So far very nice for the price

This portable generator arrived in good condition. It was easy to set up to run. The instructions were pretty clear. I did not have any issues with them. The unit is pretty heavy but once the wheels are installed it is easy to move around. I fired it up for the first time with out any issue. I used the included remote while standing next to the generator. It attempted to start initially but didn't and and then tried again on it's own and fired right up. I believe that it normal since there was no propane in the system. I did as mentioned run it on propane. I'll add my experience when I use gas. While it was running, I connected and used a corded electric chain saw with no problems. I'll update this review in a few months.

wgen12500dfc Looks great, Started on first turn!

I really Can't believe that I waited this long to make this purchase! The area in which i live in has frequent power outages and most lasting hours if not days! We are fortunate to be in a suburb country city of Montreal where we have an abundance of trees. We love this but it comes at a price when it gets windy or we get hit by ice storms! This unit is quite a bit more expensive than other brands but I have only heard great reviews and so far I am extremely happy with my purchase. Can't wait for the power to go out now!

Whole house power on a budget

Bought when we moved to SC. Wired up a 50amp plug outside, interlock on the main panel just in time for Ian to visit. Ran the entire 2500sq/ft house during our wedding reception while Ian visited. I did have the AC and hot tub breakers off, but there is enough leftover juice for AC if needed.

Great features

Really like this product. Great features include that is dual fuel, has a fold away handle, CO monitor for safety, easy directions, and the ability to charge battery for remote start while the generator is running. I can be up to 99ft. away (in my house) and start the generator on my porch.

EASY SET-UP!

I bought this item last week. We've been wanting/needing a generator for years now but were finally able to make the investment. After a ton of research, I found that the WGen 9500 was highly rated. It arrived quickly and was incredibly easy to set up. Once I set it up, I added the oil and gas... Pressed the auto start and it instantly fired up! PERFECT. So happy with the purchase so far and can't wait to actually test it out this winter!

Great features!

Just got it and very excited to use it and see how much of my house it will run since we have all electrical appliances. Very nice out of the box, easy to assemble and very nice looking. Remote, push button start and 50 amp capability are my favorite features. I have no doubt it is going to be a great addition to our back up power system.

Simple to use and sturdy

We bought this generator in December 2021 after reading many reviews. It was easy to assemble and it is easy to use. It starts quickly and it is not too noisy. It seems quite sturdy and should last. It is housed in a small garage at the edge of the open door. The garage is 50 feet away from the house and we can barely ear it in the house. I have broken it in a few times for some hours and it runs fine. Will see how it will perform when we use it in a major power failure. We had an electrician install a special 50 amp box for the generator. The 50 feet wire to the garage was costly, specially since we went for a 50 amp installation as we want to be able to use some heaters.

Like the unit, but...

Like the unit, but it was extremely annoying and disconcerting to turn the gas valve on for the first time and have fuel leak all over my fingers. Now I will have to order a new part and drain the gas tank on a brand new, never been used generator. Manual needs to be corrected. Feet do not install as shown. Holes are perpendicular to support bar, not parallel as shown. (page 11 ASSEMBLY) This being said, I was pleased the way it started right up and ran in below freezing temperature.

Nice extras, Easy setup and start

Very pleased to find several extras - including a battery, battery charging cable, remote start fob, oil, funnel and also a spark plug wrench and wrench for assembly. Speaking of assembly, it was very easy - only taking about 5-10 mins without any assistance. Once the assembly was completed, I added a little gas and it started right up. I let it run without load for a bit to break-in the motor and it ran very smoothly.

Great Generator

I recently bought this generator and I am extremely pleased with it. The assembly was easy and the instructions are excellent. Besides giving us plenty of power, I love the push-button start as well as the remote control. It runs very quiet and we look forward to many years of use.
