We shopped a lot of models before choosing the WGen9500DF. It met all our requirements and we couldn't be happier. Rather than just powering a couple items, we've hired an electrician make the necessary preparations for us to be able to run all our critical household items through our power panel. With a handicapped spouse, I've always wanted a reliable back-up device for unplanned power losses.

I purchased this for the extra electrical capacity, electric & remote start after Ian. The price was a bonus since others were more expensive with less capacity & fewer features. I wanted DUAL fuel since gasoline was not available after Ian for 3-4 days. LP runs & burns much cleaner with easier maintenance. The unit started right up.& everything worked exactly as expected. Also an LP hose, regulator & battery trickle charger is included. I highly recomend this unit.

I live in the south where hurricanes are prevelant and having expereinced a few I wanted something that would run my enitre home. Now it will not run everything all at the same time, but you're not going to be doing that during a disaster anyway. I can run my tankless water heater and have warm water.. not hot but warm enough for a decent shower as long as no other appliances are running. Had a power outage for about 3 hours a month ago and it cranked without issue and ran perfectly. Very happy with the purchase.

We bought this powerful generator for the frequent power outages we have in Pa. My wife and I were getting tired of not having any power to our house during these outages, especially no heat. Looking to give this mega generator a shot at keeping our house up and running during our next outage!

I bought this item from a national home improvement retailer online at the end of June. It was shipped via a 3rd party shipping company and arrived about a week later. The generator was protected via cardboard and styrofoam packing, and did not show any signs of damage in shipping. Everything was included in the box, including a wheel set. The wheels and mounting feet were easy to install by just myself. All you have to do is tip it on one side to install both the mounting feet and one of the wheels. Then you tip it over on the other side to install the other wheel. Once I had the wheels on, it was very easy to move by myself. I have an electrician coming over soon to install a manual transfer switch. Once that's installed, I will test the generator and follow up with a review as to its performance. I will use this generator for emergency power loss.

We lose power A LOT. We purchased this to keep our fridge and internet running during outtages (we have artesian well and wood stove, so we dont need to power the entire house.) I think it will serve our purpose wonderfully. I like the remote start feature and it started up very easily. Only thing I noticed is that it seemed to require more oil at startup than the instructions say and I dont love the dipstick as i feel it doesnt give a good read on oil level.

When 1st trying to start this generator, the unit would not even attempt to start. Seemed like there was an issue with the battery/electric start. There is a red button on the right side of the control box that was never mentioned in the instructions or trouble shooting guide. I reset the button and it started but shut off 2xs after running for a few minutes. I had to flip the toggle for the outlets off and then on which seemed to work. Unit ran for 3 hrs with no problem. Hopefully all is OK and this was just on the initial starting.

This is the best generator in its class and has the most features of any other generators that are portable (i.e. not whole house generator) including the possibility to use a "Smart Switch"! It runs great and has good pure Electricity! You wont go wrong buying this one, it is money well spent, and I would argue its even an investment in your future security!

Easy to set up, instructions hardly necessary but clear. One exception is the battery hookup where the manual is a bit behind. It was obvious what to do. Everything needed to run is included and it started right up as expected. Enough power to run a normal house, but still easy to wheel around. Dual fuel is an awesome option, as it's easier to store propane than a bunch of gasoline.

I bought this for our home after heavy amount of research, and I am quite satisfied with my selection. The unit arrived via freight shipping and after a quick assembly of the wheels and feet, added oil, connected the battery it fired right up! The remote start is a fabulous feature for my wife whom might not be comfortable with walking up to this beast and getting it started. Very pleased.
