Wont stay running

I bought generator 4 months ago and worked great. Now it has only 50 hours on it and it will start up just fine and maybe run 2 seconds and shut off or 5 minutes and shut off. Starts back up just fine but won’t stay running.

Great Features at a Great Price

After reviewing and evaluating several portable generators, I selected the WGen9500c for the appropriate output for my situation and for the remote start capability.

WESTINGHOUSE Generator 9500C

Looking forward to using this beauty. Looks good and strong. Was delivered in a few days and putting together was easy. Just prepared in advance in case we need it.

A happy customer. Highly recommended

Bought this generator as our old one would not start due to age. I am amazed at how well this worked for us especially during this Blizzard we got. Highly recommended to anyone who needs a new generator

Farm Purchases

We are pleased with the quality of this unit. Very heavy, well constructed. Works like it should and powers our pump houses. They run electric pumps and don’t skip a beat. Remote start and shut down. Hour meter and multiple outlets to pick from. We use the 240 v. Can’t go wrong with this purchase

Verified Purchase

Westinghouse generator

Ordered this generator for a planned electric company outage. The outage did occur as scheduled but later when I wasn't able to see it's capabilities. It did start easy and assembly was simple. Arrival time was as noted on my purchase information. I believe this was a good purchase for the price and It'll be beneficial when the opportunity presents itself.

Great looking generator

I bought this generator for up at the lake. We own a mobile home that plugs into the power grid using a 50 amp plug. So when we lose power we can just pull the plug from the local power and plug it into the generator. I plan to buy a larger unit for home use.

Verified Purchase

Ck. thoroughly before bad weather event-

Liked the ease of starting and overall appearance BUT----The day of the hurricane hit Florida; it failed to generate any electricity--ran great but no juice. In its present condition I would give it 5 stars when used as a boat anchor. I have owned several generators previously.

Convenient and Powerful

Live in the woods and wind causes frequent power outages. The remote start is super convenient for our setup and once fired up, we have plenty of power to support the needs in our home, and the mother-in-law's RV. Couldn't be happier with the purchase and quality. Worth the investment!

Power, Size and Quiet - Works for us!

The Westinghouse WGen9500c Generator with CO Sensor delivers all the power we need, yet its compact size makes it easy to move and store. It starts effortlessly (the remote is a great bonus), and I was impressed by how quiet it runs for its class. It handles all our essentials—and then some—for our 2,100 sq. ft. home during winter outages. So far, it's been reliable, efficient, and exactly what we need for an emergency backup generator.
