Superb Product

Just purchased the WGen9500 and wow. It is a beast of a machine and runs beautifully. For a larger generator it is pretty quite. The remote start is a great feature. More standing in the rain to start the genny. Overall I am extremely impressed with the quality.

Perfect size generator for my home.

Just delivered yesterday and I unboxed it today. I have been looking to upgrade to a bigger generator as my needs have changed in my new home. We moved from the hustle and bustle of central Florida to a home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where power outages can be common certain times of the year and when it goes out the average restoration time is 6to 8 hours average. Our other generator wattage was only 5500 peak watts which was adequate for central Florida home with city water and gas appliances. But our new home is all electric with a well pump which the load is higher. I don’t expect it to run the complete home but it will be more than enough to run the necessities to make out power outages a little more easier. With 3 refrigerators , 2 freezers , lights fans and a well pump I was at my limit with 5500 watts. I haven’t used the new Westinghouse Generator yet but I know it is only a matter of time. The day we purchased this we had two outages with in one week totaling 14 hours.

Portable Generator Wgen9500c

Pretty impressed with quality and features for the price. Love the remote start and the fact it comes with a battery and a tender.have not really given a power load to make it work but works like it should. Giving it 4 stars because was not enough oil to get above the low line. And the fact that I already bought a cover and one was not included but have to right a review to receive one. Yet here I am haha.

Impressive build!

I purchased this generator after a recent extended power outage. After thorough research I decided on this Westinghouse WGen9500 model. Although I have yet to use it other than a test run, it has a very impressive look and build to it. Started right up after adding oil and gas. Impressive features as well, including the 50A outlet. Although I don't hope for a power outage, I am very excited to know I am covered next time.

Plenty of power for my home

I purchased this unit recently and was very pleased with the quality of the product. It seems to be built well. I was concerned that it might be too heavy for me to move but the fold down handle gives enough leverage to make moving it easy. I am replacing a smaller unit that wasn't quite large enough for my home when the power goes out. This unit provides more than I need.

Fired right up

Couldn’t be happier! Delivery was a day early. Set up was easy. Everything needed to get this beast running is included except, of course gasoline. Feet and wheels went on easily. Fluids are drained before shipping and pulling the handle upward and gently setting it on its side was smooth. Note – this is a heavy piece of equipment so be careful with it and yourself – feet, hands, etc. I put the gas in and followed the instructions for manual start from cold. It started on the second pull! The battery comes disconnected so there was enough life for push button start and remote start. Both worked as expected and without issue. I haven’t had to put it to operational use yet but I’m sure this monster will keep us powered when the need arises.

So far I am Impressed

I bought this a week ago. Removed it from the box with no damage or issues. Easy instructions for set up. Once everything was completed I plugged everything in and gassed it up. Easy push button start up. It cranked up with no issues. Running and sounding good. Cant wait to hook it up to my house for backup power.

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).

Awesome generator

This generator is Awesome! It came with everything needed for start up. Hooked up battery and the generator started after a 1 second push on the electric start the first time. This generator will be used to temporarily power my house during a power outage. It powers almost my entire house without issue. My only gripe is the generator is heavy and although on wheels and I am able to move it without a problem it would be too hard for my wife to move it if she ever needed to.

Excellent Quality Generator

Pleased with this generator - started right up out of the box, no problems. Very little to put together/connect. Tons of features, remote start is a fantastic feature for cold nights! Not looking forward to snow storms or hurricanes, however, feel prepared and confident with Westinghouse quality.
