Great looking machine.

Picked up my Generator a couple days ago. Real heavy-needed help from neighbor to unload. Assembly for wheels and front feet was super easy. Filled the engine with oil and put a little gas in the tank then hit the button and it fired right up. Friends that have seen it are extremely impressed. Test it on a few small items like power tools and shop equip. The big test will come later this year if we get a hurricane. I hope to power my entire house, but lets hope no hurricanes.

Great quality!

Very pleased with the build quality of this generator. It seems very well built and has a ton of extra features that I didn’t even know about. The remote start is nice and the electric start battery is fully included and works great! Like other reviews mention, make sure to check the oil level after you put what is included in the engine. I bought 2 of these and they both filled up to the top of the L mark on the dipstick, so I added a bit extra to get it further up the dipstick on both units. Overall excellent generator at an even better price compared to other brands!

Great Reliability and Proven Brand

I live solar powered and off-grid in Colorado. And need a very dependable and reliable generator to keep the batteries charged for the days throughout the year with very little sunlight, as well as outdoor projects here at the ranch. I chose the Westinghouse Wgen9500c for its proven reliability and great features and look forward to a long life of service from it.

ease of set up and use

Received the generator this morning and within an hour it was up and running! Detailed instruction manual was clearly written. I can't wait to try the remote start and down the road I'm going to use the Transfer feature which was one of the selling points for me. Great job Westinghouse!

Impressive.

I can't say I am excited to have to use this generator, but I am ready. Maine has a lot of trees and the power will go out. I'm a 74 year old widow and choosing a generator was a bit daunting for me, but have been told by my son and electrician that I did a great job finding a "good one". I should have no problems keeping the lights on, keeping the house warm and getting some household chores done. I feel much better knowing I won't need to mess with the hazard of having a gas heater in the house.

Solid

After a few days without power, I ordered the WGen9500. Powerful enough to run everything I needed. It showed up in 4 days when they said it would. Opened the box, everything was there; generator, wheels, rubber feet, oil, battery charger, and tool. Read the instructions. Step by step with pictures. All I needed to do was put the wheels and feet on, add the oil, and connect the battery wires. The handle was already attached and the battery was charged. Then, added fuel. Nice tank size, 6.5 gallons. Flipped the breaker switch to on, put the rocker switch to RUN, turned the fuel valve to ON position. Pulled the cord slow to prime the engine. Pressed the start button, and it started right away. Tested the 4 outlets immediately with quietestan electric chainsaw, each one worked. With the rubber feet, it didn't move from where I started it. Purposely had it on a slight incline just to find out if it would"walk". It stayed put. Also wanted to know how loud it would be. It said about 74 decibels. Fairly accurate. I have an older one that's rated for 5,000 watts which is much louder. I am going to have it be able to plug into the fuse box of the house and build a box for it to make it a little quieter. It was the quietest one in the neighborhood, even without a box over it. I like the plastic "no flat" wheels. The handle is wide with foam grip. Solidly built. Easy to move. Tried the remote start/stop. Did both first try. From the door of the house. It was in the driveway. I would highly recommend this generator.

Great Product!!!

I bought this product 2 days ago and upon unboxing it I was amazed how well it is put together. I really enjoyed that it has a key fob to start the motor but also a back up pull start (something I did not see on other generators). I look forward to having this generator ready for our church events and in the rare occasion of a power outage. Thank you Westinghouse !!

Smooth Operator

This is a great generator. We are ready for any additional power outages. Didn't want to go thru that again. The remote start is a great feature. The fact that you can move it easily is awesome. I would highly recommend this baby to power your house when the unexpected happens.

Works well for transfer switch

Just got this set up with a transfer switch for the house, and it works well. Set up a manual switch with ten circuits, none greater than 20A. Runs a little more than half the house circuits, no problem. Don’t know about the run time yet with regular electrical use, but manual says it should get about 8-10 hours per tank with normal use. Remote start is nice, can do it from inside the house.
