Dual Fuel Is Great

Happy I bought it. Would recommend for every household to have one of these. Dual fuel makes it easier for elderly customers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing features, big power, small package

I originally bought a Champion 12,500/15,000 as a backup to power my home in case of an outage. I discovered that my house is pretty energy efficient as it would run my entire house including A/C, oven, stove, dryer, washer, lights, TV, everything simultaneously. I was ecstatic…until I ran a fuel efficiency test. With a 2,000 W load, it ran for 1 hour 15 minutes on one gallon of gas. As I thought about what an outage would be like, I didn’t like the thought of burning through 20 gallons of fuel every 24 hours (and that’s only with a minimal load). That’s 4 gas cans, and gas can be hard to find as I discovered during the winter storms that occurred In February 2021. The Wgen9500DF offers a ton of features that the Champion didn’t offer. Most importantly, it’s fuel efficiency is unrivaled in the open frame category. That same 2,000 W load should run for 2 hours 45 minutes on the same one gallon of gas. On top of that, you get one touch auto-choke start (champion has manual choke with starter switch), Remote start, dual fuel, a fuel gauge, and a considerably smaller and lighter package. As a plus, this generator arrived undamaged and the battery connection was much simpler to make than it was on the Champion generator. The only 2 things I’m sacrificing are 2,000W less of running/starting watts and the digital load meter. I’m mostly bummed about the lack of load metering but during the Champion testing, normal house was under 30% load so I know this generator has plenty of power to do what I need it to. Setup was fairly simple and moving it to the back yard was much easier than the 300+ lb Champion was. It fired up on the 2nd try and ran smoothly. I still need to hook it up to my 50A transfer switch and break it in, but given the thousands of highly positive reviews this unit has received, I’m confident it will perform flawlessly.

Works great!

Bought this generator on a Friday, it arrived the following Monday without any damage. Monday night I took it out of the box and put the tires and feet on it. Took the manuals inside and read
through them. Next morning I went out and out I’ll in it, charted the battery, turned the switch over to propane and it started right up. Definitely love the digital voltage readout with the volts, frequency, and run hours on it. Definitely will help with maintenance. Can’t wait to see how this generator holds up in the future.

Great Generator

I bought this to replace an older, smaller unit that broke down due to lack of oil. This unit is smaller in size, yet has more than twice the output. Thankfully I haven't needed to use it yet, but the electric start is so easy and the dual fuel feature is great for longer outages. Most importantly, it has auto-shutdown if the oil level runs low, as well as runtime meter to remind me when to perform maintenance.
