Living in Florida requires that you have a portable generator! Hurricanes come, Power goes. We had a generator but it was one with a pull start which got more difficult as we age. After research we determined that this Westinghouse 9500/12000 was perfect for us, it has an electric starter and gives us more than needed power. As seniors we are truly grateful that we can now have reliable emergency power without the painful physical effort required to start the old pull generator.This Westinghouse Electric start portable generator is truly the only one seniors should have for emergencies.
I bought this a few weeks ago and finally got a chance to try it out. It works great. I love the remote start. Can run 50 amps for my house and large fifth wheel.
The WGen9500 is powerful enough to power almost everything in my house but light enough to easily move outside when I need it, Already scheduled an electrician to install a transfer switch so I don't have to hassle with extension cords.
I bought this generator through amazon Oct, of 2020. Was only used when power to our house would go out, so I have less than 20 hours on it. Generator started running bad found the inside carb stud was broken in half with the threaded part still in the head. Called Westinghouseabout the 3 year warranty wont cover the work. My opinion bad workmanship por quality of parts.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
