Great features and not as noisy as I expected

I just took delivery of this generator after being faced with power outages almost 2 times a year so now I am connected to the whole house to feel more secure next time we lose power again I love the duel power availability ,so far I used the propane fuel source and the automatic start It fired up in 2 seconds! Good value compared to other brands in this wattage category. I would recommend to anyone looking for a generator to buy this one or brand name I believe it will perform well and assembling the wheels and the pad cushion feet took me less than 10 minutes without help from anyone very easy

East setup, no hassle break in period.

Follow the directions and the WGen 9500DF goes together quickly and easily. All directions are clear and easily understood. Battery was charged in 15 minutes. Filled with oil as directed, topped off with Ethanol-free gas, pressed the start button for 1 second and it started immediately. What's not to like? It is easily moved about, and the large tires get over gravel without bogging down. Break-in period was straight forward and without problems.

Top Quality Product

This generator is one of the finest in the market. With this product I feel equipped and ready for the winter. I was planning on purchasing a generator for the past 3-4 years. With this product, I made the investment without hesitation given the outstanding reviews. No regrets.

Easy to use, works as advertised

Exactly what we need to run the house when the power goes out. The wheels make moving to position easy; would be too heavy otherwise. Storms have become much more extreme and loss of power is more frequent. Hired an electrician to install the breaker, transfer switch and outside power outlet.

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK ON THE MARKET!!!

Picked up from the store, took it home, assembled quickly, hooked up a propane bottle and hit the remote. Fired right up!! Even forgot to choke it, but it fired right up. The only downside is, I had to go buy a quart of oil to top it off, no big deal. The oil that came with it is not quite enough.

Love the remote start

I bought this a while back to have on hand in case the power goes out again. I don’t use it often but every time I’ve needed it it started right up. It provides ample energy to keep the house warm and the food cold. It’s also very handy out on the edge of my property Where I don’t have electricity. I can roll it out and plug things in.

The Key Fob is a nice touch

I purchased this on 9/1/19 because I never want to go through what we did after Hurricane Florence. We were without power for 10 days which doesn't seem like a big deal except it is very hot and humid were we live and my wife ended up in the ER because of it. My criterion for a generator is one that can run everything especially the AC. I figured out what the draw of the AC is when it is running and with this generator, there is plenty of power to spare, also it has plenty of power to handle the AC start up. I originally thought about getting a Generac whole house system, but it cost more than I could afford. So for less than half of one of those systems, I bought the WGen9500DF, I also purchased a Suncast small shed, a 50 amp service and a mechanical lockout that prevents the generator feed breaker to be on at the same time as the main breaker which makes it perfectly legal in our state. No transfer switch to worry about and I can run anything in the house. I installed it and tested it using propane, the generator ran flawlessly and it ran everything including the AC. The only thing left to do is to modify the enclosure by adding ventilation through louvered screens and a box fan. See the pictures that I added.

A very versatile product for a decent price.

I am really pleased with the purchase of this generator. There are no others that I have found on the market with the features and versatility of the Wgen series. The remote start and backup ready features as well as the dual fuel capability were the features that I wanted the most. What I needed was the 50 amp outlet. I now have it all and more for a very affordable price.

Been Great so far!

Bought 2 months ago as we were moving to a rural area that apparently looses power a few times a year. Assembly instructions were clear and started up first try. Have not had to use during power outage yet, but been using to put some hours on it prior to really needing it. Love the dual fuel option!

Perfect unit for our needs

We bought this for storm protection but realize that I can use this for welding since I don't have the outlet to do this. The unit is not noisy so it won't annoy my neighbors who may be without power, or at least enough to run the A/C system. Easy to assemble and move around, and set up and break in operation was easy. I chose to use the LP option since I didn't want to put gasoline in it not being sure if I would be using this storm season.
