Bought this for residential use. Has features with remote start, enough power for nearly everything in our home without having to pick and choose what’s got a power back up. Sturdy construction with easy movement with big wheels that even this older female could move.

I bought this generator several months ago, sometime in May 2021, and was not able to setup and test it right away due to several reasons such as storage, timing, and others. However, I finally was able to setup and tested it this Christmas week as an advance gift for myself. The setup was simple and the test was excellent with the load. I was also able to setup the remote control and it worked great.

We purchased this generator after we had a transfer switch professionally installed. It will power the house, including our central AC, in the event of a prolonged power outage. Fingers crossed we will never need to use it, but knowing we have it in the garage ready to go gives great piece of mind.

We purchased this generator almost a month ago and couldn't be happier with our decision. Living in Eastern NC, we experience hurricanes yearly, and we get the occasional winter snowstorm. We live out in the country and anytime any such storm is forecasted, its practically a guarantee we will lose power. In the past, these power losses have been anywhere from a few hours to several days. I have a 26-year-old special needs daughter who spends the majority of her life on the internet. Of course, no power...no internet, It doesn't take long before everyone is in a fowl mood. Also, if the outage extends more than a few days we lose 2 chect-type freezers full of food and everything in the refrigerator. Added to all of this, I, myself was put on oxygen by my doctors in July. Its something I will have to deal with for the rest of my life. As you can read, taking all of these circumstances into account made selecting a generator a very important decision. We did our homework and researched several different models and brands. After much deliberation, we decided on the Westinghouse WGen 9500. It met all of our needs and then some, It's big enough for the square footage of our house, and having the option of using the remote is truly a blessing, I don't want to have to go out in a storm at my age to pull start it, at 70 years old, it's not safe. We haven't had it a month yet but have already put it to the test. We took almost a direct hit from tropical storm Ophelia last weekend. We lost power before the storm even made landfall. Within minutes we were back up and running. Nobody got fussy without the internet, we had no loss of food and I was able to continue on my oxygen. This generator is definitely a lifesaver. We do have plans to have it hard wired to the house when finances permit but even using it with cords, we couldn't be happier. I would like to receive the cover to protect it. Thank you for making a fantastic product.

I'm very impressed with Westinghouse the quality of this generator. After returning generator from a different manufacture due to mechanical issues, I decided to buy a Westinghouse based of their review ratings and comments. I'm so glad I did! This generator is of better quality than the other one that I had, has more useful features, more power, and was $100 cheaper! If you're in the market for a generator, you should seriously give Westinghouse a chance; I promise you will not be disappointed!

Purchased this 9500 model on 3/15. I've not had chance to do more than start it for testing purposes, but she runs great. It's easy to move around, feels well built and, for the price, is a great value among larger generators. This will ultimately power my whole home during outages. I'm anxious to use it, but not looking forward to any more deep freezes or hurricanes. :)

I bought the generator about 3 weeks ago to replace a 6000 Watt generator. Having the extra power will enable me to use some of my 240 Volt appliances during prolonged outages. The ability to remote start and connect the smart switch at a future date are a plus.

The generator was well packaged and arrived with no damage to either the carton or the generator. The wheels and legs were easy to attach and adding the oil was also easy. I made the battery connection and the generator turned over on the first try. The FOB remote worked just as well. After putting fuel in the tank and remembering to turn the fuel shutoff valve to the on position, the generator started on the second time it turned over. The electrical output was excellent. The only thing about the generator I do not understand is it is rated at 9500 running watts and one outlet is a 50-amp. This would equal 120 volts x 50 amps = 6000 watts. I asked if the 30-amp and 50-amp outlets could be used at the same time and was told no. I do not know how to get the full 9500 running watts out of the unit.

I reviewed generators myself for several months. Then I checked other's reviews on the internet. Westinghouse came out on top. So far I have just fueled it up and ran a test. A little bit loud. But what do you expect from a 9500 watt machine? I consider this insurance for long term power outage. I live in a hurricane/tornadoes area. I really hope I don't need it, but ....

The WGen9500 is easy to set up and easy to use. I purchased this for the rolling power outages in California. When I am not at home my wife can start the generator from a push button key fob. This unit provides excellent power and flexibility and at a very good price. A+.
