Solid Equipment

This generator is a solid piece of equipment. I have another well know brand that I have used in several storms, hurricanes, thunderstorms and the deep freeze in Texas. I needed one that would power the entire house, and this one does the trick. Much quieter than my other one too. Nice piece of equipment!

Hurricane season prepping!

I purchased this generator about a month ago and I love it. This thing has more features than both of my cars! Haven't had to use it in an emergency yet, but I have already fired it up and put a load on it and ran like a champ. We are in south Louisiana and have a really busy hurricane season so I wanted a generator capable of handling the load of most of my home, minus the central a/c, and this one is the one for the job. I will try to update this review after the season is over to talk about how it handles what I have to put it through.

Power beast

I have a Westinghouse inverter and a pressure washer….not sure I’ll ever trust another brand again after the quality I get from Westinghouse products!! I bought the WGen9500c to power my whole house for a long period and it did not disappoint!!! Wired everything up and was running my entire house off the generator for 3 hours and it barely lifted a finger!!! The remote start works perfectly and everything was a very simple setup!! I’ll always trust Westinghouse!!!

WGen9500 works like a charm

Bought generator to provide backup energy in case of power outages. I am super happy with purchase. This unit has been super reliable, with so many features available to end user. I couldn’t be happier and can’t recommend it enough. Customer for life!

Great so far

I've not yet used this generator enough to fully evaluate it, but everything so far has been excellent. It was easy to set-up and everything functions as advertised. The electric start feature is really nice. It runs smooth and is quieter than an older 5K generator that I had been using. It should make enduring these ridiculous PG&E power shutoff's much, much easier.

lots of power for your $

I've only had it a few days, so it hasn't been put to the test.... yet. The 9500 running watts and a 50A circuit are plenty to keep the lights, refigerators (yeah we have 2) and even the central air running. Come winter if we lose power we'll be in even better shape. I've never met a portable generator that starts without the choke, till now. The remote start is awesome if I'm not home the wife just has to point the remote out the window if the need arises (obviously I'll have everything hooked up and the battery switch on prior) so in the event of, I don't know, a hurricane (like the one that just passed through this week) she doesn't need to go out in a downpour if I'm not here. I honestly wish it held some more gas, not that 6.6 gallons is small. As long as it runs through the night I'll be happy. I also like the handle, much sturdier than other generators. The large wheels give it enough ground clearance that I can pull it over a curb if neccessary. I'm looking forward to putting some load on it and seeing what it's got...... not that I want the power to go out, we'll find something else ;)

Great Generator but have CO Sensor Issues

Generator worked great when I first purchased and test ran. Ive started it monthly,since purchased in August of 2023, to let it run a little and shut it off since I have not had the need to run it continuously yet. Today, 1/10/24, I started it up and a few minutes later the CO sensor, yellow light, comes in and shuts down the generator. I even placed it in the middle of my backyard away from everything to try it and it still shuts down due to the CO sensor.

Easy Setup, great emergency generator

We habitually lose power several times a year because we live in the country. The last time the electricity was out for days. I was worried about food getting spoiled. This generator foots the bill. I need to explore all the options it offers because I only used the 120v outlets for the refrigerator/freezer. It definitely gives you ‘piece of mind’ when Mother Nature gets nasty. Great product and would recommend..

fantastic product

Purchased this to replace 2 smaller generators.Received and after unpacking followed factory set-up instructions,started right up, and purrs like a kitten.Its heavy,but as you go up in power so the weight increases,this is standard in generators.like the control panel,and the number of plugs.You will be happy if you purchase this generator.

Good Quality Generator

This 9,500 watt generator provides power to all my appliances, including central AC, which is great because I wasn't sure about the AC. It won't power the two 7,500 watt elements in my heating system, but I didn't expect it to and have propane heating in my house for that.
