Bought this due to 3 lengthy blackouts and decided I'm too pampered to deal with no septic, water, A/C, edible food. This should power up whatever I need easily. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but strangely looking forward to it. Will review again after next outage.

Bought this in preparation for the hurricane season. It powers the whole house (less AC unit) via my installed back feed thru the main electrical panel. However, I drove over the generator’s wheel and need to replace it. Any suggestions on where to find one?

Aside from having to put on the wheels, adding oil and hooking up the battery, the generator was ready for use. Started up on the first try, powered a clock that I was using to test it and I have run it now for about an hour with no problem. A great product.

The power company in rural areas of San Diego Country turns off the power, sometimes for days, during the hottest days of year, for fire prevention. I need sufficient power to run the A/C and the microwave, water heater etc. during those days. The remote start feature works great and the peak inrush current starts the a/c effectively. I particularly like the inclusion of a plug in battery charger to keep the battery fresh during the storage phase. The wheels make it easy to move and the folding handle is a convenient single piece design. Because of its compact size I store in the corner of the garage right next to the power panel. The high power output plug is an easy to get type (typical dryer plug) unlike the myriad of different twist and lock plus out there. I did quite a bit of research before selecting this model. Please give it your thoughtful consideration too.

This is our second time purchasing this generator. --Our first one was stolen from us :( But overall, this generator does not give any issues, just normal wear/ maintenance needed the more you use it. If you have equipment that requires a lot of power this is the generator for you. We borrowed our friend's Predator 9500 Inverter and although it was silent, it was not strong enough for our needs. For the price of this generator it is very reasonable. As long as you take care of the generator, it will take care of you.

I bought the 9500c generator over a month ago. It was pretty simple to get it started. Even had my wife use the remote start inside while I placed the generator at the the beginning of our driveway (over 200 feet). It started like a champ. Got to use it during Hurricane Idalia for about 1 1/2 days for our Fridge, freezer, wife’s lift chair, C-PAP, and a fan. It was good to have it in a time of need.

Sold a 20 year old 4500 watt… The WGEN9500 seems as quiet, with a bigger tank and the same ease of starting. Test was a 1/2 hp compressor for 60 mins. The old gen would gun up when the compressor kicked on - the 9500 does not even notice. If you have an older generator.. now is the time to upgrade. I am not much of a prepper.. but let’s face it, if you can cover a day or two outage with a generator you will save your fridge, your hotel costs and - like this February maybe keep your pipes from freezing. That is why i doubled my old capability. These outages are getting a lot worse….

This gen set was delivered today. Put the wheels and front feet on it by laying unit on its side as directions recommwended. Heavy but manageable for an old guy like me. Add oil, hooked up propane tank and started it up. Voltage report center says its putting out 244volts. Will try out the transfer socket to the house tomorrow.

GoodbyeWe bought our generator a few weeks ago we haven’t had to use it because we only had a power outage for only an hour but so far we like it it’s easy to move around it’s easy to follow instructions it looks kind of cool with all the little gadgets and outlets on it it’s our first generator and we hope it serves it’s purpose for years to come

The quality and performance of our Westinghouse iGen4500 during hurricane Beryl greatly influence our decision to upgrade to the WGen9500c. We live in the greater Houston area, and we were without power for more than 5 days. The iGen4500 kept our refrigerator and freezer running flawlessly. We are confident that for the next major storm, we will be better prepared with the WGen9500c as our primary emergency power backup. The new generator arrived in pristine shape and was very easy to assemble for service.
