Awesome features

Bought this to run my Miller 211 welder, and it works like a champ, plus I use the remote on/off when working on the roof, so I don't have to run up and down a ladder, and I save fuel plus run time. I also like that the generator charges the battery while running.

Great features

We just bought a camper for what this generator will be used for. Love the remote start easy enough for my wife to use! This model will be strong enough for when the power goes out at home to keep us comfortable. the handles are Great to move it around. Priced right for all its functions.

Best generator ever!

I assembled the 9500 today- very easy and it came with oil and tools needed. After adding oil and gas it fired right up at the pus( of a button. It is quiet and is just what I need for weather related power failures. It is powerful and has a many coolness features for a fair price.

Worth the money

My husband really did his research on this generator, and we were not disappointed. We had to use it within a month of purchase, and we were able to run our fridge, deep freeze, a window unit, few fans, and charging a few phones and batteries for 11 hours on one tank. We are so happy we chose this generator, after a tree fell taking out our power lines and leaving us with our electricity for days. That push to start didn’t disappoint and easily started on the first push. This is the best purchase we have made in a long time.

Everything I expected and more!

After being disappointed with another brand of comparable size, I decided after reading 2 independant reviews of the top 5 and top 10 portable 12K generators to purchase the Westinghouse WGen9500 (which is 12K start up). The attention to detail was the first thing I noticed as I unboxed it. After attaching the wheels and base legs and putting the oil (which was supplied) in the crankcase, and 1 gallon of gas in tank, I pushed the electric start button. It took between 2-3 seconds to start and ran smoothly. The first thing I noticed was the quietness for this size generator. I have 2 smaller generators and it is quieter than either. The remote start feature is really nice. I went in the house which is 40 yds from my shop, hit the button and it started immediatley. Hooked a load to it and it performed flawlessly. I bought it for power back for my home but have not hooked it to transfer power and test it yet, since I have only had it a few days. It is also very easy to move and manuever with the big wheels and handle. I am very impressed and would recommend it to anyone who needs this size generator.

Whole House Generator

Purchased this generator to power my well pump, heat pump, deep freeze and other appliances in my house. It has met and exceeded all my expectations and powers everything I need it to. My family and I are now worry free anytime we lose our electricity.

Looks Very Capable

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.

Easy to assemble and very well built.

I purchased this generator in the event I loose power. I took in consideration that it had both electric/pull start capabilities. Also it had a 50 amp outlet. The generator started its first time right out of the box. I tested the generator loaded with an air compressor ,wall mounted AC, hot water heater and lights. The generator took care of the loads with no problems.

Perfect for Our Home, 2200 sq ft

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?

Great features and price

I did a lot of shopping online and found this to be the generator to be able to take of my family during an emergency. It offered more, at a better price point than others on the market. Had it running an hour after delivery, Loved the push button and key fob start, but also has emergency pull start if battery is not charged. I know I’ll be ready for any future emergencies
