Awesome generator!

We absolutely love our new generator. It was super easy to set up and the remote electric start is such a great feature. It has enough power to power our entire small house, air conditioning and all. This hurricane season in Florida will be a lot less stressfull for us, knowing that we're ready for any power outage.

Great Generator Great Price

This generator is heavy duty and very professional looking. Generator was very simple to assemble. Added Oil and gas according to information in manual. Read through information in manual, pressed start button one time started right up. Let it run for 10 minutes and shut down. I will update in future reviews as Hurricane Elsa Is approaching soon.

Lots of Features and Value

So far so good. The unit feels incredibly well made, came with lots of extra stuff like a spark plug wrench and tools. Included the battery, remote, oil, and everything needed for a first start. Not as quiet as I would like, but few generators are.

generator 9500

Easy to assemble... the tools to assemble it came with generator. Only had to put on 2 wheels and 2 mounting feet. Connect battery, add oil (came with generator) put in the gas and press electric start. Worked good. Remote Fob worked. Easy to move with handle. Handle folds down and uses less room when folded down. Looks nice.

So far, so good!

We bought this generator as an emergency backup for the after an ice storm left us without electricity for 12 days. Don’t get me wrong, I love the outdoors and roughing it, but that Little House on the Prairie nonsense gets old after a few days and I am not Pa Ingalls. We’re on a well, and I’ve got it figured that this generator will put out enough juice when the time comes to keep the water flowing and keep a light on outside so as prevent that nosy, brat Nellie Oleson from snooping around where she doesn’t belong. In any case, we haven’t had cause to use it yet other than to break it in and in a way I hope it remains that way. God bless and keep on trucking.

Great features

Recieved my Wgen9500 generator today. assembly instructions were accurate and easy to follow. The quality exceeded what I was expecting. Start up was simple and fast. Haven't put it under a full load as of yet but have no doubts to what the performance will be. Glad I checked all brands before buying and deciding to buy the Wgen 9500. Very happy customer.

Fired up immediately

Electrician got the electric panel wired for generator per code. We fueled generator and ran power code to panel plugi in, pushed button, and immediately cranked. Ran smoothly til fuel ran dry. Suggest you put Sta bil in and run until dry for extended storage.

Runs like a charm

Purchased this generator in anticipation of potential PG&E power shut-offs in California in an effort to prevent further wildfires. Had it installed just in time before the first one occurred. I was able to run our home refrigerator/freezer, home office and a few lights off it, perfectly with little interruption. The push button starter and remote on/off made things very easy to operate.

Solid

After a few days without power, I ordered the WGen9500. Powerful enough to run everything I needed. It showed up in 4 days when they said it would. Opened the box, everything was there; generator, wheels, rubber feet, oil, battery charger, and tool. Read the instructions. Step by step with pictures. All I needed to do was put the wheels and feet on, add the oil, and connect the battery wires. The handle was already attached and the battery was charged. Then, added fuel. Nice tank size, 6.5 gallons. Flipped the breaker switch to on, put the rocker switch to RUN, turned the fuel valve to ON position. Pulled the cord slow to prime the engine. Pressed the start button, and it started right away. Tested the 4 outlets immediately with quietestan electric chainsaw, each one worked. With the rubber feet, it didn't move from where I started it. Purposely had it on a slight incline just to find out if it would"walk". It stayed put. Also wanted to know how loud it would be. It said about 74 decibels. Fairly accurate. I have an older one that's rated for 5,000 watts which is much louder. I am going to have it be able to plug into the fuse box of the house and build a box for it to make it a little quieter. It was the quietest one in the neighborhood, even without a box over it. I like the plastic "no flat" wheels. The handle is wide with foam grip. Solidly built. Easy to move. Tried the remote start/stop. Did both first try. From the door of the house. It was in the driveway. I would highly recommend this generator.

Great Performance

Easy to assemble and prepare for startup. However, package did not include enough oil to fill sump. Generator started promptly, accepted all desired loads, and responded quickly to load changes. I would like to have seen current output on the display, but this would require current sensor.
