Excellent

I am impressed as to the details in the instructions and the items which came with it. Easy to follow instructions, battery charger, battery disconnect, oil, oil funnel, and a tool kit. I have started it, but have not used it yet as I am waiting for an electrician to hook it up. But, if the attention to details is an indication of the quality of construction, it should be good.

Just received

Just received and have not even used it. Doing this review to get the free cover. Don't know how a person can do a review when they haven't been given the opportunity to use it many times. We won't use it until our power goes out which is not often and would imagine it will work great brand new. The real test will be in the future years after being used many many times, then that will be when a true review is able to be made.

Just received unit

Excellent delivery right to the door of my choosing. Very well packaged unit arrived in excellent condition. Just got it out of the box and starting to assemble. It has a battery and oil, good to go. I’m leaving now for the hardware store to npbuy four nuts missing to attach the feet on the bottom then will get it started.

Westinghouse WGen 9500c Portable Generator

I purchased this generator to supply our house with power when the electricity goes out during storms at any time of the year, day or hour. We can now keep our stove, refrigerator, furnace, WiFi and lights with power. This is thinking ahead and thinking smart.

Excellent Value: Great Features and well made

I purchased the WGen9500 based on other customer reviews, price, and features. In addition to the generator being able to produce 240 volts to run my well pump, I really like the fact that it features 4 110 volt outlets, and 2 different 240 volt outlets. The electric start and auto choke are great features two, and the remote start too. I appreciate the fact that there is also a backup pull start feature. The user manual is well written and very detailed.

Runs Entire 2400 Sq Ft Home with 4K HVAC

Hooked up to home using the 50A plug on generator, Twenty foot/ 50A extension cord, Reliance PBN50 power inlet box, 6 ga. THHN wires to 50A breaker with mechanical interlock switch in electric panel. Runs entire home with 4 ton AC. Now for the disclaimer. My 4 ton American Standard condenser is new and pulls less than 40 amps when compressor kicks in. If your condenser is old, or if you can hear it hitting hard when it starts, you may have to install a soft or hard start kit on the condensing unit. I have only tested this for about an hour but cycled the AC on and off a few times and the generator performed very well. I'm in Houston area and the temp was almost 90 with ridiculous humidity when I ran this test.

Satisfied w/ purchase

Hasn't really been put to the test yet, but almost excited to have a power outage. With a little prep, it's all set-up for plugging into utility pole & ready to go. Was warned about some other generators from other places, but this one looks good & should meet our needs.

Great Generator

I bought in Feb 2021, when the big snowstorm happened in San Antonio, TX, we weren't prepared but we are now! We got enough power to assist our family and neighbors should there be another crisis. Has Great features including a remote start, 12500 Peak Watts, plenty of outlets - we highly recommend it!

Excellent Features/Power

As a 78 year old, love the remote start option - main reason for purchase. Also had electrician hook up an outside box to plug into electrical panel, eliminating cords and plug all over house. All just in time for hurricane season and the excellent power of this generator will operate all essential electrical needs.

so far so good, it should do the job

received the wgen 9500 from shipper. Box was in good shape. Unit was in good shape. Followed assembly and startup instructions and unit started on first crank from keyless fob. have run it 5 hours and changed the oil. i upgraded from a 7200 watt generator to this 9500 running watt gen for this hurricane season.
