I bought this from our local hardware store based on online reviews. Setting up was easy with one slight catch. It seems like the battery is pre-connected, but you actually need to clip the plastic fastener on the battery wires and actually connect the female and male connectors. Note this is not explicitly written out in the manual. Once that was done, startup was a breeze and it worked great during our first power outage.

Arrived on time in perfect shape. Setup and assembly was a snap. Documentation for unit very thorough and well-done and inclusive. Great features. Love that this generator is smaller, but more powerful, than my old generator. Performs as advertised.

I purchased the WGEN9500df Generator as a backup for my home on June 01, 2021. I was expecting a lot from this powerhouse since the reviews were very positive on the features and the electrical output. I got what I expected. I fired this unit up and was soon running most of my house on generator power including my pool filter and equipment. The generator was plugged into a 30 amp transfer switch and if I feel inclined to do so, I can swap out that 30 amp for a 50 amp switch. The only advice I can offer is do not give up trying to start it the 1st time with gasoline. In fact, the initial start took so many tries with gasoline, I was ready to call Customer Support. It finally kicked over and I gave it a through test run. When done with my test, I ran the carburetor dry and let it sit for 6 weeks. It now fires up on the first push of the start button every time. This generator comes with all the features including remote start, the wheel kit, a mounted fold down handle and the duel fuel option. This is a well thought out machine for power and convenience. I live in Central Florida on the coast and I am ready for whatever nature throws this way. I am very happy with this purchase.

I was actually amazed how easy and fast the the setup was. It started up on the first try and delivered the power as expected according to the specs. My most difficult part was determining the appropriate oil amount to be added. As I further examined the manual I did see the oil tank size was 1.6 quarts and oil container provided was also 1.6 quarts. So it didn't take a rocket scientist to know the entire oil container should be used. I'm 86 yrs old and un crated the 200 lb generator myself and also attached the wheels etc. I have only used propane so far and don't know if I'll ever use gasoline. I did evaluate other generators and am glad I selected the 9500DF.

We live in California where we can’t rely on our power grid in both summer and winter. I’ve been waiting to purchase the 9500df since last summer but it had been out of stock every time I tried to purchase. I looked at other manufacturers but happy I waited. Works great and has enough power to power our whole house with a/c plus the 6 freezers.

We have been wanting a portable generator to power our home in case of an electrical power failure. We live in the Houston area and hurricanes and other storms can create problems for our electrical service. This 9500 watt generator is exactly what we needed. We have a water well and an aerobic septic system, so when the power is out we really can't stay for long. Now with this new portable generator, we have the electrical supply we need. We had an electrician help us set it up to connect to our electric supply panel and we ran a test on it yesterday. It worked beautifully! The generator started right up with a push of a button and supplied enough power to run everything we need. Hopefully, we will never suffer a significant power outage, but now there is peace of mind knowing that we have a dependable back up source of power.

Although I have not run this yet I am very impressed with the unit as is my Plumber/electrician, who says he likes it better than Generac --Remote start, built in battery charger and best of all an hour meter, since maintenance is so important. Will check back when I use it, but for me traditionally - now that I have a working generator, the power will not fail

I just had electricians hook this generator up to power our entire 2,000 SF home and when they fired it up, everything worked 3 ton A/C, 2 refrigerators, 3 bedrooms, all appliances, lights...EVERYTHING. And it didn't seem that the generator was straining to maintain power. The electricians verified that this model was top of the line (and they sell another product). True statement, one of the electricians was so impressed, he's considering purchasing the same unit. It was easy for me to assemble (I'm 72 years young) and pre-flighting was effortless. It is loud, but that's to be expected, so I'm going to build a sound box. All in all, we're totally satisfied and this unit exceeded our expectations. We honestly hope we never have to use it, but if we do, we know we'll remain comfortable during a power outage.

I just finally got this all set up and running after a week and love it. I love the push button start and the remote start option. So easy. It was very easy to set up and get started. Took a couple try’s to turn over but that’s normal. This thing is powerful enough to run my whole house. I tested it. I’m talking all my plugs, lights, fans, and appliances. Water heater, boiler, ac, water softener, and well pump. With room for more

This generator came out of the box in immaculate condition. Solid wheels and rubber pads installed quickly. Followed with easy connect of the battery. Nothing seemed to be missing, and a quart of oil, with a funnel, was shipped as well. I really like the fold down towing handle. Nothing rickety about that. Will add oil, get gas cans, and wait for the next severe thunderstorms, which seem to be a regular occurrence here in SE PA anymore.
