As a homeowner who prioritizes reliability and performance, investing in the WGen9500TFc generator has been an absolute game-changer for me. From its robust build to its seamless operation with natural gas, this generator has exceeded all my expectations. First and foremost, let's talk about power. The WGen9500TFc boasts an impressive 9500 starting watts and 7600 running watts, ensuring that even during the most demanding situations, my household remains fully powered. Whether it's running essential appliances during a blackout or keeping power tools running smoothly during DIY projects, this generator delivers unwavering performance. One of the standout features of the WGen9500TFc is its dual-fuel capability, allowing seamless operation with both gasoline and natural gas. Opting for natural gas not only provides a more convenient and cleaner-burning fuel option but also ensures uninterrupted power during extended outages.

Its rugged frame and never-flat wheels make transportation and maneuverability a breeze, whether it's across the yard or to a remote job site. Noise levels are always a concern with generators, especially for residential use. Thankfully, the WGen9500TFc incorporates advanced muffler technology to minimize noise output, allowing for quieter operation compared to many other models in its class. This means I can enjoy peace and quiet in my home without the disruptive hum of a loud generator. In terms of user-friendliness, the WGen9500TFc doesn't disappoint. The electric start feature, coupled with intuitive controls, makes starting and operating the generator effortless. Additionally, the digital display provides real-time information on voltage, frequency, and runtime, allowing for easy monitoring and maintenance. Safety is paramount when dealing with power equipment, and the WGen9500TFc doesn't compromise on this front. Equipped with multiple safety features such as automatic low oil shutdown and overload protection, I have peace of mind knowing that my generator is designed to prevent potential accidents and damage. Overall, the WGen9500TFc generator has truly raised the bar when it comes to home backup power solutions. Its unparalleled performance, dual-fuel versatility, durability, and user-friendly design make it a standout choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient generator. Whether you're bracing for inclement weather or tackling weekend projects, this powerhouse has got you covered. I wholeheartedly recommend the WGen9500TFc to anyone in need of a top-tier generator for home use.

Unbeatable Value and Features

This generator is jam-packed with features, straight forward and easy to access controls. My electrician had been recommending a couple of other brands to his customers for back up use and had not seen one of these. Not any more. My electrician saw mine and said it's the one he is going to get for his home.

recommend to just about anyone

over all quite a unit - been like 15-20 years since last purchased a generator. quite a few improvements - bought the wgen9500dfc and it handles pretty much everything i used on it - except a/c - just havent needed a/c since i bought it. electric start is quite a luxury and it worked flawlessly in 10 below weather! Even though this generator is twice the capacity of my old one - its quieter. really like the option of dual fuel, and can hook it up to just about any electric configuration someone has. it was 99% assembled - only had to put on the wheels - really cant say enough about it. never thought i would say this but really, really like the plastic wheels. pneumatic wheels sound great but reality is a different story - over time they always loose air, even if its stored off the ground, and if you have the generator over time the tires end up with dry rot. this generator isnt any harder to push/pull than my other generator with pneumatic tires(had to go thru snow and uneven frozen ground). there are some minor issues which I havent liked. the on off switch has a plastic cover over it - i find it alot more difficult to flip the switch on and off because of the plastic cover. when turning the unit on there is an yellow light that comes on - a yellow light on all my other tools means - caution - something isnt right or ready - why not a green light. my generator is usually stored in a shed with no power to charge the battery - is it a 12 volt - can it be charged from a car - from a battery power pack - no mention in the manual about anything. the manuals - its kinda lacking at times. mine states thats there is a ECO mode switch - but there isnt one(manual is specific to my model only) and lastly my pet peeve - there isnt any dedicated way to drain the gas from the gas tank. i may loose power 10-12 times a year or a may not need my generator for 1.5-2 years. so i have to always drain out the gas and its a pain the way it is set up. lastly things just arent explained well in the manual - like this has a circuit breaker on it - but never explains what its for or when to use it - my last generator didnt have one - do i use it for everything? my generator is wired directly into my electric box – which has all circuit breakers so why do i need it - do i only use it for 120v electric cords? then we have the bonded neutral - which they tell you absolutely nothing about other than contact your electrician - i contacted 2 - the one that worked on my electrical connections and i contacted another - and neither knew anything about it. most of these are just part of a quick learning process - but could be better explained and in no way should it keep you from purchasing the unit. also i bought this because of the lower harmonic distortion that this generator has over other generators. over all this generator is a beast and am looking forward to many years of use

Have not used yet.

I haven't used it yet. This survey was prompted at registration. So far that I have experience with it is that it's easy to set up and the instructions are pretty clear and the illustrations and labels are well written and printed. I hooked it up to my propane tank and it was easy. Started up just like the book said it would. Let it idle for a bit. Haven't run loads yet.

Affordable and easy to use whole house generator

I bought this in November of 2020. Finally had a chance to use it. When power was out the other day, it lit my house up, my air conditioning and tv's. It was simple to operate and ran nicely till the power came back on. Would highly recommend as an alternative to more expensive permanent units. I can wheel it to my porch and easily plug it in

Solid Build

Purchased the tri-fuel after a hurricane left us without power for 1 week. Have not had to use in a power outage yet but it looks solidly built and able to handle our major appliances with AC unit to keep us going. Having a plumber install a gas line hook up this week.

Love the features!

We just received our generator, more quickly than anticipated. It was packed extremely well and there were no dings on the box. All parts are accounted for. It's a beautiful machine, with great features, perfect for our needs in FL. We bought it after reading the reviews and got it at a great price, considering it was post Hurricane Milton. We are in the process of setting it up and getting it started. We will update if we encounter any issues or have any suggestions. We are really happy to have this!

I bought the generator in preparation for the storm season in Texas coast area where I live and the coming winter so I’m not caught in a a terrible situation without power or heat and this one is great and has so many perks and options along with easy to use. Definitely recommend it and it’s a good affordable price for everything you get.

Beautiful Functional Unit, Easy Assembly

I looked at several makes before settling on this one. I wanted the duel fuel option and a 50 amp outlet. That narrowed things down but the 8500 running watts on propane made this a no brainer. The electric and remote start features are icing on the cake. Will be used as hurricane backup and the propane option means no need to store large quantities of gasoline. All things considered this is a great overall bargin.
