I bought this a couple of months ago. It is very powerful. I can run the whole house with it ( thing that I need for emergency times). Starts right up without any problem, great features. Highly recommended.
This unit was in superb condition out of the box, having had to return the first one because of a cross-threaded oil drain plug which leaked oil. All components appear to be in good order. Instructions are well organized for a quick assembly of wheels and remote pairing, and startup.
I've researched a lot of generators and for the price and features, this is the one. Connected to my breaker plug turned propane on, Generator started, first set. After warming the generator, I simulated a power failure. The generator handled 31/2 ton a/c and most everything else that was on. Microwave must only be used while a/c is off. I'm so glad I'm finally ready for these frequent Hurricane power outages we've had here. One other thing, this thing assembles so fast,very easy.
I bought this as a backup generator as we seem to lose power at least once a year and my little 2k generator just isn't cutting it for the power I actually need. I like that it's dual fuel but I plan on using LP only as I hate having to do the maintenance with running gasoline engines.
Right out of the box, the wheels and riser feet were simple to install. Followed the instruction manual to get it running ready, filled oil and started right up off a 30lb LP tank. While this will hopefully be used sparingly when the power is out, my review is based off an initial test run. I don't foresee this generator getting heavy use but I feel so much more comfortable having an option for power, when we lose ours in the increasing storm outages in our area.
Next up is to build an outside housing, install a transfer switch and get a couple 100lb LP tanks and I should be more than ready for any lengthy outage. The remote start will become a nice feature at that point and my wife will even be able to get it up and running, if I weren't home to do so.
If anything changes down the road, I'll update my review.
I received the wgen9500DF on 7/20/21. First start up 7/24/21 was easy. It ran very smooth and steady. Im waiting for break in before I put a load on it , it may get another Star ?
