Great Features

I bought the generator a month ago to have piece of mind in case of an outage. The generator covers all my necessities (fridge, furnaces, wifi, lights, outlets, water heater, sump pump, garage doors, etc), has great features like remote start, was easy to assemble and easy to start on the first attempt.

Really nice, compact unit.

My Westinghouse generator model WGen9500c arrived today. The generator was well packaged on a wooden pallet. Easy to unbox, easy instructions on how to apply the wheels and the front supports. And a nice package of basic tools for the spark plug and stuff. Even came with a quart of oil. Battery charger is included. And we let that run for about six hours before we tried to start. The generator started up the very first push of the button. All in all, it looks like a nice setup.

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.

Great Features!!!

I bought this to use when the electricity goes out in my household. A few days ago, my house went out of power for the whole day from a tree falling on the power line, luckily I had purchased this generator and I managed to turn my whole house's power back on. It was like there was no outage and my family was able to be very comfortable thanks to the generator. It's very useful and makes a person feel reassured that they can still get power during an outage. Amazing and useful poduct. No regret purchasing it!!

Nice compact powerful unit.

I bought this unit as a back up power source for my home. It comes with all the bells and whistles you would need. The assembly and operation manuals are easy to read and understand. Assembly only consists of putting on the wheels and 2 feet. The unit is a little heavy but easy enough to move around. The 3 starting options are nice. It has a remote start FOB, pull chord and electronic push button. All and all, a nice unit.

WGen9500

I bought this a month and 1/2 ago because of the power it can provide us in running extra items it can run during power outages. We're in CA. and in a designated power shut down are due to high winds and general fire danger. The blackouts are projected to run up to five days. We feel more secure with the power backup.

Tri Fuel Portable Generator

I bought the Unit a few months ago for upcoming Hurricane season down South. I am happy to have 3 options to operate the Generator, which I have access to use all 3 methods. I am able to start the Generator with a remote device. The generator is easy to roll to my outside location near my gas hookup. It is easy to hookup to my propane bottles also.

Easy to set up and use.

Just received this, and easily installed wheels and feet. Added oil and a little gas and it started on the first try. I had tried a duel fuel model, but was not happy with it. It does weigh a little over 200 lbs, but easy to move with the wheels. I should not say that I can't wait for the power to go out to give it a work out, but I am positive that I will be protected with this unit.

Solid Generator

I reviewed many generators prior to finally purchasing a Westinghouse WGen9500 generator. The generator had many of the features I was looking for and it has delivered those and more. It is a very solid machine and has met my expectations so far. I haven't put it to a long term test, but I believe it will perform for my needs. When I have more hours on the generator, I will try to post a review on performance at a later date. It's rather heavy, but the fold down handle makes it easy to maneuver and the panel controls are laid out well.

Recieved in excellent condition

Bought the generator last month and it arrived as scheduled and was in perfect condition. Easy to assemble the few parts. Read through the excellent manual and it fired up on the first push of the starter. Everything works perfectly. It seems to be a high quality machine. I would heartily recomment it.
