My last generator died after 17 years and three hurricanes later. I spent some time researching new generators and am extremely pleased that I settled on the WGen9500DF. I like the dual fuel feature, as now I am prepared better to have both fuel types on hand. In fact, I may purchase a 100 LB LP tank for the unit. This unit has a 50 Amp plug, so I have plenty of power to run items in my home. I also like the display on the unit so I can keep track of voltage and run time for maintenance. The unit has remote auto start. It's nice but not considered a necessary.
Seems to be a good product. Easy to assemble. Started right up. Only ran it for a few minutes. Hurricane season just started. Hope I don’t need it, but glad I have it.
I bought the product and after and I had to use it for 28 hours almost immediately. This is the generator I've always wanted, this is what I saw after it's been running all this time. Very economical and quiet. I recommend it to anyone who needs a generator
We've been having alot of power outages lately due to weather and falling trees. Wife was finally fed up and to avoid sleeping in the shop, we purchased this as a home backup generator. We have a small 1500 sqf house, added an interlock switch, and good to go. When I ran the generator for its break in period it fired up on the first push of the start button without fail. Once the break in period was done, I went ahead and changed the oil even though it didn't need it. We connected it to the house switched over to generator power and slowly started turning on breakers. This machine performed flawlessly. I don't want another power outage, but we are ready for the next one.
First, I have to complement the easy to read manual with all the proper setup instructions and maintenance manual. This product is boxed without the wheels attached and was easy to assemble those few parts. Rolls smoothly. This will be most important to me as part of my hurricane supplies, & great that it is dual fuel as these resources can be very hard to find just before or after a disaster. I also like that the outlets have rubber weather covers on them especially fir outlets that will not be in use.
As newcomers to Florida we needed to get prepped for hurricane season and did a lot of research into which generator to buy. This dual fuel with remote start fit exactly what we were looking for feature-wise and power wise. We feel confident that it will make losing power a lot more comfortable for us.
