Easy to use!

This thing is fantastic! With the help of friend, it took about 15 minutes to assemble. The instructions are easy to follow. It started like a champ. The best thing about this generator is that I don’t have to put any effort starting it up. I can push the button on the generator or use the remote, which will come in handy during the winter months. I’m glad that I made this purchase because we get frequent power outages.

NO MORE FOOD SPOILING

THIS THE BEST AND THE EASIEST PORTABLE GENERATOR TO USE. MY POWER COMPANY CANT FOR SOME REASON, KEEP THE POWER GOING. AND WAS TIRED OF LOOSING MY FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR. FOOD COST ARE RIDICULOUS. SO I PURCHASED THIS UNIT AND I KID U NOT THE POWER WENT OUT ON A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY. AND I WAS READY THIS TIME. BUT THE POWER CAME BACK ON IN 5 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD ROLL THIS BABY OUT, ALMOST LIKE IT KNEW WGEN9500c WAS ABOUT TO SHOW OUT AND PUT THE POWER COMPANY TO SHAME BUT I CAN REST A SHURED THAT THIS WG9500c WILL HAVE ITS DAY WHEN THE STORM SEASON IN ST.LOUIS MO STARTS SOON, IM LOCKED A LOADED AND READY.

Ready on Arrival!

Just received this generator and I am impressed with how easily it is to unpack, set up, and test run. Great labeling to help operation, and the owners manual is full of helpful info including electrical schematics, parts list, and troubleshooting instructions.

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.

Set up is Simple.

I just bought less than a week ago. Shipping was fast. Generator came packaged well. Simple instructions to follow. Quick minor assembly of wheels. Then just added the oil included and filled with fuel. Started right up after third try, and that was only because it had to prime the fuel. Looking forward to using.

Great features!

I bought this after hurricane Laura and Delta. It stayed in the box until the ice storm of 2021. loved the feature of just pushing a button to crank it. It chokes it and everything with one push of the button. Hurricane season will be back soon. Hope we don’t need it but will be happy we have it

Powerful Generator

I'm very impressed with Westinghouse the quality of this generator. After returning generator from a different manufacture due to mechanical issues, I decided to buy a Westinghouse based of their review ratings and comments. I'm so glad I did! This generator is of better quality than the other one that I had, has more useful features, more power, and was $100 cheaper! If you're in the market for a generator, you should seriously give Westinghouse a chance; I promise you will not be disappointed!

WGen9500 portable generator

Having a back up generator is a must, especially if you live in an area where the power company may shut off power incase of wild fires. As I was looking for a generator, the Westinghouse Wgen9500 portable generator peaked my intestest. It had plenty of great reviews online and it’s very simple to use. After I purchased mine, I had to install the wheels and mounting stand. Add oil and gasoline. Then I fired it up! I tested it out by running an industrial 24 inch fan, a 10,000 BTU portable AC and a 5,000 Lumin flood light. All of the items were plugged in and ran flawlessly. The generator had no issue running. I would say that the generator does get quite loud, however if the whole block is out, I’m sure your neighbors would be doing the same by running their generators. The generator itself is very nice looking, and is fairly a good size that can be stored in a shed or inside of a garage without taking too much space. Overall, I have no complaints so far. This generator even has a push to start and wireless remote start. This review is coming from someone who has never owned or dealt with any other portable gas generators.

WGen9500

I purchased this generator to use for various functions, including backup power during power outages. The documentation was well written, and the instructions were clear. I had this generator up and running in just a few minutes.. the battery start works perfect. The noise level is relatively quiet for a generator this size compared to my last one and it provides more than enough power for any use. Overall. the combination of features, power, and ease of use make it a great generator for anyone. I am extremely happy with this generator.

Great on the voltage

I decided to buy this about a week ago, we survived hurricane Beryl out here in Texas at my brother in laws house because we weren't prepared... he had this particular generator and was able to get it plugged into his breaker box and ran the whole house with it...one of the best investment I have ever done
