Leaking fuel

2nd time using the generator. I followed gasoline startup procedure, turned the fuel selector knob to allow for gasoline operation, fuel starts poring down into the engine and appears to be coming out in several places. Obviously I can't use it now since it is a fire hazard. Very disappointed since it is only 2 months old.

Worked Great-Beast

I bought this about a year ago, had not needed till Hurricane Milton. We had no power for 3 days, this generator ran flawlessly. I have a 3500 sq foot house and could run both AC units with all other regular house items. I could turn off a unit to run other big items if needed. I ran extension cords to neighbors so they could power there fridges and small items. Did exactly what I needed and cost a fraction of what a few neighbors paid for generac stand by units.

Love it after a year!

Purchased this generator July 2022. I have used it several times when the power was out. So far I have only ran it off of propane, which is what I intend to do unless I get in a situation where I run out of propane and need the generator in a pinch. I would then consider running on gasoline. Normally though I intend to only use propane because I don't want to deal with gasoline carbs gumming up. Seems to have plenty of power. We run the house A/C, 2 refrigerators, 1 deep freeze, and other appliances on. I think the A/C is a 4 ton OLD unit so it draws about 15 amps / 240V and the generator handles it fine. It grunts a little right when a heavy load is placed on it but they will all do that. I run my electric hot water heater as well, no problems.

Well built machine

I bought 12000 DF last week got it delivered 5 days earlier than expected which was a bonus. It took all of ten minutes to put the wheels and feet pegs on plus the oil. Once that was done it was time to put some gas in the tank and fired right up. Have not tried propane run yet as I don't have any yet. Would highly recommend this generator.

Hope not to use it but will be ready if I do

There is a lot packed into this unit. This is a heavy duty unit from what I can tell. Initial impressions: Pros: It's duel fuel, which was the primary reason I purchased it. The push button start is nice. I just need to make sure all the switches are in the correct positions before starting. There is enough wattage to power those things that need to be powered in the event the power goes out. Cons: The battery comes unhooked so in order to hook the battery up, I had to take the wheel back off to get at the screws to get the battery out. The oil dipstick is designed in a way where I didn't notice if the rubber piece on the stick is supposed to be inserted all the way in or if it stops up to a point with some exposure. The temperature recommendations say the lowest to go is 5 degrees F. If the power goes out in Wisconsin on a cold winter day, it's below the 5 degree threshold so I won't know how the generator will work when it's that cold. Time will tell how this will work as this is just an initial view after setting it up today.

Best Portable Generator On The Market

I have owned a dozen generators and dealt with thousands of them in my 33 Army career. This generator has every feature one could ever want and everything is well organized and solidly constructed. It was a breeze to set up and use. I sm ready for whatever the winter brings.

Workhorse

Bought last year and we never really got a chance to use it much until last weekend's storm that hit western Washington. The unit has proven to be a workhorse operating on its 4th day. We have been able to use our oven, all kitchen appliances, kept 2 fridges and 2 freezers going, and portable electric heaters for comfort. We even got to watch a movie on Netflix on the weekend! So glad we decided to upgrade to a bigger unit with clean power so we don't have to worry about sensitive electronics.

Great generator!

We got the WGEN12000DF in yesterday, we couldn't wait to get the wheels on it, oil and fuel in it and start it up. Fired up on the first try, we first used the electric start, then also tried it with the key fob and it fired up no problems. We bought the Wgen9500df model also and love it. We just wanted to get a larger generator and this one was calling our name.

Great bang for your buck

I needed a generator powerful enough to power my well pump, water heater, and to heat the first floor when there is a power outage. This suits my needs perfectly. Being able to run on propane is a huge plus as well because I do not have a natural gas hook up from the city.

Have a jump ready

First time I went to use this generator when the power went out, I hooked up the battery and the panel indicator showed it was good. After several attempts to start, I realized it didn't have enough juice. I had to use my portable jump box to start it. Pretty sad on a brand-new unit. Otherwise, it was great.
