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.

Excellent Generator

I purchased the WGen9500c 3 weeks ago. The generator was very easy to assemble even though it weighs over 200 lbs. The quality of the wiring, mechanical and structure is impressive. The manual is very complete with a lot of detail and written to easily understand. I will use this generator with a 10 switch, transfer switch. The generator will provide 50 amps to the switch with 2 additional 20 amp circuits available.

Great value for the power

I bough this wgen9500 for its power. I have had it now for a month and has performed well. Lost power for 2 weeks and was able to keep my important appliance on even my gas furnace. No issues I like watching it start on its own no need for me to do anything. I had thought I would never need one but now I know it is important to have on I really love this generator. My family was safe and warm.

Excellent Features!

The WGen9500c's features are what you expect in a luxury car! The "push to start" - the "auto start on the remote" and the "auto-start" on the generator are very convenient! The WGen9500c surely qualifies as a "Smart Generator!" It runs smoothly and provides plenty of power for all my needs. Great Product!!!.

Excellent Value and Build Quality

We bought this a week ago and are very happy with the investment. First the value vs RW of the machine is hard to compare to anything else on the market. The aesthetics even are very nice. Seems very well built and I hope it lasts for many years to come. Went ahead and purchased a 50 amp inlet, 25ft cable, and interlock kit for my panel. Will be very storm ready the next time neeeded. All this and really hoping we never have to use it but ready to be prepared and not be left in the dark (or cold). Gen was super easy to setup with clear directions. As others have stated have abit more oil on hand as it will take the whole can provided and a bit more. Started on first electric start, tested pull cord, and remote start as well. Turns over with ease and seems very quality manufacturing. Looking forward to completing the project and truly running a load test against the house.

Excellent All the Way Around

Delivered in perfect condition. 15 minutes to assemble, add oil and fuel up. Started right away and ran quieter than expected. Key Fob worked. By the way, this generator is just a push of a button for 2 seconds and release. It turns over the starter a few times and if no start then tries again every few seconds. Also, it automatically opens choke as it warms up. Great surprises.

Great Purchase

Just received this generator yesterday. Easy set up, (hint, follow quick start up guide regarding power cable connection from battery to panel). Runs great. Button start, remote start, pull start seem to work fine. Tested with power light and vacuum cleaner for a period of time just to check performance and no issues. Easy to use. Bought it for powering household when power lines are down after a storm and I believe it will perform well when needed. I hope I do not need it!!

Ease of use

First time generator owner, and after reading many reviews and watching many videos, we chose this one to power our entire house, if need be. Followed the instructions for adding oil and gas, hooked up the battery, and got it running with no issues. Portable enough that my wife can move it around.

Great Features

I bought this a month ago, so far haven't had the need to use it. However, after doing a lot of comparisons this particular unit I felt had the best power, for the price. In addition to this it had the automatic battery charger, was easy to set up, has a 40 and a 50amp outlet. Customer Service is great! I called with a question and with a very tolerable waiting period spoke to an agent who answered quickly and professionally in layman's terms.

Monster for a Neighborhood with Frequent Outages

After researching portable generators for quite some time and suffering through frequent power outages (a 6 day one last fall) we finally bought the WGen9500. It's a beast and everything the other reviews say it is. It will soon be wired into a manual transfer switch. Neighbors already came to see it and realized that doing this in the fashion we are, is a lot more cost effective than the large automatic ones that can cost 5K. I'll be building a sound reducing enclosure for it before the winter. Glad we finally have it!
