Looks like a wonderful machine.

I just received this unit a few days ago but wow what a beautiful unit. I expect great things from it. I took off the standard front legs and installed casters to make it easier to move around. I called today to buy a 50A transfer switch kit (item number 210076) only to be told the they no longer sell them. Bummer. Would have been nice to have their switch to go with my generator.

Looking forward to using it

Just received the generator and have set it up which was very easy. Have not had to use the generator as power has been restored, but feel very confident in the product when that time comes. Has a ton more features on it than I originally though when buying it.

Designed with the consumer in mind.

Well thought out design for a generator. Comes with built in gas shutoff valve and battery quick disconnect, great for long term storage. Comes with a remote-control key for starting and stopping of motor. Comes with an oil funnel designed to fit machine. Single fuel power for simplicity. Comes with a parts list to make easier to buying replacement parts.

Engineered well, powers up buzz box welder

Bought for use for our house, rental property, and farm. Researched multiple brands, sizes, and capabilities and settled on this to provide back-up power to key circuits in house, ability to run power tools at farm off-grid, and ability to run AC/DC Lincoln welder (buzz-box) in field. Electric start and remote start are great features. No issues with welding.

Plenty of Power!

I bought this generator as an upgrade to my current 8000 watt generator. My old generator was good but just couldn’t keep up with running everything I wanted to run when the power goes out. This puppy has every feature I wanted, or would ever need, and packs a ton of power! I can now run everything in my whole house when a storm knocks out my power. The only thing I don’t run is my central AC unit. Rather I run a 14,000 btu and 8,000 btu portable ACs without an issue. I live very comfortably when my power goes out!

Exactly as stated

Bought this because we live in an area that loses power during hurricanes and was tired of living in heat and with no hot water or cold food. Came boxed securely and in great condition, Easy to set wheels and if you follow instructions operates as stated.

Great Overall Generator

The generator came delivered with very little work to assemble the battery cable and wheels, then add the engine oil before filling with gas and firing right up. This has plenty of power for our transfer switch to power our home when the power goes out. The electric start with auto-choke and key fob start are just an added bonus!

Great Features

After checking other products we chose the WGen9500 for the features and power that we would need during power outages to replace our ageing unit. The easy starting,digital display and run time was the deciding factor on this purchase. Everything you need was in the box,oil,funnel,wheel kit and battery charger!

Powerful and Compact

I bought the WGen9500 to replace an underpowered Generac.The 3,000 extra watt's will allow me to now power my water heater, in addition to the other home items this backup generator is meant for. The generator arrived well packaged and damage-free. Oil was fully drained, making it easier to attach the mounting feet. Total install time for feet and wheels was 10 minutes. Attaching the cables to the included battery was easy, although the positive cable needs to be looped slightly in order not to stick straight out from the generator. A short charge of the battery, adding the included oil and some gas and the generator was ready to start. The push-start is great (coming from manual, pull-only). Press and wait. The generator will go through it's start cycle, and within a few cranks the fuel was flowing and it was running clean and well throttled. Have run the generator for an hour and put it to the task of powering the home (through dedicated transfer switch) and the power was clean, generator ran smoothly under load. Very happy with this new purchase, feel comfortable with a 3-year warranty backing it (which I hope not to need). The included maintenance schedule will be useful and followed, so hoping for years of service (or not needing it) from this solidly built generator.

I was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is!

I just unboxed the generator, filled with all fluids and put wheels on! Instructions are easy to follow Fired it up and was pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is! This is the 9500 watt generator! I am replacing a 9500 watt champion generator that is so much louder! I needed a generator with a 50 amp plug and this is perfect for my needs!
