So Easy to Handle

We bought this after Hurricane Beryl so we'd be ready for the next one. It was delivered as scheduled in perfect condition. A few days later we had a transfer switch installed. We were able to get it hooked up easily. A few days later, we tried it ourselves with no help. These two 70 somethings were able to start it the first time. It now powers our whole house incuding the air conditioning. Now we have peace of mind.

Easy of operation

Started up the first time using the push button start. I am using gasoline as the fuel and I'm receiving the full 9500 watt output. The pull start as a battery backup is an added plus. The unit is lighter and easier to use as compared to my old Troybuilt 7800.

Runs great and I love the remote start!

I just received the product and although it looked like it had been handled roughly, the item was packaged very well and sustained no damage. The instructions were very easy to read and implement. Generator started right up and ran beautifully. I will be putting it through the paces this weekend in the hot Texas weather.

Initial run

Couple of items during setup worth mentioning for future owners. First, the oil supplied is 1.16 liters which the tag says is the capacity. After putting oil in and checking level it was below the level for operation as shown in the owners manual. I added more until mid way in the operation range, didn’t measure how much but probably closer to 1.4 liter total. Second item was the owners manual tells you to connect the battery cables but were already connected? What it didn’t tell you was the cables have a modular plug which is tie wrapped and tucked up under the sheet metal so not obvious. Only after a no start and beginning to troubleshoot did I find the connection. Started on propane for initial run, fired up after a few turns and ran smooth. Plugged in a space heater to check for picking up load and all is well. Did not test 240V connection, still need to install my transfer switch then give it a try to see how well it carries bigger loads. So far meets my expectations.

Lots of Power - Can run entire all electric home.

Master Electrician recommeded this specific Generator, worked great. Our home is all electric in Tx where the electric grid is infamous. Dual fuel is ideal - 100 lb tank of propane and 5 gallons of gas should take care of us for a few days in survival mode. To Maximize efficiency of generator, I cut the load by Isolating recepticles for fridges on one dedicated circuit and Internet power & routers, TV etc. on another dedicated circuit. Now with breakers for things we don't need flipped of, and 5 of 22 breakers on, it never trips a breaker even with the electric heat pump running. Careful when choosing 240V cord to connect for Home back-up, 90° plugs are difficult to plug in because of relative location to wheel. If you can find a straight one, much easier to use.

Great Generator!

I researched just about every portable, dual fuel, generator on the market and for what you get for the price, you just can’t beat this thing. The minor details, such as the included batter charger, the battery charger port on the front panel, the remote start, metal fuel tank, covers on the outlets, and so much more. It cranked up and ran great, the first time I cranked it up. The remote was already paired, I was running my entire home without it even missing a beat.

Simplistic, And Powerful

Recently purchased the Wgen9500DF and was amazed as to how simplistic its operating method is with respect to the power capabilities it produces. Very well made, and very heavy. Power will not be an issue when the storms come through. Alot of machine for your money.

Great peace of mind

We previously owned a generator for our home in Florida due to the hurricanes, but after relocating to a rural area in Michigan, we hoped the power would be more dependable. However, after experiencing two power outages and a third storm that left us without electricity for almost two days, I decided to purchase this generator—one of the last two available. Fortunately, our house already had a transfer switch installed, and the generator performed wonderfully, powering nearly everything and keeping us comfortable. Now, it’s stored in the barn, prepared for future use with fuel stabilizer, gasoline, and a charged battery, ready to go whenever we need it. Great peace of mind.

Love the Remote Start

Being able to start and stop the generator from several feet away using the remote is great. I can be at a piece of equipment that is plugged in without running back and forth to start or stop the generator. This is especially helpful when working on a different floor level.

does what it is suppose to do.

only had the generator for a couple weeks, but she fired right up no problems, did a break in period with it using propane so I wouldn't have gas left in it during storage, I really like the dual fuel system since i always have propane around the property and can easily use the generator during an unexpected outage.
