Bought through Lowes as a manually switched backup generator for our cabin. This unit had awesome reviews! Unit came with everything needed to startup and was a breeze to get running. Love the remote start feature! Am excited to use it for this winter.

What little setup needed comes with accessories and tools to complete the task. Not much I can say at this time as I have just received the unit. It is simple to set up and ready to use in less than 30 minutes. The user manual content is outstanding. Very readable and informative. My primary use for this generator is to be backup power when there is a power outage. I will update this review when I have the opportunity to put it to good use.

Great generator for the price. I needed something that was powerful enough to run my 3hp well pump and pressurized septic system during power outages. The generator is powerful enough to do that and more. The generator came undamaged and was super easy to assemble. It even came with the battery and the exact amount of motor oil needed. It fired up right away and ran great, it didn't even rev-up when I plugged in an angle grinder and turned it on.

Had not had a chance really test this generator until the tornados went through and we lost power for four days. Everything ran even the AC! Can not be happier. Used about 10 gallons of gas for a 24 hour period. We are now ready for hurricane season.

Bought this to use mainly as a home backup generator, but that I could also take camping or to a tailgate if I really needed to. This one excels at both! It can power the whole house and I can get it in the bed of my truck (with ramps). Highly recommend!!

This is my first generator so I was nervous I would struggle using a generator. I researched generators with a great value, user friendly, and reliable. I found Westinghouse WGen9500, which has been exactly what I was looking for. I can easily transport it without fear it'll break and get hours of power that can easily be started at the push of a button. The electric start is AWESOME! Highly recommend this generator.

Everything I expected and more!!! The only issue was the delivery. The box was roughed up a bit causing some scratches to the frame. It was raining when delivered and it was left hanging off the covered porch and got soaked. They even took a picture showing it was raining. So when I went to move it the cardboard was totally mushed. I had to open it right where it sat. Basically, I had to peel it open like a banana.

Unboxing and setup was simple. One gripe was that there wasn't enough oil supplied to properly fill the engine. The battery came charged and started the engine easily using both gas and propane. There was a small drip coming from the fuel petcock, but went away on its own without intervention. Lastly, there should be a standard equipped energy monitor in order to calculate the amount of wattage being used so you know how much more load the generator can handle. Over all I am pleased with this product. I will leave another review after I have properly broke it in.

No damages or imperfections right out of the box. Put the wheels, front pads and propane hose on in 15 min. I ran it at 3/4 load with propane for almost an hour. Ran perfect and the harmonic stayed around 61 with 248 volts constant. I was hooked up to the 50 amp plug then to a house connection I was able to separately run the oven/stove, washer, dryer and hot water tank. I didn't try the AC heat pump. it is 3.5 ton.

The generator arrived boxed and palletized. Unboxing showed no damage and assembly of the wheels and feet was simple. I filled the oil and gas tanks, but when I tried to start it with the push button start nothing happened. After several tries I gave up and started it manually it ran fine. I let it run for about 20 minutes thinking the battery needed charging, but that did not happen. I checked the battery connections and re-read all the instructions, but to no avail. Then I checked the wires that were tucked up under the control panel and saw two male/female connection wires held together with a zip tie and saw that that was the issue. Once connected, the generator started as it should with the push button. It would have been nice if this necessary connection was mentioned in the start-up instructions.
