tried starting with push button, then wireless start and pull start and this thing didn’t flinch and started immediately with all 3 types. This is my first time with portable generators and I knew by the other reviews that I had made the right decision. You will not be disappointed. It is a beast ! Thank you Westinghouse for such a great product . You’ve got a customer for life!

Very well built

I am 67 as was worried about being able to move a 200lb generator. After installing the wheels and legs(super easy), I just flipped the handle up and off I went. Very well balanced and great leverage. Very simple and easy to follow instructions for start up. Compact and lot's of extra power.

Wgen9500

I bough this because of our power being cut off for hours to days at a time. I just received it this morning before 7 am. Very promp and friendly service. This one should run my home during outages. I have neighbors that have bought the same generator. I love the automatic start.

Strong motor, powerful generator, reliable output

This generator replaces an older generator that aged well but simply was not able to function as standby house back-up power source. The WGen9500 is strong, powerful, reliable but somewhat noisy. We have not yet had any significant power outages, but we have utilized the WGen 9500 generator to test reliability as well as steadiness of supplied power for computers and other home electronics. The electric start/ remote start are real pluses. The noise level is the only negative. The price point and reliability are the strongest features.

Great Choice

I had been looking for some time to purchase a generator for home use . After a lot of research I settled on the wgen9500 and So far I am very pleased with the purchase . The remote start makes life so much easier and the various outlets provides plenty of options for my needs with up to 12,500 peak watts . I would definitely recommend this product

Very impressed!

I just received my new generator today. I am very impressed by the solid features and manufacturing. Very clear set-up & assembly instructions, and tons of awesome features on this product! I expect I will be well pleased by this generator... huge upgrade from my old unit.

Easy to start up

The generator did not hesitate to start running following the start button. Manual directions are easy to follow. I added a soft start adaptor to the A/C compressor to reduce the AMPS to prevent the generator from flipping the breaker every time the A/C compressor turned on. The AMP reducer would not have been necessary if I had purchased an upgrade, but it is to heavy to maneuver.

Just What I Needed

I had two options for my new workshop: 1) Hire a contractor to run a new power line to my shed, or 2) buy a generator that is powerful enough to run a welder. This generator was substantially cheaper than running a new power line to the shed, so it was a no-brainer. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It started up instantly and I used the generator to finish welding my new coal forge fire pot. This will be an excellent tool for my business.

A Great Quality Generator

I found out the hard way during a power outage you get what you pay for in generators. My cheap generator quit when I needed it the most. I bought this quality Westinghouse unit and couldn’t be happier. It is heavy duty, pushes any load I would ever need, and is full of features. It even has remote start and an included battery trickle charger. Pay a little extra and get a good generator and don’t get left out in the cold like I did!

Initial Purchase Review - exactly as advertised

I just received it and within 45 minutes after unpacking the unit had it fully serviced, running and tested. Couldn't be easier. Will update after I've used it for awhile. Note: primarily purchased this as an emergency backup in case of lost power for our home. Will also be using it for electrical needs on remote locations on my property.
