Great generator
on July 29, 2020
Posted by: barbca
from Northern California
I purchased this generator a couple of weeks ago due to the more frequent power outages in our area due to power safety shut offs. It is replacing a much smaller generator that we used during the occasional outage. The generator was easy to set up. It is a little heavy when putting the wheels on but not a big deal. Followed the start up directions and it fired right up on the first push of the button. We had an electrician install a 10 circuit transfer switch today and again the generator started up easily and powered most of the house. We have all circuits in our home connected with the exception of our A/C unit and washer/dryer. The whole delivery process and attention to detail with packaging was excellent. We chose this generator due to the size, electric start up with remote and the emergency pull start. Of course it is louder than our smaller generator but very tolerable sound level.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Power

I bought this as a home backup and am very impressed with how much I power in the house.
Starts easy and runs great. I have only used gas at this point, but plan to connect to the house propane.

I read the insruction manual, put the provided oil in the engine, conected the battery wires and pushed the start button. No problems. It fired up the first time. So far, so good.

Great First Impression

I just received my generator and haven't run it yet however I'm happy that it came packaged well with no damage. I was also very happy that it comes with everything you'll need except a power cord to plug it into your trailer or a transfer switch. It even came with a wrench which the instructions say isn't included. The instructions are very helpful and detailed. It's very impressive looking. I'm looking forward to getting some propane and trying it out.

Great Dual Fuel Generator!

from Metairie, LA
Bought this generator on July 10, 2020 and received it on July 15, 2020. Hooked it up to a propane tank, connected the battery wire, put the choke on and it fired right up and the choke turned off automatically. This is a really nice unit. Came with motor oil and tools for putting the wheels on. Smart design all the way around.

Easy setup and use!
on July 30, 2020

I purchased the WGEN9500DF last month in preparation for hurricane season in Florida after doing a lot of research. This is a versatile generator with lots of features and power to handle just about any situation whether it's a power outage, RV camping, or as a whole house generator if you install a transfer switch. Setup was easy although the unit is pretty heavy without the wheels and feet installed so be careful. Once those are on moving it is easy. My unit took the entire bottle of oil initially that came with it just FYI so you might want to purchase some extra 10w30. The battery was already connected to the terminals but there are 2 connectors in between the unit and the battery that need to be connected. The instructions only talk about hooking up the terminal connectors but that's already done. I've only used the propane so far just to make sure it worked and wouldn't leave gas inside while storing. It fired up like a champ on the first try with the push button start. After shutting it down, I plugged the battery in to charge so we're good to go for hurricane season. Hopefully we won't need to use it... :)
