So the generator purrs like a kitten. Overall it is not that loud. I have it about 20 feet from my house and you can barely hear it inside. It looks pretty, as if that matters, and has a lot of hookups to connect multiple size connections. The push button start, remote start and manual start are all great to have. Push button makes it so easy to start.
I have not tested it with a load yet as our power has not gone out, nor have I had it at a job site yet, but so far I give this generator 5 stars. I gave it 4 for portability because of its weight, but honestly all generators are heavy so not really a big deal. Wheels certainly help.
Having a back up generator is a must, especially if you live in an area where the power company may shut off power incase of wild fires.
As I was looking for a generator, the Westinghouse Wgen9500 portable generator peaked my intestest.
It had plenty of great reviews online and it’s very simple to use.
After I purchased mine, I had to install the wheels and mounting stand. Add oil and gasoline. Then I fired it up!
I tested it out by running an industrial 24 inch fan, a 10,000 BTU portable AC and a 5,000 Lumin flood light. All of the items were plugged in and ran flawlessly. The generator had no issue running. I would say that the generator does get quite loud, however if the whole block is out, I’m sure your neighbors would be doing the same by running their generators.
The generator itself is very nice looking, and is fairly a good size that can be stored in a shed or inside of a garage without taking too much space.
Overall, I have no complaints so far.
This generator even has a push to start and wireless remote start.
This review is coming from someone who has never owned or dealt with any other portable gas generators.
