WGen20000c

This is the biggest portable generator I could find. I have tested it and works great and came with everything besides gas. The biggest issues is getting my house wired to accept this much power and unloading it from the shipping pallets because it is very heavy.

Well built

U just received my wgen12000. It's a powerhouse starts up and purrs like kitten. Voltage and frequency stay constant. Virtually no fluctuations. Bought it for power outages during storms. Hopefully won't need it anytime soon but feel better know I have a generator that handle all major appliances in my home.

Portable home generator

We bought this generator about a month ago. It so easy to use. It started the first time we tried. It has a pull start, an electric start and remote control start. It is much quieter than our other generator. We are very pleased. Came with everything that it supposed to have.

Solid generator

Seems to be a solid strong generator. Happy that it has a switch that allows me to turn off the Smart Idle. Smart Idle switch is not mentioned or pictured in product info. Product info does not cover info on oil filter service intervals, also the manual does not mention that the battery should be turned around from a shipping position to make it easier to connect the cables. Besides that the manual and product information needs to be updated, I think I will enjoy this generator very much

Nice “Ginny”

It has everything we needed. The assembly was very easy. The instructions were also easy to understand. We ran it for 4 hours varying the load and had no problems. We are going to order the ST Switch and build a ventilated generator box. So far, so good!

I've used the generator a little over an hour

I haven't had to use the generator for a power outage yet but have ran it to break it in. Very powerful ran a compressor didn't phase it at all. Assembly was very easy putting wheels on and the arms. Then putting in the oil and it fired right up. I upgraded my generator from a 4400 /9000 surge big difference for sure. Have put it off for far to long.

Perfect for running major household appliances

This Generator has power and some to spare. Enough to run an A/C, water heater and fridge without skipping a beat. The instructions are simple and easy to use. You will need to ensure your home is set-up properly but if your power goes out this beast can take it on. Very heavy but ready to use out of the box. Wish they would sell a rain cover attachment though as this is the only drawback.

Wonderful generator

We actually bought a WGEN1200DF (not listed as a choice) and it was delivered on 10/10/2019 and wired to our home electrical panel the next day. We are very pleased with it features and the ease of installation. It started easily and runs quietly for its size. We are looking forward to its use during power outages.

Best Generator to buy

It takes care for what I need for my house. It has a lot of features that other generators don't have, that's why I chose this model Wgen10500TFC, also triple gas feature, I would recommend this Generator to all my friends. You won't be disappointed!!

Good genset with good features

Overall, this seems to be a good genset. Nice features and sturdy construction. My only observed critique is the over choking during starting. This unit has an automatic choke and after it starts, it stumbles and belches out black smoke for a few seconds until the automatic choke opens up. This is an obvious tuning issue from the factory that should have never happened.
