Great generator

Bought this generator and it’s the best generator I’ve ever owned! Love the key fob to start it from right inside

Quick start

Our power was out for 4 days and our neighbor had a generator. They were generous enough to offer us to plug into theirs to keep our refrigerator running. I decided we needed one of our own and was impressed with the description and features of the WGen9500, so I purchased one.

Super Solid construction

I recently purchased the WGen9500c. Very happy with the sturdiness/construction of the unit. I was afraid that a portable unit would not be able to stand up to wear/tear. No worries as this unit weighs 200 pounds and should be able to withstand anything type of transport, weather, etc.

Great looking little machine

My generator arrived today. Put in some oil and gas, followed instructions and it started right up. The remote starter also worked well. I had a question,so I telephoned the customer service number provided and talked with a very nice lady who answered my questions. Haven't had time to run it under a heavy load yet, but I am very satisfied to this point.

Awesome

I just received my 9500 W Westinghouse generator and I am really happy with it. I live in California and we’ve been getting power outages. The only thing I would say is I got nine hours out of one tank although my whole house is electric so it was probably pulling harder. Other than that small little complaints, this is the one I wanted and I’m glad I got it.

Drives like a caddy!

Absolutely love this thing! It looks great, easy to set up even though the instructions are out of date, and can power 6 breakers in my home just fine. I cant believe these generators have a remote start Fob! Westinghouse best in the business doing it right! Worth every penny spent!

Easy start!

I bought this to replace a 20 year old 5,000 watt unit that was struggling to keep up with the load we wanted during power outages. The old unit was a real pain start up and ran unevenly. After setting this one up and starting it with the remote start fob, I am looking forward to having it for the next outage!

lots of power for your $

I've only had it a few days, so it hasn't been put to the test.... yet. The 9500 running watts and a 50A circuit are plenty to keep the lights, refigerators (yeah we have 2) and even the central air running. Come winter if we lose power we'll be in even better shape. I've never met a portable generator that starts without the choke, till now. The remote start is awesome if I'm not home the wife just has to point the remote out the window if the need arises (obviously I'll have everything hooked up and the battery switch on prior) so in the event of, I don't know, a hurricane (like the one that just passed through this week) she doesn't need to go out in a downpour if I'm not here. I honestly wish it held some more gas, not that 6.6 gallons is small. As long as it runs through the night I'll be happy. I also like the handle, much sturdier than other generators. The large wheels give it enough ground clearance that I can pull it over a curb if neccessary. I'm looking forward to putting some load on it and seeing what it's got...... not that I want the power to go out, we'll find something else ;)

Power house generator!

This Generator is great! I'm not one to normally leave reviews, but I've gotta rave about it. Powers the job site, my trailer, back up power for my home when I have outages - you name it - it does it. Love the remote start feature as well! Makes camping even more enjoyable when i don't have to go out in the cold to start my generator.

Fantastic power solution

Bought this for residential use. Has features with remote start, enough power for nearly everything in our home without having to pick and choose what’s got a power back up. Sturdy construction with easy movement with big wheels that even this older female could move.
