Love this generator. We use it on a daily basis and it fires up with the remote 97% of the time. We have had a few mornings (when it’s below 15 degrees) that the battery has been dead and needs to be started with the pull cord. I do wish it had a built-in battery tender/charger that maintained the battery whenever running. Instead you have to have the generator running and plug in the battery charger

I bought this earlier in the year, tested it, and then put it away. I got to use it for real last week after Hurricane Milton rolled through. I topped up the battery just in case, and it fired up on the first button press. The day after Milton I connected the generator to my 50A inlet and I was up and running instantly. We had A/C, hot water, fridge, chest freezer, microwave, coffee maker, TV, and some lights for the entire day. With just the A/C (3.5 ton, set to 78 F), fridge & chest freezer I was using gasoline at about 0.5 gallon per hour or so. I refilled the generator in the evening, around 5PM (started it around 7AM that day). We ran the water heater for a little while with the A/C off just in case. As I was putting the generator away for the night, the power came back on. I wasn't even fretting it though, since we were quite comfortable with what we got out of this generator. My only complaint is that the generator is quite loud, but it's not really an issue when everyone on your street has their own going at the same time. Once inverter generators of this output class become more widely available, I will probably replace this with that.

After opening the box and seeing the paperwork that was inside, I was a little intimidated about assembling and using my generator. As I began reading the manual, I realized that the step-by-step instructions were easy to follow. In no time I had my generator assembled and running.

Replaced a 5500W unit I had in order to support a greater portion of my home in emergency. This has electric start which I am very excited about (I'm 65) as well as duel fuel capability (not sure I'll use with propane but I like having the option, when the power goes out gas stations can't pump gas so having a backup fuel source might be handy). Unit arrived in perfect shape, easy to install the wheels and feet (be aware it is heavy!) and after adding oil and gas it fired right up. Almost looking forward to a power outage. Very pleased so far.

I purchased the WGen9500DF generator on-line and it was delivered two days later. I was home when it arrived, and the driver put the box inside the garage for me. I removed the unit from the shipping box (by cutting away the sides of the box with a utility knife) and installed the feet and wheels in about 10 minutes. Another 5 min to put in the included engine oil using the included funnel. I initially started the gen using propane. About 5 min to install hose and regulator (also included in the box) to my BBQ grill propane tank. The battery was charged straight out of the box, and the gen started up a few seconds after pressing the start button. I ran it for about an hour and powered up some power tools successfully. Used the included remote control FOB to stop it, and then restart - worked perfectly from 15 feet away (I did not test the remote farther than that). The build quality on this generator appears very good. I'm pleased with the generator which will be used primarily as a power backup for occasional power failures at my home. I rated it as "good" instead of "excellent" since I have not used the generator for an extended period of time to evaluate the long term reliability.

Relatively easy to set up. Push button and remote start work well. Only design flaw so far is that the muffler blows right onto the tire making the tire get hot. This was reported to Westinghouse and is a known issue but we were assured that the tire would not melt. Have not had the opportunity yet to run this during a power outage but we have high hopes.

I bought this generator on the recommendation of my son who had the same generator that functioned as advertised following the recent hurricane and subsequent power outages. It ran his house easily and without any problems. I am glad to have a backup generator now as our area seems to be having more and more power reliability issues

Recently purchased! Fast on time delivery! Product as advertised! I've unboxed and assembled, but have not had time to run it. Hope all continues to go well!! Nice looking generator; heavy-duty and sophisticated at the same time! It took me a month to do reviews and Googles to find out this was the best buy. I wanted the little extras like push start, keyless remote, LED lights, cushion wheels, padded pull bar, filtered exhaust,etc.. I got the looks, power, features, warranty, plus a Free cover when I registered the generator.

Purchased to replace a 5500kw generator. the power allows me to run my water heater along with other appliances. Set up took about 20 minutes. What I like about this purchase. Easy setup, very clear directions and maintenance instructions, multiple warning placards to warn you to make sure a step is completed, a small tool set, oil included, well packaged, dual fuel capability. Easy to maneuver once wheels are on. Unit was smaller than I expected, the fold down handle is very comfortable.

Bought this generator during a week long power outage during the heat of last summer. We have an old small Genny we use for lights and cycling freezers, but needed well water for this long of an outage. Found that if I turn everything else off, it will run our older 4ton AC unit! Remote start is great. All good things so far.
