I purchased this generator prior to hurricane season in case with loss power. Hurricane Ida hit our area and we lost power for 10 days. WGen9500 operated my entire 3000 square house except central air conditioning units with no problems. It ran continuously with no issues. I would highly recommend this unit.

I bought this Westinghouse Generator in May 2024 for use at our outdoor wedding. It Great features did what was expected: worked fabulous for my outdoor wedding all the music and lighting lasting the anticipated 12 hours. It has since provided me with electric on remote areas of my farm. I'm very happy to have made this investment. My only negative is the weight of the generator. Michele

I had only tested it so far. I shut main breaker off plugged generator in and had turned off all the breakers. I let it warm up, about 5min. Started to turn on breakers one at a time and all the lights came on my furnace kicked on and my fridge. The only thing I didn't turn on was my hot tub, although I'm sure it could handle it, it's not a necessity so I was not concerned

Bought generator about a month ago. Read instructions, assembled, added oil and gas, turned the choke and the ignition to “on”, moved outside of shop, hit the starter and she fired-up immediately! Very impressed with quality - not surprised though; I worked in the power plants for 34 years where all of our Westinghouse generators were known for their performance/stability. I’ve lived in Florida all of my life and this purchase was a great addition to my collection for hurricane season preparedness; as well as other various reasons for portable electricity. I highly recommend this unit!

I bought this as a backup power source but have used it for small projects around the farm and so far everything has been great. Push button and key fob start is a really nice feature. Dual fuel is also really convenient. I would definitely recommend.

I have only had the generator a couple of weeks, so I'm haven't needed it on an emergency basis. The generator was easy to assemble and after adding the oil with connecting the battery, the generator start right up. I started and run it with gasoline. I have had a chance to run it on propane as of yet. I have confidence that this will get me through storm and power outage types of emergencies.

Lost power second day after bringing it home, set up was straight forward and easy, started on first attempt. It plugged directly into our house after setting the manual transfer switch to correct position and ran as expected for 6 hours until power was restored.

I bought this a few weeks ago and I’m so glad we did! Our power went out during an ice storm and we were able to live comfortably for 48 hrs until our power was restored. I recommend this generator to anyone who is looking for an affordable and dependable generator.

I purchased this generator to hook up to our home, as a power backup. I had previously installed a 30amp breaker and outlet, to use our sons generator, which is rotting away in our shed. His generator is very difficult to pull start and unreliable. According to my wife, there was no way she would be able to start it, should I be hurt or unavailable. This is a wonderful step up. What I Like: It is VERY easy to start. Has a large push button start that activates the engine immediately. Has a remote start Key FOB that worked from our windowless basement, 12 feet down and 25 feet away from the generator. (It is where our electric panel is located.) Outside Noise level is acceptable, no louder than a log splitter or mower. After putting a gallon of gas in I tried to start it. It cranked, however did not start. Added another gallon of gas and we were, Off to the Races. Started & Worked Perfect. I disconnected the 'Bonded Neutral," since we are plugging directly to the house, and the house circuit box is grounded. Comes with all the accessories needed to get up and running including a Battery Charger! Did require a little more oil than provided. Very pleased with this purchase. We have a large home; well pumps, sewer pumps, circulating pump for tap water, outdoor wood burning furnace with underfloor heating installed, which requires additional water pumps. And of course refrigerators, furnace fan and lighting.This generator can easily handle the load. I do not think we will be washing and drying clothes during a power outage, so I am not considering that option. The manual was very helpful. It depicts exactly how to 'unbond the neutral,' on the generator. Very smart to have included both a 30amp & 50amp plugin on the generator. I can use our existing 30 amp outlet. I have run 6 gauge wire and will be hooking up a 50amp outlet..

We bought this to replace a manual start 5,000 watt Generac which we used with extension cords. It will connect to our box after the electrician installs the interlock and receptacle. We’re in the five hour break in period and it starts and runs as expected.
