The first thing I noticed about the WGen9500DF was how solid its built, heavy duty. I’m in the industrial mechanical world and this generator has heavy duty hardware, components, and is built to last. Even the product manual tells me they know what they are doing, they mention ethanol issues and show you how to drain the gas/lines to avoid issues. Clear break in instructions and maintenance periods with explanations for each. Designed for easy maintenance. This all is what impresses me most because nowadays most products are not like that, they are built cheap and they don’t care to tell you how to get the longest life from the product. Next thing most are probably concerned with is noise...its not unusually louder then any other gens, I’ve owned others that are definitely louder. Its has a good solid purr and sounds like a healthy engine. I set it about 50’ from my house and inside with the TV on it sounded like my neighbors mowing, not bad. I only run NON ETHANOL gas in my small engines, that and the way this gen is built i feel it will last me a lifetime of use. Cranks right up and makes power, only other features I care about other than above. Thank you!
After much pre-purchase investigation online, comparisons to various competitor's similar product suggests that your WGen9500DF is likely the best choice and better value. Primarily considered engine displacement, sleeved cylinder, wattage, weight, portability, fuel consumption, noise level, outlet receptacles, dual fuel, battery charger, remote start & price. Much faith placed in Brand Name of widely known American company, with promised Lifetime Technical Support. No setup or startup problems. Still running in initial break-in period, and haven't yet applied heavy loads.
Bought it just over 1 month ago and had already served its purpose. Kept my pipes from freezing and food from spoiling when we lost power. In my opinion I earned my money back with 1 use.
