Solid generator

I bought this generator in April of 2023 and it has literally been sitting in the box for over a year. Decided I better get my act together and get it broken in before I really need it. Son of a gun it started right up. I live in the Houston area prone to power outages, and had an electrician wire a transfer switch to plug this bad boy into the house to keep us under power should things get bad. I’ve recommended this size generator to a number of neighbors. It’s the best bang for your hard earned money.

Rocky Mountain Powerful!

I purchased the WGEN9500 gas only genny as the only power source for building an off-grid home in the Rockies. This portable little beast never fell short through all seasons. In the winter we also had a 40 ft RV hooked up. We never had a power shortage as long as we kept it fueled. I highly recommend this genny for heavy duty and continuous use year round.

Easy Perfection

What a nice product! Easy to put on wheels, filling the oil, connecting battery and start the machine. Everything went together well and seems to be of high quality. Machine started up without any problem! I hope I don’t need to use the generator but am feeling good and confident that if I need the generator, I am well prepared!

Battery Dead On Delivery

Assembly instructions look like someone that does not speak English natively (or well) wrote them (although they are good enough to work with and assembly is minimal). As the title states, the unit arrived with a dead battery. It seems someone at the factory forgot to turn the power off before boxing. Who knows how long it sat in the warehouse before arriving, but connecting the battery charger for an entire day, did nothing to revive it. Hoping Westinghouse will send another battery free of charge. If not, will return it. Other than that, it appears to be well, sturdily constructed. Have not tried to start it yet, pending the battery issue. Disappointed that the unit was constructed outside the U.S.A., hence not recommending others to purchase.

Easy Setup

Was easy to setup and impressed with multiple starts and no choke. Did not open gas line (should have read instructions closer) and first attempt timed out. Reread instructions opened gas line, pushed button and fired right up. Hook up to transfer switch for an outbuilding which includes ac unit and water well. All worked great.

Remote Start Generator

I purchased this generator to replace my old one which quit working. I was pleased with how quickly it arrived. It was easy to unpack & to put on the feet & wheels. After putting gas & oil in, it started right up. Have not actually had a chance yet to put it to full use but will be ready should our power go out. I have great expectations so I hope it doesn't disappoint.

Great quality

I was very impressed with the quality of this machine and the attention to detail. I was thinking of replacing the wheels to eliminate some vibration but after looking at the wheels provided they are not "hard" plastic but have some flexibility to them which would be similar to run flat tires that I was considering as replacements. This machine has all the features that one would find in a stationary back up generator and once the current need for portable power has passed I intend to set it up as my sole back up generator. The dual fuel eliminates the concern for long periods of storage which has always been a concern. No time on the machine as of yet but I expect it to perform well based on the quality of the machine and other comments posted.

BETTER THAT I EXPECTED

I JUST GOT THIS 3 DAYS AGO AND SO FAR I LIKE BETTER THAN THE LAST ONE I HAD. IT WAS A DUROMAX 9500. THERE WAS SOME PARTS MISSING AND I COULD NOT GET ANY RESULTS FROM THEM TO FIX IT SO I SENT IT BACK. THIS ONE SEEMS TO BE BUILT BETTER AND COMES WITH EVERTHING YOU NEED. I STARTED IT UP ON LP GAS AND CHECKED ALL OF THE CIRCUITS ON IT AND I AM PLEASED AT THE WAY THEY ALL WORK. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS WESTINGHOUSE GENERATOR.

Will be a lifesaver

I just bought this after the Texas winter storm of 2021 when our power was shut off for a week. The shipping was right away and it came just as advertised. I’ve got it all set up with a test run and ready for the next time we lose power so we don’t ever have to be without heat again!
