We purchased this generator to connect most of our house to, and so far, it seems to live up to the reviews we read before selecting this among many other models.
Picked up 2 generators today, and both had the wheel axle washers that were too small. Go buy 4 each 1/2" washers before going home. Had to drive back to town to get the right size. And, yes, they did not have enough oil provided to get the level above the low mark, so grab another pint or quart of SAE 10-30 oil.
Recently purchased a portable home generator and was very happy with my selection of the WGen9500DF. It was very easy to understand and the duel fuel type is perfect for my needs. I was able to get the generator up and running in 20 minutes from the removal from the box. This should allow me to run most of the necessary items in my house should we loose power. The unit was very quiet compared to other generators I have used. I hope that I will not have a need for it soon, but I feel better knowing that when the time comes I will have the means to keep my home running.
So easy to assemble. Put on wheels, front legs, added provided oil, hooked up to propane with provide hose and hit the start button. Immediately started. Did not put any load on, but ran great.
I bought this recently for a back up for my house and boy does it deliver. I even had my hot tub running and 2000sq ft house running as normal. Of course we are all energy efficient being in California but non the less it is more than enough. The only thing is that is is a little bit loud but I fixed that by building a box with a fan and well ventilation. Helps a lot of you want to run 24/7. Glad we went with this instead of going the very pricey route.
