Awesome package, Plenty of power for the price

I purchased the WGEN 9500 at Lowes and had it shipped directly to my house. The product was in perfect condition and after preparing the product as directed by the instructions it fired up immediately using the electric start. I also started it using the remote key FOB from about 20 Ft with no problems whatso ever. I am very pleased with it's initial performance and I am 100% certain it will perform as advertised when needed.

Great value for the price

I purchased this Wgen9500 generator during the Fall of 2019 after our local electrical supplier, PG&E, started shutting down grids because of fire danger. I had a small generator (2000 watts) but it wasn't large enough to power our needs. Did my homework, and decided on the 9,500 watt size. This unit came fast, came perfect (no damage), started the first time, and ran great. I haven't had a chance to test its capabilities during a blackout, but it should handle nearly my whole house. It is a bit heavy, and a bit noisy, but that comes with the size. The built-in handle made maneuvering it around very easy, and it is actually smaller than I had expected. Fits very nicely in my outdoor shed, very convenient to store and move around. All in all, a very good value for the price. I would recommend the Westinghouse line without reservations.

Feel much safer now

Our power went out on a Monday during a storm a few weeks ago. Power was not restored until Friday night that week. 90 degrees all week.Decided "never again". It is quality built with some great features to help make a difficult time easier to deal with. Price was very competitive as well. Overall I am extremely pleased.

Perfect generator

I bought this generator to replace one that I gave to my daughter. This generator comes with great features: push button electric start, fuel gage, smart switch outlet, data center to keep easy record of hours ran and maintenance timer, battery charging port to charge battery (came with generator), and CO sensor indicator. Perfect for my needs when we might lose power, which is always possible during the summer/fall as I live in an area known for hurricanes.

Great product

I am so happy with this generator. It's very powerful. I needed something that would power the whole house and after looking at a few thus was the one. The noise level is alot less than I thought it would be, I was a little concerned about bothering the neighbors. Overall satisfied.

So far this generator sucks.

So far it’s sucks. The push button start won’t start it and the pull start doesn’t start it. It just just keeps cycling when I hit the push button and the pull start hasn’t work yet. Also it’s brand new there’s nothing reason why it shouldn’t start. I shouldn’t have to adjust anything for it to start right out of the box.

Worked great right out of the box!!

We have been kicking around the idea of buying a generator for fifteen years or so, and we always seem to wait until a power outage, when they are already sold out, to pull the trigger. This time, we finally took the step and based on reviews by other buyers, plus the size and output, we chose this one. We had it delivered to the house, and once I opened the box, I was able to set it up and start it in about 20 minutes, which included reading directions. We have not used it in an emergency yet, nor have we had it on a trickle charger for any length of time to see how that works out, but the key fob starter worked like a champ, as did the start button on the control panel.

Cadillac of a Generator

We bought this even though we haven't had a generator for a few years, but the weather is so crazy anymore that we felt like a new one was a good idea. The price point was really good for all the features including electric remote start and it appears to be very well built. Even though we don't want the power to go out we are ready to see this thing perform.

Great features

I purchased to mitigate power outages due to hurricanes. Not had to use yet. Main reasons for purchase were ability to connect to home, multi fuel, and remote start option. It is on wheels and has handle so I can move it into place as needed with enough amperage to run essential services of home.

BGreat design and feature

wish I had it for Hurricane Milton. I purchased based upon the reviews and Westinghouse reputation. when my electrician came to install the 50amp interlock, he said I couldn't have made a better choice. Unit started right up, took it through the break in cycle. I'm ready for the next power outage. very pleased, I especially like the covered outlets
