Awesome Generator

I did a ton of research on generators before I bought this, and I am so glad I did. I am very happy with my decision to buy this one. It puts out clean power so I don't have to worry about my sensitive electronics, it has enough power to run my whole hose. I feels this is the best bang for the buck for sure.

Solid generator with great features

I bought this generator as a backup for a possible power outage at our home. The generator seems very solidly built and should serve us well. I was particularly impressed by the dual fuel functionality, which will provide multiple options for use of either gas or propane. The only thing that I was surprised about was that the unit did not come with pneumatic tires which I had expected because of its heavy weight. My only hope is that the plastic tire/wheel (never-flat) combination will provide good service without cracking and breaking. Only time will tell about that feature.

Well built

Admittedly, I haven't tried powering my entire house yet. I just received the generator and tested it with propane and a hair dryer. But it looks and feels solid. I plan on updating this review after having a chance to fully test the equipment though.

What a great generator!

I received the wgen12000df in a relatively short time after ordering. After initial setup, this thing fired right up. It had no problem powering everything I threw at it (all house led house lights, fridge, sump pump, fans, tv's, 3 ton ac unit, ect). I very impressed with how the generator maintains the 60 hz at various loads.

240 volts exactly

Ran the generator for about an hour before the 20 pound LP cylinder froze up. The temperature at the time was 26 degrees F and starting to snow. My intent is to set up the generator to be able to fuel it from the 500 gal LP Gas tank. I purchased it partially because it was the largest portable generator that specified less than/equal to 5% harmonic distortion. According to my electrical tester the generator produced 240 volts with each leg testing 119 volts. Lights, computers, wireless router, electric oven, TV, everything operated normally while being powered by the generator. The engine started on the second try after fuel reached the cylinders. I look forward to getting it installed as I planned. It performed as advertised and as expected, but admittedly for only an hour. It is not an issue for me because I live in a very rural area, but I would be concerned with how loud the generator was if I lived in an urban setting with a neighbor's house a few feet away. One request... more detail of how to read the dipstick. Should it be fully inserted before taking a measurement? Delivery through R&L Carriers was perfect.

WG12000DF for Home

I purchase this last week and received today. Everything came in great condition - shipper was 5 stars as well. Assembly was easy. Hooking up the negative cable on the battery took a few tools, but item came with some tools as well. The instructions says something about needing two persons, this has to do with getting the generator off the wooden crate it was sitting on. Well one person can do it, my solution was with small ramp from some scrap wood, probable the most difficult of the assy. Started up 1st try on gasoline per instructions, same with fob. I still have to test with propane (my propane 5 gal tank had rusted on to the past cable - soaking with WD-40). I will be wiring to house in couple weeks ahead with licensed electrician. But so far am very delighted.

Good & Strong

It's a strong & good running generator. Unfortunately the providing cranking batter is undersized and the one I received would not start the generator even after fully charging. Otherwise, it cranks great using a small Li-Ion jump pack. Will be contacting customer support.

Great value!

I just purchased this generator and I'm impressed with it's features. The generator arrived in perfect condition and was easy to set up. I had it up and running on a LP tank in about 15 minutes. I'm enjoying the piece of mind knowing that it'll be ready for the next power outage.

Power house full of features

Just bought this unit yesterday (4/2/2021). It was very well packaged in a heavy duty cardboard box strapped on a small pallet, with zero problems during transport. Spent about 20 minutes on the minor assembly required, reviewed start-up procedures, hooked up a propane bottle and was running with a push of a button. We live in Southeast Texas, have been through a few hurricanes and the most recent winter storm that caused power problems. We have had a much smaller gasoline generator and decided it was time for an upgrade. The running watts, dual fuel capabilities and numerous other features of this unit for the price is what sold us and we researched them all. We had an electrician install an interlock switch last fall, so we just plug the generator into the panel and feed the entire house with power.

Awesome Generator!

I purchased this generator because it was large enough to run our house including our 5 ton AC system all on propane! It came packed really well and it fired right up. The less than 5% THD was another reason I purchased this generator. Very pleased.
