Quieter than expected!

I received the generator (WGen9500DF) about a month ago, unboxed, installed the wheels, feet and oil. Added fresh fuel and plugged in the battery. At first this unit wouldn’t start. After going back and reading the quick start guide I realized I didn’t turn on the fuel valve, My bad. After turning the fuel valve on I tried again. It cranked twice and fired up. The very first thing I noticed was it was much quieter than I expected. I am comparing this unit to a one year old much smaller Champion. I ran this unit for two hours just to give it some run time before using it as a backup power source for our house. Last night I finally had the need to use it. Power went out, forced are heat went out and the house got cold. Rolled the unit out of the shop and hooked it to my switch. Turned on the fuel valve LOL and it started in less than two seconds in -2 degree temperatures. This thing ran two full size refrigerators a full size freezer, my forced air heater and lights in the house for 6 hours, I was even able to warm up coffee in the microwave, all of this with no light dimming or flickering no problems at all. To say the least, I am very happy with this generator.

Excellent home generator!

Although I haven't tried this generator out in an actual power outage, I am quite impressed on what I have seen so far. The first thing that impressed me was how well it was packaged for shipment with all parts and accessories complete. I also liked how the manual was so informative, well written, with easy to understand illustrations. The first thing I tried was a heavy duty power drill; which didn't phase it. Then I tried the well pump, and you couldn't hardly tell when it kicked on. The last thing I tried was the whole house, of which I couldn't tell the difference between being on the generator or being on the main electrical service.The only advice that I would give the user would be to use premium non-ethanol gasoline treated with a fuel stabilizer. All in all, a very good generator, and highly recommended.

Easy to set up and use!

I was presently surprised how simple and user friendly it was to get this generator running. I love the convince of switching the fuels while running. also the entire generator is user friendly with controls and features located where they are readily reached.....built for convenience ! The folding handle is a great feature .

A Complete Package!!

I did my research and choose WGen9500DF it is the one for me, has all the features that I wanted. It is well built and very strong and compact at the same time for us to move around. It is a complete package and we love it!!!! Duel fuel source is a must. Would recommend anyone to buy this unit!

Initial impressions and set up

I purchased the WGen9500DF at the beginning of September, the package arrived undamaged and complete. The generator looks great. Assembly was straight forward. The problems I have read that other people had just needed a little forethought to avoid. The one thing I do agree with others on is that the oil supplied with the product is not enough. I had to add more to bring the oil level up to between the marks on the dipstick. The generator fired up first time, performed changeover from one fuel to another without issue. After a few minutes it settled down to 242 V at 61.9 Hz. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet this generator is. I followed the run in process over a period of days without any issues. One thing that I noticed on other reviews was people commenting on having 50 Amps available, this is not quite true, the main CB is rated for 38 Amps, the 50 Amps might be starting value. I have not had to use it in a power outage but as mentioned before there have been no issues during the run in period.

Love the features!

This generator started right up as soon as I took it out of the box and put some gas & oil in it. I love the push button electric start and the ability to use either gas or propane to fuel it. I wish I would have bought this unit sooner. I now have peace of mind if a hurricane hits our area.

Just Got It - Its a Beauty

I have Just received the generator. It came very quickly. No Damage. Very good instructions, and easy to get everything installed. I will connect it to the house using the simple connection equipment. See YouTube. I will write a complete review after running it.

Great Dual Fuel Stand-by Generator

I love having the option to run this generator using propane as well as gasoline. You can use propane for a short power outage and then put the generator into long term storage without draining out the gas tank. Lots of features for however you need to use the unit.

Delivers what is promised!

I last purchased a backup generator in 1999 for Y2K. I didn't use it for the end of earth that our techies worried about, but the regular power outages we get several times of year. Electronic start rarely worked, gas tank too small for a 7500 W unit, and the power was anything but clean. The WGen9500DF has the promised power, is easy to start with a pull, the electronic start/fob both work reliably in cold weather and the unit's gas tank easily get's me through the day as the fob allows me to start and stop unit without going outside. Thanks!

Great features !

My family and I are very happy to have this product, Fuel Portable Generator a month ago. My grandson, 15 years old, is medical dependent. When we got a power outage in the house, we panicked, had to decide to take him to the ER or a hotel ? Now we have this Duel Generator in the house, we can give him all the treatments without stopping.
