Have only had the wgen9500 generator for a few days now and have experienced multiple power outages due to the Oregon wild fires. This thing runs all the important stuff and more. When used with my (probably over 100 year old Westinghouse arc) welder, I get a very consistent output. It also runs the air compressor and plasma cutter simultaneously with the welder with no issues (as long as the welder is set properly-I haven't had a reason to try to crank it up to 295amps..)
Bought this unit after we lost power for 11 days last year. We had to rent a generator( smaller in size) and the cost of the rental for 11 days was more than the purchase price of this one. Haven't had to use it yet. Just unboxed it to assemble the wheels and feet. I like that it has 3 different start options. It will be easy to maneuver and set up by myself if and when it is needed. It is quite heavy. Our box came with oil spilled on it from transport but was otherwise is good condition.
