Amazing product

I am recently purchased this electric start generator and it has exceeded all my expectations! The electric start feature is incredibly convenient, making it super easy to get the generator running with just the push of a button. It's powerful enough to handle all my household needs during power outages and runs smoothly without any hiccups. The build quality is top-notch, and it's surprisingly quiet for such a powerful machine. Overall, this generator is a game-changer for anyone looking for reliable and hassle-free backup power. Highly recommend!

Overall impressed

Purchased this generator to power our new home electrical transfer switch in case power is lost. "No problem". Generator was more than capable of taking care of our needs. Was impressed with the ease of assembly, starting & powering everything needed for power outage. Great purchase!

Gas leak at gas shut off valve right out of the bo

I bought the 9500 last year but didn't test run until April 2023 because their has been no power outage and immediately noticed a gas leak when attempting to start for the first time, WH service advised its probably leaving for fuel open/shut valve. The next issue was WH product service providers in my area (4) would not accept WH warranty repairs unless I payed for repairs and let WH reimburse me, I refuse and relayed this to WH who advised ship it back to us for a replacement, this was done 4-24-23, The replacement (open box gen with 5 hours time) will be shipped to me when they receive the faulty gen, What a hassle but over all I believe the 9500 is a good product.

Fantastic

After a couple months of reviewing different portable generators. We made the call to purchase the Westinghouse brand due to features and cost. It was delivered and very easy unpacking.. It even came with the oil and all the tools to assemble. Hurricane season is here and I am very certain it will be able to handle an needs we can give it.

Nice

I bought this generator three weeks ago. Am in process of doing the break in process, very satisfied with generators start up and out put. Push button auto start very nice, push once and within 3 or 5 seconds motor turning over to start. Mid 30s temperature have not had to use choke to start.

Looking forward to using it

Just received the generator and have set it up which was very easy. Have not had to use the generator as power has been restored, but feel very confident in the product when that time comes. Has a ton more features on it than I originally though when buying it.

fantastic product

Purchased this to replace 2 smaller generators.Received and after unpacking followed factory set-up instructions,started right up, and purrs like a kitten.Its heavy,but as you go up in power so the weight increases,this is standard in generators.like the control panel,and the number of plugs.You will be happy if you purchase this generator.

Great power

I bout this generator because I was tired of cold showers when the power was out. It will power all the lights, fridges, tvs, computers, and allow me to use my well pump and hot water heater on at the same time. Sound is about normal of most generators. The electric start is where this thing shines!

This thing is awesome!

I’m seriously impressed with this generator. The overall build quality is excellent and the remote start? C’mon. So cool to have and actually really convenient. It has plenty of power to run everything in our house with proper use. The only unfortunate thing I have to say is mine came with some cosmetic damage. Not sure when it was done to it but it has some scratches and scuffs on it. I included a picture for reference. But overall I’m very pleased and would absolutely recommend this generator.

Plenty of power

After my family experienced the ice storm in Victoria, TX last year, I knew I had to do better. Having a wife and three young children, I felt helpless with no water well pump, internet, septic, plugs, switches, or any type of cooking appliances available. My brother and I installed a 30A transfer plug to my panel recently. After days of researching, I decided on this generator because of all the reviews stating to buy bigger than what is needed, for a buffer. I am glad I have that comfort zone. I received it today, assembled it in 10 mins, filled with oil and gas, and pushed the start button, it started right away. I let it run for about an hour and stopped it with key fob. So far so good, very satisfied so far. I will update.
