WGen9500c for my 50 amp 5th wheel RV!

I bought this generator about 2 months ago. It was super easy to assemble the wheels and foot stops. The instructions are very easy to follow. The unit comes with the exact amount of oil needed. The unit started right up with the electric start button and then again with the remote. I started EVERYTHING in my 5th wheel and the generator did really well. I have two huge A/Cs, a full size fridge, full size microwave, electric water heater, water pump, electric fire place and a few appliances (such as vacumn, coffee). I just added some fuel stabilizer just in case since I won't be using it as often. Last thing, I'm currently at about 5,000+ feet above sea level. The instructions say I may need a kit for high altitude, but I haven't needed it yet. The generator is slightly louder than I would like, but I found it to be the quietest in the market that can produce this much power. The generator is also heavy, so I posted a picture of how I put it in my RV.

Great {Product and Price

I bought this Westinghouse 9500c generator last month and it is the best purchase I have made in a long time. Love the Remote start as well as the Push Botton start on the generator. We use it at a camp site and worked perfectly for everything. Plenty of connections, runs quietly, and last for a while. The PRICE was absolutely the BEST unbelievable. ..

Good Quality Generator

This 9,500 watt generator provides power to all my appliances, including central AC, which is great because I wasn't sure about the AC. It won't power the two 7,500 watt elements in my heating system, but I didn't expect it to and have propane heating in my house for that.

Rugged Product

I bought this generator about a month ago as a back up power source for my home and I am very happy with it. I received it 3 days after I ordered it. This generator is well built, sturdy, and has great features. It was very reasonably priced for the features, power, and build quality. I am sure it will serve our needs very well.

Good features for pricing

We bought this just in case we were without power. I forgot to turn the gas valve to on. Once I figured that out it started right up. Push button works. It is a not a quiet machine, I plan to cover it in a vented box or use some plywood to mute the sound a little. Overall a great value

PIECE OF MIND!

We purchased the WGen9500 during the very cold spell here in Missouri. We were concerned of a power outage during the COVID-19 pandemic and wanted to ensure that our home would keep warm during an outage to protect our family and pets. The WGen9500 worked like a charm and provided us with the comfort and piece of mind that we were looking for during our time of need. I strongly recommend purchasing one for your home.

K & J

We placed our two Honda 3500 with this Westinghouse 9500/12,500 watt generator. The one Honda has been in the shop a couple times and wanted to try a new brand. Westinghouse had good reviews and we're glad we chose this one. We have not really tried this out yet but we are now ready!

Runs great!

Generator came in two days with no damages. I did not expect it to come with a battery but it did. Even the key fob was paired with the generator. Nice to see that it has a port for charging the battery when stored. Even came with a charger. I charged the battery, added oil and gas and it fired right up. We are on a well so if we loose power we don't have any water. That was the main reason for purchasing a generator. Nice to know that we will always have water and plenty of power.

Easy Setup

Shipping was quick and arrived in good shape. Assembly was minimal and easy, just pin on the 2 wheels and 4 bolts for the feet. Added oil and fuel. Started quicker than expected, thought it might take a little bit to get the fuel into the carb, but fired right off. Seems to work with a small load, have not had a chance to load it up yet.

Great Generator but have CO Sensor Issues

Generator worked great when I first purchased and test ran. Ive started it monthly,since purchased in August of 2023, to let it run a little and shut it off since I have not had the need to run it continuously yet. Today, 1/10/24, I started it up and a few minutes later the CO sensor, yellow light, comes in and shuts down the generator. I even placed it in the middle of my backyard away from everything to try it and it still shuts down due to the CO sensor.
