Great looking generator

I bought this generator for up at the lake. We own a mobile home that plugs into the power grid using a 50 amp plug. So when we lose power we can just pull the plug from the local power and plug it into the generator. I plan to buy a larger unit for home use.

Bonus Gift

I am leaving a review of this product because they offer a bonus gift of a generator cover for the review. However, the Generator is really nice, has great quality, and was easy to assemble with 2 people. You basically need to put the wheels on it. It has a remote start option also and many outlets. I am very happy with it at this time.

WGEN9500C

Glad I purchased this Westinghouse generator. It's all about having an ease of mind if/when there's a power outage. I'm still in the break in period but this unit seems to be a quality build. The directions are easy to follow and it has a nice manual and even a wiring schematic

Farm Purchases

We are pleased with the quality of this unit. Very heavy, well constructed. Works like it should and powers our pump houses. They run electric pumps and don’t skip a beat. Remote start and shut down. Hour meter and multiple outlets to pick from. We use the 240 v. Can’t go wrong with this purchase

Overall Great generator and amazing details.

I bought this to be ready for anything. All the storms lately had been taking our power away. So we wanted to be prepared, especially to save our refrigerator. This machine did not disappoint. Its easy to roll around with the wheels and large handle. Love how easy it is to use.

I love all the great features of this generator.

I bought this as a gift for my husband that has difficulty using his hands and pulling starter cords. I researched and it had the highest reviews on so many sites. The best features are the push button start, remote start, all the plugins, and the power it has to run the whole house. My husband loves it!!!!

Little Mighty Power House

This generator is an absolute beast! We use it to power our RV, and it hasn’t let us down once. It easily runs the air conditioning, two hot plates, all the lights, and ceiling fan without a hiccup. Despite its size, it delivers big-time performance. One of the most impressive features is the fuel efficiency. On a full tank of gas, we get around 11 hours of continuous use. Thee only downside is that it’s loud, which is expected for any traditional generator. It's easy to start, and feels really solid and well-built. Definitely a great investment for anyone needing reliable portable power. Highly recommend it!

Perfect for our campground.

Picked it up on 7/3. Didn't need it for about two weeks later. Bought it for the 50A receptacle, but it also has the 30A twist lock, four 20A GFI receptacles, two USB ports and a Smart Switch receptacle. It has remote start or push button on the unit. You could pull start it too, but why? 6.6 gallon fuel tank. Ordering a cover for when it's running in inclement weather. Really pleased with our choice. Highly recommend this generator.

Perfect Setup and First Use

Bought a WGEN9500C last night during a storm-related power outage and am very happy with the generator so far. Setup and startup were both very straightforward, and the instructions were very clear. Remote start/stop is a nice feature too, especially since power came back on in the middle of the night. Rated 4 stars because I cannot comment on durability or longevity at this time.

Broken after a month

I bought this a month ago and it is already leaking oil badly... I try to buy the same brand generators for my company, but after this experience, I may be looking for a new brand.... the only thing that may save Westinghouse's reputation with me is how they handle the warranty on this thing. fingers crossed they help me out.
