Easy start!

I bought this to replace a 20 year old 5,000 watt unit that was struggling to keep up with the load we wanted during power outages. The old unit was a real pain start up and ran unevenly. After setting this one up and starting it with the remote start fob, I am looking forward to having it for the next outage!

All I ever wanted in a portable generator

I purchased this generator in advance of hurricane season. I read all of the reviews on multiple platforms and chose this particular make and model to help us make it through any unforeseen power outages during the hurricane season along the gulf coast/Houston. When delivered, the assembly was very easy. The unit started up on the first push of the remote start. I am now ready for those problematic power outages. I will eventually have a certified electrician wire a transfer switch to my home breaker box. I have a smaller generator that I have used over the many years of named storms that have impacted Houston, but it just did not have enough juice to run many items during the power outages. Now with this beast and the smaller/older unit, I should be just fine. Highly recommend WGen9500.

Works Great!!!

I got this for storms and stuff like that. Haven't actually had a chance to use it but I've turned it on and let it run for awhile and plugged stuff up to it. Works as expected and look forward to using it not just for home but for outings as well.

WGen9500.

Kept the refrigerator running plus some lights using extension cords during the PG&E power shut downs. The only issue is that one of the 20 amp duplex outlets stopped working after just a few hours of operation so I need to get it fixed. Hope to eventually get it set up to hook up to the house through the 14-50 R outlet.

Awesome generator

This is the second unit I have purchased. The first was used on our food truck and was powerful enough to operated a fridge, microwave, and 3 commercial smoothie blenders, all without fail. It handled weather and cold conditions. I've purchased a second unit as a backup generator for our home. I'd recommend this unit.

Generator running

When it came in we open the box and pulled the generator out. After checking the generator over we add the oil, and did a precheck . We put some fuel in the tank and it started right up the frist time. We ran it with some power tools with no problem, and would work good for the house also.

Just what we were looking for!

After losing power for three days we bought this to hook up to our electrical panel during outages. Texas seems to be dealing with this more and more. The electrician added a plug to our electrical panel and the generator can run most of our house. Amazing and so comforting to feel prepared. Great machine, high powered, love the versatility of tri fuel, easy to use, highly recommend.

A lot of features

Little confusing with serial number having a sticker placed over plate with printed white sticker with serial number. Not 100% sure I have the right serial number listed. The owners manual was OK but a little different depending on which particular model you were assembling. I found the You-Tube Video of someone assembling this exact model and it addressed all my questions. Love this model so far.

hurricane safety

Having recently going thru a hurricane scare with Dorian we reliazed it was time to upgrade from our 5000 watt unit. We had our 9500 set up to supply the house power panel, now when we loose power we can supply nearly everything in the house including the charger for my oxygen concentrator. Really puts my mind at ease:-)

Will be a lifesaver

I just bought this after the Texas winter storm of 2021 when our power was shut off for a week. The shipping was right away and it came just as advertised. I've got it all set up with a test run and ready for the next time we lose power so we don't ever have to be without heat again!
