Enough for the house

I bought this generator because Westinghouse make an excellent product. I started it for the first time a month after delivery. It was easy to set up and it started with the remote on the first click. No Issues. Can't wait to hook it up and power the house, ice storm is heading to east coast with power outages expected. Will send review after my first use.

Solid Generator with Easy Setup

The generator is solid. Only wheels and rubber feet have to be installed. Clip zip tie off and connect battery leads together. Add oil and gas. Program the remote key FOB. It's that easy. Came with a battery trickle charger which is great and I don't have to tie up my larger unit. It is a very heavy unit but the wheels and foldable handle make it easy to move around.

Excellent Quality Generator

Pleased with this generator - started right up out of the box, no problems. Very little to put together/connect. Tons of features, remote start is a fantastic feature for cold nights! Not looking forward to snow storms or hurricanes, however, feel prepared and confident with Westinghouse quality.

Good Product

This item is heavy-duty and even feels SOLID as you handle it. Arrived in good packaging, with clear instructions for getting started quickly. Very minimal assembly and preparation required before use. Following the instructions I had it ready and running in about 30 minutes.

Perfect size generator for my home.

Just delivered yesterday and I unboxed it today. I have been looking to upgrade to a bigger generator as my needs have changed in my new home. We moved from the hustle and bustle of central Florida to a home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where power outages can be common certain times of the year and when it goes out the average restoration time is 6to 8 hours average. Our other generator wattage was only 5500 peak watts which was adequate for central Florida home with city water and gas appliances. But our new home is all electric with a well pump which the load is higher. I don’t expect it to run the complete home but it will be more than enough to run the necessities to make out power outages a little more easier. With 3 refrigerators , 2 freezers , lights fans and a well pump I was at my limit with 5500 watts. I haven’t used the new Westinghouse Generator yet but I know it is only a matter of time. The day we purchased this we had two outages with in one week totaling 14 hours.

Exactly as advertised...

Generator was delivered in perfect condition. Removed it from the shipping pallet and uncrated it. Followed instructions for setup. Added feet, wheels, oil and gas. Made battery connection and it started right up. Very simple. Haven't had a need to use it for home power backup (thankfully), but I have tested. Everything appears to be in order.

Good quality build

I bought this unit after a heavy rain storm and tornado outbreak downed power lines all over the county. The power was out for 48 hours and then intermittent while new poles were being placed for a total of 5 days without reliable power. I chose the 9500c to ensure I could run most equipment in the house for extended outages. I am happy with the ease of assembly and the clarity of the owners manual. Detailed instructions on short term storage and long term. There is a separate quickstart procedure sheet with a complete maintenance schedule on the back. Assembly tools are included. It is very heavy but the wheels seem very heavy duty and hold the weight, making this easy to roll out. Remember to always get bigger than you think you need so you have room to add and not have to get another generator.

Convenient starting methods!!!

I purchased this generator about a month ago after doing quite a bit of research and looking at the many positive customer reviews. Very happy with the purchase!!! Setup was super easy, instruction manuals are detailed and easy to read through, and startup/break in is a breeze. Start methods are great giving the user the option to start with traditional pull/recoil start, push button start, or even a remote start via key fob! This generator is quiet enough that it won’t disturb neighbors and I barely hear it running from inside the house. Has plenty of power to run everything I need it to in my house during an outage and then some (almost don’t even know the power is out!). Well done on this one Westinghouse, will be recommending your generators to everyone I know.

So far, so good!

We bought this generator as an emergency backup for the after an ice storm left us without electricity for 12 days. Don’t get me wrong, I love the outdoors and roughing it, but that Little House on the Prairie nonsense gets old after a few days and I am not Pa Ingalls. We’re on a well, and I’ve got it figured that this generator will put out enough juice when the time comes to keep the water flowing and keep a light on outside so as prevent that nosy, brat Nellie Oleson from snooping around where she doesn’t belong. In any case, we haven’t had cause to use it yet other than to break it in and in a way I hope it remains that way. God bless and keep on trucking.
