Remote Start 9500 Portable Generator

Bought the generator about 1 month ago. Unpacking Instructions and attachment of the wheels were clear and easy to follow. Setting up the remote start sequence required closer attention and connecting 2 battery wires not addressed. However, once completed, the generator turned over and ran as described. With 12.5KW start up & 9.5KW running wattage, this generator will be able to power both central air a/c units, frig and freezer, TVs, lights, and electric stove when activated in sequence more than enough to get us through a local power outage.

Easy to assemble and provides great power

We purchased this generator because we need one with enough power to meet our hurricane and storm interruption needs. So far, it looks as though it will meet our expectations. It is quite easy to move around which is a plus when you are dealing with storms.

Excellent Generator.

I purchased this generator two years ago, but only recently had an opportunity to use it. Great features, love the remote start...I keep the unit plugged in to maintain the battery performance. Awesome power, I installed a Generator Interlock and House Inlet hookup, to back feed my Main Panel off the 50 Amp output.

Well deserved excellent reputation.

Picked this up last week. Have powered it up checked all outlets, remote start, everything works as advertised. Have run for about 10 hours of break in so far with various loads including 240V 1-1/2 hp deep well pump. Still need to get a transfer switch hooked up but very happy with my purchase so far!

Great Product: easy set up

I had this delivered to my home and it was easy to set up and get going. Everything was explained in the quick guide. It even included oil and a fuel funnel! (But no fuel, obviously.) Within an hour we had it in place, running, and powering the house.

Easy to assemble and moves smoothly with wheel kit

Living in Texas we know the value of being well prepared for hurricane season. In fact I am writing this review less than a week after Hurricane Beryl devastated the greater Houston region. Having a powerful home outdoor generator brings invaluable peace during an otherwise chaotic event. We purchased this 9500c to increase our power to 50 amps for our newly installed plug-in breaker box. This generator was easy to assemble and moves smoothly with wheel kit that is included. Beryl may be gone, but we're on the front end of what may be a very active hurricane season. I highly recommend this generator.

Easy to Use

I live in Florida and needed a relatively large generator that was easy to start. This generator started up easily and it's great that it starts with a push on the fob. I also like that there are three ways, gasoline, propane, or natural gas to power this generator.

Reliable and functional

I bought the 9500c generator over a month ago. It was pretty simple to get it started. Even had my wife use the remote start inside while I placed the generator at the the beginning of our driveway (over 200 feet). It started like a champ. Got to use it during Hurricane Idalia for about 1 1/2 days for our Fridge, freezer, wife’s lift chair, C-PAP, and a fan. It was good to have it in a time of need.

GREAT

I was out of power last year for 6 days because of a hurricane but only a day for Katrina. I will not go through that again. I unboxed it and followed all instructions and it started up the first crank. Great investment. I will be prepared this year.

Great performance

I bought this back in October and have been very pleased. I have a manual transfer switch that has my oil furnace, water pump, refrigerator, and a number of rooms in my house hooked to it. The WGen9500 handles those loads with room to spare. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
