Just what I needed
on October 27, 2022
Posted by: Maccabee
from Sonora, Texas
I bought after the fabled Texas Winter of 2021. Of course ERCOT was so embarrassed that they mandated improvements so that we have had only a few outages since and mostly less than an hour. I have not run it enough to perform normal maintenance. However, I can comment on a couple of recommended improvements. The oil dipstick fits too tightly into the access hole. The wire handle so small that it is difficult to insert due to bending, and to extract, because it is so tight.
Also to prevent gasoline w/ ethanol from crystallizing in the carburetor or the fuel lines, the gas must be drained. This is difficult because the hose from the tank to the valve is behind the valve switch plate. I can remove the hose from the valve but it is not long enough to reach to a drain bucket.
Same problem with adding oil. The cap is recessed so that I had to buy a funnel with long spout to get oil in.
Just some inconveniences. All in all, a great product

We bought the WGen 12000DF to replace an older generator we had. It works amazing It does everything I can through at it. The packaging was fantastic It didn't have a scratch on. On top of all the features this generator has, having a remote to start and stop it makes it worth every penny.

Works but Engine shuts off after 5-10 minutes of o

Bought this as a backup generator for my house and it performs as it should under load but the engine shuts down after 5-10 minutes of operation. Doesn't trip any breakers and starts right back up after shutting down. Being brand new this should not happen for what these cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just got it yesterday, fired it up today .. started immediately… have not ran a load yet. But will, after the break-in period… unfortunately I have to run it for at lease 5 hours before I can put a substantial load on it.. but will have that done in a few days.. no problem

We live on a hill and wind is terrible. Kind of excited for the next power outage to test this under real circumstances. I didn't need to run everything at once but tried a real life power outage scenario at ran my house way better than expected!

Not Impressed

So, I set up Gen. Missing bolt for battery. Found a bolt and installed. Filled with oil and started without load. Looked around a saw gas shooting out near propane hookup and cooling fan was sucking it in and spraying all over Gen. Shut down and traced back under air filter. Removed lower housing for air filter and found one of the bolts loose too. The fuel shut off pushed out of the housing also when we tried to troubleshoot and lost more gas. Found one of the fuel lines cracked at clamp. I replaced the line. Running ok.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
