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

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

Initial Review
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
****Initial review*** This is for the WGen9500 gas only model, arrived on a pallet, perfect! Think it depends on the who is delivering it though, they offered to take it off the pallet but I have pallet forks on my tractor so I told them to leave it. Shipping arrived about 4 days early, which was fine with me, I selected the drop off shipping vice the I want it on this day shipping. Once I got it in the garage, it was about a 15 min set up from cutting it out of the box to start up. Very easy set up, install wheels, install rubber feet, attach battery, add oil, program key fob, add gas. Fired up extremely fast for having an empty gas tank. I was really surprised at how fast it started up for being shipped dry. I ran it for about 30 mins, shut it down for about 45 mins while I did some other stuff, started it back up let it run for a bit then applied a small electrical load to it (mid size shop vac) let that run for 10-15 mins, then plugged in a fridge and let it run the fridge for a couple hours, barely even put a load on it. Noise... you couldnt stand over it and hold a normal conversation, or talk on the phone next to it, but its fairly quiet for the size. Generator produced around 80-90Db's according to my phone app. I could hear it running inside the house near the generator, but nothing annoying. Noise was zero in my bedroom on the opposite end of the house. Your noise will vary depending on a number of things, I plan on putting it in an enclosure, to help with noise outside the house as well as inside. I will say I could hold a normal conversation on my back porch with it running under load. You could hear it but it was quieter than a lawn mower running. Overall my first impression with this generator was its great. Reading the reviews on amazon I was expecting at least a dead battery, but this one was gtg right out of the box. I will be wiring in a sub panel to run ac, lights, internet etc during a hurricane or other power outage with this generator so this review will be updated in the future with more use! Build quality is good, seems like a solid generator. #fivestars ... show more

Great value

Review Image by Drewster
I recently purchased the Westinghouse WGen9500 generator, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations. As someone who lives in an area prone to power outages, having a dependable generator is crucial, and this model delivers on that front. Pros: 1. The WGen9500 provides ample power to run essential appliances and even larger items like my air conditioner without any issues. Its 9500 watts of running power and 12500 watts peak power are more than sufficient for my needs. 2. The electric start feature makes firing up the generator a breeze. It also has a recoil start as a backup, which is a nice touch. 3. With a large 6.6-gallon fuel tank, this generator can run for extended periods without the need for constant refueling. It's perfect for long outages or situations where you need power for an extended duration. 5. Westinghouse has a reputation for producing quality products, and this generator is no exception. It feels robust and well-built. Cons: Due to its size and power output, the WGen9500 is quite heavy, which can make it challenging to move around. I am glad it came with a set of wheels and a handle kit. Overall, the Westinghouse WGen9500 generator has become an invaluable addition to my household. Its reliability, power output, and ease of use make it well worth the investment, ensuring that I'm prepared for any unexpected power outage. ... show more

I bought this generator to replace my old/ outdated 15 year old generator. This new generator is much lighter in weight compared to the old one. The weight difference is noticeable as soon as you lift the handle to move it. The old was a 9,000 run and 10,000 peak with a 19hp engine. The new one is a 9,000 run and 12,500 peak with a 30hp engine. Even though the newer generator has a larger horsepower engine, it is much quieter than the old one by a considerable difference! The touch start and the remote start are both nice features but, the ol' pull start is there for back up (I wouldn't buy one without it). Although I haven't used it for a hurricane yet, I have used it to power my welding machine and it performs far better than the old one and will run for a solid 12 hours on a full tank. This generator also has a 30amp and 50 amp hookup on it. Overall, if your looking for a reliable generator that performs well without breaking the bank, I'd recommend this one. ... show more

Great Generator!!!!!!
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
I bought this generator to power up my entire house. It finally was put to the test this past Wednesday when hurricane Zeta rolled through New Orleans. This generator performed flawlessly and I’m 100% satisfied! I have smaller ones but this was great! I got me 100’ of 4 conductor 6 gauge SOOW cord and wired it into the 50amp breaker that was for my oven in my panel. So by doing this I couldn’t use my oven. But that’s a small price to pay! This unit ran the 4 ton central AC unit, lights, outlets, ceiling fans, floor fans, two side by side refrigerators, microwave, TV/internet, water heater, etc... Another perk is that the gas tank lasts for several hours. My smaller units never made it through the night!! I filled this tank up at 10pm and woke up at 7:30am and this baby still had a quarter tank left! I mean seriously you can’t beat that! Now when the main central unit kicked on the generator would bog down for maybe 1 second. Then it’d kick into high gear and power on through! As for the noise level it’s pretty much the same as the other portable units. Except for the Honda brand ones. I have a Honda EI2000 and its super quiet. But I’ll take the rumble for everything still running in the house! Since Wednesday at 4pm this generator has been running non-stop even as I write this review! More than satisfied by this purchase! The remote start up is a nice option too! Especially when the winds are blowing over 100mph+! When the power went down at 4pm I just clicked the start button on the fob and it fired right up. Just a word of caution to go by when you’re done using the generator. Make sure to run it out of gas to save you carburetor headaches! ... 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

Works great. Followed burn-in and would HIGHLY recommend
Style: 12500 Watts - Gas Only
I followed instructions here for burn in and the generator works exactly as described, and just what I needed. The power is spot on. Just make sure you follow others that have burn-in procedures and you will be fine. This is what I did from BOX open: 0) charge battery 1) assemble wheels, legs etc 2) add magnetic cap 3) remove spark plug drizzle oil and STP into cylinder 4) turn on battery 5) slowly pull cord 8-10 times to move oil into cylinder 6) fill with gas and turn on gas stop cock 7) start and run for 10 mins to heat up, stop and let cool 8) start and run for 45-90 mins stop and let cool fully 9) change oil, add STP 10) start and run for 15 mins to heat up, stop and let cool (hook up wattage meter) 11) start and run for 15 mins under light load, use lamp, and dyson heater, stop and let cool 12) start and run for 1-2 hours under med load, use lamp, dyson heater, heat gun, and hair dryer stop and let cool 13) hook up to house, start and run under house load for 2-3 hours, stop and let fully cool 14) change oil, add STP All is working GREAT. I have a Diesel 6500 Watt generator and I would highly recommend this GAS generator for your household backup. ... show more
