Verified Purchase

JUST WHAT I NEEDED WHEN THERE IS A POWER OUTAGE

This generator fits my needs. Easy to assemble, easy to operate. Just what I needed to keep my tw refrigerators, freezer and lights on when we have a power outage. Remote start is great also. Thanks Sam’s Club for a great buy!

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

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 generator

I have a generator that has 26 hours on it and I have had nothing but problems with it, so i decided to buy a new one and read all the reviews and watched all the videos on youtube and found that westinghouse was the top of the line to get, so I got a wgen9500c and I could not be happier with this great generator! I can run my whole house on this generator and it doesn't break a sweat. Best purchase I made this year.

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.

Exactly what we needed for our RV. Works great!

Works great! This is exactly what we were looking for. We trusted Westinghouse would provide a solid product and they do. The remote start is fabulous. Having the different starting options is an awesome idea. Building in more than the one outlet is a must. Easy access to the gas tank and oil refill is also a must. These well engineered features make this product easy for the whole family to use.

Starts Great!

I just purchased this generator as an emergency power supply, so I haven't actual used it yet. The set-up instructions are nice and clear. The generator started on the first try using either the start/stop button or the remote. This is a great plus for me since I don't always have the strength to use a pull cord start. The only issues I have are the weight at over 200 lbs. (but I knew this when I made the purchase) and that the instructions mention an "ECO" switch that allows the generator to run longer on a tank of gas and to run more quietly. I see no "ECO" switch anywhere on the generator.
