Great start up

Was delivered a week ago, just put it together today. Went together really easy, started right up. Our electrician will be here next week to do the wiring. After living through category 5 Michael I will never go through another one with out a power generator. I’m hoping this unit will run most of our house. The electric start will be great for my 82 year old mother in case I’m not home and we loose power.

Great Generator

I just bought this WGen 9500 and as soon as it came out of the box you could see the quality. It was very well put together and even cam with an angled funnel for making adding the engine oil a snap. Everything works great and has the correct output for voltage. I am definitely ready for the next power outage in my area. Thanks Westinghouse!!

New Generator

Upon receipt I tried to get the generator running. The battery doesn't charge, so the electric start and the remote start do not work. I tried to get assistance but have not heard back from Westinghouse. I can manually start the unit, and it runs well. It is relatively quiet and can be moved pretty easily, with the fold up handle extension. I haven't needed it yet, but I believe it will do what I need. Now, if I could only get some customer support!

Top Notch

This generator came packaged nicely with very minimal assembly required. Extensive instructions help with all aspects of use storage and maintenance, as well as warranty. This generator packs a lot of power into a compact package and the flexibility to start it with a push of a button or by pulling the cord is nice option. I have not needed to run it yet besides just warming it up and getting the fluids moving but I'm sure it will work when I need it to. I use this as back up power in case of a prolonged electrical outage. My transfer switch was installed by an electrician who assured me that the generator would easily be enough for my 6 selected breakers ( water heater, pump, coal stove, fridge, wifi, etc). Living far away from town having this gives me peace of mind that my property wont suffer from frozen pipes or ruined groceries due to loss of power.

WGen9500

I purchased this generator to use for various functions, including backup power during power outages. The documentation was well written, and the instructions were clear. I had this generator up and running in just a few minutes.. the battery start works perfect. The noise level is relatively quiet for a generator this size compared to my last one and it provides more than enough power for any use. Overall. the combination of features, power, and ease of use make it a great generator for anyone. I am extremely happy with this generator.

vs the competition

I've spent almost a year comparing the different manufactures that are similar to this generators size. After many hours online researching and videos online, the Westinghouse generator is the only brand I will trust for the safety and well being of my family when our power goes out. I work for a utility company and I'm not home when the lights go out, so having a generator I can prep and have ready for my wife and kids is my top priority. The remote start is fantastic and works without hesitation and the fact that this generator is transfer switch ready means I don't have power cords running all of the place where my 4 year old and 1 year old are at risk of injury. I'm even going to get one for my father to replace his 20 year old generator because I'm so impressed with my unit.

Terrific

Bought as a backup generator about 3 months ago and have had several occasions to use it so far including one outage that lasted several days. It was quick to set up and get running and has been very reliable so far. The power output is excellent, we run a 2200sqft house on it including 2 refrigerators and 2 freezers. The electric start is a nice feature, it makes it much easier for my wife or daughter to get it going if I’m not home when power goes out.

Westinghouse WGen9500c

Just got this generator for hurricane season. We have unboxed and inspected it. The generator is solidly built and included everything that was promised. We have not turned it on yet but I don't believe we will have any issues. I'll update my review if I encounter any problems.

Fantastic Whole-House Generator

I bought this generator to help power my entire home whenever we lose power. It has enough power to run the entire house (minus the heat pumps). This generator looks fantastic right out of the box and you can tell it was constructed with care and quality checked at multiple points. After following the instructions to get it oiled and fueled up, it remote started on the first try without issue. I have run it for a few hours powering different equipment without issue. It stops and starts effortlessly. I have extremely satisfied with my purchase and know that I will be ready for the next power outage!
