Great Generator

I've been wanting a standby generator for years but way too spendy! This one fit the bill for my home and the wattage that I need. It arrived on time, no troubles. After I put it together and filled it with oil, it started right up. I hooked it up to some heaters and a vacuum and ran it for an hour with no problems. The big test will be when the power goes off again and where I live, that is quite often. Overall, a very nice generator and I love the controls and the remote start. Very well built!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This generator all features combined and no compromise.It ran perfect on first try.
My only complaint is that stock is very limited so if you find one buy quickly before its gone.

I bought this a month ago. Used it once when we experienced the power outage. It is powerful enough for my needs.
I like the indicator showing Voltage, Frequency and Time used. Looking forward to get warning about needed preventive maintenance at preset hours, seems to be very clever cost/damage saving feature.

I also like automatic choke very much, as it was always dicey to explain to my wife how to operate the old generator with manual choke.
Not sure what the gas consumption would be with light load vs. full load, there is no description of this in manual (my old Generac was able to switch to low output).
It does not have any oil filter, which I think is a serious omission for such large 13.5HP engine, it would certainly prolong engine life.
I wish it had come with the advertised remote control. Needless to say that Westinghouse promised to send me one, since it was missing in original shipment.

Did the job

I learned that I needed a new breaker box service panel and decided to have a manual transfer switch installed at the same time. I purchases the WGen 9500 for backup power to the house in the event of a power outage. The recent Kincade fire in Sonoma Co. CA caused the utility to shut down power to our area for several days. The Wgen9500 generator was used for several hours each day to warm up the house and to keep food cold/frozen in the fridge. The push-button starter feature is really nice and saves some time and labor, although I did start it with the pull-starter just to see how it would do (started easily). An excellent product. The only improvement I'd recommend on it is to beef up the muffler and make it a bit quieter so that the neighbors aren't annoyed.
