Review: Westinghouse makes a Work Horse!! - July 2023 I purchased this generator mainly for when the power goes out to run the essential systems because of my wife's health issues. Once the generator was delivered, I unboxed it and did the minor assembly in under 10 minutes with the wrench provided. Then I read through the Westinghouse manual ( please read your manual there is some really good information on understanding your generator because not all generators are not created equal) I charged the battery provided, added the Westinghouse oil provided , double checked the spark plug again with the tool provided. Westinghouse has a cool little tool kit in a branded tool pouch! For my first start I used the pull start, It started right up with no problem. It plugged right into my newly installed 50 amp inlet box and I did a critical system check. This Westinghouse WGEN9500 worked awesome! I could not be happier with my purchase. Since I will be running it outside I also purchased the Westinghouse WGenTent Generator Running Cover for Open Frame Generators. Fits perfectly! After I shut the generator down and let it cool, I wiped it down with a dry cloth to get any outside dust off of it before I put it in the shed. I know I will be able to rely on the little 457cc work horse for many years to come. I even gave my generator a name "Elektro" Westinghouse diehards will know the name. The quality is very admirable, it is a beautifully designed generator. I did my research on line and Westinghouse in particular was highly rated and you get a lot of generator for the money. For the price Westinghouse does not skimp on their product and you can't go wrong owning the WGEN9500. April 2025 It has been almost 2 years since I purchased this generator. This past weekend we had bad storms, power out. Plugged this generator into the house receptacle for 50 amp service that I installed so it would feed directly into the main electrical box. It ran my whole house for 2 days. It actually ran all the 110 I turned off all the 220 and 240 which was central air and water heater. It ran the heat and internet all the lights and televisions. We only turned on what we needed and on the 6.6 gallon gas tank it ran for 12 hours at a time. We may have gotten a little more out of it but I didn't want to run it dry. I am just so happy with this purchase, it really is a work horse!! Store you generator correctly trickle charge the battery and your good to go. Review: Good product - Arrived in good condition. So far so good. Will see how it goes when winter hits and we put it to real use. Appreciate the remote start feature. ## Features - 9500 Running Watts and 12500 Peak Watts; Remote Start with Included Key Fob, Electric and Recoil Start; Up to 12 Hours of Run Time on a 6.6 Gallon Fuel Tank with Fuel Gauge - Features Two GFCI 120V 5–20R 20A Standard Household Receptacle, One Transfer Switch Ready 120V L14-30R 30A, One RV Ready 120/240V 14–50R 50A, and Two 5V USB Ports; All Outlets Have Rubber Covers for Added Safety - Powered by a Heavy Duty 457cc Westinghouse 4-Stroke OHV Engine Featuring a Long-Lasting Cast Iron Sleeve with Automatic Low Oil Shutdown and Digital Hour Meter - Plug-and-Play: Comes with a Remote Start Key Fob, 12V Battery Charger, Oil, an Oil Funnel, a Tool Kit, and a User’s Manual to Get You Started Right Out of the Box (Minimal Assembly Required) - All Westinghouse Portable Generators are Functionally Tested in the Factory and May Contain Minimum Residual Oil and/or Fuel Odor; EPA Compliant; Backed by 3-Year Limited Service, Labor, and Parts Coverage with Nationwide Customer Service Network ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HYWDS7D | | Additional Features | Automatic Voltage Regulation, Electric Start, Fuel Gauge, Hour Meter | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,842 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #44 in Outdoor Generators | | Brand | Westinghouse | | Brand Name | Westinghouse | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,341 Reviews | | Engine Displacement | 457 cubic centimeters | | Engine Power Maximum | 12.5 KW | | Engine Type | 4 Stroke | | Frequency | 60 hertz | | Fuel Type | Gasoline | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00853544008199 | | Ignition System Type | electric start | | Included Components | Battery Charger, Engine Oil & Funnel, Key FOB, Owner's Manual, Quick-Start Guide, Warranty | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 27.2"L x 26.1"W x 26.5"H | | Item Type Name | Open Frame Generators | | Item Weight | 220 pounds | | Manufacturer | Westinghouse | | Manufacturer Part Number | WGen9500 | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | Open Frame Generators | | Model Number | WGen9500 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Output Wattage | 9500 | | Power Source | Fuel Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Residential | | Running Wattage | 9500 watts | | Runtime | 12 hours | | Starting Wattage | 12500 watts | | Tank Volume | 6.6 gallons | | Total Power Outlets | 8 | | UPC | 853544008199 | | Voltage | 120 volts | | Warranty Description | 3 Year Limited Warranty | | Wattage | 12500 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Westinghouse - **Fuel Type:** Gasoline - **Included Components:** Battery Charger, Engine Oil & Funnel, Key FOB, Owner's Manual, Quick-Start Guide, Warranty - **Item Weight:** 220 pounds - **Output Wattage:** 9500 - **Power Source:** Fuel Powered - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Residential - **Special Feature:** Automatic Voltage Regulation, Electric Start, Fuel Gauge, Hour Meter - **Voltage:** 120 volts - **Wattage:** 12500 watts ## Images ![Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready 30A & 50A Outlets, Gas Powered - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kgBF4u-DL.jpg) ![Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready 30A & 50A Outlets, Gas Powered - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cgMzjmdUL.jpg) ![Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready 30A & 50A Outlets, Gas Powered - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91aNrvtXB6L.jpg) ![Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready 30A & 50A Outlets, Gas Powered - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eSypXaEuL.jpg) ![Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready 30A & 50A Outlets, Gas Powered - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qiYR+j-YL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Thd rating -- specs indicate up to 23% thd. can this high thd damage the tv, laptop, iphone charger?** A: Don't let the THD bother you too much. Most electronics (and all good electronics) are built with filters and voltage regulators to keep the signal clean for the internal electronics. I have never had an issue with THD from portable generators for 1-5 days of backup power (hurricanes, etc.). Only thing I ever seen a problem from was a little UPS that did not like the dirty power. .. 95% of typical items won't care about 20% THD. **Q: Where can you set up generator during rain or snow?** A: https://www.amazon.com/GenTent-Generator-Tent-Running-Cover/dp/B0088EVIR4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=Gentent&qid=1614372293&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyTVdRQk0wM1lLQjYmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1OTY5ODBISlZVTUdOVzlHVTkmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDAwNTE3MzM2NzVXVDVESFYyTlMmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl **Q: Where is the location of the 50 AMP Plug on shipping generators -I see it in different locations on different pictures?** A: The 50 amp plug is the far right plug. It is directly above the wheel so had to order something like a1 inch extender plug so the heavy extension cord I use would clear the wheel **Q: Is wgen9500 dual fuel?** A: There are 2 versions. The one labeled DF at the end is dual fuel. So, WGEN9500DF is the dual fuel model. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Westinghouse makes a Work Horse!! *by E***2 on July 26, 2023* July 2023 I purchased this generator mainly for when the power goes out to run the essential systems because of my wife's health issues.

Will see how it goes when winter hits and we put it to real use. Appreciate the remote start feature. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Initial Review *by J***D on May 14, 2020* ****Initial review*** This is for the WGen9500 gas only model, arrived on a pallet, perfect! Think it depends on the who is delivering it though, they offered to take it off the pallet but I have pallet forks on my tractor so I told them to leave it. Shipping arrived about 4 days early, which was fine with me, I selected the drop off shipping vice the I want it on this day shipping. Once I got it in the garage, it was about a 15 min set up from cutting it out of the box to start up. Very easy set up, install wheels, install rubber feet, attach battery, add oil, program key fob, add gas. Fired up extremely fast for having an empty gas tank. I was really surprised at how fast it started up for being shipped dry. I ran it for about 30 mins, shut it down for about 45 mins while I did some other stuff, started it back up let it run for a bit then applied a small electrical load to it (mid size shop vac) let that run for 10-15 mins, then plugged in a fridge and let it run the fridge for a couple hours, barely even put a load on it. Noise... you couldnt stand over it and hold a normal conversation, or talk on the phone next to it, but its fairly quiet for the size. Generator produced around 80-90Db's according to my phone app. I could hear it running inside the house near the generator, but nothing annoying. Noise was zero in my bedroom on the opposite end of the house. Your noise will vary depending on a number of things, I plan on putting it in an enclosure, to help with noise outside the house as well as inside. I will say I could hold a normal conversation on my back porch with it running under load. You could hear it but it was quieter than a lawn mower running. Overall my first impression with this generator was its great. Reading the reviews on amazon I was expecting at least a dead battery, but this one was gtg right out of the box. I will be wiring in a sub panel to run ac, lights, internet etc during a hurricane or other power outage with this generator so this review will be updated in the future with more use! Build quality is good, seems like a solid generator. #fivestars ## Frequently Bought Together - Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 12500 Peak Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready 30A & 50A Outlets, Gas Powered - Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment WGen Generator Cover - Universal Fit For Portable Generators Up to 9500 Rated Watts - Westinghouse WGenTent Generator Running Cover for Open Frame Generators,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/96868583-westinghouse-outdoor-power-equipment-12500-peak-watt-home-backup-portable](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/96868583-westinghouse-outdoor-power-equipment-12500-peak-watt-home-backup-portable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
