I bought this generator only couple of weeks ago after extended search and checking, reading many reviews . Wgen9500DF always come out on the top or close to it. Unpacking and assembly was a snap. Oil included and the battery was charged. Electric start at first time did required the setting of the choke (The Quick Start Guide didn't ask for it) but then started right away. Load testing at ~2kW went fine, the engine idled and rev up nicely as the load came on line and cycled. Since the generator just a fairly expensive insurance policy against outages the real value of it I'll learn later, preferably much later. Until that I cannot judge reliability or peak-load performance. The generator has a good array of outlets and safety features. I like the digital display however a watts readout function would be useful. I'm not sure the real life value of a remote starter since you have to turn on the fuel valve somehow, but nice to have one. Overall I'm very satisfied for now and hope it will stay that way.
This is an excellent generator with a lot of great features. The ability to run off gasoline or propane is great and one of the main reasons I purchased this generator. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable generator with dual fuel options. I also love the remote start feature and the option for 30 or 50 amp connections.
Just got the generator last week. Instructions were easy to follow. After assembly the generator started without any problems. I would recommend this product without hesitation.
Just unpacked my new WGen9500DF. It was ready to go right out of the box, just had to install the wheels and add oil which was included in the box. With the power outages in Texas I needed a powerful generator to protect my family during winter weather, hurricanes, and long hot summers. So far I am happy with my purchase.
