Just What I Needed

I have yet to hook it up but bought this hoping that it would be able to run my house during frequent power outages, needed it to power the AC, Fridge, Internet and Garage. Upon talking to my Electrician he said that it will be more than ample. Super stoked to get the hookup installed!

Great generator for the money

I bought this generator after loosing power for multiple days at my new house which has a well pump. I can live without many creature comforts but not having the ability to have running water was terrible. The past reviews of this generator was fantastic and so far, the reviews prove true.

Love all of the power voltage options

I purchased this as a portable backup generator for our home. Assembly was very easy and straight forward. I filled with the supplied oil, connected the supplied battery, put gasoline in the fuel tank, opened the fuel cock valve, put the choke into choke mode, hit the start button and the engine started up very quickly. The choke automatically goes into run mode. Hooked the generator to some electrical tools and everything ran flawlessly. Very happy with this generator and my purchase!

Great buy for the power output and price !

This was a great buy for me considering the price.. I would have preferred the dual fuel model, but they were out of stock at the time of purchase.. After the last 2 day blackout, I decided that being prepared is very necessary.. This should run everything in my home and then some....

Best price for the KWHs

I like this generator because it comes with everything to run the generator, including wheels and spark plug wrenches, and even funnels. I first considered buying a cheaper one at a cheap tool shop, but even after the other generator's discount this Westing House one seemed cost-effectively better because I would have to buy a wheel kit and battery separately if I had bought the cheaper one. That is, it wasn't actually cheaper. Plus, the WGEN9500 comes with several wonderful features, including the remote starting functionality. One thing, the remote starter key fob was tied to the pull cord (for manual starting) when it was delivered. I couldn't find it at first because I thought I would find it in the manual packet or the accessary box. When you assemble the wheels and feet, see the attached pictures. It would be easier if you open the box from the bottom and attach one wheel and the 2 feet first. Then, stick in some pieces of lumber under the generator. This will help support the generator while you attach the other wheel without leaving scratches on the frame.

Great Generator, easy prep and setup.

I bought this generator to be our backup power in case of power failure. Our electrician installed the transfer switch and recommended Westinghouse. It was delivered right to our garage and the setup was VERY simple and straightforward. We were testing it in a matter of minutes and it fired up immediately. Ran smoothly and includes a remote FOB. We checked that it did generate power via the standard 120V outlet and the 30A connector.

Great Features WGEN9500c

I did a lot of research and found that this generator had all the features I needed and the ability to run different appliances. We just received it today, and I am waiting for my electric company to install a Generlink switch so once it is running, I will submit another review.

Value for the money!

Received this 2 nights ago. Set it up yesterday, very easy process. Once oil and fuel added, pushed the start button and within a couple of seconds it was running smoothly. Did have a dent in frame, probably happened during shipping. Box was not in good condition. Does not effect operation, but is disappointing to have received it this way.

Ran the whole house

Bought this when we moved into our new house in a remote location because I was concerned about losing power from storms. My hope was to just run the essentials since we already had a while home switchover but man surprised. We were able to run the ac, 2 fridges, a stand up freezer, two sumps, the well pump, septic pump, range, and numerous lights all at once. Couldn't be happier. Set up was easy, did it at 12am with no power since I had been too lazy to setup the generator in advance.

Easy To Use

My husband and I got this after a recent snow storm left us without power for over 24hrs. Although we haven’t had a need for it since, we were surprised at how easy it was to get running and hooked up to the necessities; ie. fridge, microwave, and some lights. Definitely glad to have this as a new addition to our home.
