First time I went to use this generator when the power went out, I hooked up the battery and the panel indicator showed it was good. After several attempts to start, I realized it didn't have enough juice. I had to use my portable jump box to start it. Pretty sad on a brand-new unit. Otherwise, it was great.

Passed all tests and ready to install. I like the "smart" feature of dropping to idle with the electrical load comes off. I also like the oil cooler and oil filter location. Solid and well thought-out design. So features and construction rate 5 stars. If it lasts as long as the 5kw it replaces (20 years), I'd give it 10 stars.

My friend referred me to this brand of generator because it powered his home last year during a week long outage. I bought this generator to run the essential circuits in the house and I am very pleased. I haven't placed my central air units on the generator, but everything else is good. Definitely buy this generator.

After some severe weather where we lost power all day it was time to purchase a generator. Wanted the natural gas option as I'm lucky enough to have a line ran outside off my deck. Package showed up on time in great condition. Set up is simple and this generator comes with every thing you need , even the natural gas line! For the price and ease of use I would definitely recommend. Little heavy(to be expected for its size) has wheels to roll and 2 adults would have no problem lifting this into a truck if needed to move from one site to the next. Im OK with it as I don't plan to move it much once it's in place just needed a big enough generator to power the house in case we have an outage again.

Purpose of Purchase: Bought this generator to power my food truck during service and as a backup power source for my home during outages. Upgrade Justification: I upgraded from an 8kW generator, which required refueling during long events (e.g., 12-hour shifts). Refueling meant pausing service—even with a line of customers—just to add gas. That's no longer an issue. Performance: This generator ran for a full 12-hour period on a single tank of gas without needing a refill. That's a huge plus and a game changer for continuous service. 🔑 Key Notes & Considerations: CO2 Sensor Issue: The generator shut off three times while running in an open field. The lights indicated a CO2 sensor error. I solved this by placing a fan near it to keep air circulating—worked like a charm. Unsure why it triggered in open air, but something to watch for. Battery Management: After my first test run, I forgot to turn off the battery switch. Several hours later, I noticed a light still on. Unfortunately, the battery drained completely and now won't recharge. Major downside: If the battery dies, there's no manual recoil option to start the generator. Jumper cables from your car or a power pack will resolve this issue. ✅ Pros: Long runtime (12+ hours) on a single tank Powerful enough for food truck and emergency home use Smooth, quiet operation Moderate noise ❌ Cons: Sensitive CO2 sensor (may require extra airflow) No backup manual start option Battery can die easily if left on and won't recharge

I live in florida and bought this after IAN. I have used it twice since during helene and Milton. It ran my whole house minus one or two rooms to i clude a 4 ton ac, two refrigerators, a deep freezer, microwave, 3 bedrooms and living room. It was flawless. Propane and gas switch over is easy. The best part is an oil change is so simple with the extended hose. The nrst home purchase i ever made.

After review of past recommendations, I bought this machine to power our house during any power outages. I pulled the plug on the house and this machine powered the entire house including 2 refrigerators, multiple overhead fans, and 3 computers. So far, so good. Thanks.

I saw a lot of good reviews and figured this was a good fit and didn't disappoint. Some very minimal assembly but after filling the oil and gas, it started right up. The remote start and stop also works very well, very responsive. Very happy with the purchase so far!

I purchased this to run my entire house after Texas' Snowmagedden. Another event happened in 2023 whereby the 12000DF ran for 48 hours without incident. I had to manually balance the load through various breakers but my house was warm, all the appliances worked and we were comfortable. This is a very heavy unit so don't think that it is easily portable. Great unit.

I've yet to use it in an outage, but overall I'm impressed with the overall package of the WGEN1200DFc. Instructions were great and it fired right up. I like that the THD is low and the dual fuel means I can keep a propane tank on hand instead of a bunch of fuel.
