Overall best generator!!!

I bought this generator to replace a 20+ year old one that was only a pull start without wheels. So this one is a mega upgrade over my old one. The electric start is a superior future alone. I do a lot of hardscaping and this generator runs all my block cutoff saws at ease. Don’t hesitate, just go buy it. You won’t regret it!!! A++++ product!

Powerhouse!

I bought this 2 months ago for the upcoming hurricane season. Delivery was on time and excellent service. The guys even helped me load the box onto a dolly. Set up easy enough for someone with no experience in generators. I did hire electricians to add an RV receptacle and run through main breacker panel. Start up was simple with push button (which is the only way I've tried so far) but love that there is a remote for lazy days and manual pull/choke if other options fail. Wow is all I can say to the power this thing can handle!!!! I hope we don't need to use it, but confident it will do the job if it is needed. Highly recommend for quality and price point!

Happy with my purchase

While I haven't yet had a power outage, I've run this generator and I'm happy with the product. It started fine with the first attempt after filling with oil. Runs strong. I like that it came with a pretty good paper manual. The remote starter is an interesting feature and should come in handy on a day with lots of snow and no power.

New W9500C generator purchase

We just picked up this new generator on July 9th, put the wheels and stops in place, gassed and oiled up checked overall. For first time cranking in 1 second was purring along, tested the electrical voltage output by plugging in various items like fans drills etc. Worked flawlessly even tried remote control is perfect, what a great replacement for my old Gen set. Hope this is going to last for many years to come. Thanks for a great product Riley and Kiriam M.

Great backup power

I live in an area where power outages can happen at a moments notice, and when the do I am often without power for extended amounts of time. Often a week to 2 weeks. My old generator could only run my well pump and a few lights. This unit can run most if not all of my house. It will be awesome to be able to not worry the next time I have an outage.

Awesome generator!!

My previous 7800watt generator lasted about 18 years so the bar is set high. This Westinghouse generator is now 2 years old and works like it just came out of the box. The peak power to >12k is awesome. I have a large 2 story home with well pump, central air, 2 freezers, a frig, computers, tv's, etc, and I can run all of them on this generator without any issues. I have had to use twice, once for 6 hours and once for 12 hours, and both times it ran great. It is quieter than my previous generator and moves around easily. Great product!

Great quality

This generator is built very good. Handle and wheels make for easy moving around. Engine and generator look very well built and it is packaged nicely in the frame. It has handled very well so far. I highly recommend this machine to anyone that looses power often. This thing runs my entire house.

Awesome

We bought this for our camper as well as our home because we live in GA and hurricanes aren’t our strangers and we are completely satisfied. My husband loves the remote start. He has a bad back so having a generator that we had to pull start before was rough on him. I’m so glad we decided on this one.

Great Features and Good Price

I looked at a number of other generators and for the price, the WGen9500 was the best deal and got very high ratings. Especially like the easy start button and the remote start feature. Plenty of power for the money! A well laid out and packaged unit. Easy to set up and go. Had it up and running in 15 minutes from the time I took it out of the packaging.

Purchased for Mother-in-laws back up power needs.

Purchased this unit for my mother-in-laws back up power needs. 1st impression is it is of high quality construction. Easier to move and starting is a breeze. Will be easy for her to start either pressing start button or key fob. Will be a great asset.
