Great Generator

Looking to upgrade from my old 5000W generator and with much research decided to go with Westinghouse WGen9500. Just arrived today 1/9/19, unboxed and set up in 45 minutes. Shipped from Amazon.com in perfect condition. Started 3 seconds after pushing the start button, runs quiet compared to my old generator and looks great. Ran my 5 HP air compressor off 120V outlet and generator ran smooth with no drag. Plan to wire into house transfer switch to supply power during outage. Great features, powerful, looks great and I'm sure will serve my needs. Very satisfied with this purchase !!

Love the remote start feature (key fob)

I bought the wgen9500c a few months back but I wanted to wait before I left a review. First it was very easy to put together, basically just the wheels , two rubber antivibe pieces with brackets (opposite wheels) and the battery connection. Oh and oil & gas of course. Took 20 min maybe. It’s very heavy so plan on that if you’ll need to move before you get the wheels on it. Anyway it fired right up and runs my whole house with a central AC. it has a plug that looks like a laptop plug and you use that to keep your battery fully charged. It’s like a trickled charger without all the mess. It also comes with a key fob and you hold the button and it’ll remotely start or stop the generator. It’s a good size generator for when the power goes out or Amy other reason you would need a lot of power. My only complaints it how loud it is, it’s nothing crazy but it just seems it could be quieter. It is a large motor so it’s expected and when the hurricanes came through and I had power guess what, that sound didn’t bother me or my neighbors one bit. Overall I’d recommend this Westinghouse wgem9500c. I’ve had it about 6 months and I’m happy with it. Used it for like 2 weeks straight so far.

Nice Generator

Comes with a few features others do not. Also three ways to start, which all worked flawlessly. Have not powered the house yet, but checked output and it was as advertised. Needed slightly more engine oil than provided, but only a minor inconvenience. Overall i'm happy with the purchase. We'll see how long term works out.

Exactly what I was looking for

I bought the WGen9500 10/30/19 and it was delivered today 11/4/19. Shipping was fast and easy straight to my garage. It arrived in great condition, no damage during shipping. It assembled with easy. This is not a light item and you need to tip generator over to attached the legs and wheels. Very sturdy and is made well. Can’t wait to run this puppy, but hopefully only need to run for fun things and not power outage.

Compact size with large capacity

Instructions and setup are easy and ready to run in 20 minutes. The battery came charged. And all the tools needed, including oil was included. I do note the gas gauge seems to show only 1/2 tank with 6 gallons added. I may need to check with help if gauge is faulty.

Great Experience!

I did a lot of research on portable home generators, many brands and capacities. I selected the Westinghouse 9500 with remote start for a number of reasons, the Westinghouse brand, number of years experience in home power generation and the reviews. I received it as expected, filled the oil, filled the gas, connected the battery terminals, pushed the remote start/stop and it started immediately. I am confident that this unit is going to serve me well the next time we loose power, well pump, heating, frig, lighting, etc.

WGen9500c review

Everything on this generator was easy to set up. All parts and instruction were clear and detailed. Minimal assembly required. Battery was fully charged and it started right away. Experienced no fluctuation in power when running lights and power tools. Great product.

It has the features I wanted!

I researched generators for several months before selecting the WGen9500 & I’m very happy with this generator. The packaging protected it during shipping - the product was defect-free. The directions for assembly were very clear. All parts were included and fit properly. After assembly & upon filling with oil & gas, I opened the gas line & pressed the remote. Since the factory charged the battery & already paired the remote with the generator, it started right up. Westinghouse has done a great job creating a product with the right features & making it easy for the customer to use. I’m ready for the next power outage.

Easy Start Up!

Because my husband is a Public Works Director he is always away on the flash floods, the snow, the wind and of course what comes with it the power outages. Finally I have something I can handle to keep the household going until the power comes back. This is an awesome product especially for those ladies who are stuck at home fending for themselves.

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.
