Super Easy to Use

Thankfully I haven't had to use it yet but after hooking it up and performing a test I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. The generator's remote start is a great feature and started the generator up with ease the first time. Was able to run all necessary circuits in my house without issue. Good bye dark days!

Just installed and ran on propane. Works well.

I bought this generator a month ago. Just got wired to my house. Now I have back-up power to 10 key circuits on my house (well, frig, furnace, internet). I bought a 100 lb propane tank to minimize fill ups. Works well and provides the right level of power when these items are running.

Very nice unit!

I just purchased in November 2024, I have not used it yet as intended. I will hook it up to a 50amp wall plug installed by an electrician once it is done. It has some great features, I love the build quality and the option to use propane. This is my first generator with a battery start, I will enjoy that feature as I am not as young as I used to be. This should be plenty of power for my needs.

The best I could find

I recently purchased the Wgen9500df as a home backup generator. I wanted the dual fuel option because after Hurricane Irma we were without power for a few really hot days. We had a generator but it was gas only and the gas stations would not sell gas except to first responders, so having the propane option was essential for us. The generator was delivered in perfect condition and setup was easier than I expected. Just bolt the wheels and feet on, attach the battery connector, add oil and it was ready to go. I connected a 20 lb. propane tank, we pressed the remote start key fob (already paired and a great feature) and it started immediately. Another feature that is important is that this generator is much more fuel efficient than a highly recommended competitor. That matters after a storm when fuel can be difficult to procure.

Powerful, Nice Features, WGen9500DF

Was easy to setup and started right away. Only ran on propane so far. Was quieter than my previous unit with half the power. Remote start worked great. Looking forward to connecting to house to power the well pump and furnace in the future. I like the option of the ST switch also.

Good generator

At this time I have only assembled and done a quick test drive of the generator. Seems to be a good and powerful generator. It started at the first try. I like that it run both on propane and gas and that you can switch between the too fuels while it is running. It is noisy but so is all portable generators that I have come across. My only complain is one missing information in the assembly instruction. It spend one page how to connect the battery to the generator. But the steps shown was already done. However the instruct fail to mention that the cable between the battery and the generator is in two pieces tied together with a zip tie. You need to cut the zip tie and and connect the two cables.

Started on the first try!!

This generator has every feature you could look for. We loose power more often it seems so it was time to find a generator that could power much of our house while the electric company gets things fixed. The assembly only took about 30 minutes and after reading the directions and charging the battery for a few additional hours this generator was ready to be run. I love the dual fuel options as well as the electric start and key fob. As the title says it fired up on the first try. My only regret was not buying this sooner.

LOVE THIS GENERATOR

Significant snowstorm left about 18 inches on the ground and thousands of trees and utility poles snapped. We were without power for 11 days with daytime temps in the 20s-30s. Our WGEN9500 kept the furnace, water heater, and well pump running throughout the outage. Not one single hiccup running it for approx. 12-14 hours a day!

Remote start-up

Bought this Generator about 1 week ago and so far it has work as described. Wanted a Generator to power my home in case of outages which apparently occur often now in California. The thing that I love is the remote start feature. Overall happy with purchase.

Built Solid!!

The first thing I noticed about the WGen9500DF was how solid its built, heavy duty. I’m in the industrial mechanical world and this generator has heavy duty hardware, components, and is built to last. Even the product manual tells me they know what they are doing, they mention ethanol issues and show you how to drain the gas/lines to avoid issues. Clear break in instructions and maintenance periods with explanations for each. Designed for easy maintenance. This all is what impresses me most because nowadays most products are not like that, they are built cheap and they don’t care to tell you how to get the longest life from the product. Next thing most are probably concerned with is noise...its not unusually louder then any other gens, I’ve owned others that are definitely louder. Its has a good solid purr and sounds like a healthy engine. I set it about 50’ from my house and inside with the TV on it sounded like my neighbors mowing, not bad. I only run NON ETHANOL gas in my small engines, that and the way this gen is built i feel it will last me a lifetime of use. Cranks right up and makes power, only other features I care about other than above. Thank you!
