Stated right up

It has been installed for 1 day, and started up fine with the fob!, (the fob seems unnecessary since I need to manually plug it in first anyway.) It's only been 1 day so I'll see how it is after 3 years and some, hopefully not too many, power outages.

Good Features - Good Size

I purchased this in December 2020. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy to assemble it was. It only took about 15 Min. The handle makes it easy to move around. I have used it a few times since. Every time it has started on the first try. (I am using gas but I have a tank of propane on hand) The ability to use either gas or propane was one of the reasons I chose this unit. I use it to power my home during blackouts, and it has handled the load with out a problem. It has many other good features also. Overall I am very happy with the performance of this unit.

Amazing Generator

So far this generator has been absolutely amazing, tested it out today when it arrived on the house and then I also tested it with my welder and plasma cutter. this thing handles a load without you even noticing you are getting the power from a generator. would absolutely recommend to anyone that is looking for piece of mind during hurricane season or is looking for a job site unit for running tools and equipment. also a lot quieter than others that I have owned

Powerful Gen

We used this on our off-grid property in 8 degree weather! It ran like a charm through the night. The set-up was easy. The dual fuel option will prove to be beneficial as fuel cost change! Battery, quickstart, remote start, low oil shutoff and fuel guage big plus. Guages easy to read and consistent running power. Looking forward to longevity with our new generator!

3rd time is a charm

Had to return my first for a bent front control panel, the second because it wouldn't start (fuel delivery problem), my third started right up like a champ and was able to run a couple days ago when we had a power failure. It didn't like trying to run my 3ton central air unit by itself (it's circuit breaker blew, not sure the issue here) but was able to run 2 refrigerators, 1 freezer, 2 wall air conditioners, 2 tv's, internet, microwave and some lights at the same time through my reliance 310A transfer switch. I will try to see why my 30 amp main fuses never have tripped with my AC but this generator's does?

Hurrican Ready Now

This years hurrican season is estimated to be a busy one (2020). I bought this generator after researching generators and found this model to have the features I was looking for. It is dual fuel and has enough watts to run everything we'll need during a power outage.

Solidly built generator

Heavy, well built generator. The dual fuel capability was the main selling point, it was very easy to set up. The owner's manual was easy to follow but it needs a revision concerning the remote start key fob - pairing was not needed (worked right out of the box!).

So easy!

I bought this for an upcoming storm. I am an old 70 year old woman that is unable to start a pull start generator. This starts with a push button or key fob and works like a charm! It's a little difficult for me to wheel it around but once I get it set into a shelter of some sort, it will be perfect. I'm so happy with my purchase!

My Review for WGen9500DF

I could not be more pleased with this generator. Before purchase, I was concerned whether or not it would provide ample power for my 2 hp well pump. After I extended my propane line, my electrician was able to wire my breaker panel to accommodate my generator. I was very happy that, it was able to power my entire house, as well as my well pump. It really does the job. I would recommend that someone contemplating purchase, would view the excellent YouTube videos describing unpacking, installing wheels, adding oil etc. before contacting electrician. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.

Hoping it lives up to the reviews.

Bought this Thanksgiving weekend. Initial delivery company had an accident with their truck, so it had to be transferred to another company for delivery which slowed the delivery process by about three weeks. We actually received the generator the first week of January. The weather had turned extremely cold, so we were happy to get the unit as there was snow predicted. The second delivery company, once the unit was scheduled, was great. Assembly instructions were simple and straightforward, and the unit started up immediately. As the temperature dropped to the teens, the unit was slower to start, but did start. I can appreciate the remote start, but haven’t had the opportunity to use it yet. We did run it for the recommended break in time with a very light load. The trickle charger included for the battery is a fantastic idea! Luckily, we did not lose power when the snow came, but I feel sure this unit would be just what we need with plenty of power. We have kept generators for years as we live in a rural mountainous area and power outages can last for days in deep snows. We will keep this one maintained as recommended and hopefully get many years use of it as we have with others in the past.
