Works seemlessly

We have a mobile detailing business and we outgrew our smaller Westinghouse Generator. When we needed something with more power we stepped up to the 9500 series because of our past experience with Westinghouse. No issues and runs like a champ all day long.

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.

Shipped and Handled Poorly

Luckily we haven't had to use the generator since we bought it but it appears to be solid. Followed the simple assembly directions for the wheels then added oil and fuel. She started right up with a push of the button and ran beautifully. Did notice rust blisters on the top of the control panel so that will have to be sanded down and repainted at some point. Biggest complaint was with the shipping. The generator was clearly stored upside down because although they drained the oil, the little bit left inside ran out and was all over the top left corner and the control panel. The frame rail was also all scratched up (More Painting Will Be Needed) and the silica bag placed in the box was torn open and the silica beads were everywhere. Had to ensure none got into the generator before starting.

Checks All the Boxes!

I just purchased this generator with two specific needs in mind… RV power in remote locations and backup home power. The 50 amp receptacle is a make or break feature for us now, and although it’s a bit heavier to transport, it’s worth it for us! Looking forward to seeing how it handles our home during a future power outage.

Glad I purchased this Westinghouse generator. It's all about having an ease of mind if/when there's a power outage. I'm still in the break in period but this unit seems to be a quality build. The directions are easy to follow and it has a nice manual and even a wiring schematic

I love this generator!

I got this generator around April 2020, and love it. We got it to use for the normal summer power outage we usualy have during the heavy thunderstorms we get. Haven't had to hook it to the house yet, but we have used it camping and it works great. This generator has powered everything we've hooked to it without any problems. After assembly, filling with the included bottle of oil, and gas (not included of course), I used the recoil starter (pull cord) first to see how many pulls it would take to get started. To my surprise this thing fired up on the first pull. I didn't think the gas had enough time to fill the carb when it fired! The electric start worked just as good. The remote was easy to program and works well. I only have two, very minor, inconveniences to mention to ensure this is an complete and accurate review. Neither of which would prevent me from purchasing this generator, or any other Westinghouse product, in the future. The first is the oil capacity. 1.1 L/1.16 qt. This capacity leaves you with almost, but not quite, a quart of oil floating around until you need to change the oil again. I wouldn't be against buying a 1.1 L bottle of oil from Westinghouse if it was available. I might even pay a little extra for the added convenience of not having an open oil bottle to keep track of for a couple of months - just a thought. The other is that the open end wrench in the tool kit (I was surprised that it had a tool kit, so this is definitely NOT a complaint) doesn't fit the oil drain plug on the engine. Neither of these would prevent me from buying this generator over again, or any other product from Westinghouse in the future. Overall, I LOVE this generator!!!

Looks like a wonderful machine.

I just received this unit a few days ago but wow what a beautiful unit. I expect great things from it. I took off the standard front legs and installed casters to make it easier to move around. I called today to buy a 50A transfer switch kit (item number 210076) only to be told the they no longer sell them. Bummer. Would have been nice to have their switch to go with my generator.

Easy to set up and operate.

Within 30 minutes you are up and running. I chose to use the 50 amp vs the 30 amp so I could make sure to run my whole manufactured home which is about 150 square feet and was able to run the whole house with air conditioning also and had plenty to spare.

better than expected

bought as a replacement for a flood damaged unit of another brand. arrived in perfect condition and took less than 10 minutes to get ready to run. started on the second pull (used manual start to see how difficult if i had battery issues) Could not be more pleased

Perfect home generator

This generator is perfect for power outages. Living in the country the power can be out for days. Wired a 50 amp plug and breaker into one of my service panels and put the breakers that were important to me in it. It’s a perfect 50 amp plug and play. Fired up this generator and it ran everything I needed. Start up is easy with a push button or remote start. It is built with very good quality. You will not be disappointed with this generator. Highly recommend!!!
