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.

Excellent Generator

Very sturdy and well built. Was easy to assemble and get running. I had it wired into my home power panel and it runs the entire house with ease. The first time I started it, I filled it with unleaded gasoline, turned the choke to the on position, flipped the start switch to the ON position and pressed the start button, it started immediately and adjusted the choke back down on it's own as it ran. It has many excellent features. I am very satisfied with it and glad that I purchased it.

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 start so far

Generator delivered this morning. Came in excellent condition. Followed setup steps, added oil. Ran a startup cycle before adding fuel. Figured this would get oil circulating. Added gas and it started right up. Runs very smooth. I really like the push button start and the remote will perhaps save that late night trip outside to power down when commercial power is restored. So far, overly impressed with the 9500 DF

Great Features!

I mainly bought this generator to do some welding where I'm not able to plug into the grid and for the occasional power outage. I went with this one for the wattage but also all the extra plugs and accessories that you can run on this machine. Being able to run gas or Propane with a flip of a switch is extremely handy if you are out of either gas at a given time. 3 different ways to start the engine is also nice. Very versatile generator with lots of power to handy small to big loads. It's also very beautiful with the black and blue!

Very impressed with WGen9500DF

Arrived on time in perfect shape. Setup and assembly was a snap. Documentation for unit very thorough and well-done and inclusive. Great features. Love that this generator is smaller, but more powerful, than my old generator. Performs as advertised.

Excellent Value

I have been searching for a portable generator for a few years now since we were without power a few years ago for a week in Mid December, due to a cold winter ice storm in Michigan. I borrowed a friends 5000W Honda generator and got us through it some what painlessly. He has offered to sell me it but a 25 year old Honda still fetches a hefty price. I wanted a brand name and larger than 5000W. They are all expensive and not getting any cheaper. I just happened on this one and after a thorough search, discovered that it was selling for a very fair price. It is exactly what I was looking for. Got here very quickly, with the box and equipment all in excellent shape. Every thing was there, and what little assembly I encountered was quick and simple. I have only gotten to fire it up and run a few pieces of tools and equipment in the garage for a test, and it has worked flawlessly. When I get my electrical renovation and upgrades done I am looking forward to plugging it in and letting it rip. It will easily handle every thing I deem critical in my home plus plenty of room for additional add ons.

Easy Setup

I bought this in August of 2022. I am pretty proud of myself for picking this model out all on my own. Set it up before hurricane Ian came through but ended up not needing it thank God! If I can figure out how to set this up anyone can! I will update this review if I ever have the need to use it.

Simple and all inclusive!

From hurricanes to freezes, living in Texas requires a back-up power system. Bought the 9500 for it's power output and flexible fuel source. Was very pleased that it came complete from oil and wrenches to butane connection hose. No need to buy or modify anything. That's becoming very rare in a most products! Instructions are clear and helpful.

Great generator!

This generator is easy to set up and use. It has plenty of power, runs most of our household needs with no problem. And huge added bonus to the model is the remote start. I wasn't sure how much I'd use it at first but I have used it alot, it's very convenient not to have to run outside to turn it off and on!
