After reviewing many portable generators in this size range for price, performance, features, warranty and reliability I chose the WGen9500 because it met or exceeded other generators in this range. It arrived exactly when scheduled and the delivery driver was fantastic. I was able to unbox it and install the feet and wheels in just a few minutes. Though the battery need to be charged, I was able to start it manually on the first pull.

I haven’t had to use this in a power outage yet but we did do a test and I am confident this generator will be reliable and perfect for my families needs. The set up was so easy and It started up perfectly and powered everything we needed. The generator was much quieter than our old generator and the remote control is wonderful. I’m not wishing for a power outage but when one happens I’m more confident freezers will stay frozen and we will be comfortable

WGEN 9500 Received on time. Even the packaging is well thought out. Easy to remove. Easy to install the included wheels and rubber mounts. The manual is well written and easy to understand ( unusual these days ) Great that they include a complete parts list, exploded view and wire schematic. Specs say the engine sump holds 1.1 Qts. oil. They include a bottle of oil which is labeled as containing 1.16 Qts. - They thought of everything. - I think a lot of people leaving reviews missed that subtle point.

My generator just arrived. Everything is well packaged. Generator is a good value compared to competitors. Decided to buy this generator when our house was without power for five days. We lost more in food than what this generator cost. Next time we'll save our food and get to take showers!

Luckily we haven't had to use the generator since we bought it but it appears to be solid. Followed the simple assembly directions for the wheels then added oil and fuel. She started right up with a push of the button and ran beautifully. Did notice rust blisters on the top of the control panel so that will have to be sanded down and repainted at some point. Biggest complaint was with the shipping. The generator was clearly stored upside down because although they drained the oil, the little bit left inside ran out and was all over the top left corner and the control panel. The frame rail was also all scratched up (More Painting Will Be Needed) and the silica bag placed in the box was torn open and the silica beads were everywhere. Had to ensure none got into the generator before starting.

Purchased the first of September and it arrived 4 days later. This generator is well made and it started up with no hesitation! Although we currently don’t have an outage, It gives me peace of mind that this thing will do a fine job on our next outage!

Love this backup generator. Was a replacement for an old 30 amp predator that was giving us issues. This Westinghouse 50 amp can power the whole house during power outages. Well pump, sump pump, fridge, laundry. And it's quieter than I would have expected. Haven't tried the remote start yet. That's a fun upgrade. These things just keep on getting better and better. Feeling optimistic and ready for the next storm.

The price of this generator and the wattage were the two main reasons for purchase as well as the Westinghouse name. There are a number of great features for an elderly man. Remote start. After the deep freeze in Texas in February we wanted to be prepared should we have long power outages again. Handy to have wheels and handle. Easy assembly. Battery charger is a plus.

Full disclosure… I haven’t had the need, thank God, to attach this generator to my panel to run my house. That’s the only reason I can’t give it a five star rating as of yet. It was incredibly easy to set up. Even the oil was included in the packaging. It started right up whether I cranked it, pressed the button on the unit or started it with the fob. The features on this thing are absolutely fantastic. It’s so user-friendly that I’ve started it up multiple times since that first day just to keep it primed. Hopefully I will never have to use it to power my house, but I have confidence that it will give me no problems should I need to. Great product!

We absolutely love our new generator. It was super easy to set up and the remote electric start is such a great feature. It has enough power to power our entire small house, air conditioning and all. This hurricane season in Florida will be a lot less stressfull for us, knowing that we're ready for any power outage.
