Works great, will see how company fixes structural

Works great as a generator, some of the part locations are strange. But generator starts up easily and wheels and handle help with the weight. Had a frame issue out of box where wheel isnt flush but tilted and therefore rubs against the battery. Dont think I can hammer it out, will see if a longer pin and spacers make it work. Will see how Westinghouse handles this.

Generator

I bought 9500 generator for back up as our power has been failing frequently. The generator came quicker than I was told. Assembly was very easy and straightforward. After adding oil and gas it fired right up, I couldn't expect anymore. Very happy with purchase and hoping it holds up

Does the job!

Bought this after Hurricane Dorian to be prepared for future storms as we are a recent transplant to hurricane country. It wasn't the cheapest option, but has 9500 W continuous and up to 12000 peak so it will run most everything we need in an emergency. Received the unit in good shape despite being super heavy. It was mostly ready to go except for bolting on the wheels and ground rests. Hooked up the battery, added oil (included!) and gas and set the fuel open. It started right up with a key FOB like your car. Didn't even have to pull the cord. Super easy. Let it run some to break it in a little bit, then set the breakers and put some load on it. It ran everything fine! It has USB to charge your phones/computers, normal 15A, 30A and even a 50A circuit available. Eventually we would like to hook this up to a transfer switch, but for now we'll use extension cords. Seems to be really easy to use and maintenance appears to be pretty straight-forward. Hoping not to be without house power for an extended length of time but if we are for whatever reason we will be well prepared with this.

99% ready to go from the box

The WGen9055 was purchased from a store and deliver to my door step. The generator was 99% ready to go from the shipping container. After putting in the gas and oil the unit start right up. However, I wish it had a low idle when there is not electrical pull, to conserve gas and noise. Maybe other models have that feature, so make sure you check that out. So far, I am happy with the purchase.

Well deserved excellent reputation.

Picked this up last week. Have powered it up checked all outlets, remote start, everything works as advertised. Have run for about 10 hours of break in so far with various loads including 240V 1-1/2 hp deep well pump. Still need to get a transfer switch hooked up but very happy with my purchase so far!

Great generator

I bought this as a back up for the house if we have a power outage.The workmanship is excellent. Easy to assemble. I was hesitant about the weight, but it is pretty easy to roll around. Started right up. So far I have only used it to run small items,and it does that with ease.

Great Features

I just purchased my Westinghouse standby generator on August 5 of this year and it was delivered yesterday. My son-in-law came out and checked it out for me since he’s mechanically inclined. Being that my wife and I live only 15 north of the Gulf of Mexico and being 78 years young the electric start feature was a great investment in and of itself. Pull starting our old generator was a little rough and asking neighbors to do that for me was embarrassing but now, I don’t have to. Thanks so much.

Good Generator WGen9500

I placed the order of the WGen9500 and it arrived few days later. The generator is 90% assemble. Only have to install the two wheels/legs and add the oil. I don't want to lift the generator around my house so I installed four wheels on it so i can move the generator with ease.

So far I am Impressed

I bought this a week ago. Removed it from the box with no damage or issues. Easy instructions for set up. Once everything was completed I plugged everything in and gassed it up. Easy push button start up. It cranked up with no issues. Running and sounding good. Cant wait to hook it up to my house for backup power.

Excellent Generator

I bought this Generator to have on standby in case of a power outage during storms. After getting it set up and running I am very impressed. If you are looking for a well-built generator with excellent features stop looking and buy the WGen9500. It is well worth every penny.
