I love the fact that this a dual fuel generator. No more flashlights or candles! Big, strong, sturdy beast of a machine!! I feel secure in knowing that I have purchased a quality product from a reliable company.
The generator arrived promptly according to their delivery schedule securely packaged. Assembly (wheels and feet) was quite easy and the duel fuel option will allow for greater use in extreme instances. The operation and maintenance directions were easy to easy to understand. I have only given four stars at this time because I have not actually started and used it as of yet and so cannot provided information regarding it's running condition and performance. However, it appears to be a sturdy and quality build and if it works as well as it looks this generator will exceed more than my expected needs. I am looking forward to giving it a test run.
This delivered today, put on the wheels and feet = 5 minutes. Put in the oil and connected rhino propane tank = 5 minutes Pushed the button on the remote and it fired up on the first crank. Delivery was good came on the right day at the right time and package condition was excellent.
Haven’t used it in an emergency situation yet but product was packaged great. Great directions. Did the assembly and fluid add and cranked right up. Seems to be high quality product!
I purchased the WGEN9500DF last month in preparation for hurricane season in Florida after doing a lot of research. This is a versatile generator with lots of features and power to handle just about any situation whether it's a power outage, RV camping, or as a whole house generator if you install a transfer switch. Setup was easy although the unit is pretty heavy without the wheels and feet installed so be careful. Once those are on moving it is easy. My unit took the entire bottle of oil initially that came with it just FYI so you might want to purchase some extra 10w30. The battery was already connected to the terminals but there are 2 connectors in between the unit and the battery that need to be connected. The instructions only talk about hooking up the terminal connectors but that's already done. I've only used the propane so far just to make sure it worked and wouldn't leave gas inside while storing. It fired up like a champ on the first try with the push button start. After shutting it down, I plugged the battery in to charge so we're good to go for hurricane season. Hopefully we won't need to use it... :)
