a easy to use generator

This generator is just what I needed. With its remote start ability its perfect for my need's. Do to a injury I cant use the pull starting method and this generator allows me to start it with the push of a button or better yet use the remote key fob. When needed, I now have the peace of mind that having a generator that I can use when needed is ready for any emergency

Outstanding Generator

The Generator arrived at my residence as advertised. Everything was included for easy set up. Once the generator was set up, it fired up with a push of a button. That electric start is outstanding. I am very pleased with the remote start key fob and the included battery charger. Outstanding value, very pleased with my purchase.

Very nice generator

After searching out a lot of different generator brands I zeroed in on this one because of the features it has. It was shipped on a pallet and no damage to the box whatsoever. Was packed very well and comes assembled with only the wheels and front legs/feet to put on. I added the oil, fuel, plugged together the battery connections and it fired right up. Runs very smooth and is quiet as my Honda 11 HP 7000 watt generator is. Plugged in my power saw and it didn't even hiccup. I bought this for back up power on my house and will be trying it out this weekend but confident is going to perform the way I want it to.

Excellent!

Bought this to be a back-up generator to power a few things when the storms hit. Had no intention of running anything too big with it other than that. But this generator is a workhorse. It provides all the power I need to do anything I want. What is even better is when I was having an electrician install a couple of outlets in my garage, he saw the generator and asked if I wanted him to install a connection for it to run my house. I did not know it, but this baby has enough power to run my entire home in power outages. He wired it up, we cut the main power, and the house was powered by this generator. My electrician had nothing but praise for the unit. So glad I decided to follow the other reviews and buy this unit. I crank it once a week just to make sure everything is good (old fire department habit), and she runs like a champ. To be honest, I think I got more than I paid for. Thanks for this product!

Great Portable Generator

I bought this portable generator to power my house in Texas during hurricane outages. The installation and set up were easy as the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Upon completion of the set up instructions the generator fired up first time using both the push button and remote start fob. I highly recommend this generator for homeowners.

Great Product

I purchased this machine a month ago to power my welders and plasma cutter. I started on a fence project the day I received it and noticed right off that bat that it does not skip a beat nor does it have any issues that other generators had. Great Product I highly recommend it and you can not beat the price.

To soon to tell

Product seems sturdy. Have not had the need yet to really put it to the test. Had two issues. Wheel rubs on negative cable. Rotating cable 90 degrees is a fix. Generator comes with 1.1 liter of oil which is the capacity according to the manual but this does not register on dip stick so buy another bottle before taking it home.

Just what I needed

My old generator quit at the worst time. The Westinghouse 9500 is bigger and far more reliable than the other brands I have owned. This model will run the entire house, rather than stringing extension cords and deciding what my power priorities are. No more oakey rigged cords through the window. Thank you Westinghouse.

Big Dawg Generator

Bought this after several days of power outage and rolling blackouts. With 9500 running watts I can run a bunch of stuff. Learned that the 30 amp and 50 amp plugs can be split from 240 to multiple 120 volt circuits with the proper generator cords (Westinghouse cords on the way!). Big enough to help my neighbor out if needed. Coolest feature is the remote start and stop.

Impressed!

Got my new WGen last week and just now got to unpacking it. I have 3 Gens (Cat, Honda, and now this Westinghouse). I can't wait to use it. It's a beast for sure! Weighs heavier than my Honda. It has the 50 amp & 30 amp hookup, which is a plus. This will be my go-to Gen when firing up homes. (I do cleanup & startups on new mobile homes in the field.) Thank you, Westinghouse.
