Power up the whole house

Since we have a well, we need a generator with sufficient power. This generator, although a bit loud, does the trick. The wheels that come with it are easy to install.
I’m seriously impressed with this generator. The overall build quality is excellent and the remote start? C’mon. So cool to have and actually really convenient. It has plenty of power to run everything in our house with proper use.
The only unfortunate thing I have to say is mine came with some cosmetic damage. Not sure when it was done to it but it has some scratches and scuffs on it. I included a picture for reference.
But overall I’m very pleased and would absolutely recommend this generator.
First time having a generator, was sick of losing power and sitting through it. What a life saver! Hooked up to transfer box and runs all the essentials without a hiccup. Great purchase!
This 9,500 watt generator provides power to all my appliances, including central AC, which is great because I wasn't sure about the AC. It won't power the two 7,500 watt elements in my heating system, but I didn't expect it to and have propane heating in my house for that.
This is my first gas generator purchased in late October. I did quite some online research and decided to go with this brand and model based on our house needs. I am not a handy person yet I found the instructions very clear and easy to follow. I set up the wheels and filled up the gas tank, connected the battery then ready to start. It took me a few minutes to realize that I didn't put the gas valve to the "On" position. The electric start really made the start so simple. I let it ran for an hour to help break a little bit. Very satisfied with the experience of getting started. Now I have the generator wired to the panel by an electric engineer and expect it to run the whole house except the AC.
Less than an hour to get the unit setup and running like a work horse. Electric and remote start allows you to turn it on/off with ease conserving fuel when not in use.
I purchased the WGen9500 generator to use as backup power when our electricity goes out, which happens sometimes in the fall and winter. I am very pleased with the fact that it has plenty of power to practically provide electricity to all our circuits. I love the push button start and also the remote starter. It started up immediately when I got it and runs great. I definitely recommend this unit to anyone.
