Really nice generator!

I bought this a couple of months ago to provide backup power to my home in case of a power outage during the Maine cold winters. I haven't had to use it for a power failure yet, but I have started and tested the generator. I like the electric start with the key FOB. The assembly was quick and easy by installing 2 wheels and adding oil to the crankcase. I expect this generator to spend most of its life being stored under cover in my garage, but the peace of mind that I now have back up power for my home is worth every dime I paid for this unit. Really nice unit! I'm very pleased with the WGEN9500DF generator overall.
I bought this product a few days ago and honestly it is the perfect generator for situations that could get difficult such as hard rainstorms. I love it
The smartest thing we ever did, with rolling blackouts becoming more frequent and food more expensive, we can power our freezers and our computers & air conditioners. To keep working, we can't go down in a rolling blackout.
I love the electric start. Remote start is nice but I don't know if I'll ever use it. I plan to keep the generator inside and roll it out to run and connect. Sadly a decent transfer switch is nearly the cost of the generator. More if I have to pay for installation.
I've been wanting to buy this product for a while to power my house during the Arizona monsoon season when we occasionally loose power. I finally made it happen! I first started it on propane which started right up. After reading other peoples thoughts on the break in procedure I decided to run it on gasoline. Fired right up! The Gasoline break in theory is that the fuel has more lubricants than propane and will aid in longevity.
Assemble today. Had only one problem. The wire from the battery to ground had a bad connection. Had to replace the solderless connection on the ground wire. After that all systems ran good. Will update when I connect to the house.
