Just purchased this, assembly was easy. Did test run, started very easy, ran smoothly. Haven't had to use it yet, but will be powering my small house in emergencies with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid unit with lots of potential

Based on a couple of test runs the WGen12000 seems to be a pretty good unit. Everything was in good condition out of the box, and the little bit of setup required was easy. Just be prepared for the weight! Until you get this thing to the point when you can roll it on the wheels, it can be tough to manipulate 300+ lbs of generator.
So far I've done a test run with about a 20 Amp / 120 V motor load (2400 W). Once the generator kicked up out of idle, it didn't hiccup at all with those two loads going on and off. Idle is relatively quiet, but it does get loud under load.
The generator has an electric start with no manual pull start option, which is to be expected for a motor this size. No complaints here, just remember keeping up with your battery is one more maintenance item. I added an SAE battery quick disconnect so that I can use my own battery tender. The WGen comes with a DC charger and port, but I doubt the charging circuitry is on par with a true tender. The battery is going to be plugged in 99% of its life, so I'd rather not chance a flat battery when I do need it.
I will be wiring the house for a 50A/240V inlet with a breaker interlock. Looking forward to being able to power most, if not all, of the house when needed during outages.

Better than Advertised

We just completed 8 days without power because of Hurricane Laura. This generator was paused only for petro and checking the oil. It continuously ran all lights, refrigerator, entertainment centers, computers...... AND..... my 5 ton A/C (17 years old). We have a 2350 sq ft all electric house and would cool down to 69 degrees ......pause A/C .... and turn on 50 gal Hot Water heater. We hardly knew we were without power.
