Great Features!

Our generator was delivered a few days ago. We haven't actually had an opportunity to use it yet. We have it ready to go when we need it, but we will have an electrician set us up where we can plug it into our electric panel and have alot of items we can use in our home if the power goes out. Hurricane season on the Texas gulf coast is here. Hopefully we won't have to use it. The generator started up easily with the remote and with the electric start button. The only thing that I can say that was negative is that the bottle of oil we were provided to add was a little short on the dipstick. It showed at the very bottom of cross hatch on dipstick. Maybe to prevent overfilling. We purchased a bottle of the correct oil and will add just a little more. I like that it will automatically shut off for carbon monoxide detection. Seems like it will be a great generator for us and keep us comfortable when power outages arise!

Easy to start!

Totally satisfied with purchase. The push button start & remote start features worked flawlessly. So much easier to start that traditional recoil or pull start. Showed my wife how to start it and she had no issues either. She never was able to run our old generator. Bought it in preparation for the 2024 hurricane season and feel confident that it will handle our needs if electrical power is loss.

Remote start-up

Bought this Generator about 1 week ago and so far it has work as described. Wanted a Generator to power my home in case of outages which apparently occur often now in California. The thing that I love is the remote start feature. Overall happy with purchase.

So far So good!

Just received this item. Packaging was in good condition. Cut box open to get to the generator, no problem. I used a 4x4 to prop up the machine to install wheels. Finally got the legs installed. The generator is heavy and seems very substantial. I had to pull down on the red/black wires to the battery in order to expose the connector so that I could get the battery online. The remote is hooked on the pull cord that you use to manually start the generator. Hope this helps the next buyer.

Powerful Generator with electric start

I purchased this generator a couple of weeks ago. It is a superb generator. One reason I purchased it was it has a 50amp outlet, since I will use it to power my house. The electric start is also a great feature. I bought an off brand generator for Y2K and that was never able to power my whole house. I have not had a power outage yet, but have set it up to power my house as a trial, and it ran very smoothly and never struggled at all with everything in the house running. My previous generator was a pull start, and it was almost impossible to start, especially on the winter when I really needed it.

Westinghouse Generator 9500

Aside from having to put on the wheels, adding oil and hooking up the battery, the generator was ready for use. Started up on the first try, powered a clock that I was using to test it and I have run it now for about an hour with no problem. A great product.

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.

Strong motor, powerful generator, reliable output

This generator replaces an older generator that aged well but simply was not able to function as standby house back-up power source. The WGen9500 is strong, powerful, reliable but somewhat noisy. We have not yet had any significant power outages, but we have utilized the WGen 9500 generator to test reliability as well as steadiness of supplied power for computers and other home electronics. The electric start/ remote start are real pluses. The noise level is the only negative. The price point and reliability are the strongest features.

Whole House Generator

Purchased this generator to power my well pump, heat pump, deep freeze and other appliances in my house. It has met and exceeded all my expectations and powers everything I need it to. My family and I are now worry free anytime we lose our electricity.
