Easy to finish the assembly, and nice to have the proper engine oil and funnel sent with the unit. Push button start is so much better than the old pull start. Glad to have this equipment on site before the hurricane season starts. I very much like the fact the manual has instructions for valve adjustments and basic maintenance. Runs well.

I bought the generator about 3 weeks ago to replace a 6000 Watt generator. Having the extra power will enable me to use some of my 240 Volt appliances during prolonged outages. The ability to remote start and connect the smart switch at a future date are a plus.

As a 78 year old, love the remote start option - main reason for purchase. Also had electrician hook up an outside box to plug into electrical panel, eliminating cords and plug all over house. All just in time for hurricane season and the excellent power of this generator will operate all essential electrical needs.

Bought this in prep. for hurricane season. Unit came 99% ready to go - putting on the wheels and feet were a breeze! So far, I have only done the initial start up, but was able to plug it into my 220V, and do a "dry run" of it. It was able to power up one of my central A/C units with no problem (the smaller of the two), and I also hooked up some of my essentials (fridges, t.v., a few lights/power outlets). The noise isnt as bad as I thought it would be. At this running wattage - it is what it is. This this looks like it will easily handle any hurricane that comes our way - and I am not expecting us to be out cold for a week, here in Texas again, like we were earlier this year!

I just received the generator and it looks very nice and well built. I haven’t run it yet but when I do I will post another review. The only thing I do not like about it is the <23% THD which is very high and I am worried about running any of my electronics with it.

Purchased this 9500 model on 3/15. I've not had chance to do more than start it for testing purposes, but she runs great. It's easy to move around, feels well built and, for the price, is a great value among larger generators. This will ultimately power my whole home during outages. I'm anxious to use it, but not looking forward to any more deep freezes or hurricanes. :)

Originally looked at permanent stand by generator but unit cost and installation was almost 7 times more than this solution and I dont have a big ugly box sitting outside my house. After having an electrian do the house setup, I simply pull the WGen 9500 out of the garage, plug it into the transfer switch outlet box on the side of the house and we are good to go with stand by power for all the essential circuits. when power is restored, Just roll it back in the garage. Way cheaper-way better solution to occasional power outages.

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.

I live at 4,000 ft and need to change the carburetor jet. It's not simple but the video instructions are good. My only reason for removing a star is that the operators manual is not clear on when you need to unbond the neutral from the frame (consult a qualified electrician is not helpful) and doesn't give you a sticker to indicate this, if you do so. My generator ties into a Backup Power Transfer Meter, so yes, they recommended unbonding the neutral.

Generator is perfect for our condo. Powers everything up and starts within seconds. Glad we went with a reputable manufacturer. Nice plus is that it comes with a wheel kit, some brands don't. Great value, lots of power for the purchase price and very well designed and is very sturdily constructed.
