Great backup power

I live in an area where power outages can happen at a moments notice, and when the do I am often without power for extended amounts of time. Often a week to 2 weeks. My old generator could only run my well pump and a few lights. This unit can run most if not all of my house. It will be awesome to be able to not worry the next time I have an outage.

Put oil in the generator even though it had electr

Put oil in the generator even though it has electric start wanted to see how hard it would be to start pulled the cord one time and it fired right up was very easy to use and worked perfectly it's a great generator for the price for 120s 1:30 amp and 150 amp transfer switch ready you can't beat it for the price with a 3-year warranty limited of course Great product great price look forward to using it for many years ahead.

Great so far. Easy setup

Just purchased a few weeks ago, but it runs like a champ so far. It started up right away on 1st try with electric start. Instructions were clear and setup was easy. Wish we would have had it earlier this year to avoid flooding in basement after losing power for a few days and the sump pump battery backups not working

WGen9500 Excellent Generator easy to set up

I bought this in February 2020 as emergeny backup for home electricity during electrical interruptions. I found it very easy to set up (only had to install 2 wheels and kickstand on pre-bored frame) and move into position. Procedures for initially fuelling and lubricating the generator as well as initially starting (electric or manual) were clearly shown in user manual with pictures for clarity.

Looking forward to using

We have Met Ed electric service here. We are out of electricity ever week, so we need a back up system and know we made right choice with this generator. So looking forward to not using it, but know we will. Our generator started as soon as we fueled and oiled unit. Very happy so far.

Great features and very easy to use

We bought our WGen9500c generator after losing power during the last hurricane. We were out of power for 8 days and the generator made the situation bearable. The WGen9500c allowed us to maintain our 2 freezers, refrigerator, some lights, and most importantly, our portable air conditioner. I can't believe how efficient and easy this product performed under some tough conditions, not to mention the price was very reasonable. Thanks for a great product.

Great bang for the $$$, awesome power and value

I live in Florida and figure that with the way 2020 is going to so, we're likely to get blasted with hurricanes all summer long, and my 6250/8500 generator of a different brand is not going to cut it for my family if we lose power for an extended amount of time. So I sold that unit and purchased this beast. First off, this is a great value, I looked at similar capacity generators from all the other major brands and this is the best value for power and overall features. The unit was delivered to my driveway and after unpacking I was able to put the wheels and feet on in a matter of minutes. I followed the instruction manual for adding oil, connecting the battery, pairing the remote, etc. I added about a gallon of fuel for the initial break-in. It started up pretty quickly - the starter had to crank it about 5 or 6 times before it fired initially, but it has started on the 1st or 2nd crank every time since. My initial impressions are very positive, it appears to be a very well built unit. It is noisy, but all non-inverter generators are noisy, and I actually think it is slightly less noisy than the older, smaller unit it replaced. Next step is to have an electrician install a transfer switch, stock up on beer, and then we are storm ready, and the beer will stay cold through it all!

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.

Reliable every start.

So far so good! After one year. This has been a reliable generator. Purchased for emergency power as a whole house power supply. Will power everything in a 1400 sq ft house including a 220v well pump without a problem, also not that noisy for it's power output. My only knock on this generator is it is very heavy, It will take two people to load into a pick up with a ramp.

Very Easy Assembly, First Time Start:

I assembled this generator right out of the box, put the provided oil and added gas. First kick and the generator starts with no problems whatsoever. I am impressed by the generator. The sound level is acceptable and it is an excellent choice for my needs.
