I was using a smaller generator running wires into the house when power was out. After a winter ice storm and being out of power for several days, my smaller generator could not handle the load in keeping the house warm. I hired an electrician to add a connection into the house. Hooking up via a 50 amp connection. I tested this generator running the AC. The generator worked fine. I did not notice the generator being drained when running the AC. A lot quieter than I expected. The generator was fairly easy to assemble. With the wheels on, my wife can move the generator back and forth if needed. I am pleased with my purchase. This provides me peace of mind when the power is out.
Just recently purchased the WGen 9500 DF. Delivered in good shape, no damage and on time just as Shipper promised. Simple set-up. Put on wheels and feet and Generator is practically ready to go. The unit does weigh about 200 lbs so to get wheels and feet on, I was able to tilt the generator up on its side and slip a 4 x 4" block under the frame and put the Back wheels on. Had to add a 2 x 4" block to give enough clearance to put the front feet on. Pretty easy to move. Lots of good features, electric start, remote start, and many outputs to run our house power including hot water in case of power outage.
I bought this generator because my brother in law has had one for a couple of years now, they live in Florida and it’s worked every time during hurricane season hasn’t let him down!
I bought this generator 1year ago and before I reviewed I like to try things for the long run and if you see this post it’s because definitely works haven’t had any problem I been running my whole house with this
We purchased this generator first for a generator backup in case of a power outage, we just built a new home and had a 30 amp switch installed into our power supply so we could switch to generator power if needed to run a couple appliances, I also plan on using this generator to build a shed in the back yard. This is a very well built generator that is easy to assemble and move around. I would recommend this generator it even comes with a remote start.
Followed the quick guide and owners manual and it started right up first try. Now just need to wait for the power to go out for 2 straight days again, get this running and we'll be in business. If needed I'll update the review at that point.
We are in East Texas and power outages happen often with our storms. We are so excited to put this generator to the test. The advantage of propane is that gasoline can get old if things go well for too long around here. Propane doesn't go bad. We had two other people choose this generator at the same time we did, and found out later we were all on the same page for quality.
