Can't beat the price for the size

So far very happy. Bought and broke in to Westinghouse recommendations via HDdotcom also got a great deal from them. I'd give 4-1/2stars if i could as my concerns thus far are minor. I don't like the location of the ground terminal under the 50amp receptacle it protrudes a little for my 90degree plug but it's still fine. My other concern is that I just don't like the wheels being attached by a cotter pin. When full of gas and rolling the wheels are angled just doesn't seem strong to last a long time. All in all does what its supposed to do so far so I would recommend

Great features, amazing price!

I did dozens and dozens of hours researching generators and by far this one gives you the best bang for your buck. It supplies power to my 2000 ft² home with my 3.5 ton AC unit without breaking a sweat. All of this for a fraction of the cost of using a generac base system. I would highly recommend this to anyone

Absolute Powerhouse...

Due to the Hurricane that recently impacted Houston, TX; getting a generator was a must. After doing some research, and actually seeing it in action this was top of the list. 9500 running will power all of the essential items in my 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home.

Perfect for power outages in Fl.

We purchased this after riding out a few Hurricanes/tropical storms in the dark after the power was cutoff to the neighborhood. Luckily we haven't had to use it in an emergency but have thoroughly tested it fore performance (under load), and we're liking the response from this unit! Also the remote start is a great feature as going out in the dark to pull start a machine is a real pain in the backside.

Wgen9500 portable generator

I bought this today and it was so easy to put together. 10 mins max! Install wheels,oil,gas and plug in battery she started right up. Glad to know I’ll be protected by Westinghouse during our next power outage. Which is pretty often here in south Louisiana. Thanks Wish for protective vinyl cover instead of power strip :0

Good Value

Purchased this generator to run our entire house, when the power goes out during a hurricane. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost and features of it, compared to the others. It provides plenty of power to run all of my wife’s hair products and the lights at the same time!! Happy wife, happy life!

Time for an upgrade

After struggling with an undersized, pull start for the past 9 years, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I live in a cold weather climate and loose power at least once a winter. Need enough power to keep the heat on and run the well pump. This should have more than enough power. It was scary how easily it started for the first time. I’m use to struggling with the pull cord and messing with the choke and hoping that my old generator would start. Don’t think I’ll have to worry about that anymore. I’m actually looking forward to my next power outage.

Peace of Mind!

We used our in laws 7500 series generator over the course of several days without any problem and were actually the first to use it. After that experience we decided to invest in one ourselves, opting for the 9500 model. I like the features and the option of the 50A connection.

Love the remote start feature (key fob)

I bought the wgen9500c a few months back but I wanted to wait before I left a review. First it was very easy to put together, basically just the wheels , two rubber antivibe pieces with brackets (opposite wheels) and the battery connection. Oh and oil & gas of course. Took 20 min maybe. It’s very heavy so plan on that if you’ll need to move before you get the wheels on it. Anyway it fired right up and runs my whole house with a central AC. it has a plug that looks like a laptop plug and you use that to keep your battery fully charged. It’s like a trickled charger without all the mess. It also comes with a key fob and you hold the button and it’ll remotely start or stop the generator. It’s a good size generator for when the power goes out or Amy other reason you would need a lot of power. My only complaints it how loud it is, it’s nothing crazy but it just seems it could be quieter. It is a large motor so it’s expected and when the hurricanes came through and I had power guess what, that sound didn’t bother me or my neighbors one bit. Overall I’d recommend this Westinghouse wgem9500c. I’ve had it about 6 months and I’m happy with it. Used it for like 2 weeks straight so far.

Top Rated Generator

This all the watts I need. Even with Electric start and a remote(that work 100%) I had to test it old school first and started 1st pull. Used twice already and runs smooth. Battery was wired already with a push connector(EASY).Handle was already on. Just had to install wheels and feet. Strong frame, has a maintenance schedule sheet, follow that and your good for years. Just a high quality generator.
