Got this because it supports dual fuel and 50 amp

Easy to put together. Started right up. During power outages we will plug this into a 30 amp transfer switch we have on our power pedestal at the farm. We don't need the 50 amp receptacle right now but it is nice to have for future use. Propane fuel is good to use because it doesn't get stale. The remote start is a bonus. This generator will serve our needs now and in the future.
Purchased this generator after a lot of comparison to other manufacturers when looking for a home backup generator. Can’t beat the combination of features, power, reliability, and value.
I chose this generator to take advantage of the 50 amp capability since I have to supply power to a well pump during power outages. I went back and forth with the WGen7500DF due to overall fuel consumption, but it came down to wanting the 50 amp NEMA14-50R receptacle. I have not had a chance to run it in a real backup scenario yet, but I believe I will be prepared. I love all of the features that are included, like the electric and remote start and the 4 power ports. Assembly was very easy, and I used their supplied oil as break in. I would have given it an excellent review, but I have not had a chance to run it long term. In addition, one of the nuts for one leg seemed to be "over welded" so I could not get the bolt to engage. I used a temporary tie wrap and will have to run a thread tool through it to clean it up when I get the time. All in all, so far, so good.
The generator is a dream as it starts with the push of a button or using the included fob remote. It also can power multiple items, and though heavy (210 pounds or so), it is easily wheeled.
I bought this after the Texas winter storm of February 2022. I love that’s it dual fuel. Super easy to start. Remote start is an added bonus. I can start this from the house. Impressed with the quality of the product.
Needed something sufficient to run our furnace and other key appliances. This not only fit the bill, but great features like push button start and dual fuel flexibility is very helpful when bad weather hits.
Wish I had this before the Jan 2022 storm in MD, my neighbor had one he was able To stay home and power his house while I had to take My family to a hotel. Never again.
