Load size and price per watt matter more than other items. Out of the box, put together and running in less than 30 minutes. Started on the forth crank cycle, then on the first crank thereafter. The only issue was the negative battery lug was hitting the wheel, rotated it out of the way and it's just fine. It doesn't have the wattage load needed to carry the whole load of the house, but it'll do just fine to cover those needed items.

My first impressions of this generator were better than I would have thought. I thought the build would have been cheaper looking in person, and a general low quality, but to my surprise this gen is more like the premium ones you can buy for 3 times this cost! Another thing that blows me away is the sound level. Construction style generators like this are generally loud and obnoxious, I’ve own 3 10+ horsepower generators that have been too loud and embarrassing to use next to your neighbor. They must be doing mufflers different now because the Westinghouse 9500 is not necessarily quiet, but definitely do-able for the neighbors. I can speak just over normal volume and have a casual conversation next to it while it’s running. I love it! So glad I bought it!

My WGEN9500 was purchased online on Monday they delivered it on Friday. Easy set up came with oil, wrenches, wheels, and battery. Starts 3 ways all started the generator with no problem! Has lots of handy features plus a very generous warranty program of 3 years motor and gen. Well worth the money!!!

Just received the generator and unboxed it. The start up instructions were easy to follow. The generator started up the very first time! I like the electronic start, remote feature, and the plug in battery charger is handy! I feel that the generator is a very good value, and is well made .

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.

I had been looking for a generator that would start my well pump. This Westinghouse fits the bill perfectly. It was easy to assemble. Put fuel in the generator and it started right up. I have had it a month now, started it today and ran it 15 minutes. Everything seems great. Easy to move around too.

My wife must have A/C in the heat/humidity we have in south Mississippi. I purchased this generator with the primary goal to run the central air conditioner. This generator easily starts the A/C pulling about 3200w during startup and running about 2500w. I slowly closed breakers and increased the load for the generator to about 8800w and it performed well. Motor and voltage recover quickly with each additional load. I did the recommended break-in for 5-hours varying the load less than 4500w then connected it to the house for the A/C test run. I have not ran the unit beyond this yet. So for so good.

After Many years of intermittent power outages, four of which were extended (7 days or more), the latest being with Hurricane Laura, we bought this WGen9500 and I couldn't be more satisfied. Notes: Shipping / delivery personnel great. Carried (unbelievable considering it's weight) to my back porch and unboxed. Weight --yes, it is heavy. You probably want to have some help tipping it on side to put on wheels and legs Noise level - actually not too loud at all. I've run it at very end of back porch, and with entry door closed decibel level at least seems less than my lawn mower. Easy initial setup, excellent manual, perfect oil funnel furnished. Enough power, with discretion, to run everything we will want to make life much more comfortable with the next outage. Very simply, you can't go wrong with this generator.

I bought the Unit a few months ago for upcoming Hurricane season down South. I am happy to have 3 options to operate the Generator, which I have access to use all 3 methods. I am able to start the Generator with a remote device. The generator is easy to roll to my outside location near my gas hookup. It is easy to hookup to my propane bottles also.

I bought the WGEN9500 to plug into my transfer box and run my whole house. I bought the unit in an emergency situation and have been unable to test it fully, however the amount of time that we ha e run it and in the limited capacity of use it performed very well.
