Hooked up to home using the 50A plug on generator, Twenty foot/ 50A extension cord, Reliance PBN50 power inlet box, 6 ga. THHN wires to 50A breaker with mechanical interlock switch in electric panel. Runs entire home with 4 ton AC. Now for the disclaimer. My 4 ton American Standard condenser is new and pulls less than 40 amps when compressor kicks in. If your condenser is old, or if you can hear it hitting hard when it starts, you may have to install a soft or hard start kit on the condensing unit. I have only tested this for about an hour but cycled the AC on and off a few times and the generator performed very well. I'm in Houston area and the temp was almost 90 with ridiculous humidity when I ran this test.

I purchased about a month ago because of the multiple fuel (gas, propane, natural gas), outlets (20, 30, 50 amps) and start options (pull cord, switch, key fob). Easy assembly and started right up. I hope I never need to use it but a great option to have!

Having a smaller generator and wanting a larger one I found all the features I was looking for in this product. All the Utube videos were positive and showed very good capabilities of this unit. Haven't used it yet but am certain it will not disappoint me.

Westinghouse WGen9500 Home Backup Portable Generator, 12500 Peak Watts This came well packaged and looking great right out of the box. Easy to put together and function. I was impressed with the quality of the materials used and attention to detail. The battery comes with a charger, but the battery was ready to go once I finished the quick start guide. Initially I hooked it up to a 20lb propane (LPG) tank, and it fired up on the first press of the start button. Disconnected the propane and put 2 gallons of gas in. Started up perfectly on the gasoline. I then plugged in a few power tools and it had plenty of power. Finally, with regard to noise level, this is a large generator that operates on average about 70-75 decibels about the equivalent of a lawn mower if you are standing next to it, as do most generators in this class. I could not be more pleased with this generator.

Was worried when I ordered it after reading reviews about damaged when received.Mine came in perfect condition.l was really happy with the packaging and delivery.Haven’t started it yet,I’m working on the hookup to the house.I’ll write back when I get it all hooked up.

My husband bought a used generator from a friend. As hurricane Milton approached, he found that it didn't work. Our friend lent us another one, but I wanted a new one. We luckily didn't need it for the hurricane, but I now have peace of mind that we have a new working generator!

This generator has it all. Comes with everything to get you going right out of the box. Very good quality, Remote start, you cant touch a similar generator for this price. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Thank You Westinghouse, and your local!

Because of the active 2020 hurricane season, I decided to add a generator to our hurricane preparedness to avoid a potential extended outage like the 2 weeks without power from hurricane Florence in 2016. I installed a 50 amp connector outside my garage which can be selected with a transfer switch inside the garage. This generator has a 50 amp 240 VAC connection which not all generators have (some only have 30 amp plugs which is very limiting) When I connected it to my home, I was able to run major loads like the refrigerator, a freezer, well pump and both of my home geothermal AC cooling systems for 5000 sq ft area plus lighting and other small loads. The unit didn’t seem to bog down or be challenged with the load profile. The unit setup and starting was easy and well documented in the literature. I like the many features built in to the generator and am very pleased with my purchase and feel better prepared for the next hurricane encounter in Wilmington,NC!

living in the backcountry of san diego we are subject to loss of electricity when there is a threat of wildfire. this is going to keep us in electric power no matter what the utility does to us. we have a 2700 square foot home with AC, well pump, booster pump and a mechanics setup in the 3 car garage and this generator is capable of keeping everything going. especially nice is the ability to watch tv into the night and simply shut down the generator with the remote rather than having to shlep outside in the dark and cold to manually shut it down.

Replacing a different brand pull start generator. wanted an electric start model, but they were too expensive at the time. I think this will work nicely with the amount of power it has to run more appliances in case of power outage. I live near the east coast, so we do get hurricanes quite a bit. Gives us a better level of readiness that we can keep fridge/freezer and other electrical items running.
