Power Outage No Worries
5 out of 5 stars review

Westinghouse Delivered Big

I bought this to replace a smaller generator for our home. In addition to arriving in a timely manner it was easy to assemble with tools provided. Directions on use and maintenance are excellent and Westinghouse even provided the oil to get started. Looking forward to our next power outage!

A Well Thought Out & Fully Featured Portable Gener

After spending hours researching available generators in this output capacity, including talking to service centers to see what models they had fewest repairs on, I went with the Westinghouse WGen9500. I installed a 50 amp plug with a 60 amp breaker and made up a 30' dual 50 amp male plug cable. I also added a receptical for the battery tender and the little garage compressor. After a few minutes installing the wheels, rubber feet, adding oil, 93 octane fuel, and plugging in the battery tender for a few minutes (battery came right up to storage mode) I wheeled it outside to start it up. It hardly turned over before starting and settled down to a steady rpm. I checked output and it's spot on. I doubt you can find a better generator for a price even close to this unit.

PERFECT!

After Many years of intermittent power outages, four of which were extended (7 days or more), the latest being with Hurricane Laura, we bought this WGen9500 and I couldn't be more satisfied. Notes: Shipping / delivery personnel great. Carried (unbelievable considering it's weight) to my back porch and unboxed. Weight --yes, it is heavy. You probably want to have some help tipping it on side to put on wheels and legs Noise level - actually not too loud at all. I've run it at very end of back porch, and with entry door closed decibel level at least seems less than my lawn mower. Easy initial setup, excellent manual, perfect oil funnel furnished. Enough power, with discretion, to run everything we will want to make life much more comfortable with the next outage. Very simply, you can't go wrong with this generator.

What a powerhouse

Bought this is a backup power source for an offgrid house. I appreciate being able to turn it on remotely on cold mornings or shut it off while laying in bed. It runs my welder nicely as well, which has always been problematic before, due to the transient nature of the loads. I'm extremely pleased with all of the other features, too.

Powerful and easy to use

I purchased this unit recently after researching generators for several weeks and chose the 9500 as it best fits my needs. Easy to assemble, ran perfectly on first try and was quite easy for my electrician to hook up to the house electric panel. Have run the unit several times on trial basis and no issues. Purchased as a house backup and hope I don't have to use it often but am very confident it will run well in an emergency.

Great Portable Generator

I recently purchased this generator and it was very easy to assemble. All the tools needed are included. It took 5 minutes. I tested it out and the remote start made it a breeze to start. It has the power to run my house during a power outage. The gas tank provides 12 hours of service so it will run all night. We lose power pretty regularly and this is a much lower cost option vs a backup generator

Great value for the money

I bought this a month ago to replace a smaller unit from another manufacturer. We definitely use this often as the power goes out on a regular basis. Now we have enough capacity to keep our home reasonably well until the power is restored, usually the same day.

great features

I just purchased this generator online. It was delivered within 8 days, a day earlier than originally stated. This was great as we are in the middle of hurricane season. I unpacked the generator upon delivery to find everything as it should be. Very easy assembly all I had to do was; put on the 2 wheels and 2 feet which could not have been easier, I placed oil in the generator (oil came with the generator), gassed it up, connected the battery, opened the fuel line, turned the on button, pressed the start button and it started right up. I was pleasantly surprised as I did not think the battery would be charged allowing me to use the electric start. The generator is easy to move around on its large wheels. I am happy I made this purchase after researching a multitude of other like generators.

Simple startup and run

On the second of July we bought this generator. It was delivered ten days later to our door. We are waiting for the electrician to do his work to provide power to the house, but the start up of the generator was so easy I couldn't wait to give a review. The documentation provided with the generator was so simple. The steps had us gas it up, add oil, make the battery connections, flip the switches and push a button and the generator sprang to life. We shut it off and then used the remote, again instant response. Now everything could go wrong later and I will be back to say if that is so however the most critical part of my non-mechanical fears are resolved. It was so easy.

Westinghouse WGen9500c

Just got this generator for hurricane season. We have unboxed and inspected it. The generator is solidly built and included everything that was promised. We have not turned it on yet but I don't believe we will have any issues. I'll update my review if I encounter any problems.
