Great so far

Received the generator yesterday. Unboxed and found all of the parts and pieces were there. Clear instructions made the wheel and post installation easy. Oil and a small, custom funnel made filling clean and fast. The unit started on the first try. Tried starting with both button and remote. No problems. Have not yet tried the pull start. Wiring into the house still to come.

Good Looking, very well designed, heavy duty assem

I just purchased this Generator, I am so delighted to have such a heavy duty devise to keep our home safe from power loss, this generator is much quieter than my previous one, over 1/2 less noise. I love the ease of starting using our fob switch and the auto use of a starting our generator. I couldn't be happier. OH, the price of this generator and the quality of this machine is fantastic.

Awesome Generator

This generator looks pretty sweet. Only reason I didn’t put 5 stars is that I haven’t actually had my house hooked up to it yet and ran the house. Happy I came off the money to get it. It should do most in my house minus the A/C of course but that’s ok I can always get a window unit or stand alone if need be. It starts right up and runs good haven’t really had to put it heavy use yet but I’ve ran it several times for a while just for break in I guess. I’ve read people saying it’s loud but honestly I haven’t been around a generator that wasn’t loud, unless an inverter gen. I wouldn’t say it’s loud because it’s like every other generator I’ve been around but this one puts out more so I think that’s good. Wish we had a place that sold them because ordering from Amazon can always be iffy because the package was in terrible shape when it finally arrived to the house. Hopefully it’s a long lasting generator!

Everything I wanted and a great price, too!

I purchased this generator WGen9500 to power my house during blackouts and hurricanes, by connecting through a power switch into my main circuit breaker. We ordered it on 1-9-23 and received it on 1-12-23. We picked it up today and found the assembly quite easy. Just take it out of the box, add the wheels, oil and gas. It fired right up, ran beautifully and we could carry on a conversation standing right next to it while running. Love the remote start feature! I would definitely recommend this generator!

Nice size and good wattage.

This unit was very easy to assemble - add wheels and legs and you are good to go. I found the instructions easy to follow, with clear guidelines on what you should and should not do. It started the first time using the electric start in under 3 seconds. At 9500 running watts, I can power a good portion of my house via a transfer switch (not yet installed).

Great features!

Just got it and very excited to use it and see how much of my house it will run since we have all electrical appliances. Very nice out of the box, easy to assemble and very nice looking. Remote, push button start and 50 amp capability are my favorite features. I have no doubt it is going to be a great addition to our back up power system.

Simple startup and run

On the second of July we bought this generator. It was delivered ten days later to our door. We are waiting for the electrician to do his work to provide power to the house, but the start up of the generator was so easy I couldn't wait to give a review. The documentation provided with the generator was so simple. The steps had us gas it up, add oil, make the battery connections, flip the switches and push a button and the generator sprang to life. We shut it off and then used the remote, again instant response. Now everything could go wrong later and I will be back to say if that is so however the most critical part of my non-mechanical fears are resolved. It was so easy.

Quick and easy start

Bought couple months ago as a lesson in how to survive a hurricane! We’ve used sparingly but have had great experience. Quick start, easy directions and awesome lower pitch sound than most items of this size. Pretty sure it’s going to give us great service!

Drives like a caddy!

Absolutely love this thing! It looks great, easy to set up even though the instructions are out of date, and can power 6 breakers in my home just fine. I cant believe these generators have a remote start Fob! Westinghouse best in the business doing it right! Worth every penny spent!

I love this generator!

I got this generator around April 2020, and love it. We got it to use for the normal summer power outage we usualy have during the heavy thunderstorms we get. Haven't had to hook it to the house yet, but we have used it camping and it works great. This generator has powered everything we've hooked to it without any problems. After assembly, filling with the included bottle of oil, and gas (not included of course), I used the recoil starter (pull cord) first to see how many pulls it would take to get started. To my surprise this thing fired up on the first pull. I didn't think the gas had enough time to fill the carb when it fired! The electric start worked just as good. The remote was easy to program and works well. I only have two, very minor, inconveniences to mention to ensure this is an complete and accurate review. Neither of which would prevent me from purchasing this generator, or any other Westinghouse product, in the future. The first is the oil capacity. 1.1 L/1.16 qt. This capacity leaves you with almost, but not quite, a quart of oil floating around until you need to change the oil again. I wouldn't be against buying a 1.1 L bottle of oil from Westinghouse if it was available. I might even pay a little extra for the added convenience of not having an open oil bottle to keep track of for a couple of months - just a thought. The other is that the open end wrench in the tool kit (I was surprised that it had a tool kit, so this is definitely NOT a complaint) doesn't fit the oil drain plug on the engine. Neither of these would prevent me from buying this generator over again, or any other product from Westinghouse in the future. Overall, I LOVE this generator!!!
