Simple to use and a life saver

I happened to make the purchase literally a week before a storm hit Houston and I subsequently lost power. I was able to very quickly set this up and get the essentials up and running. Working off natural gas, I've been running my large fridge, internet modem, tv, work essentials, and a 9000 BTU portable air conditioner. Did my first oil change after 25 hours (took a literal 5 minutes) and everything has been running incredibly smoothly. Highly recommend.

WGen9500c Generator

This is my first purchase of a generator after many times of power outages in the past. Very happy with the amount of of things I can power at the same time. It is not too bad with the noise when it is running and the remote start is a bonus. Very happy with purchase so far.

Well built product

Superior built product, sturdy unit and performed better than my previous generator. Haven't put it to 'the test' (of driving my home during power outage) yet, but I feel confident, just by unboxing and assembling the unit as to the care that was used when building the product.

Big Unit

The unit looks well built and strong. It was very easy to assemble. I added gas and followed the instructions and it started on the first try. I let it run for about a half hour without any load letting the engine wear in. I was very surprised at how quiet this unit is given it's size, but to compare, my pressure washer is louder. I haven't used it yet but I will update when I do

Easy to Assemble

I just received the WG9500. I was most pleased with how simple the assembly was. I can't say I look forward to using it as it is during terrible hurricanes, but am most confident that it will take care of me and my family whenever the situation arises.

Great features and Size for Home Backup power

I bought this item because of features: remote & electric start and transfer switch ready to replace 23 year old smaller model. Day after assembled/set up was huge storm which knocked out power for 9 hours. Generator worked great. 12500 Peak Watts and 9500 Rated Watts and Up To 12 Hour Run Time is just what we needed. What a relief to have.

Great features and more power.

I purchased this item after much research into generators. It seems like every time we get a storm lately the power goes out. I have a well so that means I lose water along with everything else. I am having a 50amp plug installed and a switch so that I can run my whole house. No more worries about power going out.

WGen9500c for my 50 amp 5th wheel RV!

I bought this generator about 2 months ago. It was super easy to assemble the wheels and foot stops. The instructions are very easy to follow. The unit comes with the exact amount of oil needed. The unit started right up with the electric start button and then again with the remote. I started EVERYTHING in my 5th wheel and the generator did really well. I have two huge A/Cs, a full size fridge, full size microwave, electric water heater, water pump, electric fire place and a few appliances (such as vacumn, coffee). I just added some fuel stabilizer just in case since I won't be using it as often. Last thing, I'm currently at about 5,000+ feet above sea level. The instructions say I may need a kit for high altitude, but I haven't needed it yet. The generator is slightly louder than I would like, but I found it to be the quietest in the market that can produce this much power. The generator is also heavy, so I posted a picture of how I put it in my RV.

Very pleased.

I'm very please with this generator. Although I've never had to use it, I do start it monthly and run it for 20 minutes or so. It's never let me down. It's always started and run perfectly. I hope I never have to really use it in an emergency situation but I have no doubt it will preform perfectly. It's vey heavy and extremely well built. It'll last me a lifetime.

User Friendly Operation!

After our recent power outage and finding my old generator was suffering from an engine failure, I was motivated to purchase a new generator. This unit was recommended by my step father for it's electric and remote start features. He has been impressed by it's power output and ease of use so without hesitation I purchased the same generator and quickly got it wired up. I now have peace of mind that if we are to lose power when I am at work my wife can quickly get it running at the push of a button and the flip of a switch!
