Big Unit

The unit looks well built and strong. It was very easy to assemble. I added gas and followed the instructions and it started on the first try. I let it run for about a half hour without any load letting the engine wear in. I was very surprised at how quiet this unit is given it's size, but to compare, my pressure washer is louder. I haven't used it yet but I will update when I do

The Beast

Now I know why they call this The Beast. Everything I wanted in a generator and then some. Really love the VFT Data Center. Displays Voltage, Frequency in Hertz, Lifetime hours, and Run/Maintenance hours. Remote start is a nice added feature. Perfect for backup power when the power goes out.

Happy Customer

I did a lot of research into portable generators for our home and landed on the WGen9500. It offered the most essential features and greatest capacity for the price range which coupled with the Westinghouse reputation and dependability made the difference for me.

quality product

This is our first generator. It seems to be very well made, sturdy and good quality materials. The instruction manual was clear and easy to follow for our first start up. The electrical work necessary to connect the generator to the house was accomplished in only 2 hours. Our first start up was like magic. Using the remote starter the unit started right up and it was actually quieter than I thought it would be. Although I am not looking forward to having a power outage, living in the northeast we will certain have an opportunity to use it this winter. I feel confident that it will serve us reliably during the long New England winters.

Easy to use

Bought after an ice storm here in Michigan, great power to be able to run all the essentials at the house since we live in the country and can easily go a week before the power is back on. Easy to use, anyone in the family can get it hooked up and running.

AWESOME FEATURES!!!

This machine will definitely resolve my power outage problems, specially at these drastic changes in the weather, global warming, etc. It's very easy to move around and as that old quote: " Better have it and don't need it, than need it and don't have it".

Built well

I received this generator one week ago and the assembly was a breeze taking only a few minutes to set up. The generator started right up and has great features with a push button start, pull start, and remote. The generator seems well built, I have rant it twice, and I highly recommended it.

So Far So Good

bought this to replace a generac that has seen better days. Haven’t had to use it yet, but the setup was pretty straightforward and started up after a few presses of the start button. after getting it started outside for the first time, the remote start worked from inside the house as I hoped.

Great features and simple to start

Very easy to set up and start. Added oil,put in fuel, started up first try. Have not tried to power the appliances yet. Would have given 5stars but the staples on the box scratched the frame in shipping. (Cosmetic damage only). Missing 2bolts and a washer. Looking forward to running the generator.

WORKS GREAT-POWERS MY EQUIPMENT EXECELLENTLY!

Arrived very quickly. Very easy to move with wheels and lift handle for me and my wife. Lifts and moves like a 25lb item for a 200+ Generator. The battery came fully charged. This is our third generator and this is by far the best. Easy to register our new Generator online for warranty.
