Nice Generator

Comes with a few features others do not. Also three ways to start, which all worked flawlessly. Have not powered the house yet, but checked output and it was as advertised. Needed slightly more engine oil than provided, but only a minor inconvenience. Overall i'm happy with the purchase. We'll see how long term works out.

Great generator

We bought this after the dams failed in our area. My neighbors have one similar to the 9500. I was very impressed with the remote start option. Now my wife can start it from inside the house. We're going to get the box wired for the 50amp service plug.

BEST GENERATOR EVER!

I was looking for a generator with all the features and found exactly what I was looking for with the Westinghouse WGen9500c. I love the build quality and many positive reviews that finally convinced me to go with Westinghouse for my whole home emergency backup system.

The best generator I have own

The best about this generator is the remote control to start it. The push or pull handle lever extends at the right angle and the other cool part is so many plugins options and metal gas tank this the best generator I have ever own. I would and have recommended this generator

Easy Setup

I just received the 9500. It was incredibly easy to set up, right out of the box. I added the supplied oil and fuel and it started right up on the first pull. I then tried the electric start and the remote start fob and for each of them the start was effortless and immediate.I can't wait for our next power failure to be able to put this generator to full use.

Good Product

This item is heavy-duty and even feels SOLID as you handle it. Arrived in good packaging, with clear instructions for getting started quickly. Very minimal assembly and preparation required before use. Following the instructions I had it ready and running in about 30 minutes.

Powerful and great features.

This generator has all the power I need to run the essentials of of my home. Set up was a easy snap. Directions are also easy to follow. Once you assemble the feet and wheels and fill with the provided oil you are ready to start. After a couple of tries it started right up. I let it run for about an hour before I put a load on it. Then gradually over the next two hours I increased the load. I am able to run lights, two TV's, furnace, two air handlers and well pump all at the same time. very impressed with the design and ease of use. A remote starter is a nice added feature. Now I'm ready for the next power outage.

Excellent Generator so far

I'm just getting the generator put together and running today after having it almost a month. It has just about every feature and started on second pull. Starts very quickly now. One note: make sure the battery is connected. The connection was almost hidden but it has to be connected to continue running. Looking forward to using it. It looks great, now if it will run great and for many years it will be worth buying.

Easy to start up

The generator did not hesitate to start running following the start button. Manual directions are easy to follow. I added a soft start adaptor to the A/C compressor to reduce the AMPS to prevent the generator from flipping the breaker every time the A/C compressor turned on. The AMP reducer would not have been necessary if I had purchased an upgrade, but it is to heavy to maneuver.

New generator

Just started the generator up for the first time. I'm running it on propane. Followed the instructions and it did exactly what the manual detailed. Started up on it's 3rd auto attempt and ran smoothly for about 10 minutes with no load. I'll be trying it to run the water well pump this afternoon. So far so good!
