I bought this to use in emergencies when electricity is out. I unboxed it and the small amount of assembly was easy. Very easy start with remote. Good instructions except no mention of turning on fuel line. Hopefully I will not need it but I feel confident it will do the job.
For a long time I thought about getting a portable back up generator for an emergency. After researching and comparing, it came down to two generator. The Wgen9500DF and a competitor with the same feature. However, the Wgen9500DF had two features ( my wife liked a lot) the other brand didn’t have. The Remote start and the smarts switch box. I bought this generator after the winter storm 2020 hear in Texas. Also they expected the rolling blackouts during the summer so not wanting to be without electric power we decided on this generator to run the whole house. I have tested the generator running the 30 amp twist lock outlet on A wet dry vac and jigsaw and reciprocal saw with no problem. Have not wired to the house yet but will give a follow up review once it is completely connected.
I bought this generator just a week ago and I'm very satisfied. The generator came within 4 days. Easy to set up out of the box, just haven't had time to put it to real use yet.
