Started with 1 pull.

I just set up the generator as per instructions and found that the battery was not charged so I decided to give it a pull and was pleased that it started right up. I am running it now to charge the battery and plan to run it each month so when I need it, it will be ready to go. So far, VERY PLEASED.

Drives like a caddy!

Absolutely love this thing! It looks great, easy to set up even though the instructions are out of date, and can power 6 breakers in my home just fine. I cant believe these generators have a remote start Fob! Westinghouse best in the business doing it right! Worth every penny spent!

Great features.

I bought this a few weeks ago as the back-up power source for my camp house. Really like all of the sfaety features such as the Main Circuit Breaker, the AC outlet breakers and the GFCI outlets. The Electric start and remote key fob start/stop made this a great purchase.

Amazing !

Generator far exceeded my expectations. This thing is a beast. With electric stove, microwave and ac turned off ran my house without a hiccup. I have a 30 amp hookup to my house and should have gotten the 50 amp but regardless 30 amp is still more than enough. I tried starting with push button, then wireless start and pull start and this thing didn’t flinch and started immediately with all 3 types. This is my first time with portable generators and I knew by the other reviews that I had made the right decision. You will not be disappointed. It is a beast ! Thank you Westinghouse for such a great product . You’ve got a customer for life!

Peace of Mind During Power Failures

We bought this generator after many months of looking for one that filled our needs for electrical service during power failures. I love the electrical remote start as I can stand at my circuit panel in the basement and start the generator before making the switch to backup power. The price fit our budget. And the unit powers all the equipment in our house we need to keep my wife save during power outages.

Replacement of old Generator

Replaced old unit with new generator that has more watts, the unit should have switches for 120v to 240v. Which would make using unit easier. To which you have to rely on the unit to make that choice for you which can be nerve racking at times unless you don't care about the item being powered by the generator.

WGen9500c for my 50 amp 5th wheel RV!

I bought this generator about 2 months ago. It was super easy to assemble the wheels and foot stops. The instructions are very easy to follow. The unit comes with the exact amount of oil needed. The unit started right up with the electric start button and then again with the remote. I started EVERYTHING in my 5th wheel and the generator did really well. I have two huge A/Cs, a full size fridge, full size microwave, electric water heater, water pump, electric fire place and a few appliances (such as vacumn, coffee). I just added some fuel stabilizer just in case since I won't be using it as often. Last thing, I'm currently at about 5,000+ feet above sea level. The instructions say I may need a kit for high altitude, but I haven't needed it yet. The generator is slightly louder than I would like, but I found it to be the quietest in the market that can produce this much power. The generator is also heavy, so I posted a picture of how I put it in my RV.

WGen9500C runs great and does everything it suppos

I purchased the generator a week ago after my 22 year old generator stopped working. This generator is much better and the technology has come a long way. This generator has remote electric start, included battery and charger and an extra 2000 watts to boot. It started right up and does everything it is suppose too.

So far so good

Full disclosure… I haven’t had the need, thank God, to attach this generator to my panel to run my house. That’s the only reason I can’t give it a five star rating as of yet. It was incredibly easy to set up. Even the oil was included in the packaging. It started right up whether I cranked it, pressed the button on the unit or started it with the fob. The features on this thing are absolutely fantastic. It’s so user-friendly that I’ve started it up multiple times since that first day just to keep it primed. Hopefully I will never have to use it to power my house, but I have confidence that it will give me no problems should I need to. Great product!

Great Generator!

I bought this after the "Great Texas Freeze", so happy I did! No more power outages for me.It was easy to assemble, rolls around easily with the no-flat wheels. Pretty compact considering the huge wattage. Looks nice, easy to start with the push button or remote. Makes my life easier, no more worries! I love it!
