Well Engineered and Rugged

I bought this on September 12, 2018 but due to illness I left in box sealed. Started it up last month and she runs like a top. I worked for Westinghouse back in the late 60's as a nuclear project engineer on the polaris nuclear submarine program and I have always been very proud of Westinghouse products and their performance.

GREAT GENERATOR!!!

Good features. What's not to like - four 120v (20 amp) outlets, one 120/240v (30 amp) outlet, and the best feature is one 240v (50 amp) outlet. I am going to be ready the next time my power goes out. with a push button and remote start key fob my wife can even start it.

Great Genrator

The best part I like with this generator that it’s comes with all necessary things like wheels, engine oil, battery, spark plugs tools and installation tools. I have a problem with remote to pair with generator which I call to manufacture with in couple days. So far I like it very much.

Powerful Generator with Great features

I bought the WGen9500 generator to replace a 22-year old generator that I had. Installing the wheels, putting oil and gas and starting the generator took less than 45 minutes. I am so glad that I bought this generator because of the power- 9500 watts and great features, like the electric start and remote start. It can power most all the essential appliances in my house during a power outage.

Great features and easy to assemble

I brought this generator a couple of days ago and I am so glad that I did. The setup and installation was very easy to do. I love the remote start features and easy setup. Also, just a bit of advice, please adhere to the schedule maintenance for your generator’s life span.

Easy to get started

Just received this today and setup was easy. Attached legs and wheels, add supplied oil, and added gas. That's it. Love the power start, no pulling. Started right up. I'm reserving 5th star as I haven't run it under load yet. So far so good though.

Excellent Machine

I searched thoroughly before committing to this unit. The Westinghouse name is a familiar one but maybe not for most when it comes to power equipment. I had experience with the company as I purchased a Westinghouse power washer about a year ago. That unit has proven itself along with the company. The TSC web site had 000's of positive reviews for the generator so I was inclined to purchase. I followed the instructions for set up which included adding gas and oil. Next was pairing the remote start key fob. The instructions were clear but the remote was not behaving as expected. After two failed attempts, I pushed the Start button for no real reason. The unit started to fire right up and scared me in the process. The only reason it didn't start was that the gas valve was OFF. As soon as I turned it on, the remote start kicked in on the first attempt. Very happy with the preparation and performance.

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.

Powerful Generator

I bought this generator to replace our old one that stopped working during our last storm and am so glad I did. I liked the fact that this is an electric start because my old one was a pull start and too much work. An added plus is the key fob that allows for remote start- no more running outside to pull start! Unboxing was quick and set up required putting feet and wheels on, connecting battery and adding oil(which was included) and gas. It was fairly quick and simple and directions are easy to follow. I couldn't wait to test it out. A few people mentioned how loud this generator was but I am sat it is no longer than any other generatorvi have heard and there are quite a few in my neighborhood. Starting was unbelievably easy. Key fob remote start took just a hold down of start button as did electric start but the real winner was how easy the pull start was- one pull and it started right away. This was such a a pleasant change from our last generator that took many pulls. I like the digital screen that tells you volt output, frequency, and lifetime hours to keep you up to date eith real time info and maintenance needs. There is some important information to know regarding the breaking in period but everything is clearly stated in manual. The manual states that the generator will run for 12 hours on the full 6.6 gallons of gas. The lift up handle and wheels makes it very easy to move around. I have to say I am looking forward to our next power outage now that I have this. I highly recommend!

Great Generator

Had power outage due to a brush fire in the hills. PG&E performed an emergency shutdown and our neighborhood was out of power for 6 hours. Used this generator and it did its job for back up power. Connected via Transfer Switch. This was recommended by an electrician. Generator is loud, but it’s reliable, easy to start with button and easy to follow instructions. I’m happy with my purchase and glad I have this around. You just never know.
