Load size and price per watt matter more than other items. Out of the box, put together and running in less than 30 minutes. Started on the forth crank cycle, then on the first crank thereafter. The only issue was the negative battery lug was hitting the wheel, rotated it out of the way and it's just fine. It doesn't have the wattage load needed to carry the whole load of the house, but it'll do just fine to cover those needed items.

I bought this a month ago and I am so glad that I did. Just lived through the ravages of Hurricane Ida. Lost power about 10 hours after the wind started picking up and immediately cranked up the 9500 with the starter button. The set-up had been easy - they even included a quart of the proper oil, as well as a funnel to fill it up. Ran every thing I wanted with power to spare for 15 hours without a gas refill. Made the whole event livable. Only wished I had put aside more gas - the lines at the gas station were a pain and I could have poured any I did not use into my truck.

I bought it a month ago and it's already been part of our family. We have power issues in the area and the generator serves well for the purpose. The best feature I like is the remote started with the keyfobe. Works well and will recomend others who look for a portable generator!

Bought this a month ago to be better prepared for hurricane season. Did test run for 6 hrs and unit performance was excellent! Started right up and full power to my house. I highly recommend this generator to anyone wanting backup power or for use to run off grid. Thank you Westinghouse for a quality product. Sincerely a friend in Florida

I bought the 9500w generator and I’m not disappointed. Very easy to install the wheels and the handle is preinstalled. Added the oil which is included and after filling with gas, and connecting the battery, it fired right up with the push button ignition. Pairing of the key mod was explained in the directions and was fairly easy. Feels awesome knowing we’ll be with power and not have to go stand in line for ice with most of the other unfortunate ones when it’s lights out. Thank you Westinghouse for such a great pruduct.

I bought this a couple of months ago in order to prepare for the winter. I’ve only had to use it once but I love it especially the remote start capability and it’s got 50 amp plug instead of just a 30. Awesome purchase I just love it. Getting ready for spring storms which can bring power outages. But I am ready!

I bought this generator to upsize one I had previously bought. This one had so many great features that the one I previously purchased did not. Once arrived, it came with everything needed to get this generator up and running. Haven't been able to use it yet, but I am excited to see how it does and just how much it powers.

I did a lot of research on portable home generators, many brands and capacities. I selected the Westinghouse 9500 with remote start for a number of reasons, the Westinghouse brand, number of years experience in home power generation and the reviews. I received it as expected, filled the oil, filled the gas, connected the battery terminals, pushed the remote start/stop and it started immediately. I am confident that this unit is going to serve me well the next time we loose power, well pump, heating, frig, lighting, etc.

Purchased for back up power for residence. Started right up and runs well. About as noisy as expected for the size of the unit. Alot of great features such as remote control, large fuel tank, and status meter. One concern is the high THD rating. All in all happy with purchase.

I needed a high quality and dependable generator large enough to power most of my house in Florida during storm power outages so I reached for a trusted name in power, Westinghouse. I did not want to take a chance with my family's comfort and security during stressful times and have always found Westinghouse products well engineered and reliable. This 12.5kw peak and 9.5kw run generator is big on performance, features and value in a compact and relatively small package. I haven't had it that long but initial run-in tests have been flawless, I will have the electrician out in a week or so to install a transfer switch/interlock and feel comfortable knowing it is ready to rock when we need it.
