I bought this generator in early September to operate my 5th wheel trailer. It has been doing a great job. We run the generator approximately 24 hours a day for two weeks following Hurricane Laura. The generator did well at running the majority of my electrical circuits. I run two A/C units (13.5amp & 15amp units) during the day and one overnight with no issues.
After Many years of intermittent power outages, four of which were extended (7 days or more), the latest being with Hurricane Laura, we bought this WGen9500 and I couldn't be more satisfied. Notes: Shipping / delivery personnel great. Carried (unbelievable considering it's weight) to my back porch and unboxed. Weight --yes, it is heavy. You probably want to have some help tipping it on side to put on wheels and legs Noise level - actually not too loud at all. I've run it at very end of back porch, and with entry door closed decibel level at least seems less than my lawn mower. Easy initial setup, excellent manual, perfect oil funnel furnished. Enough power, with discretion, to run everything we will want to make life much more comfortable with the next outage. Very simply, you can't go wrong with this generator.
I purchased a WGEN9500 online on 9/15/20. I was so impressed reading about the functions of the generator that I ordered a second one on 9/17/20. They were easy to assemble and push button start is just what we need as my wife and I are in our 70s and live in hurricane territory. Not looking forward to another hurricane, but it sure will be easier with the WGEN9500.
I just bought this after seeing all the great reviews all over the internet for it, plus it was one of the main ones my electrician recommended. It was easy to unpack and put the wheels on, pull handle already was attached. Now, ready for the next storm.
I got this product 2 days from the day I purchased it. Good price. Easy assembly, clear directions. Started right up. Haven't used it in an emergency yet, but hopefully it will be fine.
I bought this just recently after doing several comparisons and after speaking with and electrician who also recommended the Westinghouse generators. This machine is full of excellent features and although it's compact, everything you might need to get at to service is easily accessible. I was very impressed with the manual that came with it. It's well written and well laid out, something you don't come across too much these days. I bought this powerhouse because it will run my entire house, including my AC, although naturally I will be prudent about too many appliances starting up at once. I was also impressed that Westinghouse put the support phone number right there on the machine!
