A beast for the money

This thing is an absolute monster for what I paid for it. I tested it on my 50 amp 35ft fifth wheel and it ran both Coleman Mach 13,500 BTU AC's without even thinking about it. Started right up on propane fuel source no problem. Plan on using it as a home back up with a transfer switch if it comes down to it, at least until I can afford to go with a stand-by system. We plan on taking this boon dock camping if we get the chance, just don't know how I am going to get it in the bed of my truck because it's a heavy boy.

Dual fuel and great reviews

Purchased after the latest storm/power outage & fighting to keep our old generator running. Purchased this one due to the overall rating & reviews. Assembly was pretty easy, only attaching the wheels & feet to the unit, adding oil & fuel to start up. I used propane for the initial start up as we didn't need to use it and I didn't want to leave unused fuel in for an undetermined amount of time. Unit is as described in the ads and is well made, started and powered my electric device with no issues. We will enjoy piece of mind knowing it is there when we need it in the future.

Easy set up, gives me peace of mind

While I haven't used this generator extensively, so far it's been great! It was very easy to set up and attach the wheel kit, the instructions and documentation were clear and thorough, and it fired right up and was powering our panel immediately. The noise level was exactly where it was rated and the remote start/stop worked flawlessly. One thing to note is that it is very heavy, but the wheel kit makes it easy to move around.

Looks Great - hope we never have to use it!

Bought this to replace the 16 year old one for emergency use during hurricane power outages. We selected this one due to the dual fuel option. We plan on using mostly propane - better for the environment. Easy minimal assembly. Started right up. Couple issues with manual - manual gives directions for connecting battery that are not for this one. Also, the electric start says engine will auto choke, but we had to put choke on for it to start. That was initial start, so maybe it will work auto later. The crank start worked right away. We ran it on propane. Haven't used it yet, and hope we don't have to, but it seems to be just what we need.

Extremely well built generator with dual fuel.

I bought this to replace an older generator that I could no longer start with the recoil pull starter. The ability to start this with a push of a button, either on the generator, or with the included key fob is amazing. It started right up after unboxing, and runs equally well on either gas or propane. Looking forward to using this for many years.

Awesome looks, features and performance!

I spent a year researching and finally came up with the WGen9500DFc and I don't think I will have any regrets. It took me all of 25 minutes to unload and set up. I did not fire it up immediately as it was nightfall and due to consideration for my neighbors. Bright and early the next day, I powered the device on, pressed the remote... waited for the predictable initial 'coughs', then voila.. the beast powered on. I can hardly wait for the next hurricane and power outage

Right Sized Propane Fuel

I needed a generator big enough to run 2 well pumps and some of the house hold during Cala-Unicornia outages. I don't want to mess with gasoline because here we have an ethanol blend that doesn't store well and they won't let us have a gas can with a spout that doesn't spill when you pour. I have so far only tested and it's going to do the job. I plan on connecting to house propane tank during extended outages.

Great Power, Fair Price

So far I've only needed to fire this up once, but it gave me no trouble in doing so. It ran fine for the few hours we needed on about a gallon and a half of perhaps 6-month old fuel with no complaints. Glad to have this in my arsenal. The ease of use and duel fuel are really what sold me on this.

First impressions are favorable for this generator

I took delivery yesterday. It was mostly assembled only requiring the mounting feet and wheels be installed. One of the mounting feet nuts is missing from the frame, so I will have to pick one up to complete that install. The wheels are well built and easy to install by use of a axle pin, washer, and cotter pin. I plugged in the battery charger and connected the battery. The manual says it ships charged and by the time I added the quart of oil, the battery charge light had changed from red to green. I connected my propane bottle to the regulator and used the remote for the first start. It took about 7 seconds of cranking to purge the propane line and start. I loaded the generator lightly by adding a 500W halogen light, a box fan, and a pancake air compressor. Don't forget to reset the GFCI plugs! I removed the loads after 10 minutes and allowed it to run unloaded for a few minutes and used the remote to stop the engine. I then restarted the engine using the pushbutton on the console. The engine started within 3 seconds. It takes a few seconds for the start button to illuminate solid and the dater center do turn on and display the voltage. You can then toggle through the displays. As other reviews have stated, this generator is quieter than others. It is comparable, but slightly louder than the the popular RV generators and certainly quieter than most portable generators. Delivery was fast with great updates and phone calls to ensure I was ready for the driver. It arrived a week earlier than originally promised. 15 to 20 minutes to set up an connect the propane and have it running is great. I am pleased so far with this selection.

So far, VERY happy.

I bought this as a backup generator as we seem to lose power at least once a year and my little 2k generator just isn't cutting it for the power I actually need. I like that it's dual fuel but I plan on using LP only as I hate having to do the maintenance with running gasoline engines. Right out of the box, the wheels and riser feet were simple to install. Followed the instruction manual to get it running ready, filled oil and started right up off a 30lb LP tank. While this will hopefully be used sparingly when the power is out, my review is based off an initial test run. I don't foresee this generator getting heavy use but I feel so much more comfortable having an option for power, when we lose ours in the increasing storm outages in our area. Next up is to build an outside housing, install a transfer switch and get a couple 100lb LP tanks and I should be more than ready for any lengthy outage. The remote start will become a nice feature at that point and my wife will even be able to get it up and running, if I weren't home to do so. If anything changes down the road, I'll update my review.
