quality product

This is our first generator. It seems to be very well made, sturdy and good quality materials. The instruction manual was clear and easy to follow for our first start up. The electrical work necessary to connect the generator to the house was accomplished in only 2 hours. Our first start up was like magic. Using the remote starter the unit started right up and it was actually quieter than I thought it would be. Although I am not looking forward to having a power outage, living in the northeast we will certain have an opportunity to use it this winter. I feel confident that it will serve us reliably during the long New England winters.

The best generator ever

I tested it out and it works great it needed a little more oil that the quart that came with it. The generator runs stove, furnace and AC unit. It runs my entire house just like normal. It is very easy to start I am very glad that I purchased this generator I am now ready for whatever comes my way...

Great cabin generator

Read many reviews and decided to go with the Westinghouse WGen9500. Will use to power a detached garage as well as back-up for a cabin. Found the instructions to be very well written and easy to follow. Started right up and first test went without a problem. Great buy.

Excellent Features/Power

As a 78 year old, love the remote start option - main reason for purchase. Also had electrician hook up an outside box to plug into electrical panel, eliminating cords and plug all over house. All just in time for hurricane season and the excellent power of this generator will operate all essential electrical needs.

Nice Features

Just picked up the WGen9500c. Has a lot of nice features and was easy to set up. Shipping box was in terrible condition but generator appeared ok with only a couple of small bumps. Only issue is gas gauge does not appear to function I am hoping Westinghouse resolves what should be a minor issue quickly.

Easy to use with lots of features

Getting the generator out of the box was super easy. The instructions were easy to follow. Directions for maintenance are thorough, and everything is easily accessible. Lots of great features. I was very exited about the tires that can't go flat. running the generator charges the battery for remote and push button start. There is also the option of a plug in charger.

Great job

This is my second purchase. Bought first one after Helene. Worked fantastic. Runs whole house and well with no problem. Because of excellent service from the first one I set up a second one for emergency power to the shop and barn. This saves the birds I raise during power outages.

A Great Quality Generator

I found out the hard way during a power outage you get what you pay for in generators. My cheap generator quit when I needed it the most. I bought this quality Westinghouse unit and couldn’t be happier. It is heavy duty, pushes any load I would ever need, and is full of features. It even has remote start and an included battery trickle charger. Pay a little extra and get a good generator and don’t get left out in the cold like I did!

Impressed with Generator Functions

I purchased a WGEN9500 online on 9/15/20. I was so impressed reading about the functions of the generator that I ordered a second one on 9/17/20. They were easy to assemble and push button start is just what we need as my wife and I are in our 70s and live in hurricane territory. Not looking forward to another hurricane, but it sure will be easier with the WGEN9500.

Ready for the next outage

Our area had a tornado 3 weeks ago and we were without any power for 3 days. I told myself at that time, this will not happen again. As soon as power was restored I got my laptop out and ordered this machine. Not really wanting to use it but will be happy to if need arises.
