Looks good so far!

This is our first generator, after a lot of research we decided on the Westinghouse WGen9500. It feels/looks well built and the basic assembly was very simple. Love the features and the remote start. Excited to have it, hope we don't have to use it! (Florida)

Easy to manuver and start.

I have not had a chance to put the generator to the real test yet but it was easy to put together out of the box. It starts with the greatest of ease and is not all that noisy for a generator that size. My neighbors cannot believe its foot print is as small as it is. I purchased this unit in case of hurricanes and hope I never have to really put it through its paces. It is almost like buying an insurance policy!

Awesome Generator

I bought this generator to power my house in the event of power-outages. Just received delivery of the unit on Friday, Oct 22nd and already fired it up. This generator provides enough amps/watts to power my entire house (about 1800 sq/ft) - AC, Furnace, Tankless Hotwater, fridge, oven, washer/dryer... the list goes on.

Affordable and easy to use whole house generator

I bought this in November of 2020. Finally had a chance to use it. When power was out the other day, it lit my house up, my air conditioning and tv's. It was simple to operate and ran nicely till the power came back on. Would highly recommend as an alternative to more expensive permanent units. I can wheel it to my porch and easily plug it in

Very Dependable

I bought this just in time for our first power outage.Prep was super easy and started up on first try. This generator is full of features and full of power. Do yourself a favor and make this purchase before you need it.Remember how much food you threw away last time right?

Lots of Power

Pros: Easily Powers our whole house (accept for HVAC system) well pump, water heater, 3 refrigerators, lights, tv....etc. ; reasonably priced; electric start; many recepticle options. Cons: loud (but it never claims to be a Quiet Generator) ; the 50 amp recepticle is positioned directly over the tire. Most HUGE 50A cords that plug in at a 90° angle will not plug in without removing the tire. (See pictures) Overall, it is exactly as advertised and we are happy with it.

Easy to start up

The generator did not hesitate to start running following the start button. Manual directions are easy to follow. I added a soft start adaptor to the A/C compressor to reduce the AMPS to prevent the generator from flipping the breaker every time the A/C compressor turned on. The AMP reducer would not have been necessary if I had purchased an upgrade, but it is to heavy to maneuver.

WGen9500

I bought the product three weeks ago and it was easy to assemble. It fired up on the first try. Have not connected anything to it because I didn’t get the power cord with it. I contacted Westinghouse and their customer service was great. Hopefully I’ll be getting the power soon and putting this beast to the test. More to come….

So Far So Good

Picked up unit yesterday and put it together last night. Started right up and runs great. Put a circular saw on it for a small load test and unit barely even grunted. Runs a little bit loud. I thought it had the idle control feature but apparently it does not. A minor issue, but it would be nice if it had it. Overall very pleased so far! Unit looks very well made and runs like a champ.

WGen9500

Living in Florida I purchased this generator to run my home in case we get another hurricane like "Irma". It will run my 3 ton14 seer air conditioner, refrigerator, fans, tv, dish washer, washing machine, stove. Not all at the same time. It's easy to move around with the handle. I'm a 68 year young woman and I installed the wheels and feet myself.
