Solid Unit - Fired right up - One Little Issue

Received today, shipping was a week later than originally stated - no big deal. The unit was clean, appears well made, fitting wheels/footrests was super easy, and fired right up. It is soon to evaluate the serviceability. One complaint - As I rolled the unit into the open to start it one wheel bearing fell apart. I am sure that customer service will do the right thing...

Wgen9500

I bought this generator to back up select loads in my house when the power goes out. This thing is awesome, push button start, key fob start, plenty of power! I researched generators for a while before pulling the trigger, landed on this one because of the 50a receptacle.

Runs Entire 2400 Sq Ft Home with 4K HVAC

Hooked up to home using the 50A plug on generator, Twenty foot/ 50A extension cord, Reliance PBN50 power inlet box, 6 ga. THHN wires to 50A breaker with mechanical interlock switch in electric panel. Runs entire home with 4 ton AC. Now for the disclaimer. My 4 ton American Standard condenser is new and pulls less than 40 amps when compressor kicks in. If your condenser is old, or if you can hear it hitting hard when it starts, you may have to install a soft or hard start kit on the condensing unit. I have only tested this for about an hour but cycled the AC on and off a few times and the generator performed very well. I'm in Houston area and the temp was almost 90 with ridiculous humidity when I ran this test.

Good Generator

I bought this generator in January of 2021. I needed it twice since then, the first time no issues at all, the second time I couldn't get it to start. It could be me but when trying to start it the battery died.... when it did work it did power up my entire home. Guess I need to read up on keeping this item at the ready for when it's needed.

Runs the whole house with ease

I purchased this product for my home backup during an emergency outage. I wanted something that could handle most if not all of my circuits. This generator performed excellent during my test and had plenty of room to spare. For the price and the features this generator easily beats the competition.

Impressed so far

Just received my generator today. Setup was quick and easy. Very well documented - my wife can operate it from the startup instruction right on the unit. I find it to be surprisingly quiet and smooth running. Time will tell on reliability but very happy with it so far.

Best Generator

I bought this March 2021 and waited until I used it enough to know the unit to write a review. Shipping was on time, delivery drivers respectful of my investment, the box in showroom condition and not a scratch on the generator. The first startup was interesting, oil added and I went to pull the cord a few times to run oil up in the motor but it started on the first easy pull. Breakin was easy, oil changing no issue. Then I had back surgery so it sat for a few months. I didn't put fuel stabilizer in it so when I rolled it out I wondered what would happen but when I turned it on, hit the remote it started right up. I researched a bunch of generators before buying and Westinghouse was always top rated for a number of reasons so I bought the WGen9500 and I couldn't be more pleased with it. I highly recommend this generator for features performance and price, you will not be disappointed.
