I've researched a lot of generators and for the price and features, this is the one. Connected to my breaker plug turned propane on, Generator started, first set. After warming the generator, I simulated a power failure. The generator handled 31/2 ton a/c and most everything else that was on. Microwave must only be used while a/c is off. I'm so glad I'm finally ready for these frequent Hurricane power outages we've had here. One other thing, this thing assembles so fast,very easy.

Bought in Dec 2019 to prepare for hurricane season. Also hired electrician to install interlock switch and transfer switch on house. Small hurricane side swiped us (hurricane Sally) and lost power. Time to remove from shipping box, hook up LP fuel source, plug into house only took 30 mins. Cranked in 2 pulls! Remember, I had to unpack it and use it for the first time. 30 mins was fast. Lots of power...ran 3 freezers, 2 refrigerators, all lights, tv, and small window mounted A/C. I absolutely recommend the generator.

I ordered this generator before realizing that it was listed as one of the top generators of 2020. Bonus point to ordering! Initial setup including wheels and oil was a breeze. While not listed in the manual, I ran the generator for an hour and changed the oil, as a break-in procedure. I'm a little disappointed that there is no auto-idle. But to be honest, it's likely going to be running at full throttle anyway. While the box it came in was a little rough, there was enough packaging to protect the unit. With that said, there were several chips in the paint and other imperfections. Additionally the battery was connected from the factory and was leaking/corroded around the negative battery terminal. Nothing that is a deal breaker, just disappointing. All-in-all I'm confident in my purchase and would recommend the generator to others that are looking for a backup generator for their house or RV.

The "set-up" to get the generator going is rather simple. The electrician walked me through the steps for operations, which paralleled the owners' manual. So far, I have had one test run which went smoothly, running all that we would need during a power outage. I read many reviews and at this juncture I would agree and am glad for this purchase.

Bought this 12 KW Generator to run the house. Being prepared for Hurricane season living here in the south, this product being name brand and full of the features needed, purchased due to great price, features, and name brand. Well built and sturdy. Great product.

I did extensive research and comparisons of many different different backup generators for my home, from small to large permanent installations. This unit will run off gas or propane, which might be a big deal when it matters. Push button or remote start might be a big plus for those that won’t like to tug on a rope. If I have to go outside to set it up, I’m already going to be wet or cold either way, but it’s cool. 12500 peak watts is a big deal as the built in inverter so I don’t have to worry about plugging in electronics (cell phones, laptops, etc.) With this unit, I also bought a 25’ long 30-amp , 250v power chord transfer switch (L14-30P) and a transfer switch (Tt-40 RV 30amp to L14-30P) as well as a “generator through the walk” transfer kit (WKPBN30) ( these three things give me a long extension cord designed to set the generator away from the house and I plug it into outside wall at the transfer box. Then I will have an 6 plug outlet inside the home. This is the perfect setup for the not so perfect storm that I hope I don’t have to use. I’ma contractor and buy a lot of generators for my guys (wholesale from another vendor) but this product is unique for its intended use and the price is absolutely right. Definitely a nice rig. You should be able to search the product numbers I listed above and get yourself ready. The transfer box is ready to install if you can drill holes.

Sold a 20 year old 4500 watt… The WGEN9500 seems as quiet, with a bigger tank and the same ease of starting. Test was a 1/2 hp compressor for 60 mins. The old gen would gun up when the compressor kicked on - the 9500 does not even notice. If you have an older generator.. now is the time to upgrade. I am not much of a prepper.. but let’s face it, if you can cover a day or two outage with a generator you will save your fridge, your hotel costs and - like this February maybe keep your pipes from freezing. That is why i doubled my old capability. These outages are getting a lot worse….

This thing is loud and the power it produces is "noisy" and not good for computers; even those connected to a UPS. My APC UPS(es ... plural) switched back and forth from battery to AC power. It is a good, easy to use generator and fine for emergency back-up, but not if you want to be able to work from home.

This generator is really nice! Very well packaged on a pallet so I was confident there was no damage from being in transit. Followed the simple quick start guide and it started on the very first try using propane...that way I did not have to drain gasoline after testing. Can't wait to use it for the next power outage.

Absolutely love this thing! It looks great, easy to set up even though the instructions are out of date, and can power 6 breakers in my home just fine. I cant believe these generators have a remote start Fob! Westinghouse best in the business doing it right! Worth every penny spent!
