Convenient, easy, and powerful

I bought this generator to replace a smaller one hoping to be able to run a few more items now that my wife and I work from home and have 2 small kids. My neighbor bought a smaller Westinghouse generator and i was intrigued and impressed, so I bought one as well, just a bit bigger.. It was delivered a day early, easy to assemble ( put the wheels on and add oil ). Add Gas, Started right up. I was surprised how quiet it was for the size of the engine. I plugged it in to the house to see what kind of load/strain it would handle... it didn't even bog down or struggle. We run the boiler, 2 refrigerators, water cooler, microwave coffee maker, lights, Tv, Wifi, Cable box, and the garage door. Now we are ready for the next power outage.

Great looking home generator

I bought this generator with the intention of running my whole house with a 50 amp generator inlet and interlock kit installed. I plan on installing a soft start on my ac unit to cut down wattage usage being used thru out the house and not worry if it will run with everything else. I did the amp and wattage data and this generator should provide all the power I need it to. Overall, I'm confident that it will do the job it was meant for. It seems to be a well made,sturdy gerator and it is definitely a heavy unit. It was easy to assemble.It came with very good owners manual that explained both assembly and everything about generator function/maintenance. I got it at a extremely good price to boot, so im very happy with it.

This generator runs my whole house.

Just purchased this a few days ago after my old generator died during an extended power outage. I was looking for something to run my whole house, including the AC, and this does the trick. It was easy to assemble, super easy push button start. Haven't had a power outage, but gave this a trial run, and it definitely does the job.

Powerful Generator

I bought this generator to replace our old one that stopped working during our last storm and am so glad I did. I liked the fact that this is an electric start because my old one was a pull start and too much work. An added plus is the key fob that allows for remote start- no more running outside to pull start! Unboxing was quick and set up required putting feet and wheels on, connecting battery and adding oil(which was included) and gas. It was fairly quick and simple and directions are easy to follow. I couldn't wait to test it out. A few people mentioned how loud this generator was but I am sat it is no longer than any other generatorvi have heard and there are quite a few in my neighborhood. Starting was unbelievably easy. Key fob remote start took just a hold down of start button as did electric start but the real winner was how easy the pull start was- one pull and it started right away. This was such a a pleasant change from our last generator that took many pulls. I like the digital screen that tells you volt output, frequency, and lifetime hours to keep you up to date eith real time info and maintenance needs. There is some important information to know regarding the breaking in period but everything is clearly stated in manual. The manual states that the generator will run for 12 hours on the full 6.6 gallons of gas. The lift up handle and wheels makes it very easy to move around. I have to say I am looking forward to our next power outage now that I have this. I highly recommend!

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.

Great Generator

After a lot of research we chose the Westinghouse 9500 generator as or back-up power source for our house. Best bang for the buck! This is a well built machine with the features we wanted. It arrived quickly and required minimal assembly (tires and oil). I also plan on using the generator for working around our property. Overall extremely happy with this purchase.

Awesome Generator

My wife and I purchased this generator as a way to power some of our needs when the power goes out. Haven't been able to use yet for power needs, but will say it did start without any problems and was really easy. Electric start is an awesome feature and was one of our main points.

great features

I bought this generator in September 2023. We have used it several times since then. I like that there is three ways to start it. I love the remote start feature. It starts every time that I need it to. I also like having a fuel gauge on the generator. When it is running it's not very loud.

Good So Far

Waiting for the big one in Los Angeles so haven't had a chance to use it yet. However it arrived on time, was well packaged and very intuitive to use. I did add oil and a few gallons of gas, pushed the start button and it fired right up almost instantly.

Great Choice

I had been looking for some time to purchase a generator for home use . After a lot of research I settled on the wgen9500 and So far I am very pleased with the purchase . The remote start makes life so much easier and the various outlets provides plenty of options for my needs with up to 12,500 peak watts . I would definitely recommend this product
