Just what I was looking for

I bought this generator 2 weeks ago, very nice unit. I have experienced power outages from hurricanes before but this year was the first power loss from a winter storm. Almost froze. Not gonna happen again with this generator. Also have bought a portable a/c and heater combo unit so it will run off the generator and not have to depend on the central unit.

More than my money’s worth!

I have been reading reviews and researching generators for over a year now. I narrowed my search down to what I would realistically need. The Westinghouse Wgen9500 and wgen9500df were in our top three. The third was a Honda. It came down to value, features, ease of use and service after the sale. I tested engine speed which should be (60 hertz) it was actually 59.9 which is within range. Sine wave output measured at 49 which is perfect meaning the peaks and valleys of the waveform are equal. I did not find the same on some of the other brands. This will be connected to our meter allowing us to power the crucial circuits within our home during an outage. Features we love: Remote start, Push to start, and recoil cord as the back up! 4 GFCI 20A 120v outlets (most comparable units came with only 2) Wide mouth filler neck for refueling (minimize spills) Oversized solid wheels that make it easy to roll over rocks and debris easily. Battery, tow handle and wheel kit included (some charge extra $$$) More wattage for your dollar. Buy with confidence!

The simplicity is refreshing

Recently purchased this after going through the hurricane that hit Western North Carolina. The packaging was great and the ease of minimum assemblage required was a welcome relief. Just in the testing mode currently and hopefully never need this for another emergency situation but am confident this product will perform excellently

Powerful with many features

Very happy with this generator. 10 minutes to assemble, including filling the supplied oil. Well written instructions, along with parts diagram and wiring schematic. Not a big deal, but the supplied oil funnel should have a larger mouth and much larger exit, to prevent spilling.

Generator just arrived.

My generator just arrived. Everything is well packaged. Generator is a good value compared to competitors. Decided to buy this generator when our house was without power for five days. We lost more in food than what this generator cost. Next time we'll save our food and get to take showers!

Great value

Used this unit for about 10 hours under moderate to heavy load on a mobile food trailer and it held up very well so far. Consistent power to my 240v/50amp system which operates multiple heavy load appliances including an electric smoker (1800 watts) and (2) steam tables (1200 watts each). The price and features including electric start have impressed me.

Great Product

I purchased this machine a month ago to power my welders and plasma cutter. I started on a fence project the day I received it and noticed right off that bat that it does not skip a beat nor does it have any issues that other generators had. Great Product I highly recommend it and you can not beat the price.

Excellent Quality great price!

I’ve been a big fan of Westinghouse equipment and they haven’t let me down so far. I bought this Westinghouse generator and it is fantastic! Super powerful and a great price. Absolutely love the features like the electric push start and even remote start when we lose the power for 6 days like just happened. Can start it from inside the house. 6 gallons of fuel lasts 12 hours! Amazing, super happy!

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.
