WGen 9500

I bought this based on the numerous 5 Star Reviews and was not disappointed. The generator started up on the second try and performed as expected. There was one small dent on one of the braces and the cap on the quart container of oil was not tight and leaked.

Poor quality construction, support to match

Motor stopped running after a few hours of use ( oil and gas are fine , thanks). Will not restart , and the “emergency recoil starter “ cord will not pull at all . Control panel lights indicate CO detected but the unit was running out doors with no obstructions. Support for this unit is very sub-par . Do NOT waste your money on the WGen9500.

Super easy to set up and start running

With the super freeze last year I decided to invest in a generator and after doing some research I settled on the Westinghouse WGen9500. The set up is super easy and believe anyone can do it. Just unbox, add front legs, 2 wheels, add oil, gas, connect the battery plug and start it. The generator does not sound too loud for its size either. Seems like a great purchase and good value for 9500k running unit.

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.

Well built generator

I just purchased this generator for my travel trailer. After much research I chose this unit due to features and reviews. The generator arrived on time in undamaged condition. Setup is easy and the generator started right up. I expect years of good service from this unit.

Great Portable Generator

I recently purchased this generator and it was very easy to assemble. All the tools needed are included. It took 5 minutes. I tested it out and the remote start made it a breeze to start. It has the power to run my house during a power outage. The gas tank provides 12 hours of service so it will run all night. We lose power pretty regularly and this is a much lower cost option vs a backup generator

Great value for the power

I bough this wgen9500 for its power. I have had it now for a month and has performed well. Lost power for 2 weeks and was able to keep my important appliance on even my gas furnace. No issues I like watching it start on its own no need for me to do anything. I had thought I would never need one but now I know it is important to have on I really love this generator. My family was safe and warm.

Reliable every start.

So far so good! After one year. This has been a reliable generator. Purchased for emergency power as a whole house power supply. Will power everything in a 1400 sq ft house including a 220v well pump without a problem, also not that noisy for it's power output. My only knock on this generator is it is very heavy, It will take two people to load into a pick up with a ramp.

Perfect generator

I bought this generator to replace one that I gave to my daughter. This generator comes with great features: push button electric start, fuel gage, smart switch outlet, data center to keep easy record of hours ran and maintenance timer, battery charging port to charge battery (came with generator), and CO sensor indicator. Perfect for my needs when we might lose power, which is always possible during the summer/fall as I live in an area known for hurricanes.

Excellent Product!!

First time portable gen owners. Very easy to use and lots of information out there to fall back on. Easy set up, runs quieter than expected. Solid construction. If you are newbies to the portable generator scene, you will not be disappointed with this one. Worth every penny!
