Kept us powered up for 6 days during a PG&E outage

We live in the country and depend on a well for a water supply for my wife and I and our animals. After 5 days without power I picked one of these up to get our well pump running again. Yay, running water. Once we had a water supply the electric water heater, fridge, lights, and internet were next. This generator kept us powered up and comfortable for the next 6 days. It started right up every morning and ran reliably and consistently all day long! THANK YOU!

Very capable generator

Have not had to use generator yet, but tried a practice run to see what the generator will run. We had hoped for lights,refrigerator, and small window A/C. We were very delighted that it was able to run everything we wanted. Starting generator was very easy. Also as a side note, we had already installed a separate box for generator and had shut off of main power so there is no back feed. Hopefully we won't have to ever use it during storms but good knowing we have a back up available.

"Runs well and Great auto choke"

I bot the WGen10500 and it ran perfect for a 30 hour break in, Unfortunately, it was stolen before I wrote down the serial #. So, I bot another but ordered the WGen9500. It's running now on natural gas for a break in period adding little loads gradually. Great running machine! The automatic choke is amazing. Thank You, Henry Boenning

Great All-Around Generator

Bought the WGen9500C a couple weeks ago and it's already served very well. Used it during a short power outage during a storm to power a few items in the house. Serves very well in my wood shop, which I have't been able to use for over a year without power to my shed. Look forward to using this generator even more throughout the year.

Portable Generator 9500/12,500

I purchased this a week ago and it arrived right on time. Set up was easy and clearly spelled out in the instruction booklet. I am pleased to have purchased this. It looks like a very sound unit. I use the chain for my garage to put the tires and feet on.

Ready for Hurricane Season

We purchased this generator after we had a transfer switch professionally installed. It will power the house, including our central AC, in the event of a prolonged power outage. Fingers crossed we will never need to use it, but knowing we have it in the garage ready to go gives great piece of mind.

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.

so far so good! arrived in excellent condition

Arrived in excellent condition. Using as a whole home backup generator to back up 3600sf, but I also plan to use it for power tools around the yard. I Have not used it yet because I have not had a dry day yet to start it and try it out and I am waiting on my electrician to install my outlet and interlock next week. I will update after install. My only concern is this generator is BONDED NEUTRAL, which basically means to me that I have to use It for one or the other without modifying the generator which is a concept I am still trying to get my head around since most generators advertise I can use it for both safely. I have to see how the install will go being that i will be using it for both purposes.

Well build looking great right out of the box

I exchanged the generator I bought as Hurricane back up to get this power house that will be able to run my central AC and still have spare power for other electric consumers. Love all the different outlets and especially the RV plug. I have not started it yet but I am sure it will not disappoint.
