Strong motor, powerful generator, reliable output

This generator replaces an older generator that aged well but simply was not able to function as standby house back-up power source. The WGen9500 is strong, powerful, reliable but somewhat noisy. We have not yet had any significant power outages, but we have utilized the WGen 9500 generator to test reliability as well as steadiness of supplied power for computers and other home electronics. The electric start/ remote start are real pluses. The noise level is the only negative. The price point and reliability are the strongest features.

better than expected

bought as a replacement for a flood damaged unit of another brand. arrived in perfect condition and took less than 10 minutes to get ready to run. started on the second pull (used manual start to see how difficult if i had battery issues) Could not be more pleased

Modern

Purchased a week ago and am so happy we are now ready for hurricane season. Generator is very modern with three ways of starting. Manual, push button, or remote start provides convenience and adaptability. This is a well built system and runs smoothly.

Awesome Product

I originally had a diesel generator that could power my whole home in a power outage, this unit is not only has more wattage, but is insanely quiet. I couldn't believe when I first started it how quiet it was. Everything worked as it should, so far I am impressed with it, after I finish the break in period I will hook it up and give it a crack at powering the entire home.

Easy to Setup

Very happy with the way the 9500 set up. Owners manual was explicit and easy to follow. Fired up first try after quick charge to unit by equipped charger. Tested output to transfer switch. Performed as anticipated. Good value for homeowner. Price is right.

Westing House Generator

I have owned and operated Santa Elena's food truck for the past three years in Fort Collins CO. We started with the smaller IGEN4500 which was great until it was stolen. It was very reliable. However, we wanted more juice to be able to play with more toys and have a even more capacity for our business, we are so excited to have the solid reliability of the Westinghouse 9500!

Runs like a charm

Purchased this generator in anticipation of potential PG&E power shut-offs in California in an effort to prevent further wildfires. Had it installed just in time before the first one occurred. I was able to run our home refrigerator/freezer, home office and a few lights off it, perfectly with little interruption. The push button starter and remote on/off made things very easy to operate.

Looks and works awesome!

Just got this beautiful, powerful portable generator, for emergency backup incase of a power outage. A month ago our power went out for three days and we had to borrow a generator. It was an 8k generator and it kept up pretty good. After the power came back on we decided to purchase one ourselves. we chose the Westinghouse 9500 because it is reliable, powerful enough for our needs, and it looks good too.

What a beast!!

Purchased the first of September and it arrived 4 days later. This generator is well made and it started up with no hesitation! Although we currently don’t have an outage, It gives me peace of mind that this thing will do a fine job on our next outage!

Excellent Generator.

I just purchased this generator and i cant say enough about how pleased i am with this purchase. It was delivered with everything it was supposed to have. I was able to put the tires and front legs on with ease and in less than an hour. I filled it with oil and gas and hit the start button and it started right up.
