Great Generator

Recently purchased my new Westinghouse generator after my old one just wore out after twenty years. I waited several months until this model was back in stock and it was well worth the wait. The 9500 produces plenty of power and has many great features.

Ready for Hurricane Season

We purchased this generator after we had a transfer switch professionally installed. It will power the house, including our central AC, in the event of a prolonged power outage. Fingers crossed we will never need to use it, but knowing we have it in the garage ready to go gives great piece of mind.

Great generator with remote start

We bought this Generator because we knew that it's better to 'stay ready than having to get ready" in cast of power outage. I read the instructions and was able to operate the Generator. This generator ran our whole modest home!!! THIS WAS A EXCELLENT GENERATOR AND I RECOMMEND IT!

Easy to Assemble and Use

I bought this generator to replace an older pull start model. This generator was easy to assemble, and the directions were clear and easy to follow. The generator starts easily with the push start! It is quiet and the remote is a nice feature for turning off the generator when the power is restored. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this generator.

Great Generator / Arrived with dented frame

Unpacked the generator from the box, attached feet and wheels, put the included quart of oil in the crankcase, filled gas tank half full, plugged in the included battery, programmed the key fob, flipped the breakers on, turned gas shut-off to open, flipped on/off switch to on, pressed the start button... the generator started immediately!!! I pressed the on/off button and it shut right down. I pressed the start button on the key fob this time and again it started right up. I then pressed the stop button on the key fob and it shut right down again just like it should, I started the generator one more time with the start button on the generator and I let it run for 2 hours to seat the rings and then turned it of with the key fob and it shut right down again just as expected. Next morning I turned the start/stop switch to on and pressed the start button and again it started right up. I then turned off the gas shut off valve and let the generator run until it ran out of gas and stopped running... So far so good!!! Only complaint was that the generator arrived with a dent in the upper frame while causing no obvious damage to the gas tank or generator. More than likely it was damaged in shipping. Maybe a big deal to some folks but no other apparent damage and all parts appear solid and the generator functions perfectly. Good enough for me!

Has all the features I require and more

This my second WGen9500 after unfortunate problems with an earlier model. However all is forgiven and I am more than happy now and hope that it will power my house for years to come. It hs been installed and all have to do is use the change-over switch.

Nice generator

I just received the generator and it looks very nice and well built. I haven’t run it yet but when I do I will post another review. The only thing I do not like about it is the <23% THD which is very high and I am worried about running any of my electronics with it.

Great value for the power

I bough this wgen9500 for its power. I have had it now for a month and has performed well. Lost power for 2 weeks and was able to keep my important appliance on even my gas furnace. No issues I like watching it start on its own no need for me to do anything. I had thought I would never need one but now I know it is important to have on I really love this generator. My family was safe and warm.

Great Features Indeed!

I ordered this on the 17th of this month and it arrived before the ETA, good start. I unpackaged the generator, installed front support legs and the wheels. Added the supplied oil and double checked the level. added gas, connected the battery. Done! Energized the unit and hit the start button once and it fired right up! Tested with small load and it is good to go, I'm a very happy camper. :o)

Powerful and great features.

This generator has all the power I need to run the essentials of of my home. Set up was a easy snap. Directions are also easy to follow. Once you assemble the feet and wheels and fill with the provided oil you are ready to start. After a couple of tries it started right up. I let it run for about an hour before I put a load on it. Then gradually over the next two hours I increased the load. I am able to run lights, two TV's, furnace, two air handlers and well pump all at the same time. very impressed with the design and ease of use. A remote starter is a nice added feature. Now I'm ready for the next power outage.
