Convenient features

This generator has many features that make using it convenient. Remote start, dual fuel is an easy switch when needed, leave gas in the tank but run it out of the carburetor before storing and battery charger are some of the features that make this generator a good choice.

The Beast!!

I had my Electrician make two cords for the two 50 amp receptacles (100 amps) on this generator to power the whole house. Leaving out all the details, this Monster powered the whole house on just 50 amps! I will use the available 100 amps but I just thought this was amazing! I could not find any other portable generators with this amount of power and with two 50 amp receptacles. I saved roughly 50% of the cost of a standby generator. For my situation, this generator choice worked best. It's big and heavy. I think it needs at least a 20-25 gallon gas tank. It comes with a 17 gallon tank. I have not used the propane or natural options. I'm happy, wife is happy!

Great features

I bought this item about 2 weeks ago and felt that this generator will hold up better to other generators. I Ike that it has dual function so can easily switch from one source to the other. The remote function is neat but how easy is it to turn on the front than stand 15ft away and startup.Will see if it stands up when I do lose power but for now very impressed.

Well built machine

I bought 12000 DF last week got it delivered 5 days earlier than expected which was a bonus. It took all of ten minutes to put the wheels and feet pegs on plus the oil. Once that was done it was time to put some gas in the tank and fired right up. Have not tried propane run yet as I don't have any yet. Would highly recommend this generator.

Perfect fit for my back needs

I own a house that is all electric. We occasionally have a power outage and we need a generator to run our house. A stand alone system is far more expensive for the once in a while need. This unit runs my heat pump, fridge, internet and more with the two 50 AMP connections.

Just what I needed

I bought after the fabled Texas Winter of 2021. Of course ERCOT was so embarrassed that they mandated improvements so that we have had only a few outages since and mostly less than an hour. I have not run it enough to perform normal maintenance. However, I can comment on a couple of recommended improvements. The oil dipstick fits too tightly into the access hole. The wire handle so small that it is difficult to insert due to bending, and to extract, because it is so tight. Also to prevent gasoline w/ ethanol from crystallizing in the carburetor or the fuel lines, the gas must be drained. This is difficult because the hose from the tank to the valve is behind the valve switch plate. I can remove the hose from the valve but it is not long enough to reach to a drain bucket. Same problem with adding oil. The cap is recessed so that I had to buy a funnel with long spout to get oil in. Just some inconveniences. All in all, a great product

Power For A Stormy Day (or week)

Just received the generator yesterday and uncrated it. All the bells and whistles were there and it was packed very well for shipping. I will be running it using natural gas for fuel and I'm having a gas hookup with quick disconnect connectors and a electrical lockout switch installed Saturday. The impetus for me to purchase this particular generator was my neighbor just recently purchasing the same model (Wgen14500 Tfc). He has three refrigerators, two A/C units plus a window A/C, 6 TV's and two microwaves which he all ran simultaneously. Only after he started the second microwave did the 50 amp breaker finally open on the generator. Good enough for me!

Whole House Power

These things are popular. It was only a few days after ordering this they were already out of stock. I got this to run the majority of my ~3500 sq ft house since power seems to go out enough I get concerned about food going bad. I bought this one specifically due to high power output and that it runs on natural gas. I needed to get my gas meter upgraded by my gas utility, then have a plumber hook the new meter up (homeowner not allowed to do this in my area). One thing I didn't easily find was the NG hose size for the WGEN14500Tfc, it is 3/4" and it came with a 25' 3/4" hose with quick connects. I also made a custom interlock for my main electrical panel and added a power inlet. I did fire it up on NG and test output but haven't hooked it up to the house yet. Very solid product, and heavy, but rolls easily with the wheels and handles.

Nice unit

Unboxed it, filled it with the supplied oil, hooked the battery and put some gas in it and paired the remote. Fired up on the 2nd try. Turned it on and off from the remote about 50 ft away with no problems. I don't have a load on it yet but will give it a shot after wiring the house with it. I will post those results on you tube once I do it.

Amazing generator.

After waiting for over a year for the WGen12000DF units to be available, I was finally able to purchase one in June of 2021. The unit was very well packaged and arrived with no damage. It started right up on propane. The regulators built into the generator frame are designed to operate on low pressure LPG (propane) at 10-14 inches water column, or high pressure LPG right from a propane bottle or home supply tank. This set-up provides ideal flexibility. I haven't yet connected the unit to my house, but I have no doubt that it will perform as expected.
