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!

As described

Unit arrived promptly. Started first try. Key fob is a nice convenience. Noise level not as bad as expected but its a generator. Just got it and haven't had a chance to put a decent load on it but I'm confident. Wheels and pull bar are great for moving the unit around, and handle folds out of the way. Nice unit all around.

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.

Checks All the Boxes!

I just purchased this generator with two specific needs in mind… RV power in remote locations and backup home power. The 50 amp receptacle is a make or break feature for us now, and although it’s a bit heavier to transport, it’s worth it for us! Looking forward to seeing how it handles our home during a future power outage.

Best generator in it's price range

I haven't used it beyond filling it with oil and letting it run for an hour to test, but it's a solidly built generator. Assembly out of the box was simple, just 4 bolts and 2 axle pins. I bought it because of Westinghouse's long history with electrical manufacturing, and hopefully their good reputation rings true.

Push button start !

I needed a new generator to run 3 sump pumps, a pool pump and well pump in case of an outage (especially in heavy rain conditions), never mind lights or appliances. I have lived in my house for over 25 years and although I have had “infrequent” outages, some have been lengthy (out for several days) and some have come with lots of rain —- 9” in six hours —- I live in Indiana). I had an older, noisy generator that could run 2 power cords (plus a couple more using surge strips) to run the sump pumps in the basement and the pool pump to help drain down the pool in case of another massive downpour. With this generator, I have almost 2x the power I had before, and I will eventually have it switched to the breaker box so I won’t have to string cords down the stairs; and designated circuits will get switched on when the generator is “plugged in”. There should be enough power to run the a/c or furnace if needed. I’m (72 yr F) and not strong enough anymore to pull stubborn start cords easily and the push start is a godsend (it has a remote starter as well). I also opted for just the gas powered, as I don’t use propane for anything else, and didn’t want to hook up to the natural gas line (no outdoor shed). I also like the usb port feature so I can charge my devices (with WiFi unavailable, my phone charge goes down fast), and the carbon monoxide alarm is a good safety feature, along with the gauge to monitor fuel level, run hours, etc. I don’t need to peek into the gas tank with a flash light anymore and guess at how much fuel is left in it. The generator can also automatically adjust the rpm to a lower level so it’s not running at full blast or one run speed when the output needed is small. The only complaints i have are when I was setting it up —- (1). the quick guide has very small close-up pictures instructing how to put on the 2 wheels and 2 foot brackets. The user manual has much larger and simpler pictures, but I didn’t know that until after assembly. (2). it might also be useful to know that the oil reservoir will take @ 2/3 of the quart of oil (included) to fill—- I probably checked the level 10 times because I was mindful not to overfill. (3) couldn’t find the key fob for some time that was clipped to part of the engine under the top of the machine —— maybe a note with the battery or parts bag (or set-up guide) saying where to find it would be helpful. Ironically, I had just had the generator delivered 1 1/2 days before a storm and power outage and hadn’t set it up yet, so I had to put it together in semi-darkness in the garage and the power came back on shortly, about the same time as I was filling the oil reservoir. Otherwise, easy-peasy set-up, and a lovely, quiet machine that stays put and doesn’t dance around. I am actually looking forward to my next power outage.

Very user friendly

I bought this model verses a Generic and I am glad I did.This is a" generator for dummies" My wife is so pleased that if something happened to me, she would be able to use it.Love the remote starter and fuel option. Looking forward to our first tropical storm.

bullet proof durability and constant power deliver

We use this Westinghouse (WGen9000) as a replacement to the Wgen7500 that we lost in a forest, Both have performed extremely well. This has been used with an offgrid setup, providing power for tools like welders and plasma cutters, also quickly topping up batteries for a solar system on rainy days. Cannot recommend enough.

Product arrived and was packaged well for transport. Like supporting doucumentation that came with product. 50 amp power plug is in a bad spot. Difficult to connect power cord. Power cord rubs on tire. Had to take tire off in order to connect. looking forward to using product .
