It brings confidence.

Glad we got the generator. Had it professionally hooked up to home circuit breaker board. The Westinghouse WGen 12000 peak with a running 9500 will run our central a/c, our refrigerator, t.v. , internet, ceiling fan with lighting and stove/oven with simple meal preparation. Home is nearly 2200 sq. ft. under central a/c.

Fantastic Generator!

Received the generator a couple days ago and it started right up after making sure all the oil levels and battery were good. I cant wait to convert it to natural gas/Propane so that I can use a cleaner source of fuel. This generator will last me for years to come and will power everything I need and more for my little one story home.

Simple straight forward

Super easy to assembly, oil drain is located so it's not going all over. Folks on the service desk are very friendly. Waiting for the smart switch accessory to make this unit really rock. Unit moves easy, the handle is very nice, large wheels means it rolls smoothly over semi rough terrain. Gonna use this unit to power our 6200 sq ft house, when there's an outage.

Great Generator!!!!!

I just bought this after last winter we lost power for 5 days around Christmas time. I have a small camping generator. That only lasted 2 days and we live in the North East. This was easy to assemble and get up and running. Love the push start and remote start. More than enough watts to run everything I need in the house. Great price and fast shipping.

Has Everything!

This generator has everything we were looking for! We needed lots of power with a small footprint as we don't have much space in garage to store a generator. We live in Florida and need to be prepared for loss of power during Hurricanes! Love the ease of use and the remote start is fabulous. My husband and I are both older and have no problem wheeling this machine due to ease of design.

Just What We Needed

We ordered this to replace our generator that quit working. It was easy to assemble. This generator has great features and is big enough to run everything we need in a power outage. Even though it is a large generator it is easy to maneuver around.The electric start is a nice feature and it fired the generator right up. Quiet for its size. Have used smaller generators that are much louder. Very happy with this purchase.

Great Quality and Appearanc!

I am located in Calif. and purchased the WGen 9500 as a proactive step anticipating down electrical time imposed as a fire prevention measure. I am very pleased with the appearance of the product along with the the break-in experience I have had. I not only like the quality of construction and features in the WGen 9500 but especially the power that would allow me to run all the equipment, appliances, etc. in my home. I highly recommend the product thus far and do not anticipate any issues.

Great features and Size for Home Backup power

I bought this item because of features: remote & electric start and transfer switch ready to replace 23 year old smaller model. Day after assembled/set up was huge storm which knocked out power for 9 hours. Generator worked great. 12500 Peak Watts and 9500 Rated Watts and Up To 12 Hour Run Time is just what we needed. What a relief to have.

Security at it's best

We just got it but have tested it and it starts so easy. We live in a hurricane zone and knowing that we have this to fall back on is really easing our minds. We can keep it in the garage under cover until it's needed and it can be plugged into our house to power the whole house. We got a big one because of running our AC.
