Awesome generator!

We absolutely love our new generator. It was super easy to set up and the remote electric start is such a great feature. It has enough power to power our entire small house, air conditioning and all. This hurricane season in Florida will be a lot less stressfull for us, knowing that we're ready for any power outage.

True Powerhouse

I bought this to run just about everything in the house, and it will. It is quieter than my previous 6000 watt generator. Based on the reviews, no should be disappointed. A nice touch was including everything you need to assemble and start this gem, except gas of course. Should last many, many years.

Great Unit

I bought this unit 2 weeks ago and have loved it. After I completed the break-in period, I was able to run my entire house which is 2,800 square foot. Some things I couldn't run at the same time (microwave and AC unit) but for the most part it is a life saver. Very pleased with the remote start.

Mislead by others

Everybody told me to be careful of Westinghouse generators, but I can tell you from the start I couldn't imagine using any other generator. It's not to heavy not to big and not to loud the handle for rolling it around could be a bit diffrent but I am abnormally tall so on average I'm sure it's grate for people under 6.5. I can not wait to see what else Westinghouse house has to offer in other products

Hardest starting generator I've ever used

For an easy start generator, this is the hardest starting thing I've ever had to contend with, and I use generators on construction sites frequently. I wanted this for house emergency power, but it drains the battery to start it, so that's pointless, and it won't start manually either. If you shake it just right as it's starting, it will turn over. Too bad it's not returnable because I used it ONCE to see if the transfer switch worked and it would power my home

Has Everything/Good Price

We just bought this last week after it came highly recommended from a co-worker of mine. After doing lots of research on our own, this was going to be the generator for our new home when the power goes out. This should be able to run everything, including the A/C for the house. It was a no brainer to get this one and it on hand.

Just put together - Good so far!

I bought this online thinking I was getting the dual fuel, but they had changed the deals and I hadn't noticed. It was still a good deal, so I decided to go ahead with the order. The delivery was relatively quick and the box was in good shape. (They would not take the skid with them). The instructions were pretty clear, so I put it together and it started right up. The on/off button did not shut it off, and I haven't done anything with the remote start yet.

Just what we needed

Just received our WGEN-9500. It came within 2 days and with no issues. We lose our power frequently in the rural area we live in and this generator will give us almost an all house generator at a fraction of the cost. After doing my research and reading many reviews, on reliability, performance and customer support, we decided on this Westinghouse generator. Solid, well made and easy to unbox and get up and running. Feeling a lot more secure now!

WGen 9500

I bought this generator and was very happy I did. The value and features are the best I seen in a generator of this size. It has the power to run every thing in my house. Very easy to setup and run. I can take it to the job site and am confident that I will have all the power I will ever need. With the 6+ gallon fuel tank I don't worry about stopping to refuel. One of the best features is that it has two GFI outputs. I don't think you can go wrong with the WGen9500.

Great Generator!

So far the generator has been Great! I did a test for my in home hook up and it ran everything, I mean Everything A/C, Well pump, you name it it does it. It is not that loud. Little noise but when your without power whats more important? Noise or power? (A/C). Its about the same noise as the Duromax 4850 I replaced it with. Cranks up every time when I do the monthly check and I haven't had to really put it to the test yet and hope I don't have to but if I do it will hold its own. After last year, being hit by Hurricane Florence In NC I thought It would be best to upgrade to a bigger Generator that ran everything and the price was great. Purchased it Online from Home Depot. They priced matched because it was cheaper from another known retailer. I would recommend this to anyone.
