We bought this generator a few years ago and have used it 10x. We live in CA in a high fire zone area and our power is always going out because of rolling blackouts. This bad boy starts every time!
Just received my generator. It does have shipping damage. The metal chassis is bent in a few places. Seems to start and run well. For the price you pay it is unfortunate that it's already damaged. I would recommend overall.
I started it today 5/1/23 with my key fob remote start and everything worked great. My electrician will wire to my fuse panel with outside plug to plug in generator to run NY 2000 sq ft house including my 3 ton air-conditioner on 5/9/23.
We have been having multiple-day power outages after the recent storms, and since we live in a rural area, are usually the last to get power restored. The most recent outage lasted over 7 days, which meant no water from our well pump (for showers, or toilets), or heat (our home got down to 54°). Having to go to a restaurant to use "the facilities" or get warmed up was just awful. I was determined not to go through that again, so I bought this generator after reading reviews and consulting an electrician to determine the size. The remote electric start is a blessing since I am not as capable as I used to be. This generator meets the needs of my entire house without breaking stride, runs reliably, and I feel relieved that I can count on having power when I need it. This is definitely a purchase every home owner should have considering our aging infrastructure.
Just picked up the WGen9500c. Has a lot of nice features and was easy to set up. Shipping box was in terrible condition but generator appeared ok with only a couple of small bumps. Only issue is gas gauge does not appear to function I am hoping Westinghouse resolves what should be a minor issue quickly.
