Good Power

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.

Super easy setup and long running

I purchased this generator over a month ago and finally decided to take it out of the box and get it set up. Over night the power went out and stayed out for over 2 days. The set up was VERY easy and in no time at all we were up and running. I would recommend this generator to everyone!

More than my money’s worth!

I have been reading reviews and researching generators for over a year now. I narrowed my search down to what I would realistically need. The Westinghouse Wgen9500 and wgen9500df were in our top three. The third was a Honda. It came down to value, features, ease of use and service after the sale. I tested engine speed which should be (60 hertz) it was actually 59.9 which is within range. Sine wave output measured at 49 which is perfect meaning the peaks and valleys of the waveform are equal. I did not find the same on some of the other brands. This will be connected to our meter allowing us to power the crucial circuits within our home during an outage. Features we love: Remote start, Push to start, and recoil cord as the back up! 4 GFCI 20A 120v outlets (most comparable units came with only 2) Wide mouth filler neck for refueling (minimize spills) Oversized solid wheels that make it easy to roll over rocks and debris easily. Battery, tow handle and wheel kit included (some charge extra $$$) More wattage for your dollar. Buy with confidence!

Love It

I purchased this product about a month ago, and once we opened it it was an easy assembly. We ran the generrator through test and was easy as pie. My wife even was able to do it by her self with the easy instructions and videos we watched. Love it and cant wait to use it.

Peace of Mind During Power Failures

We bought this generator after many months of looking for one that filled our needs for electrical service during power failures. I love the electrical remote start as I can stand at my circuit panel in the basement and start the generator before making the switch to backup power. The price fit our budget. And the unit powers all the equipment in our house we need to keep my wife save during power outages.

WGen9500 Awesome Generator!

I bought this Westinghouse a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Very easy to unpack and assemble wheels. It is also very easy to maneuver around. I needed more watts to power my house when storms knock off the power. This unit will do the job. It has 9500 running watts, plenty to take care what I need to power on during a power outage. And, it has a remote control electric start. I don't even have to get out of my house to crank the generator.....awesome feature that other generators don't have. Highly recommended!!

Remote start

Just received my wgen9500. Starts right up , has so many features for the price. Has visual gas gauge on top. Remote start, usb not sure if I would use that. But I could see my children being plugged in. Has a main breaker. My only issue is for the wheels it should be on one rod. It’s split. If that is my only problem with it I’ll take it.

Started Right Up ; Does NOT Include Power Cord

Just bought this last week and charged battery overnight last night and started up this morning. Fob has to be paired to generator to start (unless you want to start manually with pull cord). Pairing process was easy and it started right up. However, the one negative is that you really can't start it remotely as I'd imagined because you have to turn on the gas cutoff to "On" and you have to turn the power switch on, so really no point in having a fob to start it with when you have to go out anyway to do these steps. Also, power cord does not come with it so you will have to purchase one before you can actually use it.

Excellent Generator.

I purchased this generator two years ago, but only recently had an opportunity to use it. Great features, love the remote start...I keep the unit plugged in to maintain the battery performance. Awesome power, I installed a Generator Interlock and House Inlet hookup, to back feed my Main Panel off the 50 Amp output.

Built well

I received this generator one week ago and the assembly was a breeze taking only a few minutes to set up. The generator started right up and has great features with a push button start, pull start, and remote. The generator seems well built, I have rant it twice, and I highly recommended it.
