Solid Generator With Good Features

Set up was very easy. With installing wheels and feet, adding oil and checking things over, took about 15 minutes. Started up on the second pull and ran smoothly. Everything worked as expected with no issues. Hurricane season is happening now. I hope I don't need to use it, but glad I have it in case I do. Can't comment on long term use, but I don't expect any issues.

Well constructed and clear manual

Just purchased this generator and so far am very pleased with it. The assembly and instruction manual use regular English and are refreshingly clear, with good illustrations. Have not started it yet, but will circle back after using it awhile. The chassis is tubular steel, and the weight is over 200 pounds, The wheels provided are heavy molded plastic, which I prefer because you never have to add air. The variety of 120V and 240 V outputs is very convenient, as are the three ways of starting the gas engine (remote, autostart, and manual pull-cord, just in case the battery is dead). A trickle charger for the battery is also included with a convenient charging port right on the power panel. Overall, very good design and clear instructions.

Outstanding Product

I bought this because I was losing power so often and for more than a day at a time. We lost power the week after we got it and it powered our entire house, WITH AC, for 2 days. Thats Refrigerator, A/c, lights and furnace for hot water. Never bogged down, I just had to fill with gas. Really easy to start, has the push button Fob as well. Really happy!

A Lot of Switches

My son in law helped start up and show me how to use it. There are more switches than I like just to get power. I hope I can remember what I need to do when I need it in an emergency. I feel it makes more complicated that it needs to when the power goes out here in the country.

Great Portable Generator!

Nice generator for the price. Very easy to set up. A bit louder than I expected, but reasonable. Started first time. We have frequent power outages out in the country. Always said we should get a generator but kept putting it off. Feel prepared for one now. But since I got a generator, it probably won't happen again.

Good Generator WGen9500

I placed the order of the WGen9500 and it arrived few days later. The generator is 90% assemble. Only have to install the two wheels/legs and add the oil. I don't want to lift the generator around my house so I installed four wheels on it so i can move the generator with ease.

Everything I needed

This is a solid generator equipped with what you need to power anything from a USB charged device to your home. Upon arrival I added oil, connected the battery, put a gallon of gas in the tank, turned the fuel on, and it fired right up (I did turn the fuel on and let the carb bowl fill up first though). I wound up plugging a pop up toaster into the 120v outlets to make sure they all worked and made some toast on the back porch... butter and all. The key fob worked out of the box also. I feel confident in this equipment to perform when it's needed the most... For me it's during power outages.

Great investment

2 weeks ago I purchase this generator. Upon receipt I was glad to see it was easy to assemble. The generator is a beautiful color. The generator came with a quart of oil and the generator manual was easy to follow. The updated push start and the remote control start is awesome. It is easy to move around for storage. The motor makes less noise than my previous generator. Glad my friend told me about this brand. Great investment!!!

Excellent Generator so far

I'm just getting the generator put together and running today after having it almost a month. It has just about every feature and started on second pull. Starts very quickly now. One note: make sure the battery is connected. The connection was almost hidden but it has to be connected to continue running. Looking forward to using it. It looks great, now if it will run great and for many years it will be worth buying.
