Easy Start

My husband purchased the 7500 and it worked great. He decided to sell that one and upgrade to the 9500. The generators are both excellent. The remote start is easy to do. It started right on up with the propane. We haven't put gas in it yet we didn't want it smelling like gas and have it sit even though we use the gas stabilizer. Would recommend this type of generator.

This generator has all of the features needed

I looked at many different generators and this unit has all of the features I was looking in a backup home generator. The wattage output, fuel choices, remote start, and 50 amp outlet will fit my needs perfectly. Unpacking and assembly was very easy, and the generator was up and running in no time.

Nice unit, hope it stays un-used.

Living 20 years in the hurricane zone, I have done without a generator. But now that I am with a wife and twin boys, I needed something. So I got this based on my boss's and a neighbor's recommendation, both of who already have the dual-fuel edition of this. assembled just fine, though a bit heavy. hopefully I won't need it, but its just fine out of the box.

lots of power for your $

I've only had it a few days, so it hasn't been put to the test.... yet. The 9500 running watts and a 50A circuit are plenty to keep the lights, refigerators (yeah we have 2) and even the central air running. Come winter if we lose power we'll be in even better shape. I've never met a portable generator that starts without the choke, till now. The remote start is awesome if I'm not home the wife just has to point the remote out the window if the need arises (obviously I'll have everything hooked up and the battery switch on prior) so in the event of, I don't know, a hurricane (like the one that just passed through this week) she doesn't need to go out in a downpour if I'm not here. I honestly wish it held some more gas, not that 6.6 gallons is small. As long as it runs through the night I'll be happy. I also like the handle, much sturdier than other generators. The large wheels give it enough ground clearance that I can pull it over a curb if neccessary. I'm looking forward to putting some load on it and seeing what it's got...... not that I want the power to go out, we'll find something else ;)

Great Portable Generator

I bought this portable generator to power my house in Texas during hurricane outages. The installation and set up were easy as the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Upon completion of the set up instructions the generator fired up first time using both the push button and remote start fob. I highly recommend this generator for homeowners.

Nice features

I bought the WGEN9500 to plug into my transfer box and run my whole house. I bought the unit in an emergency situation and have been unable to test it fully, however the amount of time that we ha e run it and in the limited capacity of use it performed very well.

nice generator

Nice generator, but wheel support had to be re-welded to support the wheels, still the wheel support needs to be more sturdy. shipping was awful, shipped in a normal shipping box with no support for the very heavy generator. as a result there were dents in the generator.

Flexible and Easy to Assemble

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this model. I like its flexibility - 3 ways to start and 3 options for fuel for a reasonable price. It arrived yesterday and I was able to assemble it myself (I am a 70 year old woman). It was fun! The instructions were clear and the packaging was well-designed.

Plumber recommended

I have set up gas lines for several of these generators and all of my customers have been very happy with the quality and performance of these generators. I just purchased one myself after the current storm and I am looking forward to using when we don't have power like we just did for 6 days.

No More Losing Food or Work

For some reason we have multiple power outages each year both in the summer and winter. We were tired of losing food every time, or having to keep buying bags of ice trying to save food while being miserable and sweaty in the summer. I also work from home often and if we don't have power, I can't work and don't get paid..bought this generator to take care of that, and after breaking it in and changing the oil it's at the ready. Came highly recommended from a few coworkers that bought the same one, and I can see why - especially love the built in charger port for the battery.
