Versatility
on August 29, 2020
Posted by: MTtoLA
from Baton Rouge, LA
I just got this generator yesterday. I purchased it for the flexibility of dual fuel and it is large enough to still run my small A/C unit, fridge and freezer. I like the fact that is still has the pull start option, as batteries and electronic push buttons will eventually have issues. It is heavy at 220 lbs dry, but is easy to unpack and assemble the wheels, feet, battery connection, and engine oil. Hooked it up to propane tank for test and started on the 5th pull. Started on 1st pull each try thereafter. Push button start on the console worked fine, as did the remote start key fob. I tested the fob at about 50 yards, and it started and stopped fine. Manual states will start up to 109 yards. Noise level is reasonable for the size of generator. Rolls well with the hinge out handle and large wheels. The 120 V AC GFCI plugs worked fine. Have yet to test the 240V outlets. Only tool not provided is a crescent wrench to tighten the propane connection to the supplied hose/regulator. Documentation is easy to follow and provide adequate level of detail. Too early to comment on long term performance, but early indications are favorable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very happy so far

Delivery was great.
Basically perfect condition other than some minor scuffs (understandable given it traveled across the country and is so large and heavy).
What was essential for me is that the manual states its designed to be hooked up to a whole home propane tank - my gas company was unwilling to provide a connection otherwise.
Time will tell how it holds up, but with proper maintenance, Im hoping it should last a very long time

Bought this generator after going 5 days with no power. Had a 50 amp transfer switch installed and the generator runs everything we need.

Great Buy

I did a lot of research before buying this generator and I am very satisfied with it.
I would like to see you guys come out with a tri fuel generator adding natural gas. During a storm gasoline and propane are very scarce and with natural gas it gives you a long term option.

Does It All

I purchased the WGEN9500df generator yesterday. It was easy to setup and get reedy to run. Hook up my propane tank and the generator fired up in just a couple seconds. The next day I put the generator on and powered up my house with it. I currently have a 30 amp plug but will be switching over to the 50 amp plug after I upgrade my breaker in my panel. Generator ran great with out any issues. I love the remote start button not that it is necessary but just a nice extra. I would highly recommend this generator to anyone as an alternative to a Generac or similar whole house unit.

terrific features

I live on the east coast of Florida. After a lengthy search and study I purchased this dual fuel model so that I may be prepared for what ever may come in the wake of losing power to my home after a hurricane. I have dealt with power outages due to storms many times and the aftermath is unpredictable. When a power grid goes out all the gas stations lose power as well and if the power is out for weeks you can find yourself in a dire predicament. Having more than one option for fuel makes sense.
I found this generator to be a great value for features and price. I am very pleased with it's power and performance! I would recommend this generator to anyone who wants to be better prepared for emergencies.

Bought this as an upgrade for more power to run my entire home. Set up to run on LP with back feed into box at 50 amps. Plenty of power and easy to set up. Took about 15-20 mins to unbox and assemble. Great buy and well worth the money!
