Stated right up

It has been installed for 1 day, and started up fine with the fob!, (the fob seems unnecessary since I need to manually plug it in first anyway.) It's only been 1 day so I'll see how it is after 3 years and some, hopefully not too many, power outages.

Initial Review

This review is part of a bonus for a free cover, however, I am impress with this unit so far. It seems very well built with detailed, easy to follow instructions. After much research I have decided to run this generator off my 100 gallon propane tank for emergency situations where I should be able to get roughly 2.5-3 days non stop use and propane is much cleaner for the motor. I mainly purchased this for the dual fuel option if I happen to ever run out of propane. I have not fired this up yet but my initial impression is that this is well built by a reputable company and with basic care and maintenance it will last for several years/decades.

Excellent Generator

This has been the perfect addition to our house. I immediately hooked it up to a 100 pound propane tank, added oil and it fired right up. Easy to set up the remote start. After high put some time on the running motor I will flip the breaker and see how well it run to my house.

GREAT REPUTATION

Purchase this unit a few days ago after owning a smaller unit that I have had for a few years. With the on going power outages I needed a larger unit to handle the loads living in a house with well water and septic system. I know this unit will last a long time

Easy Assemble

Bought this before the snow in the southeast. Unfortunately, it did not make it in time before the storm. But, we are ready for the next one. We are wired and ready to rumble Georgia Power can't maintain proper right of way so we lose power quite often. Glad to have something strong enough for my house.

Easy Peasy,setup but could use specific instructio

Although I haven't yet used this in a power outage, the generator was easy to unbox and set up. There were NO instructions on how to perform the break in, so I resorted to watching many YouTube videos...and kind of made it up as I went along. I can't wait to actually use it in an emergency.

Easy setup and plenty of power

We were able to setup and test the generator fairly easy. Both the remote and push start worked great. I bought this model to provide 50A to the house during blackouts to keep the furnace and lights going. Plenty of power for what I need. The build feels quality. Plenty of connections for many applications. This seemed like the best choice for my situation. I wanted some fuel life and needed 50A.

All The Features I Need

I recently purchased the WGen9500DF for home backup. I'm please with the features of remote start, electric start, dual fuel and very easy assembly (15 minutes). I also appreciate the small details of items like ball bearing wheels and high-quality rubber feet to help protect the generator.

Great features - starts in COLD Temps

Great machine! Highly recommended by my electrician. Ive had it for 2 months, ran break-in period, testing periog with electrician, and subsequent test after 1month. It starts and runs well with full load at temps below -5 degrees C. Charges battery when not inuse. Runs on gas and propane. Controls are straightforward and easy to operate. Easy to move around and position. I live in rural Quebec with cold winters and power outages, and I am very happy with this generator.

WGEN 9500 DF

I have always wanted a sizeable portable generator for back up power. I found this generator to be clean, compact, easy to set up and operate. Started right up and runs great with plenty of power. Very satisfied with this purchase. Very nice machine, easy to move around.
