This item is heavy-duty and even feels SOLID as you handle it. Arrived in good packaging, with clear instructions for getting started quickly. Very minimal assembly and preparation required before use. Following the instructions I had it ready and running in about 30 minutes.

I bought this generator for a backup for my house in case of a power outage and also for potable power for my ranch. We live on the Texas gulf coast and from time to time we have a hurricane and power outage. This generator will keep my freezer and refrigerator going when there is no power. I also use the generator to run my welding machine at remote locations as well as my electric pole saw and chainsaw when I prune my trees out in the pasture. The remote start is handy when I am setting up to work on something I don't have to drop everything and go start the generator. I am very pleased with my generator.

I bought this a month and 1/2 ago because of the power it can provide us in running extra items it can run during power outages. We're in CA. and in a designated power shut down are due to high winds and general fire danger. The blackouts are projected to run up to five days. We feel more secure with the power backup.

I am highly satisfied with this terrific Westinghouse 9500 generator. The features are fantastic. I tested this machine out and it lived up to the advertisement and more. I'm telling all my friends who are in the market for a generator to be sure and purchase this one!!!

We purchased this generator almost a month ago and couldn't be happier with our decision. Living in Eastern NC, we experience hurricanes yearly, and we get the occasional winter snowstorm. We live out in the country and anytime any such storm is forecasted, its practically a guarantee we will lose power. In the past, these power losses have been anywhere from a few hours to several days. I have a 26-year-old special needs daughter who spends the majority of her life on the internet. Of course, no power...no internet, It doesn't take long before everyone is in a fowl mood. Also, if the outage extends more than a few days we lose 2 chect-type freezers full of food and everything in the refrigerator. Added to all of this, I, myself was put on oxygen by my doctors in July. Its something I will have to deal with for the rest of my life. As you can read, taking all of these circumstances into account made selecting a generator a very important decision. We did our homework and researched several different models and brands. After much deliberation, we decided on the Westinghouse WGen 9500. It met all of our needs and then some, It's big enough for the square footage of our house, and having the option of using the remote is truly a blessing, I don't want to have to go out in a storm at my age to pull start it, at 70 years old, it's not safe. We haven't had it a month yet but have already put it to the test. We took almost a direct hit from tropical storm Ophelia last weekend. We lost power before the storm even made landfall. Within minutes we were back up and running. Nobody got fussy without the internet, we had no loss of food and I was able to continue on my oxygen. This generator is definitely a lifesaver. We do have plans to have it hard wired to the house when finances permit but even using it with cords, we couldn't be happier. I would like to receive the cover to protect it. Thank you for making a fantastic product.

I decided to buy this about a week ago, we survived hurricane Beryl out here in Texas at my brother in laws house because we weren't prepared... he had this particular generator and was able to get it plugged into his breaker box and ran the whole house with it...one of the best investment I have ever done

I just bought this after the Texas winter storm of 2021 when our power was shut off for a week. The shipping was right away and it came just as advertised. I’ve got it all set up with a test run and ready for the next time we lose power so we don’t ever have to be without heat again!

Works great as a generator, some of the part locations are strange. But generator starts up easily and wheels and handle help with the weight. Had a frame issue out of box where wheel isnt flush but tilted and therefore rubs against the battery. Dont think I can hammer it out, will see if a longer pin and spacers make it work. Will see how Westinghouse handles this.

I bought 9500 generator for back up as our power has been failing frequently. The generator came quicker than I was told. Assembly was very easy and straightforward. After adding oil and gas it fired right up, I couldn't expect anymore. Very happy with purchase and hoping it holds up
