Great quality

This generator is built very good. Handle and wheels make for easy moving around. Engine and generator look very well built and it is packaged nicely in the frame. It has handled very well so far. I highly recommend this machine to anyone that looses power often. This thing runs my entire house.

Top Notch

This generator came packaged nicely with very minimal assembly required. Extensive instructions help with all aspects of use storage and maintenance, as well as warranty. This generator packs a lot of power into a compact package and the flexibility to start it with a push of a button or by pulling the cord is nice option. I have not needed to run it yet besides just warming it up and getting the fluids moving but I'm sure it will work when I need it to. I use this as back up power in case of a prolonged electrical outage. My transfer switch was installed by an electrician who assured me that the generator would easily be enough for my 6 selected breakers ( water heater, pump, coal stove, fridge, wifi, etc). Living far away from town having this gives me peace of mind that my property wont suffer from frozen pipes or ruined groceries due to loss of power.

A MUST buy!

We have had 3 power outages in one month and we needed something. We haven't been able to use it yet but the fact that we now have the ability to keep things "normal" is a great benefit. The versatility of this product is exactly why we bought it. I hope that we don't have to use it!

Great cabin generator

Read many reviews and decided to go with the Westinghouse WGen9500. Will use to power a detached garage as well as back-up for a cabin. Found the instructions to be very well written and easy to follow. Started right up and first test went without a problem. Great buy.

Portable generator

We bought this in anticipation of winter storms. We haven't had to use it as of yet. We ran it for the initial 4-5 hours before putting a load on it. Once that was done we just plugged in some power tools to check the outlets. Everything worked fine. I am excited to be prepared for any power outages we may incur.

Exactly what I needed

Quick setup, just put the wheels on, connect the battery, add the provided oil. Easy to start with push button or remote, or manual pull start. It even come with a charger for the battery. I just plugged in my power cord from my transfer switch to provide backup power to my home. very pleased!

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.

Generator arrived in great condition.

I bought this generator prior to hurricane season. I live in Florida and they say we will have a very active hurricane season this year. The generator arrived in great condition. It looks well made. I feel that we can handle any power outage that comes our way.
