Can't beat the price for the size

So far very happy. Bought and broke in to Westinghouse recommendations via HDdotcom also got a great deal from them. I'd give 4-1/2stars if i could as my concerns thus far are minor. I don't like the location of the ground terminal under the 50amp receptacle it protrudes a little for my 90degree plug but it's still fine. My other concern is that I just don't like the wheels being attached by a cotter pin. When full of gas and rolling the wheels are angled just doesn't seem strong to last a long time. All in all does what its supposed to do so far so I would recommend

Easy to Assemble and Operate

The generator was easy to put together without need for additional tools. It is surprising easy to move around despite its weight. The push start remote makes the generator very easy to start. I was also surprised by how quiet (for a generator!) it is when on. No longer dreading the next big storm!

WGen 9500

I bought this based on the numerous 5 Star Reviews and was not disappointed. The generator started up on the second try and performed as expected. There was one small dent on one of the braces and the cap on the quart container of oil was not tight and leaked.

Well built generator

I just purchased this generator for my travel trailer. After much research I chose this unit due to features and reviews. The generator arrived on time in undamaged condition. Setup is easy and the generator started right up. I expect years of good service from this unit.

Just like my smaller Westinghouse generator.

Very easy to assemble wheels and rear feet. Started up as soon as I put in oil and gas. If this is as good as the smaller westinghouse generator I have been using for years I will be very happy with this purchase. If anyone asks me for a recommendation I would reccomend Westinhouse

quality product

This is our first generator. It seems to be very well made, sturdy and good quality materials. The instruction manual was clear and easy to follow for our first start up. The electrical work necessary to connect the generator to the house was accomplished in only 2 hours. Our first start up was like magic. Using the remote starter the unit started right up and it was actually quieter than I thought it would be. Although I am not looking forward to having a power outage, living in the northeast we will certain have an opportunity to use it this winter. I feel confident that it will serve us reliably during the long New England winters.

Peace of mind! Easy to use!

The WGen9500 is awesome! It is easy to use. I love the electric start. It gives our family peace of mind that we have it as backup power for our home when the storms and power outages occur. I investigated a lot of backup power generators and picked this one as my number one choice.

Awesome

We did a lot research before buying this generator. We love the ease of the push to start as well as the remote start. We were afraid it would be difficult to use but it couldn’t be easier. This generator is extremely well built and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase.

Love the Remote

Bought as a backup generator for my house and honestly hope I never have to use it for that. Easy to assemble, easy to operate (so easy that my 5 y/o started it first time out of the box), looks nice, and seems to be rugged. Purchased this one because it had an almost 5 star rating with over 13000 reviews.
