Has Everything

Bought this generator to power my entire house, including the AC, when we lose power. Which happens more than I’d like to say. Works great and also the added bonus of battery start and remote start, aids in starting and shutting down from inside the house. Highly recommended

Easy to assemble and provides great power

We purchased this generator because we need one with enough power to meet our hurricane and storm interruption needs. So far, it looks as though it will meet our expectations. It is quite easy to move around which is a plus when you are dealing with storms.

Designed with the consumer in mind.

Well thought out design for a generator. Comes with built in gas shutoff valve and battery quick disconnect, great for long term storage. Comes with a remote-control key for starting and stopping of motor. Comes with an oil funnel designed to fit machine. Single fuel power for simplicity. Comes with a parts list to make easier to buying replacement parts.

Great machine for the money

After assembly and fuel and oil, turned on ignition switch, fuel valve, and plugged in battery, set choke and used pull starter. It started first pull. Tried electric start and key fob all worked well. Turned on breaker switch and tried power tools all worked, I am very happy with this 9500/12500 Make sure your oil is full, the oil shipped is not enough to fill the engine completely!

Easy to use generator!

Great generator. It was very easy to take out of the box and get up and running. I really like the remote start keyfob. My wife will finally be able to run it when I am not home. The gas gauge is easy to read. The best thing about the generator is that it is quiet compared to my old generator. Hate to say it but maybe the power needs to go out for a little bit so I can put it through its paces.

Looks like a wonderful machine.

I just received this unit a few days ago but wow what a beautiful unit. I expect great things from it. I took off the standard front legs and installed casters to make it easier to move around. I called today to buy a 50A transfer switch kit (item number 210076) only to be told the they no longer sell them. Bummer. Would have been nice to have their switch to go with my generator.

Great Generator, WOW !!!

I purchased this generator after lots of research. I had to wait almost 3 months, after I got the cables and plugins installed to use it on my house, for a power outage. We had power out after a 60 mile an hour wind storm, and it performed beautifully. I am so impressed with how it is so well heavy duty built. The controls are simple, love that it has a gas shutoff and electric start. I had the entire house on it except the hot water heater, then shut off a few things to allow the water to get hot then removed it from the load. The integrated handle makes it easy to move around with its big wheels. The large 6.6 gallon gas tank allows it to run all day. I've had three other generators and this one is by far the best and last I will ever own... Thanks

Powerful, Immediate Startup and Running

Living in Florida, I've had several major-brand generators (Grac, Hon, Champ) and this Westinghouse tops them all. The auto-start, auto-choke are great features and the multiple outputs ensure compatibility anywhere, anytime. I use this with a transfer switch to power most of our home during outages. The 12500 starting amps is spot on and the fuel consumption guidance is true. If you load it up, you will go through some gas but "big blue" will not leave you out in the cold. This thing is a work horse!

I hope it gives me no trouble It came with some da

The frame was bent in a couple of places but the generator didn't seem to have any damage. I read the startup and had no problem with it starting right up. I put a small load on it with no problem. Everything looks good so far, generator came with all the stuff they said. I would have given it 5 stars except for the frame damage.

Great features!

Just got it and very excited to use it and see how much of my house it will run since we have all electrical appliances. Very nice out of the box, easy to assemble and very nice looking. Remote, push button start and 50 amp capability are my favorite features. I have no doubt it is going to be a great addition to our back up power system.
