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

Does It All

I purchased the WGEN9500df generator yesterday. It was easy to setup and get reedy to run. Hook up my propane tank and the generator fired up in just a couple seconds. The next day I put the generator on and powered up my house with it. I currently have a 30 amp plug but will be switching over to the 50 amp plug after I upgrade my breaker in my panel. Generator ran great with out any issues. I love the remote start button not that it is necessary but just a nice extra. I would highly recommend this generator to anyone as an alternative to a Generac or similar whole house unit.

Seems solid so far, a couple issues

Shipping was painless. Dropped off at my door. Only negatives were that the frame was scratched on the bottom from the cardboard coming apart and the generator getting dragged across the floor somewhere. Also, one of the holes that the wheel axle threads through had a small metal stub that made it impossible to slide the axle through. It took a bit of filing, but I removed it and it's fine. Generator seems good, not great, quality so far. Started right up and runs fine. Happy with my purchase.

Awesome generator

I bought this generator last month after we suffered through a snowstorm and as a result we were without power for a week. The machine is well made and very capable of running almost everything in my home (4,000 sq ft). Of course it cannot run all 240 but it will run A/C with the other circuits. We had an electrician wire a 50Amp plug to the electrical panel. We tested the generator using the 50Amp outlet and it worked perfectly. We had power on all circuits (240 were off). We turned on the A/C breaker and power stayed on. The true test will come when the next storm hits us and we’re out of power for several days. But I think we will be okay with this generator but time will tell. I rated it 4 star only because it has not been put through a real world test.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED BUT FUEL

I've dealt with extension cords all over the house to keep essential appliances running for several storms & it is so good to have this generator to power the essentials plus some nice to have things powered up! The remote start, electric start and dual fuel sure makes it a wonderful buy! They supplied everything too except fuel to get it up and going after I received it! Wonderful buy for me!!

Great features

Very straightforward usage. Unit was not as loud as I was expecting so that was a perk. Runs smooth, and remote start worked great. I do wish though that the battery connection was a little longer or in a different location. To have it directly in front of the oil fill location was a bit annoying. However if that’s the worst of this machine then I say I’ve made a great choice.

Great generator, would recommend

We bought this generator last month as an upgrade to our old Cat 5500. We are installing a transfer switch on our house and needed more power. This thing is great - remote start, electric start, dual fuel - it has all the bells and whistles and runs smoothly and quieter than the last one we had. Great product - would recommend to anyone looking to updgrade.

So far so good.

It was recommended by the electrician who installed the transfer switch on my panel. My only issue was it would not start when it first arrived. The customer service guy told me that they recommend using the manual start the first time to “purge the system.” That seemed unlikely, but when I manually choked it, it did start. I think the issue was the push button start was not choking it automatically like it’s supposed to. I’ll see what happens next time I do a cold start.

So happy with my purchase!

Admittedly, I'm still in the break-in period, so I haven't put it to the full test yet. It starts like a champ though. Assembly was super easy. I did change out the wheels because I don't like the foam ones it comes with, they're no good for anything. I had them ready to go when it was delivered, so I just put them on instead. I had a little difficulty finding the right fitting to connect it to my 150lb propane tank, but that's sorted now. I gotta say, I'm actually looking forward to the power going out so I can run this beast!

Just got it

I have only had gas generators in the past for Hurricane outages so I am looking forward to propane capability as we have a 50 gallon tank. This should be able to run our whole house AC (heat pump) with most everything else off but that will still be a plus. Once I have had a chance to try it out I will try to leave another review.
