Nice

I bought this generator three weeks ago. Am in process of doing the break in process, very satisfied with generators start up and out put. Push button auto start very nice, push once and within 3 or 5 seconds motor turning over to start. Mid 30s temperature have not had to use choke to start.

Fantastic Piece of Equipment!

I purchased this generator earlier this month and was impressed with the workmanship and looks. After following the startup, the generator fired off immediately after the short delay on the push button. This is my first Westinghouse generator and am looking forward to many years of use. The remote start switch works well. I like it a lot!!

generator WGen9500c

We bought this a few days ago for insurance after a hurricane in our area (Helene). It was easy to assemble and we started it up for about an hour and it worked well. This is a great insurance policy and a piece of mind if (and when) the electricty goes out. We are pleased.

Does the job!

Bought this after Hurricane Dorian to be prepared for future storms as we are a recent transplant to hurricane country. It wasn't the cheapest option, but has 9500 W continuous and up to 12000 peak so it will run most everything we need in an emergency. Received the unit in good shape despite being super heavy. It was mostly ready to go except for bolting on the wheels and ground rests. Hooked up the battery, added oil (included!) and gas and set the fuel open. It started right up with a key FOB like your car. Didn't even have to pull the cord. Super easy. Let it run some to break it in a little bit, then set the breakers and put some load on it. It ran everything fine! It has USB to charge your phones/computers, normal 15A, 30A and even a 50A circuit available. Eventually we would like to hook this up to a transfer switch, but for now we'll use extension cords. Seems to be really easy to use and maintenance appears to be pretty straight-forward. Hoping not to be without house power for an extended length of time but if we are for whatever reason we will be well prepared with this.

Easy to Assemble and Start

We bought this as a backup home generator primarily, but also wanted the flexibility from a portable unit. This is so easy to put together. The push button start and fob start are great features so that anyone can use it. We highly recommend this generator.

Generator

Have yet to use it, I had a generac 6500-8000 that quit working, probably due to overload I wanted a larger size that will run my whole house, and after reading reviews on the 9500-12500 Westinghouse, I decided to go with this one. It has more features than comparable ones of this size. I gave it 4 stars because I have yet to use it

Seems like a good quality generator

I just purchased this generator so haven't yet had a chance to test it out properly, but overall it looks to be good quality and heavy duty. I like the features that are advertised and will be testing it out soon so I will add any updates after that is done.

Easy to use and great in a pinch!

My wife and I purchased this generator because we live in a location that many trees have been dropping on our power lines. We had an electrician wire a box so that only our essentials (a light or two, refrigerator, water heater, etc) are drawing. The setup was easy and for the price it is wonderful to have the knowledge that we are safe. We have used it for a few years now after both summer storms and winter nor-easters and we have no complaints!

Generator review

This is my lifeline. Just purchased this last month and just went through Hurricane Debby here in the Florida keys. I felt safer knowing a had a reliable source to keep critical equipment working inside my home should the power go out following such a natural disaster. Thank you Westinghouse!
