Generator

Received the generator when scheduled. My husband put on the wheels, added oil and gas. Started right up. Then we used the key fob to start it. Worked like a charm. Bought it to use for emergency home power outages. We just got it so time will tell. So far so good. That's the only reason I can't give it 5 stars.

Nice Unit

I did this process in May but I'm glad I'm redoing it now. First time I gave an incorrect serial number, I hope all is good now. I really like the unit and the features it offers. The unit seems to be well designed and I also like the db level. I actually put this unit together for my neighbor and ended up purchasing it for myself.

Quality and affordability in 1 compelling package

Given the overall great reviews everywhere online, the price and features, I decided to purchase this generator and can safely say that it is the best bang for the buck. However, I am surprised to say that this generator is as well, if not better built than other brands priced higher. Totally worth the price!

So far, so good!

We bought this generator as an emergency backup for the after an ice storm left us without electricity for 12 days. Don’t get me wrong, I love the outdoors and roughing it, but that Little House on the Prairie nonsense gets old after a few days and I am not Pa Ingalls. We’re on a well, and I’ve got it figured that this generator will put out enough juice when the time comes to keep the water flowing and keep a light on outside so as prevent that nosy, brat Nellie Oleson from snooping around where she doesn’t belong. In any case, we haven’t had cause to use it yet other than to break it in and in a way I hope it remains that way. God bless and keep on trucking.

GREAT FOR THE PRICE

Very easy to assemble, just two leg supports and two wheels. Tools for assembly and light maintenance supplied. Oil and funnel supplied also. Everything you need to set up to run. Very good quality overall. Remote start fob. Good instructions. I am preforming the break in period by powering my clothes dryer. No problems at all. The only thing that kept me from a 5 star rating, is that it seems a little loud. I do intend to put a small shelter around it to protect it from the elements and this will probably mitigate the noise level.

Westinghouse Gen9500 Generator

I purchased the Westinghouse 9500 Generator recently and was very pleased with the generator. After unboxing & performing the before startup procedures it started up with hardly any cranking. This unit is much easier to use than the prior unit I had. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to purchase a top of the line Generator!

All the power I need and more

Shipped straight to home and arrived in excellent condition. Starting is unbelievably easy with the remote control. It delivers all the power I need and more. I can run my well, HVAC, sewage lift station and pretty much my whole house. Awesome documentation including a very thorough user manual and maintenance log. Westinghouse is a brand that has a proven reliability record and this will give me peace of mind for many years.

Easy start up right out of the box!

Was at work when power went out. My Wife was able to pull this out of the box and attach the bumpers and feet easily. Oil came with it (took the whole thing). Just make sure you turn the fuel valve to on position. The instructions were very detailed which was great. Made for an easy experience. I'm hoping that this thing last a long time.

Fantastic power solution

Bought this for residential use. Has features with remote start, enough power for nearly everything in our home without having to pick and choose what’s got a power back up. Sturdy construction with easy movement with big wheels that even this older female could move.

Very intuitive

I bought this generator a couple of weeks ago, and just received it yesterday. It was packaged very well so nothing could move during shipping. It came to me in perfect condition and looked just as advertised. It has all the features I was looking for to keep my whole house running in our next power outage. In South Texas, it can be a regular occurrence during the Spring and throughout the Summer. I purchased a Tri fuel generator so that I can hook up to my natural gas line and never have to worry about it running out of fuel if I need it running for an extended period of time. I did a test run today hooking up to my LP tank and it ran perfectly, providing power to all my appliances, TV, and even my A/C unit when I switched it on. Couldn't ask for anything better for peace of mind during future power outages. I would highly recommend this Westinghouse generator for anyone looking to purchase one for themselves.
