Perfect For My Needs

This generator checked all the boxes - Dual fuel (I use propane as it is safer to store and less expensive than gas) Electric Start, Trickle Charger for battery, CO Sensor, Remote Start, and Powers My Whole House. Connecting directly to electric meter in power outages, just push the button on the remote and it starts up and and everything is good to go...

Solid!

Unit arrived as scheduled and delivered into garage. Unpacking and set up was very easy and straight forward. Generator is in perfect condition. Comes with accessories including a battery trickle charger, spark plug socket, 1 can of oil, oil funnel, etc. After set up (don't forget to add the oil), put in some gas and it fired on the first try without any hesitation. Control panel very well laid out and clear. Features include USB slots all the way up to a 50 amp outlet. Unit was less noisy than I expected, a pleasant surprise. Remote start...NICE! We purchased this as a whole house back up through a manual transfer switch. While we haven't had the chance to use it yet, the generator seems solid, rugged and well built. Our decision to buy this particular unit was based on power, features and price in that order.

Carb jets plugs easily

I bought this about 8 months ago, put non ethanol fuel in it, started it once shut the fuel off and let it sit. Tried to start it a few days ago and come to find out the carb jet has just enough of a cruddy film in it to keep it from starting. Carb needs to be redesigned— way too easy to gum up. Seems to run great when it runs.

Great Generator

I recently purchased the Westinghouse Portable Generator, and it has exceeded all my expectations. As someone who frequently enjoys outdoor adventures and camping trips, finding a reliable power source has always been a challenge – until now! Setting it up is a breeze, and the user-friendly interface ensures that even those without technical expertise can get it up and running in no time. One of the standout features of this generator is its impressive power output. Despite its portable size, it packs a punch and can easily handle a variety of devices and appliances. From charging my smartphone and powering a mini-fridge to running essential camping equipment, this generator has proven itself to be a versatile powerhouse. The fuel efficiency is another major plus. I was pleasantly surprised by how long it can run on a single tank, providing a consistent and reliable power source throughout my entire camping trip. The low noise level is also a huge bonus, allowing me to enjoy the peaceful serenity of nature without the disturbance of a loud generator. Safety features are well thought out, with automatic shut-off in case of overheating or overloading, providing peace of mind during operation. The durability of the build is apparent, and it seems built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use. In conclusion, the Westinghouse Portable Generator has truly enhanced my outdoor experiences. Its combination of portability, power, efficiency, and safety features make it a top-notch choice for anyone in need of a reliable and convenient power source. I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts – you won't be disappointed!

Excellent Generator. Packaging needs work

I bought this to power my house and I think it will. The Quality of the generator is excellent. The remote start is one of the reasons I went with this model as well as the 50amp outlet. It is not as loud as other generators with less wattage. The box the thing comes in is very flimsy cardboard and my frame was actually damaged. Along with a slightly bent wheel mount. Overall I love the generator.

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.

WGen9500c

We chose this product because it was a Westinghouse. I haven’t used it yet; however, I was very impressed with solidness of the unit and the precision in which it was packed. Also found the supporting documentation to be very comprehensive. My wife really pushed me to get this and I’m glad I did.

Great First Impression

Just got the generator and from the looks and instructions very easy to set up. Did however notice that the box packaging could be a little better. There is alot of dents on different areas. The Alternator Cover is dented to not allow any air movement, outside frame is dented.

Has everything to power my house

I bought this a month ago in preparation for peak hurricane season to power my house in case of power outage. It has everything I need and more to get the job done. Remote start is a bonus feature. Ran a trial run and was able to run everything in my house including a/c.

Great portable generator (WGen9500)

I did a lot of research before purchasing/ordering this Westinghouse generator. It arrived quickly and after installing the wheel kit, and adding oil and gasoline, it started on the first try. It runs quiter than my old generator, has many more features and will provide more watts. It seems bad weather events are occurring more frequently in our area and this generator will provide the needed power my family and I will need in the event power is lost. Thank you Westinghouse!
