Just took delivery of our new Wgen9500DF and I am impressed. It’s a beautiful, well designed unit that I believe will do everything we need it to. Hoping to never run it on gasoline unless I need the extra 1000 watts. Hooked up the propane tank, turned it on and hit the start button and boom, started immediately and ran perfectly. Plugged in a couple of saws just to test and it did great. Should power most of our home without a problem. Glad we made this choice.
Ordered online and got it delivered yesterday. I assembled the wheels and front stands, filled with the provided oil and started it on Propane. Left it work with no loads for 30 minutes, then put some gas in the tank and switch the fuel source on gas. Engine works stable. The design is great, well painted, love the blue color. Affordable price for all the features and electric power. One think that I don't like - it's very loud, even deafening. I got it as a power backup at home, but have no idea where to hide it and run it in case of a need. My neighbors will hate me in a radius of 300 yards around me. I think the manufacturer should really invest in some sort of a muffler. Other than that, the electric start, remote start and all type electric outlets make it a great tool. On a side note, when running on a propane - I like it much better, it's less louder, not an exhaust smell, clean air. Bottom line - I will keep it, will use it and will recommend it to anyone looking for a generator backup at home, or performing contractors work, where no power source is available
An easy generator to hook up that really does the job. The fact that it is portable makes it easy to store. The way the base is designed it is very easy to move. Excellent generator for a great price point.
