Home generator for bad weather

I just bought the Westinghouse WGen9500c for our home, in case of bad weather. I put a load on it to run some important items in the house and it performed nicely. I plan on having a transfer switch put into our electrical box. We feel better that we have the generator that has a running rate of 9500w and 12500 as a peck rate, in case we lose power.

Outstanding Performance

I just had electricians hook this generator up to power our entire 2,000 SF home and when they fired it up, everything worked 3 ton A/C, 2 refrigerators, 3 bedrooms, all appliances, lights...EVERYTHING. And it didn't seem that the generator was straining to maintain power. The electricians verified that this model was top of the line (and they sell another product). True statement, one of the electricians was so impressed, he's considering purchasing the same unit. It was easy for me to assemble (I'm 72 years young) and pre-flighting was effortless. It is loud, but that's to be expected, so I'm going to build a sound box. All in all, we're totally satisfied and this unit exceeded our expectations. We honestly hope we never have to use it, but if we do, we know we'll remain comfortable during a power outage.

Great Features,

I recently purchased the 9500DF, it came when expected, easy to assemble, started right away. Powerful enough to run all that I want in the house, wheels make it easy to maneuver, I like the push button start. hope that I don't lose power, but this gives me peace of mind when that does happen.

Great Features Easy to use!

I bought this for my husband and myself of course, as we live in a rural area, that tends to have several power outages, from rain & wind storms to Snow or ice storms. We have been left "in the dark" too many times, I did some searching for generators, and looked at MANY reviews, and this one seem to have the best, and what we were looking for. It has enough running watts to run our chest freezer, sump pump, refrigerator, furnace, lights and more! has a push button start, even a key fab, It is very user friendly. It is not too loud, We now are not nervous during storms in case the power goes out, this generator can run 17.5 hours on a full 6 gallon tank of gas. I highly recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is!

I just unboxed the generator, filled with all fluids and put wheels on! Instructions are easy to follow Fired it up and was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is! This is the 9500 watt generator! I am replacing a 9500 watt champion generator that is so much louder! I needed a generator with a 50 amp plug and this is perfect for my needs!

Westinghouse

This is a great generator come with all the accessories was very easy to put together. Started on the first try. Run my whole house without a problem. Did everything it say it would do plus more. Love that is has a 50 amp connection to run more of my home appliances. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone looking to buy a generator.

Rock Solid

I bought the WGen 9500 a few weeks ago because I live out in the country and when the power goes you know you're in for a long ride before it comes back on. Quite easy to set up and a very solid piece of equipment. It's also easy to operate and comes with an easy to read and understand user's manual. It's something that I hope I don't have to use often but when the time comes when I do have to use it, I have peace of mind knowing that the WGen 9500 is ready to tackle whatever power I do need. Highly recommend if you're in the market for a portable generator

Great features! Easy to operate

I bought this just a few days before hurricane IAN ripped through our area. It performed better than expected. We lost power around shortly before noon on September 28th. The generator started easily on the first try and ran continuously for about 11 hours each day (4) until the power was restored. I shut it off at night and restarted in the morning. It used about 6.5 gallons of gas each day, which I thought was very good. It ran great even during rainy periods. It ran my refrigerator, several lights and tv's without straining. After the hurricane I had a transfer switch and outdoor inlet plug installed so I can run the central AC. I tested the system and it performed flawlessly running the AC, refrigerator, dishwasher, 3 tv's and several lights, microwave and a toaster for over an hour in 90 degree southwest Florida heat.

So Far so Good

Just delivered today. Easy set up. Started right up after filling with oil and gas. The battery even seems to be fully charged. I had read some reviews about the rubber feet falling off due to the lack of locking nuts, and planned to Loctite them, but Westinghouse must have listened because the feet were held on with locking nuts. I haven't had a chance to actually test the unit for power output because this is replacing a very old generator with less output and my electrician needs to upgrade the feed to the panel to handle the 50 amp output. The only question I have is why the supplied oil doesn't seem to fill the crankcase, and why no actual oil spec is listed anywhere. I do want to top it up, but I don't want to mix types.

Easy to start!

Totally satisfied with purchase. The push button start & remote start features worked flawlessly. So much easier to start that traditional recoil or pull start. Showed my wife how to start it and she had no issues either. She never was able to run our old generator. Bought it in preparation for the 2024 hurricane season and feel confident that it will handle our needs if electrical power is loss.
