So far so good

Assembly and prep was easy (took me a little over an hour including unboxing and clean up) except for the oil filling. I spilled some (provided funnel is quite small and overflowed), and that made a mess but also I think you have to use the whole provided bottle to fill it up. I’ll have to buy some more oil because the dipstick still isn’t wet. As others have commented, the dip stick is very difficult to read. I hooked up a propane tank, forgot to choke it (do you have to choke when using propane?), but it started easily. It is kind of loud, but I expected that. Usually when the power goes out around here, it’s less than a day so we can definitely put up with the noise to keep our lights on and food from spoiling or thawing. The unit itself seems well organized and well-made.

Generator 9500 For Home Use

I bought the model# 9500 post hurricane Beryl in July. Since we have lost power on 2 other occasions. The 9500 was available to provide power for the entire first floor of our home for 2 + days. It’s quiet, powerful and portable. Should have made the purchase years ago.

Powerful and Compact

I bought the WGen9500 to replace an underpowered Generac.The 3,000 extra watt's will allow me to now power my water heater, in addition to the other home items this backup generator is meant for. The generator arrived well packaged and damage-free. Oil was fully drained, making it easier to attach the mounting feet. Total install time for feet and wheels was 10 minutes. Attaching the cables to the included battery was easy, although the positive cable needs to be looped slightly in order not to stick straight out from the generator. A short charge of the battery, adding the included oil and some gas and the generator was ready to start. The push-start is great (coming from manual, pull-only). Press and wait. The generator will go through it's start cycle, and within a few cranks the fuel was flowing and it was running clean and well throttled. Have run the generator for an hour and put it to the task of powering the home (through dedicated transfer switch) and the power was clean, generator ran smoothly under load. Very happy with this new purchase, feel comfortable with a 3-year warranty backing it (which I hope not to need). The included maintenance schedule will be useful and followed, so hoping for years of service (or not needing it) from this solidly built generator.

Great Features

Bought it for emergency power. Just had this delivered, Tested it out using propane and started right up. Like the feature of having a FOB to start. Really good range I was able to start it from the inside of a brick house about 100’ away. Hopefully we won’t have to use it.

Exactly what I need

I just received the unit yesterday. The generator came fully assembled and is in great condition. The only thing I had to assemble were the wheels and support feet. The assembly was very easy and quick. This unit has excellent features and will be used primarily as back up power in case of power failure which occurs frequently here in my area. I still need to equip this generator for high altitude use and install a transfer switching device for household use. The manual that came with this generator is very well done with clear and precise instructions and information. I have not yet started it up yet as I am in the process of ordering the altitude kits for gas and propane use. As it stands I am completely satisfied with this unit and I believe I will be very happy when I start it up.

Easy to use and start.

I was looking for a quality generator to feed my house during power outages. After doing some research and reading lots of reviews, I bought this model. I wanted a generator that had a 50 amp plug so it could handle the majority of the house. The electric start is a great feature, and the remote start is a very nice added bonus! This starts up with ease, and is very easy to operate. It runs pretty quiet as far as generators are concerned, and is pretty easy to move with the large wheels and handle bar. I am very pleased with this purchase, and would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for one.

Loaded with features and easy to use

I bought this generator because of all the features. The main ones being tri-fuel and electric start. I've owned it for 4 months and today was the first day of testing... my power went off during thunderstorms. I quickly connected my propane tank, connected the battery, pushed a button and it cranked right up. Plugged up power cords and the generator saved the day. So far, my only complaint is the generator is very loud running.

Great features and the perfect size for my RV

This is a great generator! It can run on natural gas, Propane, or gasoline (I only use non-ethical gas to prevent problems). It fits right in the back of the truck under where the fifth wheel connects. I’m going to use it to do some pressure washing with my electric pressure washer with water pumped from the pond. Gotta get it going!
