Bought this unit after we lost power for 11 days last year. We had to rent a generator( smaller in size) and the cost of the rental for 11 days was more than the purchase price of this one. Haven't had to use it yet. Just unboxed it to assemble the wheels and feet. I like that it has 3 different start options. It will be easy to maneuver and set up by myself if and when it is needed. It is quite heavy. Our box came with oil spilled on it from transport but was otherwise is good condition.

Needed a generator for a construction site and none were local due to hurricane Laura. I purchased this and was surprised it arrived in 2 days. Easy assembly and started right up. Great output but was skeptical given the price point.. Lesser units were $500 more in local stores if they were in stock. Great features and a 50A plug so cant wait to fire up the welder with this baby. Only used it one day on the job but worked great and love the remote start feature. That is going to be a huge fuel saver as we only need to run it when we need it. I cant comment on longevity yet but it is a solid unit. Ran saws and hammer drills without any problems.

I ordered this generator before realizing that it was listed as one of the top generators of 2020. Bonus point to ordering! Initial setup including wheels and oil was a breeze. While not listed in the manual, I ran the generator for an hour and changed the oil, as a break-in procedure. I'm a little disappointed that there is no auto-idle. But to be honest, it's likely going to be running at full throttle anyway. While the box it came in was a little rough, there was enough packaging to protect the unit. With that said, there were several chips in the paint and other imperfections. Additionally the battery was connected from the factory and was leaking/corroded around the negative battery terminal. Nothing that is a deal breaker, just disappointing. All-in-all I'm confident in my purchase and would recommend the generator to others that are looking for a backup generator for their house or RV.

Easy assembly of wheels. Directions are simple and on point. Filled oil, added one gallon of gas and this generator cranked with one push of the start button. Also one push with remote. So happy we decided on this generator and will have peace of mind for next hurricane here in SC!

I live out in the woods and needed a backup generator for frequent power outages. This unit is awesome. Easy to start with no hesitations. When the power goes out, this unit has it back up and running in minutes. The 9500 running watts is more than enough power for the essentials.

I purchased smaller model years ago in Florida for hurricane backup after much research and was extremely happy with both the quality and how quietly it ran. Because of our previous good experience with the Westinghouse brand of generators and with all of the added features that are on the new models there was no question about purchasing this model.

I bought this unit to keeps the lights on and other things when the power goes out. I bought it because it looks well built and because it will handle what I need. I went with Westinghouse because they have been around for quite sometime and make quality products!

My wife and I have talked about getting a generator for a long time, being that we live on the East coast, so we decided to purchase now or never. I spoke with several folks about portable generators and it came down to price and quality, which left me to choose between Westinghouse and a near competitor, as both had excellent reviews... although I do like reading negative feedback, I prefer constructive criticism over do not buy this product because that’s a fatalistic mentality... likely it’s the user not the product, which is what I find more often is the case, as a maintainer. I have not started the generator as I have been busy but I plan to start it up tonight. I assembled the generator last night but did not hook up the battery, as I wanted to wait until I was ready to start it, which requires connecting and a charge first. Nevertheless, I am excited to see what this generator is capable of. I will add a video when I start it up tonight (if possible).

I just purchased this to power my off grid shop. My Dad has the 7500 and we loved it. I was able to run my aor conditioner, Millermatic 220v welder, and everything else I the shop using the rv 30 amp plug in The 9500c has a 30 amp and 50 amp plug.

I have just completed assembly and made a test run. The unit started immediately by electric start as the battery was already charged. I was pleased with the clear instructions and ease of assembly with necessary tools included. A very helpful oil filter funnel was also included. Everything worked right out of the box, even the key fob remote starter. Only downside is insufficient packing material. The unit is very heavy and mine was manhandled along its journey. The cover holding the pull start rope was bent inward and had to be pushed out to ensure smooth operation (if the electric start should not work some day). Ready for the next storm or job away from power sources.
