WGen9500

I just purchased the generator and it was easy to assemble. It started right up with the pull cord. Battery wasn't charged enough to attempt the electric start or fob features. I hooked it up to the transfer switch and it powered all the major appliances and still had more amps to engage our heat pump.

Very nice generator

I received the generator a few weeks ago and it was delivered quickly and seems very well built. It has plenty of power to run just about everything in my house. Haven’t had a power outage since I bought it so I haven’t been able to really put it through it’s paces but so far so good.

Good value

Relatively easy to set up. Push button and remote start work well. Only design flaw so far is that the muffler blows right onto the tire making the tire get hot. This was reported to Westinghouse and is a known issue but we were assured that the tire would not melt. Have not had the opportunity yet to run this during a power outage but we have high hopes.

Great Generator!!!

I bought this a year and a half ago and haven't had to really use it. That is why it took so long to write this review. I go out every month and start it and put a load on it to keep it fresh. It starts first pull every time and has more than enough power to run my whole house. I am very pleased with the engineering of the unit and the ease of attaching equipment. So far, this has exceeded my expectations. If you need a generator, this is the one.

1 year running and strong

I bought this generator 1 year ago to be able to hook up to my house (all electric house) in case of emergencies. We are in Montana and can get some fairly harsh winters. Used it a time or 2 with the house over the last year and it worked like a dream! Since then, I've had it with me on jobs, couldn't be happier.

Great Product

This item has been a lifesaver. When I have lost power at my house due to all the storms that roll through the Panhandle I do not have to worry about not having the power to some to the day-to-day items when we have to ride out a storm. I am so glad I bought it. If anyone is thinking about getting this item you need to buy it you will not regret it.

Awesome experience!

I bought the WGen9500 on 12/15/21. Picked it up the 22nd and put it in the garage. Today, 1/8/22, I finally opened the box to get it set up and ready. Wheels went on nice and easy, the front supports we're the same ease. It's so much easier to move on the wheels. Putting oil in it was a little tricky because the funnel that comes with it is a little too short but it's definitely manageable. Finally I put fresh fuel in. Tried to start it a couple times and it wouldn't start. I started looking around and finally found the fuel shut off valve. I opened it up and on the second crank, it fired right up. Very easy set up. I did it alone and it took about 15-20 min for all of it. I'm having an electrician come to hook it into the breaker box so I'm able to use it to power the necessities in the house. So far, so good! Awesome machine.

Great features. I was looking for a big generator

I bought this generator after yet another huge storm blew through our town and left us without power for 4 days. This generator has a lot of bells and numerous great reviews online. I purchased the generator because it is large enough to power my house and keep my food cold and the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I'm tired of living in the dark when storms hit. I believe this machine will give me the peace of mind I'm looking for. I was satisfied with all of the positive I have read about this machine and hope I never need to use it , but glad I have it.

Outstanding Product

I bought this because I was losing power so often and for more than a day at a time. We lost power the week after we got it and it powered our entire house, WITH AC, for 2 days. Thats Refrigerator, A/c, lights and furnace for hot water. Never bogged down, I just had to fill with gas. Really easy to start, has the push button Fob as well. Really happy!

Has already had to be returned after first use for

We bought this for Hurricane Debby that just came over us in Suwannee County FL. It worked on propane but when we swithced to gas it would'nt start again!!! We had to go borrow a generator again even though we had bought a brand new one. Now we are lookin at another storm that could possibly head our way in a few days...and we have NO generator even though we just paid for this one in full. A little frustrated at the moment.
