Great so far

Purhased for backup power during power outages and for use in the shop to run my 220v welder and plasma cutter. Ran the plasma cutter off the 30 amp outlet for a while today without any problems. This is the first electric start generator I've had and i love it.

Best purchase I’ve made in years

I purchased this generator a year ago after a storm knocked out our power for several hours. I reviewed it as 5 stars then after unboxing it and doing a few trial runs on appliances but I’m here now to really boast this generator. I live in North East Ohio and on 8/6/24, a nasty storm rolled in and devastated our area and many surrounding. I pulled the generator out, plugged it in to the house and with ease, my entire house was powered. I will say, I don’t live in the biggest house, but I was able to power everything- all appliances, air conditioning, 2 fridge/freezer combos, stand up freezer, the list goes on and on. This generator ran from 6:30pm 8/6/24 until almost 7pm on 8/9/24 while only shutting it down to fill with gas. Out of the 72 hours we were without power, my product ran for about 70 of those. It consistently ran for 12 hr periods before refilling with fuel. I was skeptical about how long the product details stated it would run on a full tank but I’m here to verify it. Refilled twice a day and ran all day/night. Family of 4 (including 2 under 2yrs old) is extremely satisfied with this product. If anything were to ever happen to this generator, I would turn around and buy it again (or bigger). If I could leave a higher star rating to put this review at the top of the list, I would. I could go on and on about this product but I just wanted to share my story/experience with this generator this past week.

What a bargain. Perfect for our Rural lifestyle

We live in the middle of the woods. We had thought of going with a whole home generator. Talk about pricey for just a few times a year. We opted to go with one large enough to help if it happens. Super price and my hubby loves the remote start. No more sitting in the dark for us. This will make our life so much simpler. In between, I KNOW my hubby has other ideas on how to use it. Thanks

Extremely Versatile and Easy to Use

The most difficult thing about this generator is moving it when it's still in the box! After that it smooth sailing - easy to set up, use and maintain. The instructions are clear and there's a ton of great support videos on YouTube. Make sure to use a licensed electrician to set up your transfer equipment - be safe!

Looks Great!

The generator appears to be well built and sturdy. Even though the unit is large and heavy the handle for moving and the wheel assemblies are plenty heavy enough for easy location for the day that I need it for power loss situations at my home. Lastly, everything I will need to connect to my household natural gas system is included in the provided set up supplies as well.

Great so far

After the five hour break in using natural gas, we plugged the generator into our houses power inlet box and every thing worked great. With a soft starter added to our 3 ton AC this generator easily keeps up with the electric needs of our 1200 sqft house. Hopefully we're ready for the next storm or freeze.

Easy setup, started right up!

came as described. Packaging was sturdy, install and instructions were easy to follow. Once I put in oil and fuel, I hit the start button and generator fired right up. Bought this as upgrade to 22 year old smaller generator. Feel confident this new generator will provide plenty of power. Push button start is also a great feature.

Fantastic item. Easy to use. Fires right up

Our old generator was giving us grief so I read good reviews on this one and bought it. Easy to put on wheels and get it up and running. Had to try the dual fuels and both worked exceptionally well.. Key fob is attached to the pull start. Got it paired up but probably won't use as it is very easy to get running. The big wheels make it easy to roll across our graveled garage floor. Nice to know we have a reliable generator!

Life saver - even in Texas heat

Bought this as hurricane beryl wiped out power in our area. The Tri Fuel option is brilliant and so easy to use, managed to run a few days on Gasoline before getting the nat gas line installed. Generator is powering the whole house including one AC unit. I'd love to run both units but the 2nd one died on me, once repaired I'll come back and comment it both worked Changed the oil after 24 hours and glad we did. Particles were evident on draining as expected. Make sure to do this It's not the quietest generator but it's super cost effective and very very easy to use once properly installed. Zero complaints.

There when you need it

I purchased this WGen9500 generator a few weeks ago.I have done a fake drill power outage and this generator is capable of doing my house plus my well pump which I'm very happy for.I ran it for over an hour and no problems what so ever! I know they make bigger and smaller generators but this WGen9500 with peak of 12500 is just right size for my house and even got some spare power.Wonderful machine.
