Great Features WGEN9500c

I did a lot of research and found that this generator had all the features I needed and the ability to run different appliances. We just received it today, and I am waiting for my electric company to install a Generlink switch so once it is running, I will submit another review.

Nice has everything I need

Just received couple days ago so haven’t got to test it good yet. Have ran to break in everything works as should, really like the 50A receptacle feature. Put oil and gas in and hooked up battery and it started right up, seems like a good piece of equipment.

grear quality and features for the price.

Purchased product a short time ago and have used for several hrs with no issues what so ever.Living remotely in maine, we loose power frequently throughout the winter months and now feel very secure knowing we have the stand by power. I am very pleased with this unit and look forward to many years of use.

Shipped and Handled Poorly

Luckily we haven't had to use the generator since we bought it but it appears to be solid. Followed the simple assembly directions for the wheels then added oil and fuel. She started right up with a push of the button and ran beautifully. Did notice rust blisters on the top of the control panel so that will have to be sanded down and repainted at some point. Biggest complaint was with the shipping. The generator was clearly stored upside down because although they drained the oil, the little bit left inside ran out and was all over the top left corner and the control panel. The frame rail was also all scratched up (More Painting Will Be Needed) and the silica bag placed in the box was torn open and the silica beads were everywhere. Had to ensure none got into the generator before starting.

I never thought about a gen till recent looking back at the struggles of blackouts thru out the years. That’s over now thanks to Westinghouse 9500/12500 gas, I can power my whole house. Turned on like a champ me and my family are super excited. Com on black outs…I got something for you. Lol.

WGen9500

I purchased this generator to use for various functions, including backup power during power outages. The documentation was well written, and the instructions were clear. I had this generator up and running in just a few minutes.. the battery start works perfect. The noise level is relatively quiet for a generator this size compared to my last one and it provides more than enough power for any use. Overall. the combination of features, power, and ease of use make it a great generator for anyone. I am extremely happy with this generator.

Easy to assemble and moves smoothly with wheel kit

Living in Texas we know the value of being well prepared for hurricane season. In fact I am writing this review less than a week after Hurricane Beryl devastated the greater Houston region. Having a powerful home outdoor generator brings invaluable peace during an otherwise chaotic event. We purchased this 9500c to increase our power to 50 amps for our newly installed plug-in breaker box. This generator was easy to assemble and moves smoothly with wheel kit that is included. Beryl may be gone, but we're on the front end of what may be a very active hurricane season. I highly recommend this generator.

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.

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.
