Like the flexibility (30-amp & 50-amp receptacles)

I am pleased with this selection of generator for backup for my home or boat. It has 30-amp and 50-amp capability. When I unpacked the generator from box, very simple to assemble. Added oil, gas, and connected battery. Unit fired up within seconds for first start. I do like the push button start with pull start backup.

Fantastic Generator

Opened box and put the 2 wheels and 2 legs on with the supplied tools, added oil/fuel and connected the battery. Followed the starting instructions label on the generator and was running within 10 minutes of opening box. So simple. Hooked up my RV to the 50amp outlet and turned on the A/C, TV, Microwave and the unit didn't flinch at all. Such a great Generator, would recommend for sure. Love the fob to start and stop from inside the RV

Perfect Unit

I bought this unit last year in August 2019 to prepare for outages we experience several times during the winter. Well, never had an outage until 10/2020 - I never got it ready to run until this outage, put the gas and oil in it, hooked the battery up and hit the start button BAM! started right up and been running for 16 hours on same full tank.

Looks good so far!

This is our first generator, after a lot of research we decided on the Westinghouse WGen9500. It feels/looks well built and the basic assembly was very simple. Love the features and the remote start. Excited to have it, hope we don't have to use it! (Florida)

Versatile generator

Purchased this generator at a great price. Much more features than my last two generators. We live in south Louisiana, so a generator is a must. Love the USB ports, the different receptacles, and circuit breakers. The data center and battery indicator will come in handy. The CO sensor brings peace of mind! Generator started up on the first try. The remote is an awesome thing to have too, and it started the generator on the first try. I would not hesitate AT ALL to recommend this generator to anyone. I now feel better with the height of hurricane season at hand! I’m so glad I purchased this after reading all the good reviews and seeing all the extra useful features.

Exactly what I wanted

Only had this two weeks so far but I will say that this unit was very easy to assemble. Once I filled the fluids I went to start it and the generator started like a champ. Started with pull cord, electric start and remote fob. All worked and the unit ran great. Had a wire on the unit that was pinched in half during shipping at some point, will get hold of Westinghouse about that, But I'm confident that they will give me the assistance that I need.

Easy setup and love the remote start.

Easy setup. Added oil and fuel and it started right up. Remote start works great. The battery maintainer is very useful since it may sit for weeks unused. Bought this generator to run the whole house during frequent power outages. And it does no problem.

Easy start!

I bought this to replace a 20 year old 5,000 watt unit that was struggling to keep up with the load we wanted during power outages. The old unit was a real pain start up and ran unevenly. After setting this one up and starting it with the remote start fob, I am looking forward to having it for the next outage!

Easy to assemble

Received as a gift. I have had the generator about two weeks and haven't started or used it yet. Easy to assemble but I tipped and supported it to the front (muffler side) to install the wheels and support feet rather than to the side as the instructions implied. Appears to be sturdy and I am anxious to try it. The only drawbacks I can determine at this time are the locations of the oil filler neck and the manual chock which may prove awkward for an older individual.

Easy to Assemble

We bought this since we live in Florida and the HOA regulations wouldn't allow to have a permanent generator. We researched and like the reviews for this portable generator. The wheels were very easy to put on. Started very easy when we tested it.
