Works like a charm

I bought this generator because the first one I had wasn’t cutting it I needed something with more power and this one definitely for the bill. I’m more than pleased with the performance and overall abilities of the WGen9500DF. Having a key fob is pretty doggone cool too!

Good generator

The generator works good. I am able to run my home's old central 3-ton AC, and more. I had an electrician put a 50 amp inlet to my breaker box. The only issue is that I need to use starter fluid (spray can) to get the engine to start when cold. I use the remote electric start and spray some fluid into the air filter when the engine starts turning over, and it starts. When warmed up it starts on its own. I like the fact that it comes with a battery charger. Every couple of months of storage you should charge the battery for 8 hours. I like the remote start. If I want, I can start and stop the generator from inside my house.

First impressions

We bought this generator after Beryl, in preparation for the next storm / outage. I like the features. I like that it is dual fuel. Tri-fuel seemed like overkill, and the third fuel is the least efficient and provides the least amount of wattage. We want it to be a temporary generator, but plan to have an electrician install an outlet that will allow us to plug it into our home for at least partial home coverage. First thing I noticed at the store. This thing is HEAVY. I mean real heavy. I'm no weakling, but my 21 yr old ex-high school middle linebacker son and I struggled to pick it up. Once it's assembled, moving it isn't super hard, but might be for a small woman or an elderly person. The good news is, it might be harder for thieves to simply carry off. I made sure to read the manual. Didn't want to screw it up. I attached the battery cable. I put in the provided 10W-30 oil. I even ran it for the recommended "No Load" break-in time. I put 1 gallon of fresh gasoline in it and just let it run dry. It ran for about 2 hours (with no load). The tank will hold 6.6 gallons of fuel. With average load, it is supposed to run about 8 hours on a full tank. Once everything was ready to go, I pressed the start button and it started up on the first try. There was a brief delay that worried me, but it started right up after that (about 2 seconds). This particular generator got pretty good reviews and had around a 4.5 start rating. I like the features it has. It seems well-made. I can only hope that it lasts for years to come.

What a great generator!

Generator came packaged extremely well. Everything was there, no missing parts. Followed the set up instructions and all went well. Fired up once gas got to the carb, and runs great. Switched between propane and gas a few times flawlessly. While the user manual has a few typos/misinformations, it is clear and understandable. I would recommend this generator to anyone.

High marks for this generator. It is well built and has many nice features that make it a great purchase. The push button / remote start feature is the best! Also the fact that it will run on propane or gasoline makes it very versatile. It has enough power to run a refrigerator, an air conditioner and numerous smaller items...lamps, fans etc. I would highly recommend this generator to anyone looking to have some peace of mind during an extended power outage

What can I say...it works as expected

After doing some research for an upgraded generator I purchased the WGen9500DF. I had a older 8K generator and we were looking for upgraded power after the last storm to ensure we can still use the stove and elec. water heater (as well as TVs, lights, etc) the next time. We upgraded the generator hook to 50AMP and wanted a generator to match. This is able to power our well pump, water heater, forced air oil furnace, elec stove top, and any light/TV in the house w/o breaking a sweat. It was delivered on time and was able to set it up in about 30 minutes. Started easily and ran w/o issue. FYI...Dont forget the small 'on switch' for the gas flow under the left side of the gas tank!

50amp controls the whole house

I first purchased the Wgen7500DF and worked like a charm, however, only had 30amp.... kept my eye out for this Wgen9500DF for a couple of months since everywhere was sold out... glad I waited... a few became available, purchased one, and within a week it was delivered right at my doorstep... its a beauty can't wait to turn it on

Easy and Flexible

Love the ease of use and dual fuel flexibility. Bought this 2 years ago after an extended power outtage and while we haven't had another, this unit has been helpful a few times in shorter outages. I love not having to keep gasoline on hand and being able to use a propane tank (whichare always on have for the grill and fire pit). But having the gasoline option for longer periods and more power is really nice.

Good so far

I bought this generator at a bargain.the shipping company was very good and quick considering the ice storms in the area.the generator was a little hard to start on propane hopefully that changes once the engine breaks in. Was in good condition when delivered.the only negative is the wheels the right one rubs on the battery box

Great product

Easy set up. Came a little later than the original shipping date and I was angry about that. Overall I'm satisfied with the product. I am currently in the break in stage with it and getting it registered for warranty. I have tried both the propane and gas at this time to be sure they would work. I would recommend buying this product unless you need it immediately. Don't buy this product if you are in a hurry for it.
