Easy setup

I bought this generator three weeks ago. It was very easy to set it up but the instructions included. The generator started on the first try almost immediately, and the remote control worked properly as well. Then I connected a few loads the generator self adjusted the voltage self adjusted and it didn’t drop, I have not had a power outage yet, so I will try it a few times on the weekends on my backyard powering up some of my electrical tools.. I am not exactly looking forward to have a power outage, but this time I will be prepared and then I can try this generator at a larger load and I will come back to update my review

Nice Generator

Generator started right up. I didn't see any signs of damage from shipping. All the accessories were there. The noise is about what I expected. Size is nice and compact and easy to move around. The only trouble I had getting going was the manual states that 2 wires need to be connected to the battery terminals but they already were but no light came on when the power switch was turned on. Battery was charged. Traced the lines back and found they were unplugged from a connector. Should change the manual or put a bright colored tag on the wires stating they need to be connected.

Great Price & Features

My wife and I have talked about getting a generator for a long time, being that we live on the East coast, so we decided to purchase now or never. I spoke with several folks about portable generators and it came down to price and quality, which left me to choose between Westinghouse and a near competitor, as both had excellent reviews... although I do like reading negative feedback, I prefer constructive criticism over do not buy this product because that’s a fatalistic mentality... likely it’s the user not the product, which is what I find more often is the case, as a maintainer. I have not started the generator as I have been busy but I plan to start it up tonight. I assembled the generator last night but did not hook up the battery, as I wanted to wait until I was ready to start it, which requires connecting and a charge first. Nevertheless, I am excited to see what this generator is capable of. I will add a video when I start it up tonight (if possible).

Very impressed

Ordered online from a home supply store. Setup was very straight forward and took about 20 minutes. I really like the voltage output on the display panel and the remote starter. Starts easily and is not too loud. I have a transfer switch on my home for 30 AMP service. I like that it also has ability to supply 50 AMP service - though I don't have a need for it. Supplying 9500 running WATTS should be adequate to supply everything I need for a power outage. I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend to others.

Powerhouse!

I bought this 2 months ago for the upcoming hurricane season. Delivery was on time and excellent service. The guys even helped me load the box onto a dolly. Set up easy enough for someone with no experience in generators. I did hire electricians to add an RV receptacle and run through main breacker panel. Start up was simple with push button (which is the only way I've tried so far) but love that there is a remote for lazy days and manual pull/choke if other options fail. Wow is all I can say to the power this thing can handle!!!! I hope we don't need to use it, but confident it will do the job if it is needed. Highly recommend for quality and price point!

Great Value

After numerous power outages over the past couple of years, I decided to purchase a generator. After reading reviews, I chose a Westinghouse WGEN95500C. Packaging, Directions, Condition of Product & Early Performance have all met any expectations I have had. I have not needed it due a power loss, but as of now, all the testing I have done has shown I have a made a great decision.

Awesome Generator!

Just got it and it's running out in the shed as I do this review. I know it's brand new, but so far nothing but kudos to Westinghouse. Very quiet, much quieter than my old Coleman 5K, and running everything in the house except the 220v stuff. Everywhere I look I see quality. Came delivered on its own skid and in pristine condition. If you are thinking of buying a generator, look no further...

Why did I wait so long

With power outages I wanted something that I could depend on when our grid was out and I finally bit the bullet and I should have a long time ago!! Simple to operate, perfect remote start each time and does more than I ask for. I am so happy with this product!!

Great features at a great price.

To begin, the instruction manual was amply illustrated and easy to follow. I am quite pleased with the versatility provided by the 20 - 50 amp outlets. Additionally, the included battery trickle charger, two USB ports, and the remote start key fob combined with the quality construction of the unit make this portable generator well worth consideration.
