Awesome Whole Home Generator

I borrowed this model from a friend during a power outage. Easy to start, large 7-hour gas tank and enough power to run the entire house including the main home 5-ton AC. We saved enough in spoiled food in a single outage to pay for half the total cost. Living in Texas this is a must have. 50 Amp circuit makes powering the house easy. Ordered my own immediately after basking it the A/C for an hour.

Exceptional Value

The quality and performance of our Westinghouse iGen4500 during hurricane Beryl greatly influence our decision to upgrade to the WGen9500c. We live in the greater Houston area, and we were without power for more than 5 days. The iGen4500 kept our refrigerator and freezer running flawlessly. We are confident that for the next major storm, we will be better prepared with the WGen9500c as our primary emergency power backup. The new generator arrived in pristine shape and was very easy to assemble for service.

Arrived safely packed and complete

Well packed for shipment and complete with a charged battery and a bottle of engine oil. Took less than 10 minutes to unpack and add wheels and feet. Added gas and connected battery plug, then hit the starter button - ran immediately. Tried hand starting, and it fired with the second pull.

Great portable generator (WGen9500)

I did a lot of research before purchasing/ordering this Westinghouse generator. It arrived quickly and after installing the wheel kit, and adding oil and gasoline, it started on the first try. It runs quiter than my old generator, has many more features and will provide more watts. It seems bad weather events are occurring more frequently in our area and this generator will provide the needed power my family and I will need in the event power is lost. Thank you Westinghouse!

Fired right up

Couldn’t be happier! Delivery was a day early. Set up was easy. Everything needed to get this beast running is included except, of course gasoline. Feet and wheels went on easily. Fluids are drained before shipping and pulling the handle upward and gently setting it on its side was smooth. Note – this is a heavy piece of equipment so be careful with it and yourself – feet, hands, etc. I put the gas in and followed the instructions for manual start from cold. It started on the second pull! The battery comes disconnected so there was enough life for push button start and remote start. Both worked as expected and without issue. I haven’t had to put it to operational use yet but I’m sure this monster will keep us powered when the need arises.

solid built

looks like a solid built generator, heavy, which is good, easy to operate, manual easy to follow, runs steady not rough, not loud, minimal vibration, have not plugged into fridge, fans or anything in house, only circular saws-15amp worm drive, did run items like hairdryer, toaster etc., will probably install transfer switch and interlock at a later date, looking forward to making most of it's power output, am very satisfied with unit, after hurricane IDA came thru I new it was time to buy one.

Awesome Generator

Reviewed many generators and Westinghouse WGen9500 had the best fit and and fuel economy for my needs. Came shipped to my door with very little assembly required. Fired right up first push of the button and ran exceptionally quiet. Nice small package and will fit easily in the camper and garage. Very happy with purchase.

Awesome generator

This generator is Awesome! It came with everything needed for start up. Hooked up battery and the generator started after a 1 second push on the electric start the first time. This generator will be used to temporarily power my house during a power outage. It powers almost my entire house without issue. My only gripe is the generator is heavy and although on wheels and I am able to move it without a problem it would be too hard for my wife to move it if she ever needed to.

Easy setup and start

Just received it today. The directions are clear and concise and it was easy to assemble the stand and wheels. After adding the supplied oil and some gas it started right up. I have run it 2.5 hours with a minimal load on both 120 and 240 volt circuits, stopping and starting it twice. The voltage appears to be very constant. I will break it in for another 3 hours tomorrow. Thus far I am very pleased with the generator.

More than expected

Purchased this generator after several days comparing and reading online reviews. The Wgen9500 received great reviews and after running the generator it performed as promised. Started and run for 2 hrs and is running great. Definitely recommend this product.
