First generator

I bought this last month after back to back storm outages and thankfully I haven’t had to use it yet for an outage. Since I have never dealt with a generator before, I appreciate the easy to understand instructions. I will be testing it soon so that I do know what to do when that next outage happens. I will update after that.

Sweet start

Got the dual fuel so I don’t have to worry about doing any carburetor problems or gas hassle. Took it out of the box stuck the wheels and feet on and hooked it up to propane. One touch of the fob (yes I love that it has a fob) and bam fast clean start up. It looks great and now not that I want the power to go out but I’m covered big time. I’ll be watching movies with the lights on and the fridge is covered too. I’m stoked about my new generator.

Great quality

Bought this generator receently to replace our 20yr old unit. Was received on time and very well package, no shipping damage. Added oil, hooked to propane tank, connected battery and she fired right up !! So nice to have electric start!! No more pulling the cord until your shoulder hurts , and the remote is a very nice feature! Unit seems well built, hopefully will last a long time.

WGen9500DF - perfect for us!

I wanted a generator that can run our home A/C and other essentials during a power outage. The WGen9500DF right out of the box started right up by using the remote. It had to crank a few seconds until fuel primed - then started up fast. I tried a few starts no issue, instant on. We bought the ST Switch with Smart Portable Automatic Transfer Technology and hooked it up for a test. Simulated a power outage and as advertised the generator immediately kicked on by itself and provided emergency power. We simulated a power restore and it transferred power power back to the utility. Buy this if it is large enough (check your needs). Excellent product! I can't tell you about reliability over the long term as it is new for us but it works well. We will get a soft start for our A/C to help things along.... I am a design in a nuclear powerplant and this back up generator is a slick home back up system that is affordable. The dual fuel option is also a nice feature.

Great generator

We were in the market for a generator that was capable of powering our home in the event of a power outage. This generator has all the features I was looking for and some I didn't know existed. The remote start is awesome and even works from inside the house with the generator in the back yard. I didn't expect that. Setup was simple. It started right up. No issues.

Very impressed so far

The unit came in perfect shape, not a scratch or dent. Basically just had to add oil and go. Started up with electric start with no issues. Only tested with minor load for an hour, as I just got the unit, but still was impressed with the easy assembly, good design, and immediate operation.

Easy assembly, feature rich!

I bought this unit as a backup to power my house. Great price and tons of features. I like that it is just push button automatic choke and everything because if someone in my household has to use it and isn't terribly familiar with how to start it it'll be incredibly easy. Having propane as a fuel option is awesome. The generator is much lighter than my predator version before this that had less wattage. I'm incredibly pleased with my purchase.

Great generator

I recently bought the 12500/9500 duel fuel generator for hurricane season and I love it. Arrived on time, very easy to set up and get running. The remote start and shut off is outstanding. I especially love that the battery has a disconnect for storage

Simple setup and love the dual fuel and remote

I'm going to use this as a whole house standby in case of storms. I like the dual fuel option, but my plan is to only use propane, so I stocked up on 4 spare 20lb tanks. Propane puts out slightly less power but lasts forever. The generator went together easily, just the feet and wheels needed assembly and of course oil fill and battery connection. It came with oil and a oil fill, very nice. I connected to propane with the included hose and regulator to my tank, pressed the start button and after just a second or two of cranking it fired right up (on propane no issues). This unit even with reduced power to 8500 watts is more than enough for the 30amp twist lock connector. My electrician comes next week to install a 30amp interlock, then i can try it out as a test. My amp measurements show short of my electric dryer it should power everything including my two split AC systems and oil fired burner with no problem. The remote is added bonus as I can start the unit from inside after switching the breaker panel over. I expect it will be very handy in bad weather.

Runs great and I love the remote start!

I just received the product and although it looked like it had been handled roughly, the item was packaged very well and sustained no damage. The instructions were very easy to read and implement. Generator started right up and ran beautifully. I will be putting it through the paces this weekend in the hot Texas weather.
