Excellent

I am impressed as to the details in the instructions and the items which came with it. Easy to follow instructions, battery charger, battery disconnect, oil, oil funnel, and a tool kit. I have started it, but have not used it yet as I am waiting for an electrician to hook it up. But, if the attention to details is an indication of the quality of construction, it should be good.

Finally purchased a generator and glad I went big!

For the size and portability of this generator, it is an absolute powerhouse. It was very easy to put together and the instructions were super easy as well. Within 30 minutes I had the wheels installed and all fluids taken care of, and then with just a push of a button it fired right up. I was surprised that it wasn't as loud as I was expecting for a unit that puts out so much power. I am going to purchase the ST Switch as well for my sump pump on stormy nights. Definitely worth the investment!

Good Power

My wife must have A/C in the heat/humidity we have in south Mississippi. I purchased this generator with the primary goal to run the central air conditioner. This generator easily starts the A/C pulling about 3200w during startup and running about 2500w. I slowly closed breakers and increased the load for the generator to about 8800w and it performed well. Motor and voltage recover quickly with each additional load. I did the recommended break-in for 5-hours varying the load less than 4500w then connected it to the house for the A/C test run. I have not ran the unit beyond this yet. So for so good.

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.

Awesome package, Plenty of power for the price

I purchased the WGEN 9500 at Lowes and had it shipped directly to my house. The product was in perfect condition and after preparing the product as directed by the instructions it fired up immediately using the electric start. I also started it using the remote key FOB from about 20 Ft with no problems whatso ever. I am very pleased with it's initial performance and I am 100% certain it will perform as advertised when needed.

Easy Starting

Arrived in good shape. Installed the wheels, skid pads, oil and gas. Plugged in the battery. Turned on the power and gas, pushed the start button and started immediately. Ran it for 30 minutes, smooth as can be. If seems to be solidly built. Hopefully it will last a long time. So far I'm pleased. Time well tell.

Great features

We bought the wgen9500 model three weeks ago. It was delivered 9 days later. The driver loaded it onto a dolley and we pushed it uphill on my driveway and into the garage, awesome service. A week later I put oil and gas in and started it up.What a beautiful sound, not loud at all. Haven`t put a load on it yet.

Easy assembly, easy setup, easy operation

We purchased the generator at the end of May, just before the start of hurricane season. We wanted extra security in case we lose electricity. It was easy to assemble, setup and operate. The pull out handle makes it easy to move. The electric/ remote start makes it easy to operate.

Great features!

Instructions were excellent, although rather than attaching battery wires as described (which was already done), required to locate and connect a wire connection found by tracing wires. Once done, started immediately on first attempt. Will be having an electrician connect to my house panel.

Easy to assemble and moves smoothly with wheel kit

Living in Texas we know the value of being well prepared for hurricane season. In fact I am writing this review less than a week after Hurricane Beryl devastated the greater Houston region. Having a powerful home outdoor generator brings invaluable peace during an otherwise chaotic event. We purchased this 9500c to increase our power to 50 amps for our newly installed plug-in breaker box. This generator was easy to assemble and moves smoothly with wheel kit that is included. Beryl may be gone, but we're on the front end of what may be a very active hurricane season. I highly recommend this generator.
