Great generator

I bought this for my house that was damaged in a storm. So I could have power to rebuild. We had a music festival the generator ran a 38ft fifth wheel with two air conditioners along with everything else plus another 24ft camper with one air conditioner plus all its stuff. Multiple neon signs, and outdoor activity lights for four days non stop! Never had a problem! Never dropped voltage! Great product!

Great generator

I just purchased this generator for our home and I have to say this thing is great when it comes to quality. Just a small assembly of the wheels and front feet adding oil and gas it is ready to go. Started right up and the thing that really amazed me was that it wasn't nearly as loud as I expected. I have it wired to my house using an interlock kit instead of a transfer switch. This way I can get full use of the generator without having to select certain circuits. Not looking forward to any power outages but I'll be ready when they happen. Highly recommend this generator for all off grid power needs.

Great features it meets all my needs.

The product was purchased because we have a lot of power outages. The Generator will be a Great asset for our family and electrical needs. The well, furnace, air conditioning and other viable appliances will be able to run off this portable WGen9500 generator. We are very happy with the purchase and affordability of the product.

I found this unit to be exactly what I needed

Ordered this unit in Sept to replace a broken unit. Decided to up grade to this one. As far as I am concerned it was plug and play at all three of my properties through Ga, and Fla. So far so good. Only gave a good rating due to low hours on unit at this time.

BGreat design and feature

wish I had it for Hurricane Milton. I purchased based upon the reviews and Westinghouse reputation. when my electrician came to install the 50amp interlock, he said I couldn't have made a better choice. Unit started right up, took it through the break in cycle. I'm ready for the next power outage. very pleased, I especially like the covered outlets

Reliable and powerful for those working from home

I bought the generator due to some power outages and had a 50amp interlock switch installed to my main breaker in case of emergency. Just the other day we lost power again due to a downed electric pole and the generator was ready to go. Within a few minutes the generator was powering everything I needed including two refrigerators, a few lights, my network/internet equipment, and work computer. In these times of working from home, losing power can result in a loss of productivity but the WGEN9500 was a life saver and had me back up and running in no time at all. Thanks Westinghouse!

WGen9500

This electric start is just great. Put in the gas and oil hooked the battery connection and it fired right up. Key fob will probably be nice when it's setting outside and it's cold out. We're all electric and this should be enough generator to run all the essentials.

Initial Impressions

I bought this generator on line 3 weeks ago. It just arrived and I was so impressed with the set up process I decided to write a review which I rarely do. The machine is obviously very well built and from reviews I read prior to purchasing, I expect to get years of good service from it. What impressed me so far was how customer friendly the set up process was. The instructions were well written and the illustrations were very helpful. The manufacturer has gone to great effort to make all aspects of setting up this machine as simple and straight forward as possible. I was literally able to set this up and get it started in less than an hour and actually enjoyed doing it.

Great generator

I replaced my old generator with this Westinghouse WGen9500, I am very happy with it. The wheels and feet were very easy to install, then I just filled up the oil, add gas and it started right away on the first try. I did not have any problems. I really like the remote start feature. I researched lots of generator brands and I am very happy I chose Westinghouse

Terrific

Bought as a backup generator about 3 months ago and have had several occasions to use it so far including one outage that lasted several days. It was quick to set up and get running and has been very reliable so far. The power output is excellent, we run a 2200sqft house on it including 2 refrigerators and 2 freezers. The electric start is a nice feature, it makes it much easier for my wife or daughter to get it going if I’m not home when power goes out.
