    • Great Generator
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
Ran this for 5 hours straight to break in the motor. I thought I ordered dual fuel but turns out it’s gas only. Got as a gift for my hubby. He loves it. He said it’s nice because it is light enough he can still pick it up and put in the bed of his truck. He ordered all the parts to wire in to our main panel. Important to have a lock out switch in this application allowing only the main breaker on or the generator breaker on, never both and never fed through a home outlet. Run 6 gauge wire from panel to twist lock outlet and the use an appropriate cord from your 50 A slot on the generator to the new outlet you wired outside your house from the panel. This is a powerful generator and can be used as we are for backup power for the house as well. Tank holds 6.6 gallons and after 5 hours still had 3/4 tank. Based on that I would expect 16-20 hours backup on a tank depending on usage demand. The remote start is cool but the machine has to be in the on position to operate by remote. Not sure but leaving on for standby seems it would drain the battery. Correct me if I am wrong. Great addition for North West winters and job-site power. Be sure to not get too excited and fire up before adding the included oil and be sure to turn on the fuel valve. I like that there is a removable filter screen in the gas tank. Wheels and supports assemble in minutes! Buying a 40 gal tank to add to my 5 - 5 gallon cans to keep more fuel on hand. This will allow me to have 65 gallons backup to a topped off 6.6 generator tank. That could net over 200 hours of run time! Over a week!!! Not wishing for a power outage but will be cool to test this hulk out. ... show more

    • ... looking forward for the next power outage
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
Easy setup. Heavy duty, well made machine. Started in two seconds with one touch of the remote. For an 80 year old with heart problems, I am so grateful for the easy start. It is a bit loud; but, I plan to build a sound dampening house for it. Just got it today and looking forward for the next power outage, (which we have too many of in the Pacific Northwest). Thanks Westinghouse and Amazon for the great service. ... show more

    • Build quality seems quite good much better than am older Generac I had for many years gave to my son
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
I ordered a one with packaging damage and since it is so heavy and hard to handle basically a forklift item around 200lbs I expected some minor damage as was the case (shipping box was shredded & was not crated with any wood or Styrofoam and acceptable based on what I bought and price which was all easily tweaked to make it look new. Wheels were solid (I hated by pneumatic old Generac ones) & not hard to assemble (I greased the shafts but the wheels came with pairs of sealed ball bearings a big plus) and came with a spark plug tools and combo wrench for the shock mount feet bracket bolts which I Loctited. Simply filling the crankcase with 1.16 qts of 10W-30 oil and plugging the easy harness for the battery together was quick. I like the main breaker and logical order of the controls. Battery 2A charger was included and works. The feature of the push button electronic start (has pull start also) and start/ stop FOB is a gigantic upgrade from the very old Generac I had (that was only pull start and had engine common issue of valve spring retainers (replaced with automotive style thick solid stamped steep cup style cracked as it got heated up running full blast building fencing idle CTRL bypassed and idle control burnt out which was $$, idle solenoid was weak and vibrated so had was not strong enough to hold idle). Anyway this Westinghouse gas only model is made (assembled?) in USA Alabama IIRC which was a but plus. Gas tank capacity is good @ 6.6 Gal IIRC. The large fuel filler cap and screen and tank guage is large and much better than my very old one integrated with the cheesy cap. ... show more

    • easy setup and breakin process
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
plenty of documentation came with this so setup and breakin process was easy. having the meter right on the panel makes it nice to see power usage/availability is good to know running hours for maintenance schedule down the road. it feels like it is a bit loud but 70-80db is allowed for my area and that is standing pretty close to it. much less further away and fairly quiet from in the house. ... show more

    • Westinghouse makes a Work Horse!!
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
Review Image by e=mc2

July 2023 I purchased this generator mainly for when the power goes out to run the essential systems because of my wife's health issues. Once the generator was delivered, I unboxed it and did the minor assembly in under 10 minutes with the wrench provided. Then I read through the Westinghouse manual ( please read your manual there is some really good information on understanding your generator because not all generators are not created equal) I charged the battery provided, added the Westinghouse oil provided , double checked the spark plug again with the tool provided. Westinghouse has a cool little tool kit in a branded tool pouch! For my first start I used the pull start, It started right up with no problem. It plugged right into my newly installed 50 amp inlet box and I did a critical system check. This Westinghouse WGEN9500 worked awesome! I could not be happier with my purchase. Since I will be running it outside I also purchased the Westinghouse WGenTent Generator Running Cover for Open Frame Generators. Fits perfectly! After I shut the generator down and let it cool, I wiped it down with a dry cloth to get any outside dust off of it before I put it in the shed. I know I will be able to rely on the little 457cc work horse for many years to come. I even gave my generator a name "Elektro" Westinghouse diehards will know the name. The quality is very admirable, it is a beautifully designed generator. I did my research on line and Westinghouse in particular was highly rated and you get a lot of generator for the money. For the price Westinghouse does not skimp on their product and you can't go wrong owning the WGEN9500. April 2025 It has been almost 2 years since I purchased this generator. This past weekend we had bad storms, power out. Plugged this generator into the house receptacle for 50 amp service that I installed so it would feed directly into the main electrical box. It ran my whole house for 2 days. It actually ran all the 110 I turned off all the 220 and 240 which was central air and water heater. It ran the heat and internet all the lights and televisions. We only turned on what we needed and on the 6.6 gallon gas tank it ran for 12 hours at a time. We may have gotten a little more out of it but I didn't want to run it dry. I am just so happy with this purchase, it really is a work horse!! Store you generator correctly trickle charge the battery and your good to go. ... show more

    • Excellent Value, Incredible Performance Totally Satisfied!
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
I purchased this unit to be a back up during rolling brown outs by the state or emergency situations where the power would go out and i needed a backup solution for my home. I have installed appropriate components to connected this unit to my home and it ran my entire home with no issues --- refrigerators, lights, computers, televisions etc. -- all at once. I did not test my air conditioner and assume that would overload the 50 AMP circuit i installed, but i certainly could turn off things and I am confident that this unit will run my air conditioner in my 2,400 sq. ft. home with no problems. I am very impressed and would recommend the unit or another like unit from Westinghouse. I did call for support and the team was available after normal business hours and they were very helpful. It fires up with the electronic ignition no problems and utilizing the pull start it will fire up on the second to third pull. I am using the 50 AMP outlet to feed my home. For the money spent this was a great insurance policy to save food, have lights and run other peripherals around the house like internet, computers and televisions simultaneously. If i were to have a small gripe, it would be that the unit is rather loud - at least 70+ decibels is my guess and I believe the manual specifications state that it is around 70, so I am not shocked, but it is a bit loud. Inside the house with the windows closed, its not that much of an issue and a small trade-off in an emergency situation. The gas tank is large and does not seem to consume fuel too rapidly, but i openly will admit i have not run the unit more than one hour because I have not faced an emergency situation yet. ... show more

    • Heat and Power when I needed it!!
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
Life saver! Let me set the stage. I’m an older, single woman living rurally and found myself without power too many days already this winter. I bought this generator because I needed a powerhouse model to support the house since I work from home and am dead in the water without power. I was initially a little intimidated when this 300lb monster arrived. But when the county cut the power to repair lines (without advance notice), I put on my big girl panties and dug in. Intimidation was COMPLETELY unnecessary. I had this puppy set up in under 10 min. The only thing I needed to do was put the wheels on (insert bolt - slide key pin on) and use 4 screws for the two legs. That’s it! I put the oil in (that was provided) using the funnel included and added fuel. Turned it on and was off and running. No adjustments, no fiddling, no complicated steps. I grabbed my extension cords (still handy from outdoor Christmas lights) and proceeded to plug in. Here’s where I was stalled. It looked like there was an inside seal blocking the outlets. I thought maybe it was a shipping thing, to protect against particles getting into the outlet. I couldn’t find anything in the manual though. So I called the 800 customer service line (on a holiday). Got a real person right away, explained my concern, and he said not to worry. Just push the plugs in for the first time with a little extra pressure. So I did and had power and (most important at this point) heat!! I had the generator running for about 8 hours. It is loud, but much more quiet than I expected and totally livable. I had it in about 30ft from my front door, and could still hear the radio just fine and talk on the phone. Wowsa! I have the remote start which worked like a dream. I will have an electrician wire this with a transfer switch so it cuts in automatically, but until then, easy as you can imagine to use! The handle and wheels makes it easy to move around, not too heavy to manage. I’m so excited and relieved, really relieved, to have this generator. My neighbors are envious that I got one big enough to power everything, and I’m glad I did. I don’t have to pick and choose or worry about not having enough power. My recommendation- get as much as you can so during the power outages, when there’s already stress, that’s one less thing to think about! ... show more
