Operates as expected

The reviews for the wgen9500 that I found were positive. I received my unit and followed the setup sheet. There really isn't much to do to get it ready. The instructions were clear and everything was detailed. I cranked it over with the remote key and it fired up after the 4th crank cycle. The unit ran flawlessly for about an hour before the small amount of fuel I put in it was consumed. The unit looks to be well made and I am happy with my purchase. I am currently waiting for my electrician to wire in a interlock kit and outdoor 50 Amp receptacle in. I'll test out the unit loaded after that. I will update my review if possible as I just originally came to register for my warranty but was offered a free cover for a review.

Game changer

I purchased a 9500 watt generator as an emergency backup and waiting to install a transfer switch for safer use. However already fired it up and it’s extremely easy to operate and works flawlessly. They even sent first quart of oil. Unit is noticeably quieter than other ones I’ve used in the past. Game changer!!!

Love this generator

So glad I bought this generator. It powers my whole house and I have had no issues using it. Very easy to use. Would recommend this generator to anyone looking for a reliable backup when their electricity goes out. I would buy this handy generator again.

Love it!

We just purchased this after our last power outage. We pulled it out of the box, set up instructions were easy to follow and it fired right up. It came with oil and all that was necessary except the gasoline. Love that it came with a remote start and are so happy about the peace of mind it gives us to now have this stored and waiting for our next outage.

Excellent Generator

I bought this Generator to have on standby in case of a power outage during storms. After getting it set up and running I am very impressed. If you are looking for a well-built generator with excellent features stop looking and buy the WGen9500. It is well worth every penny.

Great generator

This is a great generator, but they need to update the user manual. The manual indicates that you need to connect the battery cables to the battery. This generator came with the cables already connected. However, I was not getting power from the battery which did not allow the electric start to work. It took me a while to discover that there was a quick connect for the cables tucked up underneath the frame with a zip tie.

Overall good generator

It worked great out of the box. Followed the simple instructions and initial start up was a breeze. I had to take one star of because the fuel gauge got stuck after the first use and it doesn’t not reflect the correct fuel level in the tank. Overall, for the price I paid, I happy with this purchase.

Monster Machine

I was impressed with all of its features at the price point. Easy assemble of wheels. Put in the gas, oil and it started right up. I haven't tested it for long periods as our hurricane hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully I won't need it, but fingers crossed that I have no issues with it.

Exactly what we need!

Fortunately, we haven't needed to use our new generator yet but the extensive research we did before purchasing this one makes us confident that it will run everything we need it to in our house. We have lost power four times in seven months, for up to five days each time, and we do not want to lose everything in our refrigerator again. This will pay for itself in saved groceries alone!

Well build, intuitive generator. Great price!

This is my first generator so I was nervous I would struggle using a generator. I researched generators with a great value, user friendly, and reliable. I found Westinghouse WGen9500, which has been exactly what I was looking for. I can easily transport it without fear it'll break and get hours of power that can easily be started at the push of a button. The electric start is AWESOME! Highly recommend this generator.
