Started right up

I bought the this because my wife wanted a backup in case we lost power for an extended time. Put together, filled with oil, topped off battery charge and checked everything. Then attached to propane and it started right up. Whole process took less than 30 minutes. Ran it for about 1 hour with no problems. Only gave it 4 stars because I haven't put a load on it and I only just got it. I expect and hope that it will deserve 5 stars. W

Electric start dual fuel

We bought this to replace a manual start 5,000 watt Generac which we used with extension cords. It will connect to our box after the electrician installs the interlock and receptacle. We're in the five hour break in period and it starts and runs as expected.

Super fast power

Instant start on a 25lbs propane tank. Powered nearly my entire house including 3 ton A/C. Haven't tried with the water heater on, but ran everything else just fine. Remote start works from inside. Hooked up with a 50 amp receiver into electrical panel. Must have item for hurricane season. Don't hesitate, sleep good knowing you're prepared.

Great unit and reasonably priced

All things considered, this is a fantastic unit for the price point. I've researched a ton of generators at this and similar power ratings, and around this price point. This thing starts smooth and runs smooth, handling power draw right up to its limits. This is a larger unit, but I'm fine with that considering how much it can handle power wise. Despite its size it has comfortable handles and can be moved around well. The remote start works well, although I can see limited scenarios when I'd need it so it wasn't a must have. This unit is louder than similar ones at the same size from other manufacturers, but at considerably less cos. I also have this for storms and disasters so it doesn't really bother me since I don't run it often. It also has a built in battery trickle charger which most other brands do not have, so you'd have to factor in the cost of an additional battery tender. Finally, what sold me on this unit was the dual fuel option. It gives me a second option in case I run out of gas or if the supply becomes scarce for some reason. We are in the country with a massive propane tank so I can always switch to that, even if the chance of needing it is remote. It was worth the slight increase in cost in my opinion and what pushed me to buy this unit and upgrade to this unit after a couple of years research from my older (smaller) one. I think this is the perfect balance of "major necessities" backup power, size, features, etc. for a very reasonable price. The next model size up is a beast and way overkill for most emergency backup situations.

Easy set-up

Great generator! Propane or gasoline it starts quickly and isn't to loud. Powers my well pump and water heater. It will power everything I need around the house and shed during our occasional outages winter or summer. The control panel features are easy to read, well designed. Looking forward to getting the "ST switch" to go with the generator when I can afford to!

Features fit my needs

I purchaced a month ago. It started on propane fine and carried a ligh load but would not start on gasoline. I called teck support who gave me info to correct the problem quickly. they were very pleasant in effort to help me. I have not put a heavy load on as of now but expect it to do fine.

Looks like it will do the job

Purchased about 2 weeks ago. Delivered promptly and safely. Everything was in the box and in good condition. Instructions are clearly written. This generator looks very well built. All controls are clearly marked and easy to access. I have not yet had the chance to run it yet, so only 4 stars. This should run everything that I need it to run. Model is the WGEN9500DF. I live in a very rural area & we often lose power, so a good generator is a must.

Great so far!

We just got our generator and it was super easy to set up and start. We are still exploring the features, but so far we have been impressed with the remote start, duel fuel, and handle for moving it. It started quickly and was quieter than you might expect for such a large unit.

Excellent Generator

Got to put the generator to the test last night in a real life scenario. Lightning knocked our power out and we had to start the generator to provide power to the house. Started on the second try and we ran it for 6 hours until commercial power was restored. Great asset to the house.

Great Features

We just purchased this generator after going through 2 hurricanes. We were tired of having smaller, unreliable generators. This one is large enough to run the most important items and keep us cool! The dual fuel option is a life saver during times of crisis.
