Saved us after Helene

Our generator arrived on week 3 no power. We are now into week 4 & can charge our phones without letting the car run, we not only have water, but hot water, & toilet flushing without hauling water. Today we are going to work on what part of our home we need to energize to get our directv and Starlink up and running, oh and I ran the dishwasher! Little things we took for granted. Great product, I would recommend. For reference, our home is ~4K sq ft, our hot water heater is 70 gallon geothermal/electric, which heated fully in half an hour. We have 100% LED light bulbs, & 2 electric heat pumps that we have not yet used. We are leaving our full size freezer off for the time being, but our refrigerator/freezer is now cold, we may stock a few items. We have an electric range, but will continue to use propane grill and camp wood stove. To us newbies it's a learning process, but again, we are very happy with our purchase.

Outstanding Looking Product

This machine is a monster, and I can't wait to use it. It is heavy, but with the oversized wheels I am able to move it with ease. I live in Georgia, and we have bad weather regularly. Now i look forward to the bad weather knowing that I will not be without power.

Powerful and easy to use

I bought this a month ago and have used it one time already. It was powerful enough to power my entire home minus one of two AC units. Though very large it is relatively easy to move and a great value. Generac generators were quoted at 3 times the cost of this device and this one can go with me if I ever move.

Review for WGen9500DF!

Right out of the box I knew I was getting a top rated generator. This thing is a BEAST. It handles pretty much anything I've thrown at it and that was using propane! Did I mention this thing is dual fueled?! It's amazing how easy it was to setup and get loaded. The easy remote start is a huge benefit as well! My advice if you can, stick to the propane fuel source and you'll never have to worry about gumming up the carborator!

Life saver

Bought this generator for home/ business. Had a smaller generator but wanted something to run the house. Just came through hurricane Helene here where the hurricane made land. This has kept things running. Love the remote fob. I have worked around Westinghouse turbine generators for years. Decent on fuel usage. Hopefully it will hold up to those standards.

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.

Husband loves it

Since we were caught in the 'snowmageadon' of 2020 last year here in Texas, we wanted to be sure that we were prepared for any power emergency. Having research many other products, we settled on the WGen 12000. Once received, my husband easily put it together, and it was much lighter than we expected. He himself was able to lift if off of the crate. Now, having said that he is a physically fit male... He did what the instructions said, and it started up without a hitch! I strongly advise that an electrician is consulted. We put in a power 'switch" and are having him come back to make sure that generator is properly hooked up and we can properly and easily switch the power from our home to the generator.

Great features and value

I just took delivery of my WGen12000 generator today (7/31/20) and unpacked and assembled. Good instructions for straight forward unpacking and assembly. Great user manual/diagrams. User friendly layout of instrumentation panel. I am a little concerned about the robustness of the oil dipstick. I found inserting fully after checking oil level a challenge and not sure how long the plastic around the dip stick and the wire rod is going to holdup. I plan to order an extra dipstick immediately. for backup, otherwise I believe the WGen12000 to be 5 star! I have not started/powered yet. I will update this posting following placing the generator into service.
