Piece of mind for a rainy day

We got this to help keep critical parts of the house powered during loss of power. Pros: like that it came with oil and a properly shaped funnel to fill the reservoir. It is also nice that it came with a cord to keep the onboard battery charged so it doesn't die between uses. Cons: would like for the generator to have a load meter so we can easily see how heavily it is loaded. Other brands we have used included an easy to read load gauge.
I bought this generator after yet another huge storm blew through our town and left us without power for 4 days. This generator has a lot of bells and numerous great reviews online. I purchased the generator because it is large enough to power my house and keep my food cold and the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I'm tired of living in the dark when storms hit. I believe this machine will give me the peace of mind I'm looking for. I was satisfied with all of the positive I have read about this machine and hope I never need to use it , but glad I have it.
I received the WGen9500 on 7/21/22. Unit required very little assembly. The setup, maintenance, and operations instructions were very clear. I will need to procure both the 30Amp and 50Amp power lines separately. Would have been nice to have those included at the price paid for the generator. However, the generator is rich with functionality and should there be a grid power loss, I should be well prepared.
Followed up the set up instructions for initial start up. However it doesn’t seem to run consistently. It is making a surging sound. I hope to contact customer service to resolve the issue.
Very solid generator went step by step from the manual with setup and started up. No issues plugged in some power tools and welder ran very well love this generator.
