Meeting my needs so far.

I received this item two weeks ago and have used it about 4 times. It seems to be delivering promised performance. The User Manual illustrations of the GCFI circuit breaker are lacking a bit in that you need to push them in about 1/8th inch and listen for a click before they are actually activated. Once I figured that out it has performed well so far.

Great product

It powers most of my house including my central AC unit. Use it as a home back up power source and it didn’t disappoint. Best investment you will make for peace of mind and at a good value. It won’t break your pocket and it will deliver more power than most out there at a cheaper price.

Great Generator Great Price

This generator is heavy duty and very professional looking. Generator was very simple to assemble. Added Oil and gas according to information in manual. Read through information in manual, pressed start button one time started right up. Let it run for 10 minutes and shut down. I will update in future reviews as Hurricane Elsa Is approaching soon.

Bought this a few days ago to replace an existing one arrived undamaged. Assembly was easy just put wheels on and the pads connect the battery and charge and it started right up. Tested and it ran my boiler refrigerator and 2 freezer's plus all the lights very happy with this generator

great features

I bought this generator in September 2023. We have used it several times since then. I like that there is three ways to start it. I love the remote start feature. It starts every time that I need it to. I also like having a fuel gauge on the generator. When it is running it's not very loud.

Excellent Machine

The generator was well packaged and arrived with no damage to either the carton or the generator. The wheels and legs were easy to attach and adding the oil was also easy. I made the battery connection and the generator turned over on the first try. The FOB remote worked just as well. After putting fuel in the tank and remembering to turn the fuel shutoff valve to the on position, the generator started on the second time it turned over. The electrical output was excellent. The only thing about the generator I do not understand is it is rated at 9500 running watts and one outlet is a 50-amp. This would equal 120 volts x 50 amps = 6000 watts. I asked if the 30-amp and 50-amp outlets could be used at the same time and was told no. I do not know how to get the full 9500 running watts out of the unit.

generator WGen9500c

We bought this a few days ago for insurance after a hurricane in our area (Helene). It was easy to assemble and we started it up for about an hour and it worked well. This is a great insurance policy and a piece of mind if (and when) the electricty goes out. We are pleased.

Great performance

I bought this back in October and have been very pleased. I have a manual transfer switch that has my oil furnace, water pump, refrigerator, and a number of rooms in my house hooked to it. The WGen9500 handles those loads with room to spare. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Beautiful Piece of Equipment!

I just bought this WGen9500 last week. I took it out of the box, installed the feet and wheels, but have not had time to put in the oil yet. I know that is going to be perfect for my needs: working around my 3-acre property and acting as a stand-by generator for extended outages. I compared to other machines and found this one to be everything I wanted. Even though there have been ownership changes I still trust the Westinghouse name. I can be sure.

Starts right up

Started right up. Having problems finding a cover for it and only leaving a review before actually using it because it said you could get a free cover, but apparently supplies are out, so it seems silly even leaving a review for a product we haven’t even used. The oil it comes with isn’t enough to fill it, so make sure you have extra. It is quiet for a generator it’s size, but definitely loud. I actually can’t wait for our next power outage, since it’s located on the side of our house next to the neighbors with the constantly barking dogs! ;)
