Clean running on Propane

Purchased this last month for PG&E's PSPS. Used twice so far with no problems. I am running on propane only and am seeing 12 hours run time on a 30 pound propane tank. Just did my 25 hour oil change. Love the features and versatility. I did have to disconnect the neutral from ground in order to make it work with my house transfer switch but that was super easy to do.

very good generator

I like everything about this generator except one thing; I am running my entire house off this and so using the outlet to the far right it is almost impossible to plug-in the power cord that runs to the house because of the position of the plug. It is situated directly above the wheel in the cord that comes out of the plug that plugs into the generator does not clear the wheel. If they had rotated that outlet the plug would go in just fine without being obstructed by the wheel.

Perfect portable generator

Purchased this generator for the winter nor’easter season in coastal New England. Hooked up a propane tank from my grill, pressed one button and off it went. Ran steadily for a few hours to break in the engine and still have propane to spare. Love the remote so that I can start it from inside. Very heavy but very easy to move with the sturdy handle. Great portable generator!

Very modern, powerful generator for a good price

I bought this as a home power backup option with the freedom to take it out for powering future outdoor events etc. I haven't had a serious power outage yet to really put it through it's paces but where I live the power can potentially stay out for days. I did do some diligent testing though and was very impressed by it's ability to power pretty much my whole home at full blast, minus the electric cooking range and the electric dryer. And this was only using the 30A outlet and running on propane. Whole (4bdrm) home= propane force air furnace, 240v well pump, all lights, several computers, monitors, 40" plasma screen, etc. You will always have to do your own wattage calculations for your home. This generator feels very modern and cleanly designed. With the remote electric start, and how it auto restarts if it stops for any reason, these features make it feel like a modern sportscar where other generators I've used feel like a smelly rusty ol chevy. It's heavy but pretty easily maneuverable on wheels. Powerful, flexible, portable, and affordable, feels like a win to me.

Great Generator!!!

Lost power after Isaias and decided its time to put a stop to that!! A co-worker recommended this model and I couldn't be happier. Easy to put the wheels together, very securely packaging and most of all starts right up and runs great out of the box. Also noticed its very solidly built and not cheaply made. Now going to get a transfer switch installed and i'm all set to go for the next outage.

Great Generator

I bought this generator a month ago and I'm very happy about my purchase. This generator does a very good job because of the different possibilities of outlet. I bought it for the hurricanes season but I use it for now for my DIY tools. it's very very heavy that's why you need to put the wheels ASAP. .

Powerful 9500 Watt Generator. Great features.

Bought this 6 months ago and didn't really need it until now. Had been using the provided trickle-charger to keep it ready for use. Big storm came through and power was out for 72 hours. This unit powered all of my refrigerators and a freezer with ease. Electric start is essential once you reach my age and it worked perfectly. Also runs on propane. Comes with a hose to hook up directly to a standard tank. And it has a remote-start fob which should come in handy this winter. Very happy with this purchase so far.

Nice Generator

I bought this a little over a month ago, and it has already paid for itself. I was fortunate enough to have purchased this generator about 3 weeks before a major power outage in our area that lasted almost a full week. The generator started easily and quickly. And with 9,500 running watts, it was more than powerful enough to provide all the power we needed. We have teenage boys, so we keep alot of food on hand. If we hadn't had the generator when the power went off, we would have lost all of our food in our 2 chest freezers and our 3 refrigerators. The cost of the saved food was far greater than the cost of the generator itself. I am so glad we invested in it. Generators are like insurance...you feel like you are wasting your money until it is needed and saves the day. I have had other brands of generators in the past. This generator starts alot easier than the other brands, and runs quieter than those other brands...and it is 2,000 running watts bigger than they were. It is currently one of the best investments I have made in a long time.

WGen9500DF is tperfect preparation for emergencies

I bought the generator in preparation for the storm season in Texas coast area where I live and the coming winter so I’m not caught in a a terrible situation without power or heat and this one is great and has so many perks and options along with easy to use. Definitely recommend it and it’s a good affordable price for everything you get.

Just what I needed at a great price!

This is a very impressive generator with all the features I was looking for. The most important of these is the dual fuel ability, where I can use propane which doesn't go stale along with gasoline if I desire. Just what I needed out here in the country!
