This product was well represented and performs as described, only reason I didn't rate it a 5 is in cold weather it will cycle 4-5 times or more before starting on propane.
Went and picked up My Wgen9500 dfc and unpacked it and everything looks good. prepped it and it started with ease. doing the break-in now. I am impressed with the quality and ease of use. I am very happy with my decision to go with the Generator.
This generator is a beast. It's had everything included for the 1st start up including a tool kit. It even had the regulator for a propane tank. I followed all the instructions and it turned over and started with the 1st push of the button. I would highly recommend this product.
I bought this generator because the last snow storm we had knocked the power out for over 15 hours. Being a family of 6, many dogs and cats plus being a farm owner with horses and chickens, I can't have my property without power. We chose this generator because it has the option of running off of propane and gas. We haven't had to use it in an emergency situation yet. But, we are currently needing to use it to power a space heater for a chicken that is currently recovering from an injury. This product has definitely helped so far!
Master Electrician recommeded this specific Generator, worked great. Our home is all electric in Tx where the electric grid is infamous. Dual fuel is ideal - 100 lb tank of propane and 5 gallons of gas should take care of us for a few days in survival mode.
To Maximize efficiency of generator, I cut the load by Isolating recepticles for fridges on one dedicated circuit and Internet power & routers, TV etc. on another dedicated circuit. Now with breakers for things we don't need flipped of, and 5 of 22 breakers on, it never trips a breaker even with the electric heat pump running.
Careful when choosing 240V cord to connect for Home back-up, 90° plugs are difficult to plug in because of relative location to wheel. If you can find a straight one, much easier to use.
