Westinghouse12500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready, Gas Powered, CO Sensor

Amazon delivery was perfect, 2 guys from Amazon delivered the generator, very polite and loaded on a hand truck and put it in the garage where I wanted it, and I didn't even have to help. Amazon did a awesome job delivering. I then read through all the paperwork and then the assembly was really easy. It yook me longer to read through the manuals than assembly lol. I did the assembly 100% by myself. Some very important tips that you will not see in the instructions: take a razor blade/utility knife and cut about a half inch up from the floor around the entire bottom of the box (make sure the box is sitting in upright position) take your time and make sure you cut all the way through and then lift the entire box straight up off the generator. Flip that over and you will have a perfect box to throw all the trash into. Next tip: lift up on the side of the generator and put some scrap 2x4s or anything very sturdy and then let the generator rest on the blocks and then that gives you the height to install the legs on the bottom, when you are done that side move the blocks to the other side and Install the wheels effortlessly and you can do it if you don't have help. That's pretty much it, add the gas and oil. The owners manual and I would strongly recommend using non ethanol gas and also add a good fuel stabilizer to the non ethanol gas, unless you are using this generator once a month I would recommend the fuel stabilizer because most people if you are using this as emergency backup power could go months or even years without using the gas. I would strongly recommend also to start the generator every month or every few months and let it run for a while just to exercise it some, also should hook it to the house and put a load on it atleast once a year. Also be sure to leave the battery charger plugged in at all times to keep the battery charged or when you need the generator the battery may be dead and it won't start. I love how the battery charger is built into the generator, the previous generator I owned, I had to purchase a trickle charger and install it on the battery myself, so that's awesome. Another tip: do not use all of the oil they sent, keep an eye on the dipstick and add oil very slowly and it shouldn't quite take the whole bottle of oil, don't over fill it. I used the included 10w-30 but as recommended will switch to the synthetic 5w30 after oil change which I would recommend pretty quickly because there's a lot of metal shavings in the oil after the initial break in period. It fired right up with the push button and the key fob also worked great. It seems to run pretty smoothly so far. It is noisy but it's to be expected, nothing unusually loud for a generator. The generator seems to be built pretty solid and happy with the purchase, time will tell if it holds up, but I am definitely hoping it lasts. I shouldn't say it but kinda looking forward to the power going out so I can fire this thing up and make it feel like it was worth the purchase lol

I’ve had this exact model before and it runs fantastic. Noise is fairly minimal but it’s very durable. Definitely enough to keep a few rooms works with space heaters in the power goes out.For the price, it’s a great value!

Arrived in good condition, packing was protective, and all parts easy to find. It included the oil, funnel, and wrenches to assemble the wheels and leg stands. Very easy to assemble. The battery was charged and the generator started easily with the electric start. It has a fuel switch, which I turned off and ran the fuel out of the carburetor. I have not connected it to my house, but will update this review when it is connected.

This generator (model Westinghouse WGen9500c) was a surprise as it is very well made, and very sturdy. It started right up on the first try using the electric start button and first try using the remote. The remote worked extremely well and will come in very handy. Another nice surprise was all the printed information that gave detailed instructions, and descriptions. The generator came with a funnel, quart of oil, and all tools needed. The large size wheels were easy to mount as were the feet. Although the generator is heavy it was fairly easy to maneuver with the large wheels. We are in our 80's and thought we would have an issue moving it around but did not! So far we are very pleased with out purchase and based on the above info would recommend this generator. Hopefully it will provide extremely good service in the years to come.

Easy to assemble and was able to start as expected

Great quality products at a great price! All the power we need for our new food truck!

easy to use, has remote start, works good

This is a great generator at a reasonable price. It starts easily and delivers plenty of emergency power for most homes. A splitter extension cord can easily double the number of 120volt outlets by tapping the 240volt, 30 amp outlet. I love this machine and definitely recommend it for anyone that may need power for emergencies or in remote locations.
