WGen9500 portable generator

Having a back up generator is a must, especially if you live in an area where the power company may shut off power incase of wild fires. As I was looking for a generator, the Westinghouse Wgen9500 portable generator peaked my intestest. It had plenty of great reviews online and it’s very simple to use. After I purchased mine, I had to install the wheels and mounting stand. Add oil and gasoline. Then I fired it up! I tested it out by running an industrial 24 inch fan, a 10,000 BTU portable AC and a 5,000 Lumin flood light. All of the items were plugged in and ran flawlessly. The generator had no issue running. I would say that the generator does get quite loud, however if the whole block is out, I’m sure your neighbors would be doing the same by running their generators. The generator itself is very nice looking, and is fairly a good size that can be stored in a shed or inside of a garage without taking too much space. Overall, I have no complaints so far. This generator even has a push to start and wireless remote start. This review is coming from someone who has never owned or dealt with any other portable gas generators.

Great right out of the box

Shipping was less than one week. Unboxed the generator, filled with oil, filled with gas, and hooked up the battery fired up with no issues whatsoever. Runs great I am very pleased. I will update my review as I use the generator. My serial number tag however it was obscured from shipping. It was scuffed and could not read the entire number.

Fantastic product!

I haven’t had to use this in a power outage yet but we did do a test and I am confident this generator will be reliable and perfect for my families needs. The set up was so easy and It started up perfectly and powered everything we needed. The generator was much quieter than our old generator and the remote control is wonderful. I’m not wishing for a power outage but when one happens I’m more confident freezers will stay frozen and we will be comfortable

Excited about this generator!

Just got it, added oil and gas and it fired right up on the first try. Tried the remote and it worked great as well. Getting generator plug installed in a few days and I will be ready for the next power outage. Really confident this generator will be everything I need.

Just got it and it runs great.

We just bought this in case we have another power loss. It hasn't happened yet but the generator starts great and we are running it every few weeks to keep it from seizing up. Hope we don't get hit again with another hurricane but if we do we are prepared.

Best Bang for the Buck!

After reading several online reviews by someone other than the seller or manufacturer, I ended up purchasing this Westinghouse 9500 Generator. The price point was great, very easy assembly out of the box, great features and with a name like Westinghouse, it was a no brainer.

What I was looking for!

Received the generator about 3 weeks ago. Finally got the pigtail to connect to the transfer switch on Saturday. Finally got it connected today after some problems which were mine and not the generators. The big test was when we tried to see if it would run our well pump which it did. Love the fact that this generator is rated at continuous power output rather than surge output! Would I recommend it to a friend, absolutely, already have

Great generator

I bought this generator after seeing other good reviews and I'm glad I did. With a little assembly and charging of the battery, it started up with no problem. We had a wind storm that knocked out our power, so we hooked up our cords and the remote started up great. It has plenty of power to run everything we needed. Not too noisy either.

Arrived ready to go

I did a lot of research before buying and this WGen9500 seemed to be the least expensive of the competition that I considered. All parts arrived, very simple to assemble and it started on the first try. I really like the remote start fob, the data screen, and the fact that it has an oil level monitor. I've never seen a generator shipped with its own battery charger but that was yet another thoughtful touch. I' m ready for winter now!

WGen9500c

Excellently received in box on a crate, opened and all parts present. Followed simple instructions for assembly and first time run operation. Everything worked as it should and is now stored nicely in my garage awaiting its first real call to action.
