A good choice for back up power.

We bought a MEP 003a diesel generator. The problem was that it required a bunch of steps to get it started. My wife and I are getting old and she needed something easier to start. So we decided to replace it. With this Westinghouse WGen9500c, you turn on the switch and either press the on switch or the keyfob button and the unit starts itself. We live in a 16 x 80 mhp that has a 2 ton air unit. This generator powered the ac and our full size fridge with no problem. FYI, it was Mr. Westinghouse that came up with the idea to use AC to provide electricity to the United States. If you have ever been in a power outage you know that you need something that is dependable to get you through until the power is restored. We chose this generator and a manual transfer switch.

Can't beat the price for the size

So far very happy. Bought and broke in to Westinghouse recommendations via HDdotcom also got a great deal from them. I'd give 4-1/2stars if i could as my concerns thus far are minor. I don't like the location of the ground terminal under the 50amp receptacle it protrudes a little for my 90degree plug but it's still fine. My other concern is that I just don't like the wheels being attached by a cotter pin. When full of gas and rolling the wheels are angled just doesn't seem strong to last a long time. All in all does what its supposed to do so far so I would recommend

Set up is Simple.

I just bought less than a week ago. Shipping was fast. Generator came packaged well. Simple instructions to follow. Quick minor assembly of wheels. Then just added the oil included and filled with fuel. Started right up after third try, and that was only because it had to prime the fuel. Looking forward to using.

Heavy duty, runs great

Overall, very pleased with this generator. Easy to follow instructions, easy to use and runs great. Seems heavy duty overall and power was as expected. I can actually run central air across two condensors, my fridge, dishwasher, tvs, lights, etc. My only complaint is that the wheels could be better and heavier duty.

So far....worth the money

I bought this generator to ensure that my whole house was covered in the case of an emergency. I followed the start-up directions, read the manual and am happy to report that it has started up with no problem! I tested the manual start, the electric start and the remote start, all with no issues. I can't wait to get my tranfer switch installed and put this beast to the test!

Great start up

Was delivered a week ago, just put it together today. Went together really easy, started right up. Our electrician will be here next week to do the wiring. After living through category 5 Michael I will never go through another one with out a power generator. I’m hoping this unit will run most of our house. The electric start will be great for my 82 year old mother in case I’m not home and we loose power.

AWESOME VALUE AND FEATURES

I did a good amount of research before deciding on the Westinghouse 9500 Generator. The build quality is excellent, runs like a charm and gave best bang for the buck. Hopefully will never have to use it but I am confident it will be there for me when I need it as long as I exercise it regularly and perform recommended maintenance.

Easy to use and start.

I was looking for a quality generator to feed my house during power outages. After doing some research and reading lots of reviews, I bought this model. I wanted a generator that had a 50 amp plug so it could handle the majority of the house. The electric start is a great feature, and the remote start is a very nice added bonus! This starts up with ease, and is very easy to operate. It runs pretty quiet as far as generators are concerned, and is pretty easy to move with the large wheels and handle bar. I am very pleased with this purchase, and would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for one.
