Easy to set up and use.

Just received this, and easily installed wheels and feet. Added oil and a little gas and it started on the first try. I had tried a duel fuel model, but was not happy with it. It does weigh a little over 200 lbs, but easy to move with the wheels. I should not say that I can't wait for the power to go out to give it a work out, but I am positive that I will be protected with this unit.

Absolute Powerhouse...

Due to the Hurricane that recently impacted Houston, TX; getting a generator was a must. After doing some research, and actually seeing it in action this was top of the list. 9500 running will power all of the essential items in my 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home.

Solid

After a few days without power, I ordered the WGen9500. Powerful enough to run everything I needed. It showed up in 4 days when they said it would. Opened the box, everything was there; generator, wheels, rubber feet, oil, battery charger, and tool. Read the instructions. Step by step with pictures. All I needed to do was put the wheels and feet on, add the oil, and connect the battery wires. The handle was already attached and the battery was charged. Then, added fuel. Nice tank size, 6.5 gallons. Flipped the breaker switch to on, put the rocker switch to RUN, turned the fuel valve to ON position. Pulled the cord slow to prime the engine. Pressed the start button, and it started right away. Tested the 4 outlets immediately with quietestan electric chainsaw, each one worked. With the rubber feet, it didn't move from where I started it. Purposely had it on a slight incline just to find out if it would"walk". It stayed put. Also wanted to know how loud it would be. It said about 74 decibels. Fairly accurate. I have an older one that's rated for 5,000 watts which is much louder. I am going to have it be able to plug into the fuse box of the house and build a box for it to make it a little quieter. It was the quietest one in the neighborhood, even without a box over it. I like the plastic "no flat" wheels. The handle is wide with foam grip. Solidly built. Easy to move. Tried the remote start/stop. Did both first try. From the door of the house. It was in the driveway. I would highly recommend this generator.

Powerful Generator

I'm very impressed with Westinghouse the quality of this generator. After returning generator from a different manufacture due to mechanical issues, I decided to buy a Westinghouse based of their review ratings and comments. I'm so glad I did! This generator is of better quality than the other one that I had, has more useful features, more power, and was $100 cheaper! If you're in the market for a generator, you should seriously give Westinghouse a chance; I promise you will not be disappointed!

Great Purchase

Just received this generator yesterday. Easy set up, (hint, follow quick start up guide regarding power cable connection from battery to panel). Runs great. Button start, remote start, pull start seem to work fine. Tested with power light and vacuum cleaner for a period of time just to check performance and no issues. Easy to use. Bought it for powering household when power lines are down after a storm and I believe it will perform well when needed. I hope I do not need it!!

Ready on Arrival!

Just received this generator and I am impressed with how easily it is to unpack, set up, and test run. Great labeling to help operation, and the owners manual is full of helpful info including electrical schematics, parts list, and troubleshooting instructions.

Great generator with nice extras

I bought this generator after a lot of research. I like the features this generator had over other models such as the remote start and automatic choke. For the rated output, I was pleased to see how compact the generator was and how quiet it was compared to others that were similar in output.

Easy Perfection

What a nice product! Easy to put on wheels, filling the oil, connecting battery and start the machine. Everything went together well and seems to be of high quality. Machine started up without any problem! I hope I don’t need to use the generator but am feeling good and confident that if I need the generator, I am well prepared!

Remote start-up

Bought this Generator about 1 week ago and so far it has work as described. Wanted a Generator to power my home in case of outages which apparently occur often now in California. The thing that I love is the remote start feature. Overall happy with purchase.

Packed with features.

I did much research before I made this purchase, and I am glad I did. I bought this generator to power my whole house, which it easily does. I had an electrician come in and wire everything and he even commented on the great product this generator is. Once he was done with his work, we tested the generator. I was very happy with the outcome. It was what I had expected and more. The features are great as well. The 30 and 50 amp plugs are perfect. The USB ports are a bonus. the push button start with a remote also means I can get this generator warmed up and ready before I have to go out on a cold winter day. It even comes with a battery trickle charger. Westinghouse thought of everything. If you are searching for a generator, here it is. I would recommend this product to everyone looking for a portable generator
