Started up on first try without choke. Happy my model has the 50amp plug in the middle away from the wheels so it's easy to connect. Had to return my first purchase of same unit since the serial number/model number factory plate was for another generator. That would have been hard to explain if I ever had a warranty claim. My second one is all ok. Will most likely put it to the test this winter.

I bought this generator after looking at several. It offers just what we need to run our home in the case of a power outage. It is a great option for the person that wants portable - important for us because it can move with us when the time comes.

The generator arrived boxed and palletized. Unboxing showed no damage and assembly of the wheels and feet was simple. I filled the oil and gas tanks, but when I tried to start it with the push button start nothing happened. After several tries I gave up and started it manually it ran fine. I let it run for about 20 minutes thinking the battery needed charging, but that did not happen. I checked the battery connections and re-read all the instructions, but to no avail. Then I checked the wires that were tucked up under the control panel and saw two male/female connection wires held together with a zip tie and saw that that was the issue. Once connected, the generator started as it should with the push button. It would have been nice if this necessary connection was mentioned in the start-up instructions.

We have a mobile detailing business and we outgrew our smaller Westinghouse Generator. When we needed something with more power we stepped up to the 9500 series because of our past experience with Westinghouse. No issues and runs like a champ all day long.

Just picked up the WGen9500c. Has a lot of nice features and was easy to set up. Shipping box was in terrible condition but generator appeared ok with only a couple of small bumps. Only issue is gas gauge does not appear to function I am hoping Westinghouse resolves what should be a minor issue quickly.

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.

1 unboxed the unit which was packed very well. Assembly was easy, gassed it up oil was added. I removed the spark plug and pulled the manual cord just toget things inside moving and lubed. Reinstalled spark plug, turned on fuel, set choke, moved switch to run. hit start button but the battery (which had cables attached at the factory) was not charged enough to turn unit over. 2 pulls on the manual cord and it fired right up. Very happy so far.

I brought this due to recent power outages. It has enough power to run my entire home which is what I wanted from a generator. It is loud (reason for 4 instead of 5 stars) similar to a lawn mower but I think that is the trade off to get the required power to run a home. Overall very happy it has a lot of options for powering things and the electric start is a great feature.

I purchased this should we have power go out and need some power for the house. Seems to be well built and starts easily. There are a lot of features with 9500 running watts in my unit. Everything has tested out fine and the item was shipped superbly. I purchased this brand because of the many positive reviews and solid name that Westinghouse has. I hope to get many many years of use out of this thing!

9500 watts was just right in order to power most of my needed household appliances during outages. unit was heavy, but is built well. no issues to date. wish it came with a 30 amp or 50 amp cord. cant beat the price point for the quality of what youre getting.
