Before I purchase power equipment, I always look at the user manual. I downloaded the User Manual for this WGnen9500DF generator. The manual for this unit is very complete, well written and includes a parts list. Set up was straight forward and there were no issues. The battery was already connected and only needed to be plugged into a mating connector. For the initial run, I connected it to propane. It started on the second try and ran without any problems. All controls and indicators worked as they should.
Has some nice features and has a compact size compared to my previous 9000w generator. It has plenty of power to run the entire house and probably could run the 5 ton central air with everything else off.
I purchased the WGen9500DF a month ago in preparation for a possible brush with a hurricane. We got lucky once again with no loss of power but will be well prepared for future storms.
The generator came by freight and arrived in an undamaged box ( A rarity for me). Upon opening, I was happy to discover that it was well packed and in perfect condition. The wheels were a pretty simple assembly and in no time was ready to fire up. Not wanting to deal with gas in the tank at this time, I decided to hook it up to my propane tank. A push of the start button and in 3 automatic start tries it turned over. Frequent starts since are firing on the first go around. At 50 feet my decibel meter app registered in at 63db. It is much quieter than I expected. I have since run it on propane with minor power draw for around 5 hours. As of yet it no issues. The remote fob has an incredible distance range. I have started from over 100ft away. One thing I did notice on this generator that I don't recall reading in my search was the auto choke on it. No need to manually set the choke when using the start button or the remote fob(Wife friendly).
I spent a lot of time researching generators before making this purchase. I can honestly say this generator meets all my expectations and then some. The fact that my wife can use this with me not around.... Bonus!
If you are teetering on the fence with this one... take the fall. It won't dissapoint.
